Secretary of State Colin L. Powell yesterday questioned the silence of Arab leaders over the beheading of U.S. civilian Nicholas Berg by al Qaeda terrorists.

"I wish I could explain that," Mr. Powell said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "There ought to be outrage. There is anger in the Arab world about some of our actions, but that is no excuse for any silence on the part of any Arab leader for this kind of murder.

But he repeated on Fox News yesterday, by that same standard, the outrage against the killing of Mr. Berg should be equal or greater.


Should be?
you are clearly wasting your breath colin.
They don't have any outrage.
You see it's not really a noble religion of peace.
In fact, they (arabislamistworldleaders) are giving each other high fives behind closed doors, as they jack the price of fuel to pay the salaries of more full time jihadis to kill americans and jews.

even our buddy "the prince."

We have been brought up with the concept, that you should never make any negative comments about any arab muslims (Question 7100 from South Africa )

We have been brought up with the concept, that you should never make any negative comments about any arab muslims. They back this by a saying “the stage a Arab Muslim might reach by descending, an non arab couldn’t reach that stage by elevating (regarding deeni matters).”

ANSWER:7100 2002-11-19

Yes, it is true that you should not despise the Arabs nor talk ill of them. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) was an Arab. It appears in a Hadith that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ‘Love the Arabs for three reasons; I am an Arab, the Qur’aan is in Arabic, and the language of the people of Jannah is Arabic.’ (Mishkaat vol.2 pg.553)

commit acts that violate the teachings of Islam, a noble religion that deplores such acts."

To the contrary...Check out the posting "The Sacred Muslim Practice of Beheading" on 16 May 2004.

Me thinks they speak with forked tongue.

Mohammad personally had 800 or so jews beheaded, and their wives and children sold into slavery. And they call this a religion???

Not.

There is no self correcting feature in Arab culture since "Muslims do not criticize other Muslims".

The only way this jihad crap will stop is if enough damage is done so that Arab leaders demand tolerance not hate is taught at the madrasas for their own well being.

The road to hell is marked with international road signs on how to be "liked" and considered "progressive".
