George W. Bush’s presidency will go down in history as the worst period not only for Americans but for Muslims and Arabs as well. It will also be recorded as the most trying period in the history of Arab-American and Muslim-American relations. It was only a few months after his inauguration that the planes wreaked havoc in New York and Washington.

The psychological reaction to the terror attacks was the unleashing of a wave of deep-seated anti-Arab and anti- Muslim feelings. The terrorism was also a blow to the world economy. Moreover, the attack was a challenge to the United States’ status as the world’s sole superpower. Though the US authorities were initially uncertain of the identity of those guilty of the attack, Bush declared a war on terror. When he said in a speech that the war was a “crusade” Bush was unconsciously revealing an undisclosed hatred of Muslims in his heart. His aides explained that his use of the word “crusade,” the implication of which were ominously clear to Muslims, was a slip of the tongue.

However, it soon became evident that Bush’s reference to the crusades was not a slip of the tongue but an indication of his plan to wage a merciless war against Arabs and Muslims. The most destructive weapons were employed in the war with scant regard for the lives of innocent Afghan civilians and their country’s already weak infrastructure. All international conventions governing the treatment of prisoners of war were cast aside in the case of Arabs and Muslims while European and American prisoners were treated differently.

I don’t think the war has ended. Nor do I believe that the United States has uprooted the terrorists (the name given by the US to Al-Qaeda and the Taleban). The most advanced American intelligence apparatus has failed to determine if Osama Bin Laden is alive or dead.

No sooner had Bush wound up his war in Afghanistan than he revealed his plan to continue the war on a number of Muslim or Arab countries. It is the crusader mindset that makes him take up arms against Iraq, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Iran. Syria is also a likely target. Bush’s intimidating posture has frightened most Arab and Muslim countries, making them work hard to stay in his good books and to agree with him.

The mask concealing the blind support of the Bush administration for Israel has finally slipped. It is no secret that the Jewish lobby did not support Bush in the presidential elections. The Arab and Muslim communities in the US, on the other hand, played an undeniable role in his election victory expecting him to be less harmful to their interests than his rival might have been. Subsequent developments proved the Arab and Muslim voters wrong.

Bush has not hidden his bias toward Israel; he has given total support to Israeli brutalities against civilians and freedom fighters in Occupied Palestine. He has justified Israeli atrocities as its right of self-defense. However, under the pressure of mounting anger among the Arab and Muslim public and all peace-loving people in the world, Bush made an appeal to Israel to stop its aggression and withdraw its army. But he did not warn of any punitive measures against Israel if it did not comply with his appeal. The president’s appeal was apparently a ploy to cool down the public who came out on the streets to protest America’s unjustifiable pro-Israeli policies. Angry protesters in the Arab and Muslim countries had set fire to the American flag and demanded the severing of diplomatic and economic relations with the United States. As much of the Arab and Muslim public saw no supportive steps from their governments — many of which depended upon the US for their security — the people began to make very generous donations to their Palestinian brothers and sisters. Donations of money and blood have been recorded and there are even reports of some people giving every penny they possess. The anti-American feelings of Arabs and Muslims have reached new heights. People have voluntarily begun to boycott American products. Even those Arabs settled in Canada participate in the boycott. It is not difficult to find substitutes for American products.

Bush’s latest surprise: Ariel Sharon is a man of peace! Even America’s staunchest allies had to stare in shock at so obvious a lie. One wonders if Bush is totally blind to what is going on. All non-American TV channels have focused on the large-scale butchery and massive devastation of civilian buildings and government infrastructure, including public health and education. The reports also indicated the cruelty and humiliation inflicted by the Israelis on the entire West Bank population. The Human Rights Commission, a UN body, has stated that the Israeli Army’s atrocities against both civilians and the security forces in Palestine deserve maximum punishment. Countries such as Belgium, Britain and Germany have banned arms sales to Israel while other countries say they will follow suit. People in these countries have been staging protest marches against Israeli policies. They also demand the suspension of trade relations with Israel. Even peace-loving Jews in Israel have protested against the brutal war. They have described the army’s atrocities in Palestinian cities as genocide which does Israel’s already badly-tarnished image no good. It has also been reported that the Swedish Nobel Prize committee is considering withdrawing Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres’ peace prize as he failed to oppose Sharon’s terrorist acts in Palestine. In an apparent bid to save his image, Peres has admitted that what happened in Jenin was a massacre. European peace activists and Western reporters have strongly protested Israel’s refusal to admit them to what remains of the Jenin camps to witness the sites of Israeli massacres.

