I guess these people have never heard of the concept of balance of powers, as if the whole of America was one gigantic unified action. Yes, those people were innocent, and probably would have helped the muslim cause if they were asked. Morons.

These must not be the peaceful Muslims.

Which once again leads us to an inescapable conclusion: the only way we will ever destroy terrorism (sometimes called "asymmetric" warfare) is to actively replace these cultures that espouse violent opposition to us. This means "change of government ceremonies" imposed at the muzzles of an M1A1 tanks and seeking out and finding these "teachers" among them that get young people filled with this kind of aberrant value system and eliminating them. Then we have to get democracy and prosperity for them, just like we did for Germany and Japan after we readjusted their attitudes.

Some would call this "imperialism", I would call it survival. The only other choice is to wait until they have the kinds of weapon systems that really will eliminate us. Ignoring them will never be a solution.

...no exceptions would be made for unsympathetic Muslims, let alone acquaintances who fall on the wrong side of their rigid view of life and pious mission.

Wonder if this includes (theoretically) those Muslims who left home to study and work in America, despite their "allegiance" to their homeland. Wonder if it includes the homegrown teeny-bopper Islamic fundamentalists who drive fast cars, go to the movies, hang out at the mall, wear fingernail polish, eat fast food, and spew venomous hatred for the land of their birth (America). Do they differentiate between those who profess a love of jihad but stay safely within the bounteously rich society of the West and those who have actually trained at the al Qaeda camps, leaving their homeland behind to fight side-by-side with Osama et al? If the Muslims here were to read that Taliban captive's words, I think they'd be scared for their own lives.

In short, according to moral ciphers like these dopes , if you would save one of them from drowning, he would be perfectly justified in slitting your throat once you were both on shore. The only solution is to kill them before they kill us.

[E.Allen]

Unfortunately, it seems the only options are to either colonize and civilize them................or just kill them all.

[rstevens]

Then what is all this crying about their innocent being killed in collateral damage all about? If everything is fair in war, a war that they declared, and that our civilian killed our not innocent, then BY GOD neither are your's innocent.

These guys consider themselves heroes, fighters, martyrs. We call them................................................................................

The concept of war and honor is gone, the attack of the September 11 was the most dastardly in the history of mankind. As the depth of the act sets in, I must pray that mankind will look kindly to these terrorist. There fate has been determine along with the rest of the muslim world. God be with them.

These guys do seem to be proving Anne Coulter was right!

Ten years later, Afghanistan beckoned another generation of Muslim youth -- this time not to fight Soviet soldiers but to help establish "pure" Islamic states worldwide.

Welcome to modern Islam.

It is not that they wish to be left alone.

It is only complete and global domination that will 'appease' them.

Think: Nazis without the snappy uniforms.

Do not be deceived. This is a spiritual war.

If you want to see some chilling daily "news" each day, check out the online version of the Tehran Times from Iran, www.tehrantimes.com, as it seems to me their propoganda machine is revving up those fanatic Muslims. Here's today's front page "story":

Use of Biological Weapons Against Afghans Possible

TEHRAN TIMES INTL. DESK

TEHRAN Sources in Germany say that the United States is purchasing the components to develop biological and chemical weapons, raising fears of the usage of bio-chemical weapons against Afghans in the current supposed U.S. war against terrorism.

On Tuesday, German Interior Minister Otto Schilly was quoted as saying that Germany exported the weapons' raw materials to the United States. The estimated value of the components was 77 million marks.

In related news, German Defense Minister Rudolf Scharping has stated that Germany's biological and chemical weapon production potential is rapidly increasing.

Fear of attacks in Germany has sparked off a run on gas masks in some areas, a military supply shop manager said Tuesday.

Marianne Ohrem of the NATO shop for German Army supplies in the western city of Duesseldorf said that wholesalers have sold out their gas mask inventories due to dramatically increased demand.

"Since the attacks, we have sold nearly 200 gas masks in Duesseldorf alone," she said, adding that sales had previously averaged two per year.

Duesseldorf has a population of 580,000.

Ohrem said that customers cited fear of chemical or biological attacks when buying the protective gear.

But she acknowledged that she could not guarantee that the masks would offer protection from all dangerous substances.

Meanwhile, Australia's leading authority on terrorism said Tuesday that the anthrax attacks now spreading terror through the United States are unlikely to have had anything to do with Osama bin Laden.

Clive Williams, a specialist in terrorism at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra, said the evidence points to right-wing U.S. militia.

"I think the first instances of it, the ones involving media, were more likely to have been caused by extremist militia in the U.S. who have shown an interest in anthrax in the past and tried to acquire it," he told AFP.

"The subsequent instances were basically copy-cat episodes by mentally unbalanced people, I believe."

Williams, widely acknowledged as Australia's leading authority on the subject, is preparing a graduate course in terrorism for the ABU's Strategic and Defense Studies Center.

Speaking 24 hours after Australia was plunged into chaos and panic because of a series of hoaxes involving "suspicious" packages of white powder, he said Australia, in reality, is in little danger from bio-terrorist attack.

However, up to 16 buildings were evacuated on Monday because of hoax packages and authorities reported dozens more were received on Tuesday.

He said that the U.S. attacks have involved the use of a form of anthrax readily available to scientists and researchers.

A photo editor died on October 5 from respiratory anthrax at American Media Inc. in Boca Raton, Florida.

Three other people who have since developed the disease were employees of media companies, triggering suspicions of a bio-terrorist campaign.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it Joshua who felt compassion and allowed some to live after God told him to destroy them all and not to allow any to live?...and now we have to deal with the results....maybe its time to correct that. Might be time to clean house(Talaban house that is)...destroy them all, their families, pile all their belongings in a pile, and torch it.......

All outside the group is against the group. All outside the group is in and of itself an enemy of the group. Innocent is defined as being part of The Group. Simply to NOT be a member of The Group is to be guilty of everything that the enemy of The Group is trying to do against it. Simply being outside The Group is to be its enemy and worthy of whatever The Group deems necessary to advance its own goals. Combine this thinking with the conviction that everything they are doing they are doing for and with the approval of the supreme moral power and you've got something that represents extreme danger for everyone else in the world.

This is probably partly why a psychologist I knew about 20 years ago said that most Middle Eastern Muslim males could be classified as clinically insane (or course, getting circumcized as an older child (it varies with the Muslim group) and the culture and mentality built up around that probably has a lot to do with that, too). Funny that you don't hear circumcision foes hitting the Muslims for ritual mutilation but only the Jews. Consider, what would the difference be in psychological impact of circumcision on the 8th day (Jews) versus circumcision in childhood (Muslims), the premium being put on submitting to it (Islam=surrender, submission) without showing a sign of pain or suffering, being a celebration that children can hear stories about and grow up anticipating?

[RobbyS]

They don't know us very well. We obviously felt the same about the people in Hiroshima and, if forced to make a choice between our men and their "innocents" would again make the same choice that we did in 1945.

The deaths of at least 229 Kenyans and Tanzanians in car-bomb attacks on the U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam in 1998 were an "accident"

Another thing I despise about the practice of this religion is that it recommends that people become liars as well as murderers.
