Just above the text box into which I'm typing, it says, and I quote, "NO racist or violence posts."
Ladies and Gentlemen, FReepers of every race, CREED and color, I urge an immediate moratorium on the nauseatingly bigoted comments directed against "Islam," or "Muslims," or any negative reference to anyone strictly because of his or her religion. FR is no place for this trash, and I'd like to publicly call on the Esteemed Moderators to hunt down and erase all such tripe from FR.
Back off. Everyone knows the Catholics are all terrorists. You know why they don't allow Protestants to take Communion? That's when they are handing out the bombs!!!
And we're HOW MUCH BETTER than the left?
Read this entire thread. Lots of stuff here.
Not in the least. I ask for bread, and you give me sawdust.
A fatwa was pronounced against a novelist - Salman Rushdie - condemning him to death. None of these fatwas you provide do the same for arapigfit or osama bin satan. Unless and until that exists, I am driven to certain inescapable conclusions about islam.
But that wasn't my original point, was it?
But for the sake of our safety, and that of these visitors to our shores, they need to leave.
That is not, however, limited to only those who are Muslim.
I thank God you still have time to repent, Illbay, but here is the Truth:
The Time Is Growing Short. Seek the Lord while He may be found.
Tuesday, the 18th: Rosh Hashanah
Thursday, the 27th: Yom Kippur.
I agree that Satan is using the radicals. What if he is using them to destroy Islam and the Middle East?
I have many concerns about the future of our nation. We are the United States of America, land of the free and home of the brave. We are at war and will be for years. Remember what this country stands for, liberty and freedom. Unless we all stand together as one, we will never prevail.
It seems rather silly now, but how many threads have been devoted to the South and the Confederacy and the debate on whether or not one can be proud of our Southern Heritage without embracing slavery? We in the South know what it is like to be regarded as evil racists based on nothing more than where we proudly call home. Blacks know what it is like to be judged and dismissed based on skin color alone. Every segment of our society has gone through a period when they were judged on race and/or creed. How many of us were sickened when Al Gore went to the black community and accused us of wanting to go back to the days of counting blacks as 3/5 of a person?
It is time for us to put our money where our mouth is. For if we condemn any segment of our society based on their religion, we are hypocrites.
We are land of the free and home of the brave. We need to support our country and our President 200% and then some. But we also must be ever vigilant that the battle is to protect our freedom, not destroy it. I do not want to have to card an National ID card. I do not want to be required to carry papers. I do not want the airlines or any other public agency to have a database to track my movements. I do not want to have to justify why I am entering South Carolina from Georgia. And as much as it would sicken me and everyone else on this forum, if Joe Blow wants to stand on a street corner and verbally trash our country, I want him to be able to do so without fear of arrest or retribution.
That is that we cannot allow the possiblity that innocents may die to deter us.
But if innocents do die, their blood in NOT ON OUR HANDS.

Islamic Jihad leader lauds attack against US
By Margot Dudkevitch
Islamic Jihad official in Gaza, Abdullah Shami, yesterday praised the terrorist attack on the US declaring he was glad that it had happened.
Speaking to reporters on Channel Two he said "What happened in the US made us extremely happy even if we were not responsible for it."
On Friday, Jerusalem Police detained the Mufti of Jerusalem Sheikh Ikrema Sabri for questioning for three hours on suspicions of contact with a foreign agent, travel without a permit to an enemy country, and incitement.
The allegations related to inflammatory statements he made in a sermon three weeks ago where he allegedly said that the White House will turn black, with God's help, and that America, England and Israel should be destroyed and a meeting he had last week with Hizbullah leader Hassan Nisrallah.
Sabri acknowledged that he had made statements against the US in the past but stressed that he had nothing to do with last week's terrorist attack in New York and Washington.
However he told reporters "clearly, we are against the American bias in Israel's favor."
Police waited until the end of prayers at the El Aksa mosque before taking Sabri for questioning.
Police officials said they suspected Sabri of coordinating resistance activities with Nasrallah who he met last week at a conference. They warned him not to enter Jerusalem again.
