THE ARAB WORLD'S SOARING DESPAIR

Newark Star Ledger ^ | 1/5/03 | JOHN HASSELL

[Incorrigible]

There are forces afoot in America that plenty of conservative Americans don't like either.  However, we have ways to vent our frustrations through forums like FreeRepublic and in the voting booth (Though the other side does attempt to steal elections).  Perhaps they may wish to do the same instead of suicide bombings and terrorism.

This article was the number one headline in the Star Ledger today.

"There's a sense that the Islamic world is under assault by the West. It's an assault that extends from politics and economics to daily lifestyles and the military. Everywhere you turn, 'the West is out to get us.'"

What a bunch of hokum. The only assault they are under comes from within. Get rid of your own brutal and corrupt regimes and your 'oppression' will be over.

Analysts attribute most of the Arab world's economic woes to an unwillingness to embrace the forces of globalization.

Hmm, if so, they are a little dense. Globalisation works for Muslims - they will be able to settle among shrinking Western populations devastated by secularism, decadence and feminism. In a couple of generations they could replace the kafirs and zimmis without any Jihad. Easy does it.

Interesting, but to be honest I don't give a flip what the Arab world, or for that matter the rest of the world "thinks" about America and Americans. But I do want them to "FEAR" us and I want to see their fears substantiated. Islam is a vile philosophy and the Arabs that practice it are in the main a vile people.

Now do you really want to know what I "think" about them?

Memo to Arabs: If you don't blow up our people, we won't blow up your people.

Arabs should be blowing up the palaces of their own corrupt, murderous leaders.

BTTT.

[Alouette]

only fan more hatred of America and more extremism in the Arab street...

Blah blah blah blah. No matter what we do, it just "enrages the Arab street." All that rage and anger can't be any good for their blood pressure. I say let's keep on enraging them until they drop dead from strokes and heart attacks.

I agree. I love the following warning that I cannot remember which FReeper penned last year:

200 years from now, I want their children's children's children's children to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead because their legends tell of fire from the sky.

I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth, shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.

I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with "If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you", and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obesience.

I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea .. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.

Remove the word humiliation from the Islamic vocabulary and Islam would implode like an infected postulant zit that has been squeezed.

[Bonaparte]

"...They include U.S. support for both Israel and repressive Arab regimes, economic distress in Arab states and friction between modernity and traditional Islam."

He forgot the most important one -- Islam's 1,200-year convert-or-die hatred for Christians and Jews. Islam and it's apologists can deny it all they want, but it's right there in their own "scriptures."

Holy cow, that's good!

I'm sure I am out of touch, but what repressive Arab regimes are we supporting against the will of the people? It that were really a concern, our efforts against repressive regimes in Syria, Iran, and Iraq would be more appreciated.

[BullDog108]

Yeah. I wish I could remember the author. Oh well, plagiarism is the highest form of flattery.... ;^)

[Cannoneer No. 4]

oo-RAH!! Too bad that won't fit on a T-shirt. Liked it so much I blogged it.

[BullDog108]

KeWl! Now I really wish I remembered the FReeper author...

[Uncle Miltie]

"the image of the United States has suffered a major blow in the Middle East from a sense that Washington is ignoring the region's problems and targeting Muslim countries in the war on terrorism. "

Forgot about the Hindu terrorists. And the Zoroastrians, Buddhists, Confucian, and Shinto. What about the pagans, B'hai, and Taoist terrorists? We'd better get busy on all them before we focus on the Muslims. Might make the muslims mad at us.

This is a job for Norm Minetta! Fight terrorism without religious profiling.
