PROTEST MARCH IN CHICAGO

AP | 9/13

[oxi-nato]

In the Chicago suburb of Bridgeview, Ill., about 300 marchers _ some waving American flags and shouting "USA! USA!" -- tried to march on a mosque before they were turned back by police. Three demonstrators were arrested, police said. No injuries; demonstrators were kept blocks from the closed Muslim worship place.

Don't.

Just...don't.

One of the finest Americans I know is Iranian by birth. The Arab-Americans _are_ our nisei of this war. Are there terrorists hiding in their midst? Yes. Should resident aliens of countries we are at war with be deported? Yes. (Unless they are under death threat from that country.) Should we attack a religion because we disagree with it? No. That's not America.

Let us go forward in justice and hard-favored wrath, against our enemies without. Destroy the sponsoring states. Prove once and for all that there is no fineness, no justice, no success in terrorism. This will be a long, brutal and bloody war. But we must face it as _Americans_. All of us.

Just...don't.

What are you talking about?

I am sorry if my postings on the results of leadership and teachings of the gelded socialist sociologists have pushed you over the edge.
Time to take some prozac and stop being a seditious apologist for terrorists.
You will be assimilated and resistance is futile, and I will still echo Cato.

The islamic nations must go the way of Troy, Carthage, and Azteca.

Muslims or Buddhits, or any other religion have nothing to do with eighteen psycopaths who committed an unspeakable act or terror. In New York, the dead were Muslim, Jewish, Roman Catholic and all groups and ranges of people. Rallying and igniting hatred aginst any group of people, in my opinion, is not much different from what the terrorists did. I am repeating to you - we are not like them. We are not going to murder innocent people. We find the guilty bastards and eliminate them. That is the difference between us and them, and how glad I am the difference exists. It worries me that you might not understand. America is a country of government and law, not impulse. I deeply believe that justice will be done. Be patient, just wait.

[CommiesOut]

but trying to attack innocent Muslims is the most stupid concept I have ever heard.

I disagree. It's a logical, predicted by many, next step of the US neo-commie/nazis (commie, nazi...same thing) of the elaborate process of destroing America and the rest of the world.

It seems to me that President Bush has aged a lot during the past couple days of this madness. I knew that he won't make any mistakes, and he will punish the guilty, not like the moron clinton, bombing aspirin factories for show. My friend from Australia sent me a letter - clinton is all over Australian TV. The pimp and the superstar, she said, playing like he is still the president in charge. She asked if we could take him back now, she cannot stand that moron on Australian TV.

So the problems in Ireland, Central America, South america, Philipines, Central & West Africa are because of Islam?

Actually, the problems in the Phillipines and in West Africa (Nigeria, Mauritania) involve Islam, yes.

But nobody said all the trouble in the world is because of Islam. On the other hand, it's unusual to find a concentration of Moslems where there isn't trouble.

• In Nigeria there are riots between Moslims and Christians.
• There's an ongoing war in Morocco/Mauritania
• Algeria is a den of Moslem extremists, who've killed thousands in the last few years.
• Tunisia is one of the rare exceptions
• Libya: Gaddafi. Enough said.
• Egypt: ongoing violent struggles between an authoriatian governemtn and Moslem extremists.
• Yemen: USS Cole
• Saudi Arabia: trying flying there with a Bible or a bottle of whisky.
• Gulf states; have had intermittent trouble with extremists
• Jordan: cosy with Iraq during the gulf war
• Iraq: no comment necessary
• Iran: ditto
• Syria is one big terrorist training camp.
• Afghanistan; let's not speak ill of the soon-to-be dead.
• Pakistan: ongoing war in North/Kashmir
• Indonesia: brutal treatment of non-Moslem minorities. Aceh province wants to introduce the Sharia.
• Philippines: Moslem guerrillas

And so on, and so on. Bosnia. Kosovo. Azerbaijan. Chechneya. How many do you need? There are scores of states with significant Moslem populations. Can you name three where there hasn't been at least significant civil disorder in the last 10 years involving Moslems?

I'm sorry. No doubt there are sincere people in the world who profess Islam and are not crazed fanatics, but to deny a connection between Islam and religious war is to shut your eyes to the reality of the world. And I wish the people who maintain that Islam is non-violent would spend more time persuading their co-religionists to stop killing people and less time denying they have a problem.

"All Christians are not members of Aryan Nations, and similarly all Moslems are not murderous fanatics."

Let's be clear: a "christian" can only join the Aryan Nations in violation of his sacred scriptures.

A muslim is a murderous fanatic BECAUSE of his "sacred scriptures". The Koran ... read it and weep.

Darth, read the post on the University of Houston arab students who think that the events of 9/11/01 were OK.

You may see me as just a redneck, but you are wrong. I have, for years, worked with a ton of arab university students and professionals.

As the Houston post shows (me at least) the arab elite intellectual culture (i.e., those here in the states to learn a science, etc.) BELIEVE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME THINGS THAT THE EXTREMIST PILOTS DO (DID).

Why is this all so hard for you to accept?

This is not 'Notre Dame v USC' or 'Demos v Republicans' or 'Itchy v Scratchy'.

These arabs, quiet or vocal, violent or not, wish to infiltrate, attack and destroy our nation.

And they have really been pretty open about admitting this for years.

So why don't you and the other Barney-lovers and Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood graduates realize that this is a war, and that they are trying to kill us?

President Bush said on Thursday the United States and its allies were determined to ''do generations a favor by coming together and whipping terrorism.''

The islamic nations must go the way of Troy, Carthage, and Azteca.
This may truly mark the end of the 50 year reign of the gelded socialist sociologists.
Resistance is futile.

When you generalize the whole faith based on it's koran, you get the same result as when you generalize based on the fanatics. The "fanatics" are called "fundamentalists" for a reason.

"AppyPappy, you may be right about the Quoran NOT teaching the killing of Jews and Christians"

He's not.

[CommiesOut]

I knew that he won't make any mistakes, and he will punish the guilty

Same hope here. That's at least what my heart says. Unfortunately looking at the whole picture it looks like the mess created by external and internal enemies is beyond anybody's control. That's why I pray often.

We should start paying attention who the instigators--neo Kristall Nachters are. The hardest part, of course, is to tell an idiot from a professional provocateur.

[babygene]

I dont believe that the fact that there might have been Muslims in the WTC is relivent. Muslims regularly butcher other Muslims...

[watchin]

So ... the real Americans should have simply prosecuted Hitler, rather than lumping all Germans together and declaring war on them??? War is not PC. It generalizes. You said it yourself - the terrorists no doubt killed some muslims, because they lumped everyone together as American capatilist Jews and Christians; the Great Satan.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

"The hardest part, of course, is to tell an idiot from a professional provocateur."
It is easy to distinguish the gelded socialist sociologists and their minions.
They all parrot the lines of the seditious apologists for terrorism.
Let's remove the threat so we may take down the fences, unlock the doors, and open our eyes.
The islamic nations must go the way of Troy, Carthage, and Azteca.
Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are a good start.

Have you read your Koran lately: Koran 9:112-- "Allah has brought you from the Umma -- the true believers of Islam -- their selves and their substance in return for Paradise. They fight in the way of Allah, killing and being killed,. Their promise is written in the blood of the moon. Rejoice in the bargain. That is surely the supreme bargain."
