Owner of A/C That Crashed Into Tampa Building Was Publically Pro-Arab!!!.
St. Pete Times ^

Posted on 01/05/2002 2:13:06 PM PST by MindBender26

Part of article from St. Pete Times after Sept 11.

"Robert C. Cooper, president of National Aviation Flight School and Aviation Rentals, stressed that the extra security cannot be done at the expense of those of Middle Eastern descent.

"I don't want to get involved in profiling," he said. "I have faith in my government. I have to work on the belief that my government has basis to allow them into the country and show them proper respect." end of article.

Cooper is head of National Aviation Holdings that owned A/C. Many Florida flight schools train Arab students. Wonder if comment was made so as not to p. off students. Wonder if Arab pilot flew A/C into building. THIS IS FR EXCLUSIVE!!!

Nope, none I went to Catholic schools and never fell under their spell.........

I didn't ask what school, just if you had a faith (if any). I'll take your answer to mean that you're either agnostic or athiest. Am I correct?

If he was a terrorist, I think he'd made more of a statement by plowing through the CentCom planning trailers at MacDill.

Local TV news media report that the pilot was 15-year old Charles Bishop. He was reported to be an honor student at East Lake High School who had been taking flying lessons for about two years. He took the plane without permission after his instructor told him to do a check of the airplane. At one point, the pilot flew over MacDill AFB. The pilot was killed. There was no fire. No other injuries reported. The wings fell to the ground and the tail of the plane is outside the 28th floor of tbe Bank of America building.

You need a gn infusion of grey matter ......asll muslims are terrorist

So, with millions of Muslims in the US, where are all the attacks?

As I've said (controversially) before, the FR "Nuke the Ragheads/Deport all the Muslims" contigent is getting awfully antsy about there not being constant massive terrorist attacks in the US since 9/11....

If I had posted on 9/12 or 10/1 or whatever a prediction that "There would be no more successful Muslim terrorist attacks in the US by the end of the year" I probably would have gotten burned to a crisp by the worst flame attacks seen in the history of FR.

There being no domestic Muslim/Arab terrorist attacks (and only one unsuccesful attack, by Reid, on an international flight HEADED to the US) in the last four months sort of doens't help the argument we are in WWIII against ALL Muslims and every Muslim is a terrorist. We've got 9/11, and one incompetent British convert to Muslim, that failed...that's it. Hence the frantic attempts to link absolutely EVERYTHING that goes wrong in the US to Muslims.

"All Irish are terrorist, they blow up buildings and kill children, they do it in the name of their religion..."

The Irish don't claim that God told them to kill people, nor do they claim Catholocism as their motive. The IRA also do not shout "Jesus is great" when they attack, nor do they qoute the King James Bible as justification for their attacks.

BTW I'm not a fan of the IRA (by any stretch of the imagination) but do you notice a difference in the MO of the Irish and the Jihadists? The IRA usually try to make as much noise as possible with as few casualties as possible, Jihadists go for as many casualties as possible. The IRA have a goal of getting the English out of Ireland (they will stop if England left) the Jihadists have a goal of converting or killing the Infidels (they will not stop until either they kill us, or we will kill them). Their is no equivalence between the IRA and the Jihadists.

More attacks would mean big trouble for them. As one Baptist Minister familiar with Islam said "Muslims are peaceful and tolerant when in the minority, yet violent and hateful when in the majority" (I don't remember exactly what his exact words were, but you get the point).

Not all Muslims are terrorists I agree. At the same time, I think it is pretty clear that there is a very large anti-Jewish, anti-Christian, anti-American, anti-Western contingent within the Muslim world at large. Even in the US, although this is a personal opinion, I believe that the majority of Muslims are unfriendly (and that's an understatement) to other religions.

... how can you believe [all] muslims (by their beliefs) aren't terrorists?

Good question, so here's another. How many people follow ANY faith or system in every particular, and to its logical conclusion?

I think the answer, for ill or good, is "very few."

Back in several hours -- not ignoring anyone's pings.
