A typical response from someone who has never seen a muslim except on TV (and maybe at a quick shop). I HAVE had them into my home. I have been to theirs. We could learn something about hospitality from them.
I am not naive about Islam. I am probably one of the few freepers who has actually READ the Koran (remindeded me of the book of mormon). The religion is a producer of hate, violence, superstition, and worse. I have been in muslim communities in Europe and I have seen more than from some news clip. I am NOT impressed. It is a culture of death.
However, my point is that there are mindless hate spewing bigots here who are so fascinated by the "us" v "them" stuff that they cannot bring themselves to acknowledge a simple testimony of a non-muslim that some guy did a heroic thing. THIS IS JUST PLAIN STUPIDITY, whether you dress it up in an American Flag or cover it with bible verses. It is conceived in hate, gestated in ignorance, and birthed by appalling stupidity.
What is worse, the nimrods who hold onto this like an inbred dog clutching a bone think themselves uberpatriots and defenders of our Christian heritage. They see anyone who argues that Muslims too can have sparks of decency, heroism, nobility and the common stuff of human kindness is giving into pc leftism. This kind of tripe is so phenomenally idiotic that it sometimes hurts my head just talking with these clowns. What is worse, it is often steeped in a self-righteous pride that stinks the same stench as the filth that comes from the madrassas. No wonder, as they both have the same father.
Am I better off than Muslims? You better believe it. But not better. Just better off.
Good Afternoon DOPC,
Excellent response. I have also read the Koran as well, in 1971. Life is full of choices as to who we deem our friends or enemies.
On 9/11 I made my choice and each morning I touch my(Gold American Flag pendant which I wear on a gold chain around my neck. I repeat these words engraved on the back of the pendant,”Remember 9/11.”
I hope you will remember as well and be cautious in your house guests.
In closing, Sun Tzu was correct in saying know your enemies better than you know yourself.
P.S. When it comes to family everybody else is a stranger.
Respectfully,
