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.

hmmmmmmmm, anyways, Islam is Jihad, Ali. If you don't believe in Jihad and call yourself "muslim" then you're the one twisting the "teaching of islam".

How wonderful this sick, old fighter is speaking out. His message will be heard, heeded, and appreciated by his fans.

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?

Barbra Streisand, Ben Afleck, Steven Spielberg? Hollywood political activists... where are you?

'His message will be heard, heeded, and appreciated by his fans.'

Who cares about his 'fans' when we're getting a nuke-threat alert? Who's gonna 'heed' anything after we've all been irradiated? It's too late, people are dead, our people. With a name like Muhogwash Ali it's clear he has succumbed to Satan, so who gives a sh*t; him and Cat Stevens can go rot IMHO.

Thanks for that perspective, which coincides with a thought I've had since Tuesday. During the campaign and since Inaugaration, President Bush promised a new tone in Washington. Civility, working together across party lines to solve America's problems. He's been above the ugliness of democrats in congress, and for months, I have silently cringed as President Bush was true to his promise. He turned the other cheek to insulting innuendo from political opponents. He ignored personal slights from the mainstream media elite, he remained gracious, and above responding in kind when congressional democrats tried to sabotage his programs and ridicule his philosophy.

Thank God President Bush is a bigger man than me. If he had spent the last 9 months, (as I would have done), getting payback, our government would not have been ready to meet this challenge.

No one could possibly mock the the intellect and wisdom of President Bush. The bipartisan goals he set for his administration will make victory possible.

hmmmmmm....Jihad is not Islam. It's the fight against the people who will eventually want to destroy Islam. Christianity has the same belief (AntiChrist).

We should not tolerate racial and ethnic hatred, race baiting rhetoric, and religious discrimination. Whether it comes from democrats, or from those on our own side, it's evil ugliness will rip our country apart.

Girlfriend, did you see Gary Condit at the memorial service yesterday? How obvious it seemed to me, that he was using that solemn occasion as his 'coming out of hiding' party.

You are correct, Islam is not Jihad. Jihad IS Allah however, and that is why they say 'God is Great' when they blow up your kids. To me, Allah is Satan because he preaches war and practices murder. I would say that Wiccans believe in Allah too because they also worship Satan, Islam is just a worship method like Wicca is.

PC attitudes like yours got our people bombed at the WTC. You should think about it when they have the funerals. You may not hate Muslims, but 'verily' if you're an American they already hate you. Funny how you talk about peace and love to a character called AnnArchy(chaos) lol.

I, too, was cringing at his "Niceness" in dealing with the pit vipers in the Democrat Party. He is a good and decent man, and will have the respet of good and decent people.

The other night he said "I love people, but I have a job to do"....I thought THAT was ELOQUENT!! The service yesterday and his speech was AWESOME. Thank you God for sending us a righteous man for these times.

good morning AppyPappy. One benefit of FreeRepublic, is that it causes us to seek more information.

"ji*had (noun)
[Arabic jihad]
First appeared 1869
1 : a holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty
2 : a crusade for a principle or belief"

Information, further clarification, and I always enjoy reading your replies.

Allah is another name for God. That's why the Muslims believe in Adam and Eve and Noah. And Islam doesn't teach blowing up kids any more than Christianity tells people to own slaves. People can twist religious teachings to convince gullible people to do anything. One of my neighbors was Palestinian. And he believed in violence against Israel and anyone who supports it. And he was a Christian.

The Koran is available online. Read it. It's not that long. Decide for yourself.

I read it and I was sickened. It says much worse things to do to the Infidel, who is an animal to musli. If all Americans knew about the time of war time of peace deal they proclaim, we'd all be armed to the teeth and ripping the Kaaba down pebble by pebble. Thanks for helping to spread the word: Islam is worse than Nazism (just look at poor Israel). The Wolrd Trade Center Bombing Only punctuates your literary point, too bad our countrymen had to die to prove it. When Osama is tied to a Mosque and blown to bits, I'll cry 'God is Great' with the rest of 'em.

Exactly. Moslems have been slaughtering Christians and Jews since inception. Those who proclaim that allah is just another name for G_d should consider another possibility - Satan need not always show up with horns and a pitchfork. He can also appear as an angel of light. And deceive many.

What a horrific thing to say to someone. You are as ignorant as Falwell and Robertson.

People 'gifted' with a spirit of deviciveness can't deal with strong unity. They're all in hiding.
