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.

[Jhoffa_]

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.

Please note that it was both unnecessary & unjust.

Further, Muslims are protected by our Constitution. Hangings and mass deportations are something worthy of people like the Taliban.

"It is open season on Islam..."

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

Why thank you. That's a welcome change.

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.

Yes, exactly.

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!

I agree completely.

[Jhoffa_]

If your nut cult screams"KILL THE INFIDEL" is that free speech or an incitement for civil dis-order?

What? Trying to start a murderous riot?

We have laws against that type of thing. Domestic Islam can either obey the same laws as the rest of us, or face the same punishment as the other law breakers.

I have now seen the advocation of deportation of citizens, who believe other than the majority. Sorry

Yeah, most of the really violent stuff ends up being pulled though.

[Jhoffa_]

Its my opinon that Muslims living in this country are most unlikely to be law-abiding citizens, because if they are good Muslims, they are looking to kill the infidel and killing is still against the law.

It's the "against the law" part our legal system has such a problem with, because their religion is protected four square by the US constitution.

Deport them for the good of the nation.

Also Unconstitutional, and about a dozen other things I won't go into.

[inflorida]

Your post (#117) is dead-on. Muslims believe it is okay to lie to the infidels - aka: you and me - and the muslim sympathizers are blind to this.
What it will take to wake them up? Clearly 9/11 wasn't enough.

Well that's why I brought up the geriatric Nazi. He is a naturalized citizen, and will be stripped of his citizenship. This takes some effort, but if it is worth going after a doddering old man who tried to keep his past quiet, it is worth going after anyone active in Islamo-fascist mosques.

[lavaroise]

I have seen several of our own little FR christian jihadders calling for mass deportations and "hanging's from a street lamp" for the "crime" of being an American Muslim.

Puleaze, you re going to make us feel guilty here, not. Of course you have to stereotype it all yourself, throwing the baby with the bathwater, and feel so righteous about it.

Many oppressed muslims by muslims wish most muslims would get nuked out of the planet. Get a grip.

[Jhoffa_]

That seems kind of senseless to me. I don't really have a response for that.

Just stating a fact..

Sorry you find it so disturbing.

Here is an FR article/thread that you may find insightful:

You keep claiming it is unconstitutional to deport raical Moslems. How so? We have stripped citizenship from Nazis and Communists and deported them and prevented them entering the U.S. The Constitution is full of "thou shalt nots" for the government, but it gives the government the duty and wide latitude to provide for security from foreign threats.

[tessalu]

USA is too civilized for Islam. Take it back to the desert behind the bushes. No one needs that Nonsense in the USA.
Take the lies and hatred somewhere else.

Please note that it was both unnecessary & unjust.

Unnecessary? Perhaps, perhaps not. I think it was necessary. Unjust? It was wartime.

Further, Muslims are protected by our Constitution. Hangings and mass deportations are something worthy of people like the Taliban.

The issue here is mass deportations of illegals, applicants and possibly "permanent residents", and detentions, not hangings.

Has it occurred to you that Muslims here may just be holding back from terrorism until the most advantageous time comes?

My guess is that what you see in Israel today is what we will see in our cities here in the future. But they are waiting for the right time. If the terrorism starts now, it will be self-defeating because there aren't enough of them yet.

When they are firmly entrenched in our schools, prisons, media, military and positions of authority, they will go for the gusto.

[Jhoffa_]

You keep claiming it is unconstitutional to deport raical Moslems. How so?

Well, in a case like that the state has to level a charge and bear the burden of proof. Additionally, even if they are not deported, "radical" Muslims are still subject to the rest of our laws.

Merely worshiping Islam however is Constitutionally protected. You can't just start deporting Muslims arbitrarily, it's unconstitutional.

[desertcry]

Do I need a permit? No, they breed like rabbits, and a muslim male can have as many wives as he wants. Unfortunately, it is the christians that breeds like a panda who are being killed. So who are the endangered spicies?
