AL QAEDA'S VIDEOTAPED SCHEME TO MASSACRE SCHOOLKIDS

New York Post ^ | 3/09/03 | AL GUART

HEAVILY armed al Qaeda thugs practiced storming a school, shooting children and taking hostages in a videotaped training exercise, The Post has learned.

The terror rehearsal took place under the mandate of al Qaeda's operations chief, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks.

To me it's NOT moral equivalency. But teenagers are given only competing personalities and no background, no theory... and of course, they sympathize with the general's son, so it's very easy for them to decide that the general is at least as ruthless as the terrorists.

I never favor banning books. I sometimes favor burning the authors/pushers of books at the stake. I'll look it up and read it before putting on the black hood and whetting my axe.

Well, I think sometimes the words "ban" and "censor" are thrown around a little too casually (and I just did it myself.) But in my education class my prof was talking about books that have been "banned" by "censors" and gave a list including the Anne Rocquelaire "Beauty" books, which are totally B&D porn. And I said, "Excuse me, but I've READ these books and no kid needs to be reading them in school." And of course, the prof used my comment as proof that even teachers can be "censors." I'm thinking, okay, so NOTHING can be challenged in today's schools??

Was Tim McVeigh a homicide bomber? uh, yea. Seems he was tried for HOMICIDE, no? Suicide, by definition, and by clinical application, implies an intent to kill ONEself--NOT other people. You know this. Words are not funny; they are precise--when one familiarizes himself with denotations.

By the way, Timmy was not tried for homicide. He was tried and executed for Murder in the First Degree. Homicide is not a crime (except maybe in the ICC, and then only if the liberals want it to be).

"Homicide bomber" is just a ridiculous pleonasm, given it's understood that the purpose of the bombing is to murder innocent people. In the annals of normal criminality, from time to time there are cases in which someone kills his spouse or family and then himself. These are referred to as "murder suicides". So, I suppose you could call a suicide bombing a "murder suicide using explosives", but that's a trifle clumsy. Consider Richard Reid, generally known as the fortunately incompetent "shoe bomber". He was also an attempted suicide bomber and an attempted murderer. But "shoe bomber" gets the whole concept across much more succinctly. The other terms all require extra description.

Note also that the sand nazis don't call them suicide bombers. Rather, they salute them as martyrs. After all, suicide is a sin in Islam. But the Islamofascist mullahs have managed to spin their deaths as martyrdom, a heroic cost of waging war against the infidels, to be rewarded with the 72 virgins, etc.

Dumbing the language down to suit political tastes is an activity best left to liberals and worse.

This is nothing new for arab terrorists. There were a number of elementary schools in Israel that were attacked like this during the 70s, and eventually, after Israel made sure that the school teachers and other employees were armed, the terrorists stopped attacking schools.

Remember, terrorists are at heart, cowards, preferring to prey on unarmed victims, and they take their power from the fear (and "terror") they induce. They have no stomach or will to attack those who will actively oppose them. They are nothing more than predators, and should be eliminated from the earth.

I believe that if terrorists attack a school in the US, they will make the greatest mistake of their careers. If the news media shows dead children, murdered by islamic terrorists, even the "anti-war" pacifists will be screaming for islamic blood.

I do NOT see how anyone can say that this is NOT a religious war. Is it that hard to figure out that the wackjobs ARE using their religious beliefs as their 'attack platform'?

Has anyone else noted that in the captured Al Queda training footage where masked terrorists are storming a building, that all of the targets are marked with a large criss? You're right: This is all about religion.

If it is a religion it is of Satan. Enough "good" stuff to be able to pass muster for the good people.... but the whole Koran is full of directing the killing of those not like you, of raping young boys, of plundering the goods of those who do not believe or think as you.
It does not tell to do these things in defense but in offense or the spreading of the "religion". What other religion directs in it's literature to do these sort of things?

[JSteff]

"If the terrorists ever succeeded in attacking a school here in America, I think you would see a BIG change in attitude among subrurbanites who are not usually affected by that kind of evil."

I got news for you, the intelligencia, academics, liberals, and "counselors" of the U.S. would not cry for better protection for our schools but for DISARMING all of the citizens of America. Of course this would be the law abiding citizens, the criminals and terrorists will just go on as always.... unaffected by the laws.
This is not said in jest, it IS what will happen. They are just waiting for it.

[JSteff]

Excellent!

Of course they will, but since 9/11, I just don't think that dog will hunt anymore!

I should say the radical Islamics, not all Islamics.

[oregon conservative]

Radical islam is our enemy, not all of Islam. I painted with too broad of a brush here. While I believe our borders need to be more closely watched and the immigration laws upheld, to profile because of someones beliefs only, is going to far. Not all Islamics are radical and to say they all are was wrong and too broad. If they are here illegally or breaking US laws, they should be legally deported. To say lawful islamic citizens are just here for cover to shield the lawbreakers was wrong and I apologize, again too broad a brush. People of all races and religions have a right to come here legally to live, including islamics and muslims as long as it is done lawfully. Again only a small faction of islam is radical and not all. I'm the one here who is getting carried away, Islam when practiced legally and peacefully has every right to exist as does any religion, only radical islamics who intend harm should face the full wrath of the laws of the USA, I don't mean that we as citizens should ever take the law into our own hands, but should be left to the proper authorities , as should our defence on a national level.
