The Arab Mind (believe in this insane concept of martyrdom and violence)

Well, it did not take long for the case of the two MIAs to end: They were brutally tortured and then apparently beheaded by the new head of al-Qaida in Iraq.

Perhaps this is their (demented) view of payback for our killing al-Zarqawi two weeks ago. Whatever it is, it further illustrates the brutality of the militant Muslim enemy that we face across the world. And it needs to be made clear that while most Muslims do not behave this way - indeed the overwhelming majority do not - that majority for whatever reason also does not condemn it.

However, the Iraqi government - elected thanks to the courage and sacrifice of our soldiers and taxpayers - seems incapable or unwilling to crack down on these militants.

In fact, many of these murderers are actually members of the Iraqi Army by day, and then at night maraud as Muslim militia members sometimes even killing their own fellow Army troops!

Today's abduction and murder of one of Saddam's lawyers is a case in point: He was abducted from his house by Iraqis wearing police uniforms - and then hours later he was found shot to death and dumped on the street in the Shi'a part of Baghdad.

This is a daily occurrence in Iraq. These militants play both sides of the game - and can't be trusted.

Now, as to our ultimate game plan in Iraq:

"They are devout Muslims who do not want Christian and Jewish American troops on their soil for any longer than necessary."

The Muslims (after how long now?) must know that our presence there is their last, best and maybe their only hope to finally get it right. All the coalition efforts and all the world attention, all the assistance and good will of everyone involved will mean nothing if they insist on reverting to type. Sadam (the ham fisted butcher) was where, who and how he was because their inability to stand together for ANYTHING permitted him (or anyone like him) to take advantage of their divisiveness. Are they really too stupid to see that is where they will return if they do not consolidate their gains before we go? Their political and social immaturity is something they need to put down, like a boat anchor, and walk away from before they can succeed.

Long past time to resurrect Vlad the Impaler.

“To sum up: the Arab has borrowed everything from other nations, literature, art, science, and even his religious ideas. He has passed it all through the sieve of his own narrow mind, and being incapable of rising to high philosophic conceptions, he has distorted, mutilated and desiccated everything. This destructive influence explains the decadence of Musulman nations and their powerlessness to break away from barbarism…”

Thanks for the link!

"...all people have the potential to act differently, regardless of faith, ethnicity, culture, etc."

Pity the children...


“The deadening influence of Islam is well demonstrated by the way in which the Musulman comports himself at different stages of his life. In his early childhood, when
the religion has not as yet impregnated his brain, he shows a very lively intelligence and remarkably open mind, accessible to ideas of every kind; but, in proportion as he grows up, and as, through the system of his education, Islam lays hold of him and envelops him, his brain seems to shut up, his judgment to become atrophied, and his intelligence to be stricken by paralysis and irremediable degeneration.”

Their brainwashing begins at birth. When a newborn opens its eyes, the father must recite a koranic verse to the babe, and from then on, the indoctrination never stops.

"This is a daily occurrence in Iraq. These militants play both sides of the game - and can't be trusted. "

I believe that is a typo.

It should read: "These MUSLIMS play both sides of the game - and can't be trusted."

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

"that majority for whatever reason also does not condemn it.

And certainly never show any inclination whatsoever to root out an kill the murderers among them. I can only conclude that they are quite satisfied with what is happening."

And more and more people are getting fed up with their constant whining about "profiling" and "defamation" a la the ACLU, yet not distancing themselves from the barbarians who claim to be the true representatives of their faith with anything more than a mealymouthed "we don't condone terror".

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

"...I doubt we have even begun to damage to the hideous ideology that fuels this war."

I believe that the longer "peaceful Muslims" go without vehemently separating themselves from overt murderers the more people are going to recognize the ridiculousness of claims that Allah and the God of the Bible are one-in-the-same, and come to openly admit that Islam is a cult of death and destruction-- pressure to be politically correct notwithstanding.

In fact, the falling of this part of the politically correct veil may go a long way toward exposing the carefully crafted bizarro parallel universe the MSM and liberalism have been working for nearly to suck their "enlightened" masses into.

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

"Are they really too stupid to see that is where they will return if they do not consolidate their gains before we go?"

Is that intended to be a rhetorical question?

