I Urge An End To Calls For Retaliation Against "Islam"
Self | September 11, 2001 | Self

Posted on 09/11/2001 4:07:58 PM PDT by Illbay

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.

"This constitiutes about 1 percent of all Muslims, though."

Cite, please. I smell bullshit.

"We soldiers were also taught to kill the enemy, not those who happen to look like the enemy or happen to be of the same religion."

You must be one of those "new" soldiers I've heard so much about. Thank God you weren't at the yoke of the Enola Gay.

This will require math, so try real hard to focus.

XXX million represents the number of practicing Muslims worldwide.

XX thousand represents the number of Muslims who actively engage in terrorism.

Our justified outraged with terrorists does not give cover to religious bigotry.

"These are a few of the reasons why the Afghan people have not overthrown the Taliban."

Another reason is that when bin laden calls upon the afghans for new members, they are willing to take up arms to shoot women who are desperately trying to take their children to the hospital, because it is uncomely for a woman to be seen in public.

If the afghans were more than vapid, putrid, cowardly pieces of human debris, they would take bin ladin's arms, and then use them to blow his fucking head off.

Take your pathetic whining to him, Tamim, you pathetic hypocrite. Enough of my countrymen have died. It's time for his supporters to start dying.

And make no mistake about it -- any afghan who does nothing but cower before that vile monster -- or worse, accepts his arms and willingly serves in his army of rag-headed brownshirts -- is one of his staunchest supporters.

Go preach to the mullahs. You make me sick.

PS: "We're flirting with a world war between Islam and the West."

No, Tamim. We're not "flirting" with one, we're fighting one. Take it up with your boss bin ladin, he's the one that started it.

Our job is to finish it.

" So, please tell me. Why haven't they issued a Fatwa...or, for that matter, even condemned known terrorists such as bin laden and arafat? "

Oops. That kind of honesty is not very sensitive. However, we ALL KNOW THE ANSWER, DON'T WE.

"Could it be that Osama et al. are worried that their influence throughout the Islamic world is declining?"

No, he's like a spoiled child with a machinegun in a crowd of people. He thinks he can do anything he wants and get away with it. He thinks he's untouchable, he think's he's all-powerful, he thinkgs he's unstoppable.

He believes his own bullshit.

And he's forgotten what comes before destruction.

And just what the hell would you know about waging war ?

Everything the Army taught me.

Are you a soldier, were you one...

I was.

Dehumanizing the enemy is critical in this transformation process.

The enemy is the terrorists. Not all Muslims.

Maybe you should restrict yourself to Madonna concerts and peace demonstrations.

Maybe you should restrict yourself to a day hospital program.

That way you wouldn't get in the way of real Americans trying to bring peace and safety to a troubled nation.

Peace and safety aren't brought by religious discrimination.

Talk is cheap...from the sidelines !

So I see from you.

PS. I nuke the entire Moslem world to save ONE American life....its called partiotism.

Your mentality is as bad as the terrorists, and equally unAmerican.

Waving the bloody shirt, are we?

Offered without comment to provide some prospective. Interesting what you chose to see.

"I can only compare what has been going on to the way Jewish people are trashed by neo-Nazis, the hatred has been that vile."

I've read some stupid shit, but that takes the cake.

Let me know when the Jews blow up nazi office buildings, OK?

"There are 'faiths' that call for human sacrifice, I condemn them. Islam calls for the conversion BY FORCE or death of all non-believers, I condemn them."

You are making a thinly veiled jab at Satanism. How dare you insult another religion. Religion is good! All religions are worthy of the same level of respect and admiration, from the Amish to the Satanist. We must make no distinctions!

oooh, did we hurt the terrorists little feelings?

Tough S--T.

Here in the NJ we have loads of these terrorist loving low lifes.

The only reason they are acting like they are sorry, is because they are afraid of getting their asses kicked and/or losing their businesses, not because they really feel bad.

Should we get anger management counseling?

Would that make you feel better you friggin idiot?

As for myself, I will remember seeing my fellow citizens throwing themselves from the WTC and I will never forget.

I will remember seeing rescue workers and office workers buried and crushed by tons of steel, concrete and glass.

I will not be "nice" to anyone I think is against my country, in fact, I intend to be real nasty.

Your argument is valid if we were not in a state of war, BUT WE ARE IN A STATE OF WAR AND THINGS ARE DIFFERENT.

Wait a minute here, what are we supposed to do here? Give the benefit of the doubt to Islam but impose on ourselves a sort of gag order that would not give benefit of the doubt to our own speculations?

While I do agree that the muslim as an individual and Islam as a culture needs its place, the silence has been deafening concerning the lack of place allowed to Christianity and Judaism in the Islamic countries, countries which in fact make up the major part of what we call "Islam".

As a result a call to war against Islam, while a bit narrow minded because it does not include its marxist backers, has also its place in this forum. ANd guess what, in times of war, like in WWII, when you make war against a culture despite your love and wishes not to make war on this culture, you also isolate within your own territories this culture. This is war, and a war against a culture because the culture attacked us (since the territories of the culture are being used to terrorise Jews, Christians and even liberals of all people inside and outside those lands), wake up.

Just as the case of slavery was secondary to unity and national security, just as even abortion that I abhor is secondary to this unity, thus the problem of outsiding Islam from this nation today becomes secondary to making war. This is WAR

"Perhaps through Osama Bin Laden and the fundamentalists Satan himself is attempting to destroy Islam and the Middle East."

And if it wasn't for Charles Manson, the Church of Satan would be a respected member of the "faith community" today.

Clues -- they're not for everyone!

What should we call them? "Our towel-headed friends?"

"Gentle baby murderers of color?"

"Semi-crazed fanatics of the Religion That Must Not Be Named"?

====================

In WWII, we called the Japanese "JAPS". There were other terms, which--if I were to mention them--would give you a fit of the vapors and you would need a fainting couch.

Retaliation against ISLAM and ARABS is what we need--and what we are about.

Get used to it or emigrate.

"I do not agree with the author's implicit contention that we must go through Pakistan."

If they balk, we'll have to, just to teach them to submit. Since "islam" translates to "submission", they shouldn't have too much trouble grasping the concept.

I find it somewhat humorous that a "religion" that despises dogs -- Man's Best Friend (for whom the meaning of the words "loyalty" and "courage" are completely unambiguous) -- would base its practices on the rules of "dog society".

But, so be it. The big dog's in town now, and those mongrels will quickly learn to either tuck tail and run, or roll over on their backs and whine.

Either way, they won't be looking us in the eye. That's a sign of resistance to submission in the dog world.

"Why not do a joint operation with the Russians?"

Why not? In many ways, Ivan is more like us than the Euros have ever been. And culturally, he knows the meaning of courage and loyalty. I'd rather have Ivan in the foxhole with me any day than Moustafa. Any day.

"Afterwards, let them govern it as a protectorate -- just our way of apologising for aiding the Mujahadeen in the first place."

They've spilled enough blood and lost enough sons there to have earned it. Even if they sit this one out, we could do a lot worse than to simply hand it over to them as a gift when we've finished pacifying it. I think we're gonna have a long, friendly, and mutually profitable relationship with that former foe. It seems like Ivan is embracing the American Dream to a greater extent than many Americans do. Of course, we're catching up fast as of last week.

"Any threats of violence or discrimination against Arab or Muslim Americans, or Americans of South Asian descent, are not just wrong and un-American, but are unlawful and will be treated as such,"

That's fine.

How many of us will you prosecute for ceasing all commerce with the fifth column?

My prediction: none.
