Understanding Islam... my (vanity) response to Karen Fragala (no gag alert)

I understand that those who murdered 6000 civilians, including women and children, did so with the belief that Islam was being promoted by the act.

I understand that millions of Muslims celebrated... for days... when they heard that some Muslim had caused America great pain.

I understand that the Koran advocates lying, raping, and killing those who are not of the proper faith.

I understand that there are Muslim gang rapes of white girls (13-18 years old) in France, Denmark, Australia, and Norway... because they are 'unclean', this is also acceptable in Allah's eyes.

I was encouraged by two FReepers to post this reply as a thread... I hope it's worth the bandwidth.

There is a lot more to Islam!

The original article has more lies packed in it than Das Kapital.

Thanks. I added a small correction here and a tweak there... but mostly a copy of a quick rant. =^)

Would this be the appropriate place to add the list of Muslim attacks on America since 1993 (hmmm, what happened in 1992 to encourage this?):

• 1993, WTC first try (spring training?), 6 killed, 53 hospitalized
• 1995, Saudi Arabia US military barracks bombed, 6 killed
• 1996, Khobar Towers bombed, 19 dead, 200 injured
• 1998, two US embassies, in Kenya and Tanzania, were bombed, 224 killed
• 2000, the US Navy super-cruiser USS Cole was bombed, killing 17 sailors

  and don't forget

• 1983, Saudi barracks in Lebanon bombed, 241 killed

all by these same Muslims that we feel some great need to understand. What, exactly, do they understand, if not killing, maiming, hurting, hating, breeding hatred, oppressing, and bragging about it? It certainly doesn't appear to be Peace, or denouncing violence perpetrated by others of the same faith.

Please include Nov 22, 1979 - Attack on US embassy in Pakistan.

The 444-day hostage-taking in Iran...

Wow! This is the best and the shortest transcript of Koran on the Web I've ever seen! Keep this tread going so Americans can learn about this peaceful "religion".

[Teacher317]

and Somalia in '93, in Israel since the day the nation was formed, in Indian Kashmir, in Chechnya, in the Phillipines, in Afghanistan, in Pakistan, in Indonesia's persecution of Christians, in the Sudan where the Muslim government still allows slavery to flourish... any more we're missing from the last quarter century?

Outstanding post! Well worth the bandwidth. Just forwarded it to several friends and family. Thanks.

Great post. Careful with that stuff around the kids you teach though. May not be PC enough for the principal

*grin* Not a problem for me anymore... this link on the Pledge of Allegiance and a national Pledge drive against guns should provide some details about my current faculty position.
