September 15, 2001 -- Boxing legend Muhammad Ali, in "anguish" over the horrific terror attacks, says that if the mass killers are fellow Muslims, they're a disgrace to his religion.

"These radicals are doing things that God is against," the 59-year-old Ali said in a statement written after the destruction of the World Trade Center.

It's easy and cheap to blame an entire religion for the actions of a few

Is it possible that the 'entire religion' is to be blamed? Maybe you should check into what all the Iatollas have been preaching! Don't know where Bush got that guy for the memorial service. He's a rare one , he'll be put on the same list as Salimin Rushie (?).

Let me get this straight; you say you're a Christian, but that you're going to hell because you're a sinner. If you really want to be a Christian, it's very easy to become one of us. Once you accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior, then you're a sinner who is bound for heaven.

Until you actually accept Christ, I would appreciate it if you stop referring to yourself as a Christian. Whatever you hope to accomplish with all this pot-stirring against Moslems, you'd better not try to use the name of Christ as a shield.

I'm not so stupid as to take your word that I should hate Moslems because you say they hate me. That's the kind of thing Goebbels used to such good effect in getting people to support the "final solution" and everything leading up to it.

Your ignorance is showing. Wiccans don't believe Satan exists, much less worship him.

You don't even know what an apologist is, you little DU infiltrator. You probably think it means someone who apologizes for something. Get out of here, boy. Nobody yanked your little brass chain anyway.

Is Ali "anguished" enough now to do his military duty that he ran out on before?????? Another draft dodger like Slick Clinton.

I haven't seen you post before but apparently you don't have anything of substance to say anyway. Slap Nuts? Did you marry your mother?

I've enjoyed many of your posts through the years, and can't believe new smearing tactics! Did someone else commandeer your computer?

Where in my posting do I defend the assassins?

You are making broadsides against Muslims as a whole. That is how the Holocaust started. If you really want to go down that path then I suggest you find another home for your views. Conservatives are not Nazis. I would suggest that you look into the Communist Party: they are a more proper home.

Unless they are Catholic and then you don't want them, right Havoc?

Don't know where you got that idea. My best friend in Elementary, Middle & High School is Catholic. Want to know his name and where he attends? I'm sure you can confirm it through the register and call him - he's listed and drives an ambulance for a living. I've defended the rights of Catholics on these threads - including a specific instance of a man's rights being infringed upon over displaying an idol of Mary in his front yard. And yes I chose that word for a reason - to show that I disagree with religious belief. I would still defend to the death that man's Constitutional rights. It seems most Catholics here by default equate disagreement on religious belief with outright hatred. I would suggest that is a defense mechanism; because it has nothing to do with the truth.

I have defended the rights of all people under the Constitution. And I love you all as my Brothers no matter what you believe. That said, if a Catholic were to take sides with the terrorists, I'd still love them; but, as an American, I'd have to say, "Fine, go join them, pick up a weapon and prepare to defend your ground because this is war and you have to go!" That goes for anyone else with similar feelings.

Now, do you have any other baseless accusations to make or are we clear? You can apologize in private if you care to. If not, I'll just consider you a disruptor and ignore you. But, your not going to make me hate you just because you might like to portray it that way. I resent the accusation and I know that Protestants and Christians alike in these forums are sick to death of being labeled Catholic Haters because they disagree with you on religious beliefs. Your name calling is harmful and dangerous. And it has no place here!

Where's Jesse Jackson? Al Sharpton? Have they no healing, unifying message for their followers?

Where's the Hollywood elite? Celebrity blood drives, charity fund raisers for victims...have they nothing to offer their country in this time of need?

Excellent observations, YaYa.

No, but you should hate what they do, from the mild 5 times a day on all 4's praying for the demise of 'infidels' to blowing up skyscrapers.

You have a good edge of humor in your posts.

BTW> Do you really think Muhammed Ali has enough functioning brain cells left to have composed this statement?

Yes, I hate the actions of the people who attacked us. As to what these people pray for, I don't claim any knowledge of that. You also need to realize that just reading something in a person's religious texts doesn't give us grounds to hate all of them and to want to kill them all, including their children.

I'm not cowed by any patriotism police either. Anybody can accuse me of whatever they like online. I'm not going to be intimidated by the mob mentality of a bunch of cowards who aren't going to be the ones to do the fighting when the time comes.

If the holy warriors on both sides get their way, we'll all be required to prove that we're not Moslems in order to be allowed to live. If it comes to that, we've lost what we are trying to defend. Y'all do what you think is best. I'll fight you if you try to catch me up in your net, though. Count on it.

How about it Cassius, are you ready to serve your country this time, or is it still inconvenent?

Yes, we'll see how angry he really is. He can return to his faith and give up his false god.

Take a look at the names of the 19 suicides bombers of the WTC. Many are from the same extended families. Muslims are so clannish. Just the way the PLO is run along clan/ family and mafia lines

In a sense, certain Muslim families/ clans have brought this war on America.

Been here two weeks and you're qualified to pass judgment on folks who've been defending the constitution since you were probably in diapers?

I'd give them the same choice they'd give us: Convert or die.

Just curious, Dar, once you've killed/converted the non-Christians, when do you start on fellow Christians who are of another denomination? Just need some advance warning, please.

Where's Jesse Jackson? Al Sharpton?

Even better, where is Louie Freeh? Where is Janet Reno?

On their watch, a network of assassians flourished.
