Appeasers and apologists like Meon are our own worst enemy. Why? Because it is going to take more than 9/11 to wake us up. Because our politicians don’t have the stomach to tell the truth. Because we have lost our will to call a spade a spade. Because we are ignoring the most important element of intelligence -- understanding the mindset and dedication of our enemies -- and because being politically correct has become our norm. America is doomed to failure in this war of ideology, an ideology that would turn a loving mother into a “launching pad of death.” We are doomed unless we stand up and identify the real enemy: Islam itself. History has shown time and again that you can kick the truth, bend the truth, gag the truth, hide the truth, but you can never kill the truth. Truth has a bad habit of hanging around until everyone can see it. I try to point that out and I am treated as the enemy, NOT islamic animals! Iraq is an inferno, Palestinian Territory is ready to ignite, the Syrians are busy with their machinations, the Lebanese Hezbollah is stirring, the Taliban in Afghanistan is resurging, and the Iranian Mullahs are working overtime fanning any and all fires while furiously racing to make the bomb to KILL more of us. The common denominator in all these troubles is Islam, with Iran’s mullahs its linchpin. The petrodollar-rich Shiite Mullahs are busily bankrolling any and all who are fighting the “infidel” world, while their Sunni kin try to outdo them and claim the mantel of leadership for the Ummeh. Islamism is rapidly advancing on two fronts. Every Islamic country is cowing the non-radicals while recruiting more and more radicals into its own ranks. In non-Muslim lands, flush with Petrodollars, Islamism is establishing itself as a formidable force by enlisting the disaffected and attracting the delusional liberals with their promises. For the faithful, there is the added incentive of Allah’s heaven and its irresistible attractions. Alright, let’s roll out the red carpet for the immigrant Muslims, treat them as you would your own citizens, give them stipends, medical care, and free education and they will integrate seamlessly into the society? Wrong! No such thing at all. The idea of the Melting Pot may work with people who come from different lands to embrace the new country as their home. The Muslims on the other hand come with the belief that they already own the place and want to make it part of the Ummeh. Some 40% of second and third generation Muslim Britons reject British democracy, express their allegiance to Islam and want to live under Sharia. “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth” --Omar Ahmed, Chairman of the Board of CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations), San Ramon Valley Herald, July 1998. So much for the Melting Pot daydreamers! Many universities in the U.S. are bastions and incubators of many Useful Idiots. Far left professors and liberals do more than teach their subjects of specialty. They feel that they have license to pontificate on any and all matters. That is why they are called “professors.” These self-appointed prima donnas cover themselves with the shield of academic freedom. Academic freedom is like liberty—it can be abused often and abused greatly. That is the price of freedom. Yet, these abusers of freedom, the far left, will be among the first to be buried under the rubble of the free society’s collapse they work so doggedly to bring about. Muslims love our liberal politicians and will happily ally with them, who then will gladly cede some of their power to this group of enforcers, so that conservative politicians and Christians who advocate self defense and sane social policies are kept out of office. On university campuses, Islam will be portrayed as righteous and peaceful, while Christianity will be associated with evil Western and American values. What do the rebellious American youth do? They will eat it up. The revisionists (Moderates) wish to believe that Islam is wrongly accused by a “tiny minority,” so people can realize that the terror phenomenon will never go away and, as a matter of fact, they immediately join the ranks of the jihadists. This is why it is important to name the alternative positions for the moderates, because most people refuse to accept that my side of the story even exists. I consider myself a realist by default. I have experienced first hand the reality of Islam. The mainstream media must pay close attention to revelation of the apostates. They lived to tell. Argument cannot just come from Christians, but from all philosophical and political perspectives. Islam’s manifestation is the source of the jihadists’ manual: “Against them (the unbelievers) make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.” Koran8.060 Americans are always accustomed to thinking in bipolar/dualistic paradigms, and at one time thought that Shiites were the violent and ”extreme” ones, and that Sunnis were liberal and pacifists. Well, I hope that at least Iraq has exposed this lie. It is important to educate people that all Islamic sects agree on the fundamental principles of evil. It is time to take a stand and shift the debate to "true" Islam. Islam realists do not have to investigate every other religion on earth in order to compare them or offer opinion about their relative “goodness” in order to declare that on the whole Islam perpetuates evil. Let others devolve into religious disagreements. But for those commentators who would respond: “great, so now what...to you Islam is evil. How do we combat that?” Your response is already clear: Through the spread of truth, not deceit. Through voluntary social sanctions and laws in every civilized country that forbid evil practices like Sharia, coercion and violence against women, threats against those who disagree, honor killings and other hate crimes. Let the world know the truth and decide for itself. Let Muslims who come to their senses opt