Expresses my sentiments better than me. I'm sure you'll let me know what you think of it. IT touches many points we were discussing on the Tennessee mosque thread.

ISLAM = TERRORISM

[Senator Pardek]

Great post. As an Irish-American (Gawd,I hate that term), I have no qualms in calling the IRA savages. Why won't Muslim-Americans (Gawd, I hate that term) do the same in respect to those who wish to destroy this nation?

[KirklandJunction]

Mr. Farber has no room in his heart, or his soul, for American Muslims who abhor, deride, denounce and want nothing to do with terrorists, of any kind. And who have said so loudly and publically and then must tolerate oafs who say "I didn't hear YOU!"

As an American Muslim, when I read of a skyjacker drinking in a Florida topless bar, I said out loud "that is No True Muslim!" "An imposter trying to hide behind something he doesn't follow!"

But Mr. Farber got his name in print, probably a fee for writing his article, and of course I believe in free speech. That's why I live here.

EXCELLENT ARTICLE - thanks for posting. It should be printed in every damn paper in America!! I hope TN residents don't allow them to build that "temple of evil".

When I die and go to allah, I will spit in his eye and tell him to send me to hell cos I wanna join the USMC

[ChadGore]

Their brother Osma blows up New York and they tell me to read their book ??

1)I refuse to have my literary excursions dictated to me by the likes of Osama Bin Laden.

2)I refuse to have my spiritual pursuits dictated to me by the likes of Osama Bin Laden.

3)I refuse to have my world view dictated to me by the likes of Osama Bin Laden.

The same goes for the countless Osama-loving-lemmings who forward the same causes around the globe.

As an American Muslim, when I read of a skyjacker drinking in a Florida topless bar, I said out loud "that is No True Muslim!" "An imposter trying to hide behind something he doesn't follow!"

So where are the true muslims? Every time a muslim explodes his worthless self in an Israeli bus, "moderate" muslims declare him a "non-muslim" even as their obituaries praise them for being "martyrs". By condeming them, I am sure many muslims would declare YOU "an impostor trying to hide behind something you don't follow"

Mohammad Attah, the Skyjacker you refer to was a highly educated man who studied at western universites and spoke several languages. He was a serious islamic scholar. Mohammad Attah dedicated his life to Islam. He memorized the Koran. All his study and education led him to conclude that Allah desired him to kill thousands of Americans.

Having a drink is a moslem sin which in his mind, "allah" would forgive because of his terrorist act against America.

Or take the case of John Walker Lindh. Heres a guy from a completely different background who tries his best to find the heart of islam. His journey led him directly to osama bin laden and a loaded machine gun.

From what I see, your "allah" is a pathetic angry little fictional god.

Re: "that is No True Muslim!"

You can use many words to discribe these 19 people. Among them "Muslim".

[Drew68]

Why won't Muslim-Americans (Gawd, I hate that term) do the same in respect to those who wish to destroy this nation?

Because they are in solidarity with their mohommedan "brethren" who wish to destroy the American way of life and replace it with an Islamic theocracy.

This is precisely why there is no room in this country for these barbaric, uncivillized mohommedans. They need to be interned and/or deported immediately.

I'm dead serious.

Or possibly a Jew in disguise.......you know how those Jews are behind everything /sarcasm

[swarthyguy]

"that is No True Muslim!" That's a matter for the clerics and the adherents to decide. What's good enough for me is that the jihadis claim the hijackers were true, pure muslims.

It's also true that the voices of those preaching hate, violence and calling for the destruction of America far outweigh those of people like you. It's not for us unbelievers to decide who's a true one or not. Those who claim they are, are.

[Vigilanteman]

All Muslims are not bloodthirsty suicidal wackos. The Turks, for instance, have stood by us on this and deserve our thanks and praise.

Unfortunately, a vast majority of bloodthirsty suicidal wackos call themselves Muslims.

[July 4th]

Islam OUT NOW.

[swarthyguy]

Agreed. Let's keep the focus on American Muslims primarily those from the arabcountries and the subcontinent. 6-7 ethnic groupings of muslims around the world do exist; arabs, turks, iranians, afghan and the stans, southasia, indo-malay and those here in the US and europe.

'Muslims' does paint with a wide brush, but the jihadis seem most prevalent in the arab and pakistani communities in the USA, and to a lesser extent, those from india.

[PoppingSmoke]

Nice commentary. So what do you really know about the true Islam and those who practice it? For someone who has been writing since the 50's it seems like not much. Yeah there are bad guys and there are good guys. Most of which are good guys. Maybe you should start by asking some of those good guys how they feel? Why they are not marching? Before you start writing in the first place.

[Pining_4_TX]

Islam is often referred to as one of the world's great religions. It seems that designation is given if (a)the religion has been around for a long time, and (b)it has large numbers of adherents. By this standard, astrology and wishful thinking could be considered among the world's great religions.

If Islam had originated about 10 years ago as a small group outside of , oh let's say Waco, TX, the reaction to it would be quite different. If they were in their compound forcing women to wear veils, chopping off the hands of thieves and the heads of adulterers, Janet Reno would have sent in the tanks pronto. However, since there are millions of Muslims worldwide, this religion somehow commands great respect (or is it just fear?) among educated people who ought to know better.

Let’s see, Muslims highjack four US jet airplanes, and you don’t question if they are true Muslims.

Muslims use box cutters to slit the throats of passengers and flight crew and you don’t question if they are true Muslims

Muslims slam airplanes into buildings and kill 3,000 innocent people and you don’t ask if they are true Muslims.

But:”As an American Muslim, when I read of a skyjacker drinking in a Florida topless bar, I said out loud "that is No True Muslim!" "An imposter trying to hide behind something he doesn't follow!"

I understand. You are a true Muslim. What I think of you and your belief is not printable.

Mohammed is burning in Hell.
