The religion of peace? These "people" are sick!

[EternalVigilance]

It is hard for the normal human heart and mind, still in possession of sanity, to grasp how any human being, or group of human beings, could be so debased and hardhearted.

But these people have shown us the truth. When they slit the throats of pilots and drove planes into office buildings, they removed any illusions that they were anything less than rabid animals who can only be put down to protect civilization.

[Mo1]

And these are the people that the likes of Ramsey Clark say should have their rights protected?

[FairOpinion]

Someone should show the tape to arcy Kaptur and Patty Murray and ask them if they still think that Al Qaeda is about the same as our Founding Fathers, and still think we should "understand" the terrorists.

And show the tape to all the bleeding hearts who worry that we may torture the terrorists.

They have no concept of the pure evil of these people. This is why Bush used the word "evil". There is no other description.

[The Raven]

Practicing taking a SCHOOL? What's to practice? They're unarmed.

[anniegetyourgun]

Don't miss this. I wonder how many liberal teachers and parents might feel about this. If something like this occurs (God forbid), do you suppose they'll be on TV telling everyone that we just need to understand why they hate us?

[Savage Beast]

"The camera then zooms in on a terrorist, who stomps on a child."

These devil-worshippers will receive no mercy from the "god" they serve so well. Satan will fry them in the hottest depths of hell as he laughs at their stupidity.

"Evil is the ultimate stupidity." These satanists personify both.

[FirstTomato]

This is so utterly horrific. But this kind of evil is not surprising coming from the people who would fly aircraft into office towers.

What is truly more dangerous, imho, is the evil of people in America who appear to be normal human beings, but are frightening in the extent of their anti-Americanism and lack of support for our country in this time of World War III. One expects evil from one's enemies, but its the injury from friends and neighbors which hurts to the core, and is the more evil, because it lurks under a cloak of respectability.

The terrorists are going to carry out the most shocking, brutal and unthinkable attacks they can because these groups are led by sociopathic/psychopathic animals who thrive and are energized by power and violence. Their forms of government have failed their people, but the people do not know of that failure because most of them are not aware of any other way of life. It has been said that that most of them live in the 7th Century. They cover their inhuman acts with illogical interpretations of Islam which brings real and psychological fear into their people. Many of their leaders seems to be young, in their 20s and 30s. Their own people do not dare oppose even the smallest thought or action because punishment would be severe, including murder. Those who have experienced life in the West, I think are also motivated by envy. Their oppressive governments have failed and our governments of freedom have thrived. If any of us think that nations like France are repulsed by the thought that school children might be the targets of these murderers, think again. I believe France is calculating that the entire Arab world will eventually fall at its feet, giving it the benefit of oil money and influence and through the fear of the brutality of the terrorists, repression and control of the US and its allies will take place. It is prostitution at its best, folks. And, Korea..This entire situation reminds me of a pack of dogs. When the mean ones attack, those thought to be good will follow if there is the prospect of reward involved. This is the most serious situation of my lifetime and it is definitely a time for all Americans to think of one thing..Protecting Americans.

[MadIvan]

This shows the Al Qaeda mindset: attack only those who are weaker than you, fight those who cannot fight back, spill blood of those who can barely resist. These are not men, they are the worst sort of cowards imaginable.

Attention, teachers in the State of Maine..............you know, those of you who were humiliating little kids in your classes because their fathers are in the military.

Take heed, you worthless scum. THIS is what those fathers are protecting YOU from. The kids in your care deserve it even if you don't.

[Alouette]

al Qaeda thugs practiced storming a school, shooting children and taking hostages

Did they also have live footage of the 1974 Ma'alot school massacre?

[TADSLOS]

Why this piece of news about Al Qaeda should shock anyone is beyond me. If they are willing and able to take passenger planes by force with something as simple as a boxcutter, slit people's throats, then fly the planes into skyscrapers killing thousands, why would anyone not expect them to do something as easy as slaughtering school kids. The shock and pyschological effect is what they are after as much as the act of killing itself. They're terrorists. They terrorize. They need to be wiped off the face of the planet, one by one or en masse.

[kms61]

This sounds like a natural progression for Al Qaeda, and I frankly wonder why it hasn't happened before.

That said, this Idema fellow is considered to be, if not an outright fraud, at the very least a liar and opportunist, by the Special Forces community. I'd be very wary of taking anything he says at face value.

[aeronca]

Segments of the videotapes viewed by The Post...

When do the PEOPLE of America get to see these video tapes?

[LurkedLongEnough]

Connecticut Statutes: Sec. 53a-217b Possession of a weapon on school grounds: Class D felony.

But.. but... if those terrorist carry guns onto school property, they will be committing a felony and lose their carry permits... so, they won't dare try it. </naiviety>

[oregon conservative]

Islam is the enemy, all of it!!! Their holy book says to kill the infidel if he won't completely convert. That is ANYONE who isn't islamic. Our borders should be closed to all islamics(profile) and all people who are islamic(again the dreaded profile) should be deported. The ones who seem to live here in peace are just cover for those who will plot our deaths. If we're the great satan why are they here? It's to eventually become strong enough to take over our country just like they are doing all over Africa and Asia and the Pacific Islands. A lot of the middle east used to be Christian but not now. Look what islam does to the Israelis. This religion of peace mantra is appeasement, islam has to be destroyed or taught a horrendous lesson. If something isn't done about this hate religion we will eventually lose our way of life(and lives) and thats what we are facing, like it or not. Flame away.

[A_perfect_lady]

Our chldren are already being taught to sympathize with the terrorists. In high schools across America, kids are reading Robert Courmier's AFTER THE FIRST DEATH. It's about a group of terrorists (it never says, but it seems obvious by their names, their looks, and the remarks they make, that they are Palestinians).

This group of terrorists takes a school bus full of grade-schoolers hostage. The American general trying to negotiate their release is portrayed as morally reprehensible, the youngest terrorist is portrayed as vulnerable and rather pitiable, and the lead terrorist has a very compelling personality.

Booktalks written by high school students have already appeared on the line indicating that the lead terrorist is a "favorite" character. I sat and watched a high school teacher lead children to the conclusion that the American general and the lead terrorist were simply two sides of the same coin.

When the terrorists take the schools, the students will not even have the moral fortitude to hate their own killers.

[MizSterious]

What a horrid thing to have to read on a Sunday morning. If I had any doubts as to who their "religion" might be, it's settled now. Cloven hooves...

[George W. Bush]

U.S. government needs to release these tapes so the soccer-moms, here and abroad, can see just what these monsters really are.