out. Another thought: let’s separate arguments that impugn Islam on the basis of the (weird to me) liturgical conduct that is required of them. All religions have rituals, but who cares. The real story is not whether they wash their feet, or sign a cross with holy water, or whirl like a Dervish. The issue is how they treat those who disagree with them or stray from their sanctioned behaviors. Islam seeks to conquer the world by force and force all subjects to accept a global Islamic theocracy in which its antisocial policies can be imposed without question or alternative. Violators are cruelly punished. Abrogators are murdered. No wonder the communists love these guys. It’s the same “god,” the god of mandatory surrender of all rights to the State...submission! Islam is an example of a belief system that perpetuates both force and fraud, sanctioned and prescribed within its scripture. It has a perfect legacy of bloody conquest and stands as an example of one of the few religions of mankind that mandates violent human death and destruction as a modus operandi (shared with Aztec and Mayan religions). Islam’s founder waged dozens of bloody wars of aggression and spouted ugly and damning diatribes against unbelievers -- Christians and Jews in particular. Today, the most devout and knowledgeable Muslims are all Jihadists. And other than communist nations, the least free and most impoverished societies, and the places in which there is the greatest difference between rich and poor, are all Muslim nations. The only major religion that still sanctions slavery, the beating of women by men, and forced female circumcision, is Islam. And the Quran specifically encourages bloody, violent, eternal Jihad against unbelievers and requires all devout Muslims to lie “Taqqye-ye,” and wait in readiness to attack with terrorism (sleeper cells are prescribed in the Quran). “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.” Koran:9:5 It is urgent that we confront Islamism on all fronts. All free people must demand that their governments, at all levels, abandon the practice of political correctness and act to safeguard liberty against the truly deadly assault of Islamism on the rest of the World.
You should at least have the honesty to cite your cut-n-paste sources instead of plagiarizing others work as your own. I could label you as something here but I think I'll let others come up with their own labels... http://www.amilimani.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=80&Itemid=2
I have tons and tons of references that I have and I will use to make and back up my assertions...especially when you have to debate against somebody like yourself who now suggests that our government is just as whacked and radical as the one in Iran. Appeasers and apologists of islam like yourself are indeed this country's enemy from within.
That is the truth. You can be sure that when our nations enemies make their move to bring us down it will come from some of our (perceived) closest allies and confidants. The very confidants and allies who advise us not to raise the alarm or build stronger defenses now. Sorry to point out the obvious, but there are factions in our own government bent on this nations destruction.
References??? No, a reference is a cited source. What you are doing is pretending that those words are yours. You tack your opinions on the beginning and then you tack your false conclusions to the end of your stolen prose. You're a phony. There you have your very own label. I thought all you were doing was associating your opinions with otherwise known common facts in hopes of achieving some kind of credibility for your personal opinions but you have gone way beyond that delusion to actually pretending your cut-n-paste logic is actually a real debate. If this were an actual debate, you'd have been thrown out of the competition and banned from future participation. Lucky for you this is just a friendly discussion. You're a complete and total phony. Call me anything you want. Label me again and again but anyone with your pathetic intellectual abilities is just a waste of key strokes. Who's opinion will you steal next. Please let me know. I'd rather debate them, at least they aren't posers like yourself. I am so disappointed in you. Shame, shame, shame. Phony, Phony, Phony.
Please allow me to call your attention to the fact that you don't have to but you do all the time. Can't you acknowledge something as simple as the obvious. It shows in almost every one of your posts when in discussion with Midas. I happen to believe you can do better when you try.
I don't know what you are talking about. I just looked at every single one of my posts in this thread and only one contains red lettering and bolded text. I only used it in that instance to differentiate my comments from Midas's or whoever’s comments he was plagiarizing. You exaggerate my use of this technique but completely ignore the fact that Midas uses this method in pretty much every post. It’s a journalistically weak approach to making a point and unnecessary if you actually are a good persuasive writer. On the other hand, if all you are doing is highlighting the main points of other people’s writing it allows you post rather long diatribes without even understanding what it is you are posting. It seems like a weak-minded approach to bring to any discussion and I for one am appalled by the pass you and others here seem to grant him. If you can’t make your own arguments, you really don’t belong in the discussion. I guess it isn’t all that surprising considering that he belongs to the party that has always looked for easy answers and black and white solutions. The party that will probably never have a Nobel Peace Prize winner among them. The party that has been as anti-intellectual as most banana republic regimes. No wonder the Republicans are always trying to put Hollywood actors in the White House, they never have to think, just read scripts.
