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.

Funny, from observations on other post, I have always felt you were on the opposite side of the fence when it came to defending Jews.

When we want self-righteous clap-trap we'll head over to the Communist Party of the USA site or a Demidog thread quoting Alexander Cockburn.
After I see the poor, abused "Muslim-Americans" demanding Osama Bin Laden's head on a spike and see them lined up to enlist in our military, maybe I'll listen to your pathetic mewling.
Also, please post a link to actual footage of abuse. After hearing and watching months of lying muslim KLA bullshit, I know how well they manipulate willing fools.

Which is why I feel sorry for fools like this guy Illbay. 5000 dead and an unknown number of Islamic sleepers waiting to swing into action, and he's lecturing his countrymen on "racism." They are confusing racism with tribalism. The muslim tribe struck the US Western tribe, and we're going to hit the bastards back harder than they hit us. Tough poopies if anyone doesn't like it.

All in all, this is a wonderful litmus test for Freepers. I've learned a lot about how thin the veneer of Constitutionalism is around here when the mob gets stirred up.

The problem of course is that the Islamic establishment has not condemned this atrocity except in a measured way, and haltingly. Thus the vitrol of even some normally more composed posters. Unfortunately, American Muslims condeming all of this have not received much TV play. The religion in general does have a problem with tolerating "the other." Some Christians have that problem too, but it is not nearly so pervasive from that quarter, or suffused with nearly as much pyschological energy.
But I think this event will have something in the nature of a plate tectonic effect in the Islamic world. I think it will cause reflection. That is a good thing. But it will be too little too late, to persuade many of the folks on the street that it is anyting other than book balancing time. But the administration knows better, and will act accordingly, in a measured and reasoned way. In the meantime, to try to slow the venting is like trying to break up a hurricance by placing your body against the force of the wind. It simply won't have any measurable effect.

Scarey, huh?

Perhaps you have not heard of the Muslims cheering at Alabama A&M, two Muslim doctors beingn taken away for cheering in Cleveland, or the Muslim businesses in my friend's town in Missouri refusing to fly the American flag. Of course you haven't. The media is refusing to show that many Muslims are openly supporting the terrorists.
To: cicero's_son
pinging you Watching a bunch of pseudo intellectuals and bleeding hearts try to defend the indefensible is soooo much fun.
They are making fools of themselves on every thread.
To: Kevin Curry
Stop looking for "boogermen" (not my term) under the bed. Should I be looking for "Ay-rabs" instead?
To: Illbay
The wisdom of your words will be shown in the coming months as muslims die besides us.
Everyone's kinda excited right now, you know.

Agreed. This constitiutes about 1 percent of all Muslims, though. While it is true that certainly not all Muslims favor or refuse to denounce the jihadists, it is NO WAY anywhere near 1% in support. It is a LOT more.
A challenge to Muslim leaders: announce that bin Laden is an infidel, and renounce the death penalty for apostacy.

..In the weeks ahead we will be accused of bigotry and racial profiling No doubt. But we must stand firm and answer these detractors with facts and reasoned arguments.
Allowing this deranged political correctness go unanswered is the path to suicide.

Agreed. This constitiutes about 1 percent of all Muslims, though. OK let's keep it simple.
Give the Muslims one week to deliver 1% of their total population in body bags.
No question, they are in the best position to identify the troublemakers among them, right?
When that is done, no wup ass.
Of course, that assumes that there will be no terrorism in the future.
Sound fair enough?
To: B Knotts
Loyalty tests next? I think little of anyone who doesn't denounce this.
I am not prepared to criminalize their thoughts, thought.

Some of the nations of the middle east are also threatened by these groups not just christian and jewsish nations. They are also fighting the russians and the chinese as well. This is larger then one mastermind. We need to cut off the head of the beast and chop up his body then give it to janet reno to eat.
