Me too.
And any Moslem condemnation of 9/11 now would be too little, too late. There was a window of opportunity for sincerity. That window is now forever closed.
Had this happened in any other country, mosques would have been burned. Americans didn't want that. Americans didn't want internment. Americans didn't want an end to religious freedoms for Moslems in this country. We wanted humanity. Islam has proven with finality that it fatally lacking in that, but brimming over with ingratitude..
Congratulations, dad! However, I can assure you that if you have been married over three years, your wife is no longer brain washed about your being. . . sliced bread:) Marriage is wonderful--but it does bring about that view of reality that often remains hidden until after the I do's are said! I would love to have a three-year-old around again!!!
And congratulations, granddad!
KanghaRue:
Where do you guys get this stuff from? Robert Morey's "moon god" theory has been pretty much debunked as intellectually dishonest...even among conservative Christians. The reason? It's extremely poor scholarship. The Quran expressly forbids worship of the moon:
Adore not the sun and the moon, but adore God who created them...(Qur'an 41:37).
KanghaRue:
You can't be serious. This is a young girl you're talking about here. She's more interested in things like bottles of Underground Pink nail polish and the hot new CD that just came out. Also, there was a Muslim leader in the US who warned the government about Islamic militants in the US....THREE YEARS ago: Shaikh Kabbani....a Sufi leader.
I'm totally serious. She's 20, she's an adult. I said " it is the everyday Moslems like Miss Rini," and I meant it. Not just her as an exception, but the totality of them. She's not the exception, she's the rule.
When I was 20, I was getting drunk and stoned, but I would have been able to figure out that if someone murdered 5,000 people in my name or that of my faith (such as it was), I had better speak up and condemn it.
Further, I pointed out that Miss Rini is just one symptom of the problem. You counter this with a three year-old warning from "a (single) Muslim leader?" Kangha, I'm sure you can find a few other examples, but there are a billion Moslems in the world.
You've proven my point.
Adore not the sun and the moon, but adore God who created them...(Qur'an 41:37).
Matthew 7:
15
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.16
By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?17
Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.18
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit.19
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."
I believe what this 20 year old girl said. From everyhting she said I believe she is basically a very good person. As I have stated, I have met and become friends with many good people in foreign lands. Many are appalled by what happened ... those who aren't, or who want to make excuses for it have earned my mistrust and ire.
Those who appluad it, deserve our retribution.
I do believe their leadership MUST condemn this openely and with real intent. Some already do, some were raising the warning flag all along ... but not enough.
I believe anyone who participated in the attack and anyone who supported it in any way (monetarily, logistically, safe haven wise, etc.) should be smitten from the face of the earth with no tolerance and no physcial mercy ... may God be the Judge spiritually. Let that trail lead wherever it may, abroad or domestic ... to whatever nation, to whatever government, to whatever institution.
Then we say to the rest ... DON'T EVER EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING IT AGAIN, OR YOU WILL GET EVEN WORSE.
Just ask my teenage kids ... at one time we had four teenagers at once. Down to two now and next year, when the youngest goes 13, our third hits 20 so we'll stay at two and then later one.
On that far slope now with rearing them within the nest ... but it doesn't get downhill as they get older.
Holding a Grandson now ... that's something else again as I have just learned.
