An insidious, monstrous criminal atrocity has been committed against our country. There's now little doubt that this barbaric act was committed by fanatical Muslims as part of a jihad against the 'Great Satan' America. In the aftermath, we are treated to platitudinous and largely unnecessary calls for Americans to exercise 'restraint' and not take out our anger against other Americans who happen to be of the same religious extraction as the maniacs who perpetrated this act. These calls for restraint could be made unnecessary if American Muslims would simply do the following...
Convene a very public, nationally televised 'town hall' meeting of Muslim clerics and high-ranking officials with in their communities around the country. Within this public forum, allow presenter after presenter to state unequivocably that they:
1. Decry the dastardly attack on the World Trade Centers in no uncertain terms.
2. Declare to be false and pernicious the notion that a murderous, suicidal death leads one's soul to heaven. State in no uncertain terms that this teaching is contrary to true Islam.
3. Renounce the use of terroist violence to achieve political ends, and call for ALL foreign governments to do the same.
4. State publicly that they support the right of the United States to wage war against those nations and groups which harbor and abet terrorism whether they be Muslim or otherwise.
5. Put forth a dire warning to the terrorist cells that may be in their midst that Muslim-Americans will not think twice about turning these perfidious scoundrels over to the US government.
6. Mention that any public celebration of these attacks by Muslim-Americans is a deplorable act which harms not only the Muslim community, but America as a whole.
What I don't want to hear in relation to this is one single word about:
1. How this would never have happened if the US didn't support Israel.
2. How our 'imperialist' oppression of Arab nations brought on this attack.
3. Any kind of justification for terrorist barbarism.
Individual statements along these lines have surfaced here and there, but until the Muslim community as a whole does this in a very public fashion, I will have to view them with some suspicion. The mere fact that we haven't seen more of these kinds of statements indicates to me (and I hope I'm wrong on this) that there is decent amount of clandestine approval of the attack within the Muslim-American community...
Then we can begin background checks on those you call "American Muslims". At least one of those "American Muslims" was a naturalized citizen and led a team of hijackers.

Aha! Now I understand. They couldn't help it, they were driven insane by our tax dollars. Thanks.
Might be for him, but I would just as soon see the pack-up and leave. Wouldn't have to look over my shoulder for the rest of my life. No oath, no growth.
I am sick to death of these people and other "Blame America First" leftist traitors trying to justify this most horrible attack and slaughter of innocent people by the thousands. Anyone with a mind twisted enough to justify cutting the throats of flight attendants, murder of the pilots and ramming a jet full of people and fuel into a huge building thereby killing thousands, is a dangerous, unstable, potential mass murderer!
There is no reason, NONE, that could justify such a horrible act. If ANY religion practices sick, murderous acts such as these, the adherents should be hunted down and killed like the rabid dogs they are! These are crimes against humanity, no different than Hitler killing the Jewish people in the ovens of Nazi Germany.
The Islamic nations and people who justify these criminal acts should be dealt with in the same way this world dealt with the Nazi's and Imperial Japan. God help this world if these people ever gain sway over the entire world. It would be living hell on Earth, no doubt about that.
This Must Be Done! Denounce Terrorism
Is it that you can't figure out how to identify the enemy within our boarders or is it that you just don't want to be bothered? It's easier to call people names than take care of business?
Doesn't take much to convince you to stop dealing with the problem at hand. It does not matter how many Muslims are wrongfully killed by idiots. The REALITY here is that there is a very strong infrastructure in THIS country that supports terrorist activity. Gotta deal with it.
- Al-Qaeda physically and/or ideologically penetrates international and domestic Islamic NGOs throughout the world. Thus the Al-Qaeda infrastructure is inseparably enmeshed with the religious,-social and economic fabric of Muslim communities worldwide. Host countries such as the UK, Canada, Australia, and even the USA, are hesitant to investigate Islamic charities, including foreign charities.
Get this, you arrogant prick: Noone gives a rat's ass about your precious Pallies anymore. Their delusion dreams for some mythical Palestinian State went up in smoke right along with the WTC.
Oh, and this country will continue to support Israel against the barbarians that surround them. If you have a problem with that...well, I really, really hope you do have a problem with it.
. Oh, and by the way, your little "this will happen again" aside made me just a might uncomfortable. It's good to know the feds are out paying special attention to comments like that.
Joe McCarthy was destroyed, not because he was wrong, but because he was right.
Anything short of actual accomplishments (not statements) in this area is irrelevant and just a smokescreen to hide their implicit support for the terrorist vermin and their atrocities.
