Americans are masters of destruction

Yes we are, thanks to our B1's, B2's, B-52's, AH-64's, M-1', F-16's, F15's etc. And don't you ever forget it.

The Americans are experts in destruction

Coming soon to a hovel near you.

The Americans are experts in destruction but novices in reconstruction, reform and renovation. They must learn fast.

This from a people that haven't had any reform in centuries.

Fascinating perspective, O camel-fellator!

Yes Americans know little about constructive behavior - we only took a vast wilderness and turned it into the most productive civilization know to man.

You Arabs, however, conquered and wrecked the two most impressive civilizations of the post-Roman period, the Byzantine and Persian empires. You haven't been able to pull your filthy, mongrel carcasses out of the gutter since then either.

In the classroom of world history, Islam is the poorly-dressed bully who came to school on the short bus.

They keep talking about how they don't like us, how we will regret upsetting them, etc. etc. So far, we have seen mostly words. Kind of like, Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will never harm me.

The US is driving the Muslim world to hatred, says newspaper editor Abdel Bari Atwan

The Muslim world is driving the US to military action and forcible regime changes, says FReeper xm.

The US is driving the Muslim world to hatred

Tough Crap. If your Jihadist buddies quit sending bus bombs and hit innocents like the chickenshits you are, we wouldn't be after you, now, would we.

[Maelstrom]

The logic eludes me, help me out, how can the US drive these people to a destination at which they already reside?

[kaylar]

Back in September, I distinctly remember reading a POS article from an Egyptian thing, who expresssed his joy at the anthrax mailings, and stated that as a result of the mailings , the US would be forced to institute a new Marshall Plan for the entire Middle East. If this article is any indication, I think the things are starting to realize that they're NOT gonna all become rich of US tax dollars.

[sheik yerbouty]

The author of the article is obviously in need of a hot lead enema to purge himself of jihadism and its attendant syphillisation.

[onedoug]

Gee. Our enemies hate us. Who'd a thunk it?

[steve-b]

the corrupt dictatorial regimes that have been imposed on the people.

They don't like us supporting their corrupt dictatorial regimes. They don't like us overthrowing their corrupt dictatorial regimes. I swear, there's just no pleasing some people....

[Travis McGee]

The question for him is will millions of mohammedans still make the haj to pray at the edge of a mile wide smoking radioactive crater?

What will it say about his all-powerful god when the black moon-god rock is destroyed by a comet launched from America, which will happen 30 minutes after his insane death cultists unleash a WMD in the USA?

Something for insane death cult islamists everywhere to ponder deeply.

[Grampa Dave]

Does this Islamic Terrorists write opeds for the anti American web sites posted on Free Republic? His trash sounds just like anti***.com and nutsick.com..

[denydenydeny]

THis was my favorite line:

Now the humane foundations of Western civilisation - tolerance, democracy, a fair and independent judiciary, equality before the law and respect for human rights - are being questioned by Muslims worldwide.

I question this, seeing as, if they've lived their lives in the Muslim world, they have no idea what any of those concepts are.

[kemathen7]

Lets see ... our Muslim friend Abdel here claims that Americans are experts in destruction, yet novices in reconstruction. Take one look at the WTC and Pentagon. Ummm, Americans didn't do the destruction, yet they are reconstructing both sites. Do the math, Abdel.

Americans are masters of destruction

Which ought to make y'all think twice about pissing us off.

[Bikers4Bush]

If we're so bad at re-construction then why are Europe and Japan doing so well?

[Steve0113]

The Americans are experts in destruction but novices in reconstruction, reform and renovation. They must learn fast.

Why?

[KSCITYBOY]

So if 9/11 was an indication of what happens when the arab world doesn't hate us then I really don't see the harm in bombing the dumb asses.
