Thanks for the links.
Whether David Lawrence was “motivated” by a serious illness, or something else, IMO, he did the right thing.
Take a look a the big picture.
I would bet way over half of the conflict in the world is because of radical islam. The Middle East, the Phillipines, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia. Russia, and it’s former satellites. Bosnia. Chechnya. Turkey falls away. Yemen is a new home. It is seemingly an endless parade.
Iran and their pet raving lunatic.
The troubles in Pakistan.
The troubles in India.
The troubles in western Europe.
NYC. Fort Hood. Portland. Oklahoma City.
The Oklahoma City bombing had ties to radical islam.
Most of the countries that support terrorism are moslem
Most acts of terrorism in the world are committed by islamites.
We are in Afghanistan to take the war on terror to one of it’s main sources. Yet it is nothing more than a political dance.
The US govt. has given us the Patriot Act, the TSA, Homeland Security. For what reason? To protect us from radical islam. To the point we are all suspects and rights and freedoms are set aside to “protect” us.
The FBI spying on AMERICANS.
Your grandma can’t cross the street without some govt. agency making sure those knitting needles in her bag aren’t loaded.
To protect us from radical islam.
The moderate moslems are ok. Right.
The problem with the moslems is they change their loyalties like my wife changes her underwear (I would’ve used myself as an example, but, well...)
The Govt. tells citizens they can’t protest islam. It might piss them off. But it is ok to piss on the Flag. On MY religious beliefs. On the Constitution.
Soldiers are trained to kill. Their mission in foreign lands is to kill the enemy.
islam is the enemy. moslems are the ENEMY.
Just think of the conflicts and controversy that would simply disappear without islam in the world.
People say “We are not like that” “That’s not what we’re here for” “We would be the savages”
Sure, yeah, RIGHT. Shut up. You have no right to protest being probed, groped, investigated, indicted, prosecuted, IMPRISONED.
Wipe islam in all its form(s) from the face of the planet and excise it’s name from the memory of mankind forever.
It is the ONLY way.
(My use of “islam and “moslem” instead of “Islam” and “Muslim” is intentional. They DO NOT deserve even that much respect)

Release of top Taliban fighters concerns U.S.
Fri Dec 3, 11:52 PM
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States has expressed its concern to the Afghan government about reports Afghan security forces have freed captured senior Taliban for payment or political motives, a U.S. State Department spokesman said on Friday.
Reuters was first to report on November 30 that the freeing of top Taliban fighters was widespread, with President Hamid Karzai and his powerful brother among those authorizing and requesting releases.

The practice is so frequent that the Taliban has organized a committee that works solely to get their fighters out of jail.

Well aware that Almighty God hath created the mind free; that all attempts to influence it by temporal punishments or burdens, or by civil incapacitations, tend only to beget habits of hypocrisy and meanness, and are a departure from the plan of the Holy Author of our religion, who being Lord both of body and mind, yet chose not to propagate it by coercions on either, as was in his Almighty power to do; that the impious presumption of legislators and rulers, civil as well as ecclesiastical, who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;...---The Virginia Act For Establishing Religious Freedom, Thomas Jefferson, 1786
