[in the Arena]

I'm of the same mind GD.

From the beginning I wanted to believe the fundamentalists were just a bad subset of the Islamic culture.

After:

Educating myself, studying the history and attempting to read the Koran (Quran).

Seeing act after act of aggression around the globe perpetrated in the name of Islam.

Not seeing an equitable opposition from the supposed "moderate" Islamics

Seeing supporters of Islam dance in the streets as our towers collapsed, with blood on their hands...

And now this.

It's obvious to see: To support Islam is to support that which is Evil.

These murderers had the stones to video tape this atrocity and laugh in our face and in the face of all that is good.

I am convinced there is no option

Well, brother, your trip down this path sounds very much like mine and probably a majority of Americans and Freepers.

The only disagreement I have is your comment re them having the stones to video tape this brutal murder.

Having stones is what GW has shown in his stances against these murdering fanatics, and you and I stating where we are on this issue.

Video taping a brutal murder that cowards and fellow butchers do to an innocent individual does not require stones. It just requires a mentally ill mind that needs to be wiped out!

As usual re these cowards, they killed him without warning and from behind. If they had any stones, they would have at least let him fight them even without a knife for his life. However, these slime balls are the ultimate in being cowards. So they killed an innocent man from behind without warning as he was tied up! They are worthless cowards!

These Islamic terrorists are mentally sick and evil wastes of humanity. The sooner that we kill everyone that believes in this type of brutal murder. The better off we are! The better off America, and the world will be! These slime balls are no better the Japanese rapist/mass killers and the Nazis of World War II. We killed all that we could kill and then their leaders to wipe them off the face of this earth.

This attrocity is representive of the whole of Islam.

See Pohoretz's analysis "How to Win World War IV" and find this fact:

[Shortly before the 9-11 attack] He then cited “an opinion poll in a Kuwaiti paper which showed that 69 percent of Kuwaitis, Egyptians, Syrians, Lebanese, and Palestinians think bin Laden is an Arab hero and an Islamic jihad warrior.” He also cited a poll on the station’s Internet site in which

82.7 percent saw bin Laden as a jihad fighter, 8.8 percent as a terrorist, and 8.4 percent didn’t know. . . . There is an Arab consensus from the Gulf to the [Atlantic] Ocean . . . . The people who use the Internet are the educated class—and if this is the situation with them, you can only imagine what it is among the poor, the persecuted, and those who have been stripped [of their rights]. Maybe even 99.99 percent.6

Arab concensus!
