Fox just annoucning another suicide bombing at a check point in Baghdad. 4 Marines injured....more details coming...

The only way to stop this is to make all Iraqi citizens nothing but thongs.

[Polybius]

I suggest every checkpoint in Baghdad is manned by an armored vehicle with a machine gun mounted on the top.

I suggest that Robert Fisk and Peter Arnett be drafted by their respective British and American Governments and be assigned checkpoint duty while Marines provide cover for them behind bunkers.

This "whorehouse" thing that is popularly bandied about here does not appear in the Qu'ran. Rather, it is a sort of "Islamic Internet Legend," like the "Rapture," which is a popular concept among some fundy Christians but is not supported by scripture either.

You can say whatever you want, but the vast majority of Muslims are decent people who worship God in their own way in good faith.

It's too bad your tendency toward bigotry won't let you see that. If it weren't for the fact that our Islamic allies vastly outnumber our Islamic enemies, we would never have a chance in this War on Terror.

I'm going to guess here that you mean "WEAR nothing but thongs."

[jetson]

Yes I did ...thank you.

[elbucko]

Muslims die for their god..In Christianity the son of God died for us.

Yes. Big difference. Die for the past or live for the future. Islam is contradictory to the "Natures Law" of the Founding Fathers.

[elbucko]

Well said Joe.

This all started centuries ago with the "Assassins", so named because they were high on Hashish when they went out to kill their targets.

This is very true and very pertinent to today and this situation. These "people", the homicide bombers, are reduced mentally to the level of, dare I say it, "animals". WWI was started by an assassin from an Islamic organization know as the "Black Hand". Gabriel Princeps was as high as a kite when he shot Arch Duke Ferdinand and loosed the dogs of war.

I don't think the solution is the murder of a bombers family, but neither do I believe that the rational approach to the irrational is the rational solution.

A big source of anti-Islam sentiment is the fact that suicide bombing and killing civilians is excused or encouraged by many Islamic leaders, regimes and politically sympathetic Muslims. PLO, Taliban, Iran's theocracy/Hezbollah, Pakistan terrorists/madrasas, Saudi Arabian money men and madrasas, Yemen training camps, Sudanese terrorist support, Syria, Beirut, bus/club bombings in Israel, countless major terrorist operations around the world etc...just off the top of my head.

Where are the Muslim leaders speaking out against groups like Hamas? Where are the Islamic rallies against suicide bombings?

Suicide bombing is not a feature of true Islam any more than the many of years of the Inquisition is an example of Christianity. Nevertheless it is up to leaders of Islam, the Islamic community to stamp this out, and if they don't outsiders will.

Sept. 11 is an example why we cannot look the other way while this problem grows. The U.S. and allies will be a positive force for change in the region. We will help develop responsible leaders and communities while enabling self-determination, freedom and human rights common in responsible nations.

I can tell you the "eye-for-an-eye" method hasn't exactly stopped these bombers in Israel has it?

The Israelis haven't tried executing their families yet, so "eye for an eye" hasn't yet been implemented. They're not allowed to take drastic measures because of the anti-semite pigs in Europe and nancy-boys like Illbay in the US.

What is more effective, bulldozing the home of a terrorist's family or cutting off the financial inducement to create more suicide bombers?

It's not about finances, it's about sheer will, brutality and dedication to cause. Our enemy is stronger in their minds and will than we are right now. As long as that's the case, they won't stop. Fact of life.

It's not going to happen overnight, nor likely in this generation ...

I'd rather it stop right now, not in a few generations. If every suicide sicko knew his mother, father and siblings would be killed ASAP, it would stop now, and we'd save the lives of countless innocents. I call it "indirect compassion".

[netmilsmom]

I think you have me wrong here.
When 911 happened, I wanted to know what would make these people tick.
I bought the Quran and I saw that Allah is the only one who will let anyone of them into Paradise, therefore the only way a Muslim can rest assured a place in Paradise is through Jihad. No good works nor pennance will assure this.
I just would like to see where it says that Allah resides in hell. It would be interesting. Kind of like a "know your enemy".

Use german SS occupating tactics. They took hostages.
If something happen against thier forces in some place. Then they just shot one hostage party and took new one.
The toll was like 10 hostages for life of one german soldier.
If germans arrest partisan they shot him and those who cover him. Sometime they burned whole village to the ground and killed everyone in it including old folk and infants.

You are a f*cking savage. Go join the Hitler youth or something.

And yes, that's a personal attack, a well-deserved one.

[Illbay]

"NO racism or violence in posts."

Think about it.

[Tall_Texan]

I call it "indirect compassion".

I call it "murder". What if the family has cut off ties with Johnny Jihad and wants no part of his awful deeds? Still gonna lynch 'em for being a blood relative? Think Johnny Jihad is going to give a rat's ass once he's dead what you do to his next of kin?

You may stop some but you won't stop them all. In the mean time, you'll prove to the entire Arab world that we are no different from Hussein or Hitler. You better hope none of them have nukes or your little plan might backfire big time.

[Kangaroo Court]

You are wrong. It is not an "internet" thing. I saw with my own eyes a Muslim prisoner in Afghanistan saying that not only was he fighting to gain his virgins but also the young boys. There is much more to Islam than just the Koran. There are the many writings and speeches of their religious leaders, past and present that they follow. Some of these are evil, and they promote evil. No way should we even think of going after families of these bombers, but these evil "religious" leaders that espouse cold blooded murder should be targeted, arrested and killed if necessary.

[Hila]

Of course Allah lives in hell, it's a demon. A foul, defeated, stinking, deceiving wannabe.

[Hila]

Jews are the chosen people of Yahweh, the One True Elohim, and therefore, no intelligent person would dare say anything irrespectful of their God. Whereas, the Muslim people live in deception of a demon-moon god - totally different!!!!!

[Illbay]

By "internet thing" I simply mean that it is a baseless teaching of these radical Islamists.

You must understand that a large number of the "cannon fodder" that the radical Islamists engage are ignorant, illiterate and clueless. The only 'learning' they have received are what these radicals teach them.

It's as if we were being inundated by a bunch of illiterate rednecks that had somehow been mesmerized by some "Christian Identity" preachers, who have their own very unique "understanding" of the Bible and Christian doctrine that includes killing non-whites.

It would be incredibly unfortunate if the rest of the world concluded that this is what Christians in general believe.

I can assure you: Knowledgeable Muslims that I know and have spoken to think "teachings" like these are an abomination. They are NOT "Islam," but a radical, fringe bastardization of Islam.

[Illbay]

You've made so many ignorant statements on this thread, I don't even know where to begin.

So I won't try.

Your bigotry shouldn't be seen as a substitute for truth.
