As an American Muslim, when I read of a skyjacker drinking in a Florida topless bar, I said out loud "that is No True Muslim!" "An imposter trying to hide behind something he doesn't follow!"
But Mr. Farber got his name in print, probably a fee for writing his article, and of course I believe in free speech. That's why I live here.

So where are the true muslims? Every time a muslim explodes his worthless self in an Israeli bus, "moderate" muslims declare him a "non-muslim" even as their obituaries praise them for being "martyrs". By condeming them, I am sure many muslims would declare YOU "an impostor trying to hide behind something you don't follow"
Mohammad Attah, the Skyjacker you refer to was a highly educated man who studied at western universites and spoke several languages. He was a serious islamic scholar. Mohammad Attah dedicated his life to Islam. He memorized the Koran. All his study and education led him to conclude that Allah desired him to kill thousands of Americans.
Having a drink is a moslem sin which in his mind, "allah" would forgive because of his terrorist act against America.
Or take the case of John Walker Lindh. Heres a guy from a completely different background who tries his best to find the heart of islam. His journey led him directly to osama bin laden and a loaded machine gun.
From what I see, your "allah" is a pathetic angry little fictional god.
You can use many words to discribe these 19 people. Among them "Muslim".
Or possibly a Jew in disguise.......you know how those Jews are behind everything /sarcasm
It's also true that the voices of those preaching hate, violence and calling for the destruction of America far outweigh those of people like you. It's not for us unbelievers to decide who's a true one or not. Those who claim they are, are.
Muslims use box cutters to slit the throats of passengers and flight crew and you dont question if they are true Muslims
Muslims slam airplanes into buildings and kill 3,000 innocent people and you dont ask if they are true Muslims.
But:As an American Muslim, when I read of a skyjacker drinking in a Florida topless bar, I said out loud "that is No True Muslim!" "An imposter trying to hide behind something he doesn't follow!"
I understand. You are a true Muslim. What I think of you and your belief is not printable.
Mohammed is burning in Hell.
What happened, the Airbus 300 couldn't get off the ground?
And lo and behold, here it is... "As for the faithful who do good works and believe what is revealed to Muhammad...He will forgive them their sins..." (Surah 47:1)
"Good works" being the throat slitting, hijacking and crashing of the planes, of course. It's all perfectly consistent with the teachings of Mohammed ("seek out your enemies", "kill the infidels", etc.).
If that isn't the religion you signed onto, I suggest you get out immediately.
That you had this reaction only upon learning that this murderer of 3000 innocent people had an alcoholic drink speaks volumes about your faith.
Nor do I, for I don't believe they exist, your protests to the contrary notwithstanding.
If muslims want hate they're going to get it in spades!
...you cannot be trusted, because your koran tells you that all non-islamics are to be reverted or killed. Mr Farber is, unfortunately (as he laments, himself!), correct in his assessment.
My experience, gleaned primarily from living for 7 months in Iran back in the 70's, is that one-on-one y'all are OK. In a group, however, y'all are dangerous, even to yourselves.
I, like Mr Farber, am sorry to have to take this postition but, like the doctor husband character opposite Sally Fields in "Not without my daughter" (a movie - true story - about an American woman married to an Iranian muslim medical doctor who studied and matriculated here in the US), once you are surrounded by your "homies", you revert to the oppressive and violent rules called out by the koran.
Can you say, unequivocally and without reservation, and swear it before your allah, in public, that you would fight for this country or for your neighbor against an islamist jihad?
Better yet, let's just hear you go ahead and make said vow, and keep your hands where we can see them so we can tell you aren't crossing your fingers at the time! In fact, why aren't American muslims, like the American Germans, Italians, and Japanese during WWII, as described factually by Mr Farber, making this promise accross the board and freely? Where are the islamists true loyalties?
Unfortunately, and I truly wish this was NOT the case, I think the answer to that lies in the 9/11 experience, not in the fine-sounding words of one individual muslim not surrounded by his homies!
To all non-islamics anywhere in the world, here's my advice: Stay vigilent and stay armed!
What, both of them?
As an American Muslim, when I read of a skyjacker drinking in a Florida topless bar, I said out loud "that is No True Muslim!"
So it's the topless bar what bothers ya. If the SKYJACKER had instead prayed the night before murdering thousands of people, then his True Muslimness would remain intact in your eyes. Got it.
