Postcard USA: Open Season on Islam

Daily Times [Pakistan] ^ | January 5, 2003 | Khalid Hasan

[Mrs. Obelix]

The latest insult to Islam comes in the form of a new book - "Islam Unveiled" - by Robert Spencer which rejects the thesis that Islam is a religion of peace or that it has been hijacked by a minority of extremists. It is open season on Islam in America.

You are right there.....nice interpretation of the dialogue, btw, LOL.....wouldn't you have loved being a fly on the wall?:)

I got news for you buddy: They just found some 87 year old Nazi are are going to strip him of citizenship and deport him. Good riddance, I say!

The same should happen to every immigrant Moslem with a whiff of Islamo-fascism on him.

[BADROTOFINGER]

Ill have to respond later, but the discussion is a good one. Talk to you soon...:-)...JFK

[Jhoffa_]

Then they will simply have to get over it and resolve this conflict, just like the peaceful millions do here every day.

If they don't, there's a jail cell waiting for them We have laws against this sort of thing.

[Mears]

The silence of the "peaceful" Muslims,especially their leaders, is something that has constantly astonished me,where the heck are they?

In a previous post you mentioned that they are like a cult,well I agree.I'm reading a book called "Al-Qaeda" by Jane Corbin of the BBC and the cultlike recruitment of the suicide bombers by Osama and his top men is exactly the way that cults get members.

The bottom line is where are the so called peaceful Muslim leaders and why haven't they spoken out? This whole thing terrifies me.

As Ann Coulter says,with 9/11 the liberals finally found a religion they could like.

[Jhoffa_]

Okay, looking forward to it..

[Jhoffa_]

The same should happen to every immigrant Moslem with a whiff of Islamo-fascism on him.

You see, I don't know how you can do that without getting into constitutional issues (which is a monster that would threaten us all at some point) and "Thought Crimes"

We have laws against violent behavior, those are more then sufficient.

[Jhoffa_]

....wouldn't you have loved being a fly on the wall?

It would have been more fun to make the phone call.

"Now listen up, if you think Osama is worth dying for then you've got that turban wrapped waaay too tight. Now, fork him over or else.."

One would do it the same way one shows that someone is a Fascist: by membership in known Islamo-fascist organizations, for example. Visa-holders are here at our pleasure. There is no constutional issue until you start getting into the due process rights of naturalized citizens.

I am starting to get excited now, has this administration decided to turn loose the capitalist system against her enemies? Is it a bounty system? Or target practice?

[Jhoffa_]

There is no constutional issue until you start getting into the due process rights of naturalized citizens.

Correct. That's who I was refering to.

Obviously non-citizens are here solely by virtue of our good will.

[jeremiah]

I have not seen anyone advocating the deportation of citizens of America, worshipping Allah. I personally advocated the deportation of all non-citizens of the Muslim faith, along with any and all others not citizens, or in the process of becoming one. Any here to go to school, or visit family, or just come to find work, go home.

[Jhoffa_]

Any one with an I.Q. above room temperture would have to say that Islam is the most insane death cult on the face of the earth today. Totaly insane.

Yes, abroad there is big problems with Islam in some places.

Domestically however, they are Constitutionally protected.

I have too. If you're here illegally, then you have to go.. regardless.

IMHO.

If you want to follow in his footsteps, go right ahead.. Don't expect me to agree that it's necessary however.

No, I wouldn't expect you to at this point; however, please note that after they came for the Japanese-Americans, they DIDN'T come for the Christians, Jews, or other groups, which was your earlier arguement.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The person of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), has been singled out for the most shameful calumny...

Muhammed WAS a demon-possessed, mass-murdering pedophile. Get used to it.

[Fiddlstix]

What the hell is a "PBUH" exactly?

Peace be upon him

[serinde]

The fact of the matter is, if you can deport Americans for worshipping Islam today, you can deport Americans for worshipping Christ tomorrow.. and Jews the day after that.. and Conservatives after that.. and on and on..

Just wanted to say thanks for your comments throughout this thread about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Yes, Muslims flew into the towers. However, they were not Americans.

America is still (presumably) a nation of laws.

Therefore, condemning law-abiding Americans for the acts of non-Americans isn't right and violates every principle of America's founding.

I agree with your position that if Americans violate American laws, they should be punished accordingly.

Otherwise - as firmly established in the Bill of Rights - they should be free to worship as they please. Even if it is a religion that others don't like or approve of.

The situtation with the towers does not fall into this category, though, and much of the thread's discussion seems to be ignoring this fact.

Americans killing Americans on the basis of their religious beliefs is the exact opposite of what America (supposedly) stands for.

And those proposing killing, imprisoning, deporting, or otherwise harming law-abiding Americans should be ashamed of themselves.

(Although ranting does relieve some tension.)

They also need to consider your statement that I copied above.

Christianity is currently under attack in America. Sometime in the future, Christians may be hated as much as Muslims are right now, and the solution may well be to kill or imprison or deport them. Especially if that precident is set now.

People need to set aside their emotions for a while and think about what kind of world those emotions may lead to in the future. Not the kind I want to live in, that's for sure!
