'Moderate' Islam's PR nightmare
NY Post ^ | October 06, 2010 | Editorial

Posted on 10/06/2010 3:11:48 AM PDT by Scanian

Faisal Shahzad had one last moment in the spotlight yesterday before being shipped off to a lifetime behind bars for his attempt to explode a car bomb in Times Square last May.

Not surprisingly, he took full advantage of his soapbox and captive audience.

"Brace yourselves," he warned, "because the war with Muslims has just begun. Consider me the first droplet of the flood that will follow. The defeat of the US is imminent and will happen in [the] near future."

First droplet?

Sorry, Faisal, but that war started on Sept. 11, 2001.

And most New Yorkers get it.

Still, Shahzad now will have a long time to pursue his perverse fantasies of America's demise.

While he rots away in prison.

"We are proud terrorists, and we will keep on terrorizing you," the Pakistani-born immigrant told Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum. "If I'm given 1,000 lives, I will sacrifice them all for the life of Allah."

Dream on, buddy. Better off dropping the visions of glory and start considering how truly tedious life on the slow boat to martyrdom is going to be.

Shahzad claimed that, in rigging a car with explosives in the heart of the theater district -- after receiving training and money from the Pakistani Taliban -- he was acting in accordance with the Koran, which "gives us the right to defend, and that's what I'm doing."

“I did swear, but I did not mean it,” he replied.

And I’ll bet there’s thousands more over here just like him. Good thing that he’ll be behind bars until he meets his “god”, but I personally won’t be happy until they’re all behind bars or sent back to where they come from.
There are no “moderate” muslims. By the time the rest of us wake up and understand this point, it will be too late. They are not here to enjoy the freedom of our country.

Oh marvelous, as Harry Callahan would say. How was this Rhodes Scholar of terrorists not given the death penalty? Now he can assimilate with the rest of the Islamic indoctrinators in our prisons and breed new ones from within.

Any act of terrorism whether successful or not should carry automatic death sentence, period. Especially when he effectively denounced his US citizenship under oath.

Is moderate Islam where they only partly behead you, i.e., leave your head technically attached to your body, but so it’s dangling on your shoulder?

May his new girlfriend be named Bruno! Should he, somehow, leave this planet while in prison, that is not martyrdom, it’s retribution.

He meant it. Luckily jihad and chemistry don’t conveniently mix.

“Brace yourselves,” he warned, “because the war with Muslims has just begun. “

The war began 1400 years ago.

STOP IT.
Moderate Islam?
Islam requires that its followers kill all non-believers. How is that possibly moderate?
Stop the PC nonsense. This is an evil oppressive intolerant system responsible for thousdands of deaths around the planet weekly. Stand up. Recognize.

I think radical islam beheads you. Moderate islam buries you in the ground up to your neck and then a crowd gathers around and throws stones at your head until you are dead.

The mask came off again. In it’s own way, reminiscent of O’s remark yesterday, on the occasion of the Seal falling off the podium: “All of you know who I am...but I’m sure there’s someone back there that’s really nervous right now.” No matter what the sufferers of political correctness say, or what the loathsome, fawning press say, jihad is a tenet/obligation of mohammedanism, and the latest King of Incompetence has just admitted his complicity. May he never see the light of day again.

life in prison is way too good for this POS

now if we had prison officials who could ensure that he had the proper cellmate, that would be one thing

but they’ll be protecting his worthless butt instead

Faisal Shahzad's single bomb failed to go off and he gets life in prison.

Bill Ayers' many bombs did go off and he got a professorship at the University of Illinois Chicago.

It's a strange world we live in.

America is a different country.

These “moderate” people have gone to England and made a home, where they can bomb a train station or bus, and burn innocent people without repercussions.

In America, millions of people have guns and are itching to to take them out of the closet. They purchased them for a reason.

Shahzad’s dad wasn’t the CEO of Consolidated Edison.