The last I heard they hadn't renounced Islam.

Children in Danger: Begging for Teachers

UN Integrated Regional Information Networks NEWS June 16, 2006 Posted to the web June 16, 2006 Dakar

When Ibrahima Sow turned five, he was sent away to a religious school - or daara - to learn about Islam and memorise the Koran. Forced to beg to pay his teachers and to feed himself, and beaten whenever he returned empty-handed, he finally ran away from the daara.

Small boys begging as "talibes", or disciples of a marabout teacher, are a common sight at street corners across Senegal. The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) estimated in 2004 that there were as many as 100,000 child beggars in the country - about one percent of the population - and that talibe children were the vast majority.

Today, Ibrahima Sow is 16 years old. The following is the story of much of his childhood as he recounted it to IRIN:

"I stayed a long time at the daara. I don't know exactly how long, but I'm sure I was there for more than three years.

At the daara I used to get up at 6 a.m. and go out to beg for my breakfast as there was no food there. At 9 o'clock I'd return to learn the Koran until 1 p.m., when I'd go back out to beg for my midday meal. I'd return to the daara at 3 p.m. and stay in class until 5.

It was at 5 p.m. everyday that I had to turn over all the cash begged that day. There was no amount set but when we came back empty-handed we were beaten. They only let us buy food if we brought back a lot of money. Otherwise we didn't eat.

The toughest times were when the marabout teacher was away, because then the oldest talibes were left in charge. There were only five or six of them but they didn't treat us well. That's why I ran away from the daara.

After running off I lived on the streets for two or three months. Sleeping rough wasn't easy but I was never scared. I used to sleep under trucks or buses at bus stations. I'd chase away anyone who was already there to get some space.

I used to beg and steal and I was never caught, except for once. I was in Rufisque, outside Dakar. Me and a friend stole a cellphone and the owner saw us. He caught us and heated up a fork and a knife and then applied them to our skin. I still have burn marks on the stomach, chest, left arm and bottom.

One day I sniffed paint solvent with a gang of friends. We put the stuff on a rag and mixed it with fresh mint to hide the smell. It had no effect on me so I threw away the rag and never tried again.

I used to make love to younger boys but nobody ever did it to me. I had seen Thierno, a friend of mine who's leader of a gang of street kids, do it. So I tried. But I dropped all that when I came to live in the shelter in Pikine run by Village Pilote [an NGO that works with street children in the suburbs of the capital Dakar].

After a few months at the refuge I ran away one day because I didn't want to go to reading and writing class. One of the workers, David, tried to force me. When I refused, he pulled me by the arm to talk to me but I threw away my books and paper and fled. I lived on the street for 10 days until I bumped into a talibe who had been entrusted to my marabout teacher. He forced me to go back to the daara in where my teacher gave me some money to go home.

I finally made it to my village, Mban, three months ago. Now I work as a shepherd with my cousin.

I'd like to go back to the city, not to live on the street but to look for work, earn some money, buy sheep and bring them back to the village and raise them. But I have no choice but to stay here. My father has died and I must now help my mother who still has to bring up my two little sisters and my little brother. As the oldest I'm now in charge of the whole family and I must be responsible."

Unless, of course, you are like the Muslims I know. Some people accuse them of not really being Muslims, because they don't act in an expected manner, even though they've always thought they were.

#28 I bet all people have the potential to act differently, regardless of faith, ethnicity, culture, etc.

#53 ???

Potential? How much opportunity did Ibrahima Sow have to realize his potential...or how much potential does that starving child have - the one on his hands and knees - as the muslim male walks past him carrying a bag of food?

Islam destroys potential. That's the faith, the ethnicity, the culture of islam.

'Islam was not a torch, as has been claimed, but an extinguisher. Conceived in a barbarous brain for the use of a barbarous people, it was-and it remains-incapable of adapting itself to civiliza­tion. Wherever it has dominated, it has broken the impulse towards progress and checked the evolution of society.'

"Unless, of course, you are like the Muslims I know..."

Now it's my turn.

[stuartcr]

As you have read, my #28 was in response to #19s'...."most" muslims do not act this way, they all have the potential to.

[stuartcr]

OK, see last paragraph of #46.
