If you just said "bomb the Hell out of them", I'm with you 100%.

My dear brother and sister FReepers,

At this, of all times in my lifetime, I would like nothing more than to be able to read these threads and reply to them.  I have much I would like to say.

BUT, I cannot!

Why?

Because I am trying hard to raise the finances needed to keep FreeRepublic up and running so that we can continue to share valuable information and respond to it.

I beg you, if you have not yet donated to FreeRepublic this quarter,  do so now!

If you have no money, please come and bump the Fundraiser Thread.

I would really like to reach our goal quickly so that I and the rest of the dedicated FReepers who are working the Fundraiser Threads can participate in what is undeniably the most important time in FreeRepublic's history.

I understand Jewish World Review refused to run this article on their site. Can anyone say why?

[Media2Powerful]

It was probably the part about turning them all into Christians.

I am a little miffed at JWR for running columnists that are very liberal anyway. I may have to read my favorite columnists elsewhere from now on. No more contributions from me either. They are good people doing good work but I am not behind them quite as much as I used to be.

Ann's very good friend was murdered. She had a right to say anything she wanted to.

I think Ann's call for us to make them all Christians was the reason. It is Jewish World Review. Ann was obviously overwrought. The thought of converting all those Muslims just makes me tired.

I believe there are some better options than the “kill them all” response:

That is exactly the response of the people in my area. Don't get in the way or you will be mowed down.

BUMP

My guess is it would have something to do with Ann's call to forcibly convert all Muslims to Christianity. Its a quick step from that to converting the Jews. I understand their reluctance.

Ann's very good friend was murdered. She had a right to say anything she wanted to.

I heard her on KSFO's Brian Wilson show the day before that piece was released. I was flabbergasted when she said that in addition to "invad[ing] their country and kill[ing] their leaders," she said the US should "convert them to Christianity," as if that was the objective or end result of victorious American force in the past.

Ann had a right to say what she wanted regardless of whether she had a friend who died in the attack. That doesn't mean that unwise, inflammatory, and easily misinterpreted statements shouldn't be recognized for what they are.

I don't.

Given the very weak (if at all) interest in proselytizing among Jews (whose Jewish identity passes through the mother, if I'm not mistaken)... you would think they would be delighted if Christianity would convert Islam to the Judeo-Christian sensibility and thereby disabuse many of the mistruths which have allowed militant atheists to pretend they are "radical Islamic fundamentalists" when -- in fact -- they've nothing to do with faithful Muslims.

It's an interesting question, really.

[Askel5]

A thoughtful reply. I have a very interesting piece on evil in which you may be interested. Will try to post later.

Regards.

Ann's got it right in pinning a bulls-eye on the Muslim problem. A 25 megaton city buster each on Mecca and Medina, and a big panel truck full of munitions run into the middle of the Al Asqa Mosque in Jerusalem. After this is done, we can talk to the Muslims again about how much more they want to fight us. If they continue to be recalcitrant, we can then systematically start taking out their major cities. There won't be much left after too long.

[Andrew Byler]

Ann is correctly directing our steps towards a new Crusade. God will bless our arms, as he did at Tours and Lepanto and Vienna against the fanatics, if our aim is to destroy their false religion and bring them to the Truth. He will see to it that we are destroyed, however, if our motives are simply worldly.

Remember October 7, 1571! Feast of Our Lady of Victory!

[Askel5]

Somehow I doubt very seriously that a totally decadent, materialistic U.S. who aborts 1.2 million of its own each year, is eradicating Christianity (ONLY) from the public square and who has just confirmed with Federal Funding that all men ARE NOT created equal is in any position to pretend it's Christian or equal to converting others to whatever perverted "Christian" ethic is supposedly lives by.

[Askel5]

Are you some kind of disruptor or what?

You need to think long and hard about why so many of the Crusaders (particularly those sent to Constantinople) were excommunicated.

I was personally surprised at her column. But, I have total faith in her character and intentions and long standing admiration of her. It is my believe that one should not dump on ones friends just because they were at an emotional low point and maybe said some things they wouldn't have otherwise said. That goes for Ann, Falwell, or anyone else whom I consider an ally. Certainly the lefties have munched a lot of feet from time to time. Even they deserve a break at this moment.

This kind of says it all for me,

The Qur'an (3:169) says "count not those who are slain in the way of God as dead; nay, they are living, with the lord they have provision."