Mr. Bush, if you truly believe that Sharon, the indiscriminate murderer and oppressor of Palestinian youths, children and elderly men, is a man of peace then it is the end to peace. If you believe that Sharon, who masterminded the murders of Sabra and Shatila, is a man of peace, it is goodbye to peace. Palestinian women have been murdered by Sharon because they have destroyed their own bodies, the only weapon remaining with them, amidst the enemy in response to the call for martyrdom which you call terror. You may turn every stone upside down, uproot every tree, demolish every house and blow up every grain of sand in the land of Palestine but the Palestinians will fight until every usurper and occupier is driven from their territories. I also warn you that Muslims and Arabs look forward to the hour when Allah removes from their rulers’ hearts their fear of you. Then they will open the road to Palestine for a jihad which will ultimately lead them to the Paradise they yearn for even as you fear death.

Bush latest suprise" Sahron is a man of peace

And they call that a suprise? The whole world thinks Arafat is a man of peace after decades of terrorism!

[weikel]

This article shows the mentality of these psychos pretty well.

[AdvisorB]

Yassir is saddam's alter ego. Yassir wants to undermine all of the Arab "moderates" in the region, and replace them with saddam types. When we take out saddam, we ought to make it a twofer by taking out arafat as well.

[knighthawk]

Saddam thought he would win against the US, he lost big time, but still thought that he did win.

The Taliban/Al-Qaeda thought they would win against the US/UK. They lost big time.

The Arabs though they would win from Israel multiple times, and lost everything.

Let them think they are going to win. That way the at least got something!

[knighthawk]

Saddam types? I though there were only a few idiots of that caliber in the world! And they got themselves a country already!

[tomahawk]

Is it really true that there are near a billion of these lunatic nut-jobs on the planet Earth, or is it just my imagination? What kind of world are my children going to have to live in if it is populated with such delusional, dangerous people?

Let's get it on then.

ARTHUR: Now stand aside, worthy adversary.
BLACK KNIGHT: 'Tis but a scratch.
ARTHUR: A scratch? Your arm's off!
BLACK KNIGHT: No, it isn't.
ARTHUR: Well, what's that then?
BLACK KNIGHT: I've had worse.
ARTHUR: You liar!
BLACK KNIGHT: Come on you pansy!

BLACK KNIGHT: Come on then.
ARTHUR: What?
BLACK KNIGHT: Have at you!
ARTHUR: You are indeed brave, Sir knight, but the fight is mine.
BLACK KNIGHT: Oh, had enough, eh?
ARTHUR: Look, you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left.
BLACK KNIGHT: Yes I have.
ARTHUR: Look!
BLACK KNIGHT: Just a flesh wound.

ARTHUR: Look, stop that.
BLACK KNIGHT: Chicken! Chicken!
ARTHUR: Look, I'll have your leg. Right! [whop]
BLACK KNIGHT: Right, I'll do you for that!
ARTHUR: You'll what?

BLACK KNIGHT: All right; we'll call it a draw.
ARTHUR: Come, Patsy.
BLACK KNIGHT: Oh, oh, I see, running away, 'eh? ... You yellow bastards! Come back here and take what's coming to you.... I'll bite your legs off!

Great part of the movie. The Holy handgrenade of Antioch is also very good!

Though the US authorities were initially uncertain of the identity of those guilty of the attack, Bush declared a war on terror.

We knew exactly who these people were withing 24 hours. And we knew immediately that they were terrorists.

This is typical of what passes for "thought" in the Arab world, which is why negotiations are pointless. You're either with us, or you are going to die.

I also warn you that Muslims and Arabs look forward to the hour when Allah removes from their rulers’ hearts their fear of you. Then they will open the road to Palestine for a jihad which will ultimately lead them to the Paradise they yearn for even as you fear death.

It is time to unleash a war, the likes of which they have never seen, upon the Muslims and Arabs who look forward to the hour when Allah removes from their rulers’ hearts their fear of racing planes into the cities of the United States and sending homicide bombers into Passover seders.

I'm staring to think that Islam is the problem.

[tomahawk]

And the jihadists are having as many children as possible, whom they shall poison with their religion of hate, so that they can take over the whole planet. And what will stop them?

[goldstategop]

The "moderate" Saudi Ambassador to the Court Of St. James penned a poem praising suicide bombers. And 15 of his countrymen were among the 20 suicide bombers in this country on 9-11. The Arabs wonder why Americans are so pro-Israel. Could it be that Jews haven't committed an act of mass murder of innocent Americans? It looks to me like the Arab world is in a state of denial, one not helped by the existence of totalitarian dictatorships and armed terrorist groups in their midst.

Your post says so much! I simply can not believe that a single culture can turn out so many "1000 BC" fools. Those Moslem fanatics are so backward and so incredibly stupid that it defies logic for them to exist anywhere except in a grade B comedy. But then - what else would one expect from those, who stuff a bomb up their baby's butt just so they can kill people.

[The Man]

People who lived in 1000 B.C. had on average more sense than these people.