You can be sure that the next strike against the nation will originate (ordered from) from the middle east, and I'm not talking about Israel or India. Saudi Arabia, probably where OBL and Mull Omhar are at now is turning more and more radical on a daily basis. The Saudi Ambassador to the US is on a first name basis with every powerful politician in DC. I would recommend this read, Sleeping with the Devil by Robert Baer or any other books he (ex/retired CIA operative) has written. Each one is carefully written and screened by the department so as not to OUT any operatives or to jeapordize any current operations. The metaphors he uses leave little to the imagination though... http://www.amazon.com/Sleeping-Devi...2370528?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1193421880&sr=1-3
I think the book is first rate in telling it like it is. I have always ralled against the Saudis. They are not our friends as Washington pretends they are. Robert Baer, Former CIA Case Officer and Author of "Sleeping with the Devil: How Washington Sold Our Soul for Saudi Crude." A BUZZFLASH INTERVIEW Think About This: Whenever You Buy a Tank of Saudi Arabian Gas, You are Helping to Finance Terrorism. Regular BuzzFlash readers know that we have regularly run articles, commentaries and editorials arguing that, in part, the invasion of Iraq was a Bush administration effort to divert attention from the primary financiers of terrorism -- and the source of much of the al-Qaeda leadership -- Saudi Arabia. Of course, there were other motivating factors for the Bush military action against Iraq, which we have detailed (see, as examples, The Perfect War and Endgame). But a recent poll indicates that the American public still believes Iraq was behind 9/11, even though bin Laden received Saudi, not Iraq financing, and 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis. The Bush administration kept -- and keeps -- insinuating that Iraq was involved deeply in 9/11, while trying to sweep under the carpet much, much stronger indications of key Saudi involvement in the financing, strategy and implementation of 9/11. As a result, they have successfully misled Americans about who was really responsible for 9/11. It is within this context that we interviewed Robert Baer, a case officer for the Directorate of Operations for the Central Intelligence Agency from 1976 to 1997. He worked out of the Middle East. You may, like BuzzFlash, not agree with all of Baer's remedies, but his insights are invaluable. And, like BuzzFlash, he believes that the Bush administration is letting the country that is the largest financial and religious sect supporter of terrorism get away with it, while attacking Iraq, which only had the most tangential involvement with terrorism. His book, "Sleeping with the Devil: How Washington Sold Our Soul for Saudi Crude," adds to a growing list of evidence that the Bush administration is conducting a war on terror that is politically calculated.
I think that if there was any kind of cover up of 9/11 it was that the Saudis knew about the plot, and how could they not know, and decided not to tell the U.S. because Bush was ignoring the Palestinian issue completely and making their lives difficult. Just the first in a long string of Bush Administration miscalculations. That is why the blame for 9/11 rests squarely on Bush the decider. He was just too damn naïve about the world to try and run it and the victims of 9/11 paid for his stupidity plain and simple.
Just saw the movie "The Kingdom". Good movie showing life for westerners inside the "walls" of Saudi Arabia. Gotta love those peaceful muslims that yell out, "Allah Akbar" (God is great) before they blow themselves up for this cult religion. Just remember, "true" islam was here WELL before Bush and will be WELL After Bush. It is the cause of over 95% of the world's wars and conflicts because to be a GOOD muslim, you must convert, enslave or FIGHT non-believers of islam. unfortunately, apologists of islam have no will nor resolve to call a "spade a spade"...hence, we may lose this war against the worst filth on the face of this earth.
Being a pragmatic realist, a lot of what I just read is bile and tripe. When the barn doors are left open the animals run away or in this case they run inside the barn. The damage has already been done and is irreversible, not unlike global warming. Rampant overpopulation of homo sapiens is a pestilence and the cause of our global dilemma. Severely reducing population growth is the ony answer. Our species has turned the planet into a cesspool. I side with the tree huggers and bunny lovers.
Even the lemmings of Labador know how to keep the gene sequence replicating. They run into the sea when the food supply runs out. The smart ones stand back and watch.
Old Dan, Your question goes back to the old question of why the chicken crossed the road. The answer is to get to the other side. In the case of the chicken they become road kill. In the case of the lemming they become shark bait.
Here you go Dan have a read all about the Lemming Myth http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/lemmings.asp http://www.abc.net.au/science/k2/moments/s1081903.htm http://www.athropolis.com/arctic-facts/fact-lemming-jump.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmings
