Let's call them what they are and quit pussyfooting around. The terrorists who are kidnapping and bombing and hijacking around the world are Islamic fascists. They are a minority who have hijacked one of the world's great religions and now besmirch the tenets of that noble faith. They are ready to kill anyone they find who doesn't believe in the same extreme doctrines they've had pumped into their heads. They call their enemies infidels who should die. And to learn how to kill us, they've taken training at the same al-Qaida terror camps.
The Chechens who took over a grade school and killed innocent women and children are Islamic fascists, and it's time we start calling them by their rightful name. They received their indoctrination in al-Qaida camps. They use the same cowardly tactics their brothers did when they hijacked airlines filled with innocent Americans and flew them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and that field in Pennsylvania.
These extremist Muslims have no respect for women, children or life itself. Make no mistake on this: They are intent on killing as many people as possible to get their way. They've caused death and destruction for decades -- most recently in a Moscow theater, on a train in Spain, on Russian passenger jets, and in town squares. They've beheaded -- and videotaped the beheadings -- of reporters and workers. They've killed innocent workers from around the world and bragged about it on tape. They've taken over mosques from which they've shot at soldiers in Iraq, hoping the soldiers would storm the holy places they've so defiled themselves. Even France, which has tried to placate these extremists, is now in fear of their attack.
But the taking over of a school in Beslan is the final straw for this reporter. Hooding their faces from identification while herding mothers, children and tiny infants into a school gymnasium -- and ending up killing them while attempting to escape -- is pure evil. This was their attempt to pressure Russia into releasing their fellow extremists from prison. It showed the world these cowardly bullies will stop at nothing to get what they want: the bending of the world to their warped beliefs.
When I was a child we had a bully in our neighborhood. He would take our candy after we left the sweet shop. He would push us off our bikes for fun. He would chase us down streets to get the few coins we might have in our pockets. None of us told our parents about this bully -- partly because we feared his revenge, and partly because we feared our parents wouldn't let us out of the house if they knew such a bully was in the neighborhood.
Because we didn't name him to those who could have acted against him, he continued to bully us. We'd try to walk or ride our bikes together for safety, but there was always that inevitable time when we'd have to split up and go the last two or three blocks home alone. That's when he would hit us.
His bullying went on nearly a full summer one year, until he did something that united us all. He dug a 3-foot-deep hole between second and third base on our sand lot baseball diamond. He covered the hole with an old T-shirt, some dirt and leaves so that no one could see it before one of us hit a line drive and ran the bases. I still remember the high-pitched scream when my friend Paul's left leg went into the hole while his right leg dug ahead at full pace. His leg was badly broken inside the hole the bully had dug. We knew it was the bully's work. We also knew it was time to name him.
Paul went to the hospital to have his leg set in a cast. When he came home we all told our parents what had happened and what had been happening all summer. We showed his shirt to our parents and they took over from there. The bully's days were over.
It took a broken leg to unite us in our purpose to name the bully and go after him and stop him.
The massacre of innocents in this school gymnasium should be enough now to unite the world to name the bullies the world faces -- Islamic fascists -- and go after them. That's what it's going to take now. We know who the enemy is. We know they want to kill Americans and Spaniards and Turks and French and Filipinos and Italians and Israelis and anyone who isn't a Muslim extremist.
Now that we know who they are and what they are, it's time for everyone to unite to stop them.
Even France should be ready to join the effort to call them what they are and stop them.
Islam-list
If people want on or off this list, please let me know.
Yes, we know.
The world should have united against the bullies after 9-11 but it didn't. This horrific attack on Russian children shows us what extremist Islam is all about. But, we have known what monsters they are since the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center.
Noble faith, yeah right:
Qur’an 9:112 “The Believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, kill and are killed.”
Qur’an 9:29 “Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission.”
Ishaq:325 “Muslims, fight in Allah’s Cause. Stand firm and you will prosper. Help the Prophet, obey him, give him your allegiance, and your religion will be victorious.”
Qur’an 8:39 “Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah.”

The muslim cult is satanic. The koran promotes killing the unfaithful.
This group is a plague on the world.
It's just a twist of fate that this particular religion is the one most prone to hijacking./s
The people of Beslan need our help. Their children and granchildren have been murdered, hundreds are maimed (without eyes, limbs, badly burned due to the Wahhabist bombs) and this is a poor area of Russia with few medical and economic resources. One way to help is on the website of www.moscowhelp.org. This is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit recognized by the IRS and all of the donations raised by it go directly to those who need it most: the victims and their families in Russia. They have a track record: they raised several hundred thousand for the victims of the terrorist attack on the Nord-Ost theater (this is all on the website) . We cannot sit by and do nothing when our Russian Orthodox brothers and sisters are suffering (one family lost four daughters, one man lost six grandchildren, children were raped, shot in the back while fleeing, their parents shot by the devils in front of their very eyes). The perpetrators are the very louts who killed 3,000 Americans nearly three years ago in September. Fight back against the animals by helping those they so grievously wounded. Give what you can; you can see the list of donors on-site; just click on donations. So far, they have raised $150,000 in the US and I understand that ALL of it (no administrative or salary costs) will go to the families of this atrocity.
I agree, knighthawk, but even on FR people can't agree that this should be done--out of fear of harming "innocents." Alas, in every war, innocents die. It looks like it's going to be a case of "our innocents, or their innocents."
Would someone please backup this claim. Making such a statement tells me there is some 'brainwashing' going on, and we are 'filtering' out what may be the real threat. That being it's leaders, almost to the man, that are behind the mayhem.
Let's call them what they are and quit pussyfooting around. The terrorists who are kidnapping and bombing and hijacking around the world are Muslims
I submit that Islam is Anti-American because it is essentially mind control. Just go to this site and read how the "followers" basically give ever life decision to the Imams. The Imams control everything and if they were to tell all the IslmoNazis to stop tomorrow they would stop.
a little late to the dance
Not all Nazis or Germans in general actually gassed people in the concentration camps, massacred civilians or committed other atrocities and war crimes, but they aided and abetted those who did by keeping silent, by being good party members and by supporting the Nazi war effort. We had no moral problem with bombing German cities in an all out effort to end Nazism. We need to end Islam with the same resolve we had to end Nazism.
"Noble faith?"
No, Mary, these atrocities are committed by the ones WHO DO BELIEVE THE "TENETS OF THAT NOBLE FAITH!"
It's been said that an isalmic fundamentalist will kill you, a "moderate" moslem just wants you dead. That's one of the reasons that islam was declared illegal in the U.S. in 1892. (Of course, that was an age where there was more spiritual awareness than we have today.)
Otherwise, a pretty good article.
Dear Principal:
The children of Beslan need our help. They need to know that children of other nations care about them. Some time ago, President Bush had asked for donations to the Iraqi children. Now, we should do the same for the children of Beslan.
Can we please ask for donations so that the children can have their school rebuilt? My sisters and I have included money from our allowances and would like to send this to the Embassy of the Russian Federation in the USA, to the victims of Beslan attack, 2650 Wisconsin Ave., NW, Washington DC 20007.
To the Children of Beslan:
We are the children of St. Thomas. Even though we speak a different language, live in a different nation, and may have a different religion, we are children like you, and we care about what happened to you, your school, and fellow classmates. We would like to make a difference by helping you. Please accept our contribution toward rebuilding your school. When we graduate, we can work together to make the world a safer place.
Your brothers and Sisters,
The Children of St. Thomas
No fooling. Talk about being behind the curve. Where has this idiot been for the last several years?
