September 15, 2001 -- Boxing legend Muhammad Ali, in "anguish" over the horrific terror attacks, says that if the mass killers are fellow Muslims, they're a disgrace to his religion.

"These radicals are doing things that God is against," the 59-year-old Ali said in a statement written after the destruction of the World Trade Center.

Screw Ali.

I'm a huge boxing fan but he was quite vocal against the government during the Vietnam war. As I recall, he called Joe Frazer an Uncle Tom.

No, YOU are ignorant.

People with ties to terrorist groups were allowed to come here thanks to the Impached Rapist and with the blessings of all the PC lefties in the name of "tolerance".

Happy now?

The truly ignorant blame the innocent for the crimes of the guilty. It's easy and cheap to blame an entire religion for the actions of a few. Hitler used that technique with great success.

You want horror? How about Clinton shaking Arafat's hand on the front lawn of the White House. Choke on that, Slap Nuts.

I'm not blaming all Muslims. I'm blaming the PC crap that overlooks terrorist ties so as not to appear "racist" or "intolerant", thus compromising national security for PC ideology.

I wonder how many bleeding hearts would be willing to board a plane right now with lots of Muslim men on board? Not many, I bet. They just like to talk the talk.

Depends on the Muslims. But I'm not flying again unarmed. That's suicide.

I refer you to post #17 and add that I already know I won't make it to heaven because I'm a sinner, but I'll be waiting at the gates of hell for scumbags like Osama.

'It's easy and cheap to blame an entire religion for the actions of a few'- Obviously you've never read the Koran. Personally, I wouldn't p*ss down a Muslim's throat if their heart was on fire after the WTC bombing and I mean that sincerely.

I am. Read the book and you'll see what we're talking about. I'd give them the same choice they'd give us: Convert or die.

And how would we know? Should we ask them if they plan to hijack the plane?

My original point stands. I think you should read my original post. BTW, I am in an interfaith marriage and my spouse and I agree on this point.

The bleeding hearts I know were quite content to hate McVeigh and by extension blame all militia/gun owning groups for THEIR beliefs. Now they are saying "don't just all by the actions of a few". Where was their indignation then?

Your ignorance of religion is astonishing. Let's see: Jews are evil, greedy, etc., etc. and therefore we should kill them all. Sounds similar. That's what leads to genocide. Would you have us take all Muslims and start shooting them? After a short period of time, you would find that shooting is too slow and messy. You would then find out that you need to gas them (you can't nuke all Muslims because it makes up a significant number of Americans. No bombing our own cities - unless you are Saddam). Hence, you would need to round them up in special camps first. Trains are good transport mechanisms: cheap cost per person carried. Cattle cars work best.

This kind of religious intolerance is unacceptable.

For your information, Islam says that Mohammed was the last prophet of God. Islam accepts the Jewish and Christian tenets as parts of its religion but feels that Christ was not the last word of God. Allah is another word for the same God that the Christians worship. The issue that throws most Christians off is that Christianity is solely a religion: Islam is not. Mohammed was not only a religious leader but also a military and political leader. hence, Muslims do not view politics and military separately from religion. Makes it more complex and difficult to understand.

Am I a Muslim? No. Degree in history and a lot of classes on Islamic history. And also a lot of classes on the Holocaust. Education cna be a good thing but why let that stop your rantings. Organize some people, put on a common uniform (my suggestion: brown shorts, black boots), and throw a Muslim killing party.

I am first in line to say torch the terrorists but let's be careful about blaming an entire religion for what has happened. The world has been down that path before...many times. It leads to genocide. Which, assuming you are Christian, is wrong.
