The West's Achilles' Heel (The myth of the moderate muslim)
The Omega Letter Intelligence Digest ^ | 11-12-05 | Jack Kinsella

Posted on 11/14/2005 3:54:56 PM PST by emiller

On Friday, three hotels in Jordan were subjected to near simultaneous suicide attacks. The hotels were part of Western hotel chains, but the targets were carefully selected Muslim civilians.

One of the attackers sought out a Muslim wedding party, infiltrated as one of the guests, insinuated himself into the center of the group of 300 wedding guests, and detonated his payload.

The attacks bore all the hallmarks of an al-Qaeda hit, particularly since the three attacks were coordinated as a simultaneous assault. The attacks occurred on November 9. The date, written in the British fashion used in Jordan, would therefore be 9/11. In addition, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, leader of al-Qaeda forces in Iraq, claimed responsibility for the attacks. Cut and dried, right?

Wrong. This is the Middle East.

Don't know about you, but I don't browse toilet paper before using it.

I sent away for a free Koran that I am using to make little paper mache piggy stocking stuffers for Christmas.

I have. Sounded mostly like Old Testament, but then they say we all obey the same God.

Radical Islam is an insane murder cult; moderate Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West.

"Radical Islam is an insane murder cult; moderate Islam is its Trojan Horse in the West."

Are you saying that all of Islam is the enemy?

Muslims do kill each other quite often, but one thing is for sure; No matter what we do for them or to them, we'll allways be infidels.

The only difference between moderate muslims and fanatics is that the moderates don't have the stones to act as the fanatics do.

OK, if all Muslims are the enemy...that's 1.2 billion enemies. What strategy would you employ?

A nuclear war, of course; because the only way to deal with a "death cult" is to cause the deaths of 2 billion+ people, whether they deserve it or not. Hypocrisy never looked so good.

Precisely how would you suggest we identify who is Muslim and who isn't? Are we to douce every potential immigrant with pig blood and shoot the ones who cringe? To my way of thinking, the ones determined to blow us up will be the only ones not running away screaming from that. Muslims aren't just brown people, and not all brown people are Muslims. Blacks, asians, whites, hispanics, and every other ethnic group you can list has its share of Muslims. This, of course, completely ignores the Orwellian hellhole of a police state you'd have to create to "kick out the ones here"

OK. So what happens when al-Qaeda is smarter than you are, and starts infiltrating in Muslims who pretend to be Christians, or recruiting American citizens who are Muslim?

I heard a great joke this weekend.

A man is walking down the street in Belfast when someone sticks a gun in his back.

"Awright, me lad...be you a Catholic or a Protestant?"

The victim thinks fast and says, "I'm Jewish."

The attacker replies, "Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! I must be the luckiest Muslim in Belfast!"

By its own self-definition all of Islam is the enemy.

The Spanish answer to that in the 1400s was the Spanish Inquisition.

Yes I have, during eight months deployment in Uzbekistan among a people not known to be militant Muslims.

And I didn't like what I read. This was an official approved English-language Koran.

Next question?

I have read about a quarter of it, IMHO it seems to be a contrived document that perverts the OT and NT into what a megalomaniac would want god to say about his actions.
