"Infinite Justice" offensive to Muslims
NPR | self

Posted on 09/20/2001 9:27:25 AM PDT by van_erwin

I just heard Donald Rumsfeld on the radio answering reporters' questions, and one reporter asked if the operation in the middle east would really be named "Infinite Justice."
When Rumsfeld replied that he had 'heard' the name, but that it might not be the actual name of the action, the reporter replied that he had spoken to Muslim clerics, and that "infinite justice" was offensive because "only Allah can provide infinite justice."
To which Rumsfeld replied that we would not name it anything that might be offensive!

Thoughts?

America also offends them. I'll be damned if we have to change it too. I think it was John Cleese who said about Monty Python, "it was made to offend those who needed offending" When are these Clymers going to realize that political correctness has just been thrown on the ashpile of history?

"Thoughts?"

Sure.

I'd have smiled, said "thanks for noticing," and then renamed it "Operation Infinite Pig Roast"

Ok, if you don't like that one, how about 'Operation Infinite Conscription Of Americans'

How about "Operation United We Stand Divided We Fall"?

You may crawl back into your sewer in you are frightened. You may come out again once better men and women than you have fought and died to secure your freedom.

My, word... aren't you over-reacting just a tad.

I hope so. But I am not liking what I am hearing from anywhere right now.

"...this will make you barf!..."

Yeah, I read that earlier.

Actually, that liberal tripe can be useful.

There have been occasions when reading it has given me ideas...
