"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?

I think we should call it "Operation 'Zig for Great Justice.'"

Muslims are not the people of God. Puke out all of your "lets get along" BS, fact is, you believe the Bible, or you do not.

I believe it.

************ OPERATION INFINITE FReedom ****************

Also known as the war on the PC police and the left.

That was one I thought about...

But so as not to insult the Muslims, I propose using a movie type name for the operation:

"Well that settles it, we'll change it to Operation Infinite Justice on Diaperheads."

"infinite justice" was offensive because "only Allah can provide infinite justice."

We'll help them to quickly see Allah once the war is joined by civilized countries.

We're not at war with Muslims or Islam, or any religion.

We're at war with radical terrorists.

"...If "Operation Infinite Justice" was offensive..... then I guess "Operation Smoked Turban" would really be offensive..."

Yeah, close call here too.

I was going to suggest 'Operation Nuke Death to the Goat F***ing Sand Hoboes', but I can see now that this might be a little too edgy...

Infinite Justice=God Stuff
Creatures are NOT God. Good idea NOT to use "Infinite Justice".
Keep it simple, like "Crush".......'Operation Crush' or some such idea.
IMHO

That may be the exact point. Part of this mission is to break the terrorists and their supporters of the idea that they are divinely fated to win. Taking such a concept from their worldview and applying it to us plays into this objective.

I wish you hadn't posted that. Now FR's resident gay-activist lobby will drop by to make its flaccid, self-obsessed, irrelevant point.

It's akin to saying, "The Spanish Inquisition" in a Monty Python skit.

", the reporter replied that he had spoken to Muslim clerics, and that "infinite justice" was offensive because "only Allah can provide infinite justice.""

Then we can use the name Operation Middle Man and forward the terrorists to Allah and let him take care of the "infinite" part.
