PA Daily: Asian American Marines are Mongols By Itamar Marcus

Introduction:

PMW has reported in the past on Palestinian racism. [See PMW Bulletin June 23, 2002 - the official Palestinian Authority daily attacked Condoleezza Rice in general, and used her race as the vehicle to launch what were intended as personal insults, calling her "Colored", "Dark" and "the Black Lady".]

Now the editor of the PA daily has ridiculed the race of the US Marine who climbed the statue of Saddam Hussein, calling him, because of his Asian appearance, a Mongol coming to finish the Mongol invasion of Genghis Khan 700 years ago.

The following are excerpts from the text: "Have you noticed the face of the Marine who climbed Saddam's statue to hang him with a rope pulled by a tank? Concentrate very closely: He has slanted eyes, a flat nose, smooth and hairless chin, thin lips. His face is round and his cheekbones protrude. He is not a Western American. He is of Chinese origin, or Japanese. He has a connection to Mongol origins. This Mongol arrived almost seven hundred years after the Mongol invasion of Baghdad to finish Holako's plan [Tatar who invaded Baghdad in 13 th Cent]. He has the same idea as Genghis Khan. The main target of the Mongols was Mecca in order to exterminate the Islamic religion.."

Hafez Barghouthi, Editor-in-Chief of the official PA daily. [Al-Hayat Al-Jadida April 10, 2003]

These guys are stuck in some sort of crazy time warp, and can't pull themselves out. Thats why they refer to us as infidels and crusaders. Now mongols huh? figures.

And your problem is?....

[Billthedrill]

Hmmph! Some Mongols...when the real Mongols took Baghdad in 1258AD they slaughtered 80,000 people, cut off the leaders' heads, and stacked the latter into the now-famous "pyramid of skulls." Our guys are kissing kiddies. Oh, for the good old days...

Well, ooookay...Can we get this Marine to proclaim himself the "Wrath of God" ?

[Illbay]

Funny. SO other people in other countries are "racist," and we're not, aren't we great?

Shoot, this is NOTHING compared to some of the garbage you get coming out of that bastion of sensitivity, France.

Hey, and we elect anti-Semitics to the Senate in New York Sate. Why not address that?

[Illbay]

I doubt seriously that Genghiz Khan gave a flip about "Islam." He was headed to Mecca to sack it and take its treasures, just like everywhere else.

[Savage Beast]

I think you're right, S. These people can't get past ancient history. They've never progressed beyond the Dark Ages.

[Argus]

It was about Baghdad, I believe, that it was said that after Hulagu's Mongols finished razing the city, a horse could gallop across the place where it had been without stumbling.

[Grampa Dave]

I imagine our Asian American Marines will have a big laugh when they hear about this.

Amazing how the newly freed Iraqis could care less what color/nationality/sex our Marines are. They are just happy to see their liberators on the streets instead of Soddomite's Baathist rapists and mass murdering thugs!

[PsyOp]

Biggest mistake the Crusaders made was not allying with the Mongols when the offer was made. If they had, Islam would be a minor historical footnote, and the Palestinians less than that.

[Grampa Dave]

You posted, "These guys are stuck in some sort of crazy time warp, and can't pull themselves out."

These guys and some those areas between Europe and Russia are fighting some war/battle that happened several centuries ago. They are so filled with old hate, they never get to live a real life while they are alive.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

I loved the face of that marine, as well as the diverse faces and ethenicity of our troops. It proves to the world that all peoples, from different parts of the world is what makes America great. Viva Pax Americana, long live America.

[Gracey]

It's rather interesting that atleast half of our solders are Mexican, Black, Asian, Middle Eastern, or something non European. These folk still don't understand that the USA is a bit of everyone from the world, including Muslims, Christians, Jews, Athiests, Hindu's, Buddists, etc., ad nauseum.

[Grampa Dave]

We call them Marines with no hypenation! They call themselves Marines.

This is something the rest of the world does not understand about America.

[Gracey]

...peoples, from different parts of the world is what makes America great

That young marine is no different that me and many other Americans. I'm of Syrian Turkish ancestry. If I was fighting would I be middle eastern to them (my eyes have no slant) or would I be a white American? Bet they couldn't tell the difference.

Of course I consider myself AMERICAN first, last and always, just like that young marine who happened to have slanted eyes (big Fking deal).

[Gracey]

You're so right, grandpa :-)

[Grampa Dave]

As long as you did what your leader and fellow marines expected from you, they wouldn't care. They would kill anyone who tried to hurt you!
