"Al Capone embraced Catholicism, as he killed."
And was repudiated by the majority of those who call themselves Catholics

"Mr. Clinton embraced Christianity, as he lied to his wife."
And was condemmed by pastors and laymen in pulpits throughout the country.

Now please fill in the blank"

"Muslim fanatics hijacked American airliners and flew them into the WTC and Pentagon"

(fill in blank) ---------------------------

We're waiting . . .

His argument has run dry and he's just making things up now... typical Muslim apologetics strategy.

I am sorry to be slow to translate, and we are called to the dinner table. I'm amazed that you know that the NYC terrorists used the English phrase "Praise God". I would have ecpected "Inshallah" but if you know of the equivalency to those terrosts of God / Allah, thank you.

Best to you, Ryan

Taqqiah - decieving the infidels.

Anyway the jihadis were told to blend in and enjoy. They were going to paradise for their service to allah anyway.

What steams me is the argument is made that they weren't real muslims because they went to a strip joint, but not because they were coldblooded murdering scums who would've done us all a favor by dribbling down their mama's thighs instead.

Huh? They said "Allah Akbar"
You aren't even trying to make sense.

once again, perhaps i should clarify:

if you're sympathetic to the vermin that have attacked us, for whatever reason, you are my enemy.

if i should happen to be close enough to witness an attempted terrorist attack on my nation, i will do my best to eradicate the source of same, by whatever means come to hand.

now, that ought to be fairly clear, oughtn't it ?

Gee, sure sounds like a threat. Should I be scared?

It disturbs me greatly when I see "moderate" Muslims attempting to equate OBL with Christians like Falwell, Robertson, and Phelps. Needless to say, the analogy is inaccurate in every conceivable way.

"Can't speak for anyone else, but I for one haven't accused you of fostering hatred or genocide. In fact in my first post to you I thanked you for posting this article"

Meia is having a problem with me. I warned her that her combative style was having the effect of making MORE people honestly want to wipe Islam off the face of the planet, not LESS.

In all my years, I've never seen purposely angering a group of people work as a tool to soften hearts. Additionally, Meia is unable to comprehend that most FReepers don't WANT to kill all Muslims, and we find her posts to be intellectually insulting.

As you can see from Meia's "I don't understand what you mean by that" posts, Meia is either being deliberately and stubbornly obtuse about the damage she's causing, or is just naturally dense.

I think this [the governments of said countries NEED the radicals] is a key to understanding Islam and Muslims.

Yes, but governments don't arise in a vacuum. It is unfortunate but I expect it will take centuries before the culture mellows as it did in the West. In the meantime we will have to protect ourselves in a continuing war of civilization vs. barbarity.

This photograph was seized from Saudi Arabian fighters captured in Crni Vrh near Teslic, Bosnia. A Muslim solder displays the severed head of Blagoje Blagojevic, a Serb from the village of Jasenovo near Teslic. Friend of yours? A role model or mentor, maybe?

"Guess they don't understand the impressions they are creating - or they know perfectly well what they are doing."

Yep. A lot of the crap I've been hearing, which also happened to be the same thing, in concentrated form, coming from the family and "friends" of the The Jokers' yesterday, STINKS of a reverse psy-ops project.

The bulk of them, IMO, are ignorant of the impressions they're creating...it's committing suicide, without the addded bonus of taking innocent kafir with you can bagging 72 bags of pig...err...virgins.

On the other hand, if they want an excuse for starting an intifada in this country - AND THEY DO WANT INTIFADA HERE - then they're succeeding....until we kill them all.

No, it does not mean that all whites are suspected of being serial killers, but it does mean that if you are looking for a serial killer and you detain 80 year old oriental ladies while ignoring all the white males between 20 and 50 you are a fool. If you are looking for a serial killer in this country you look first at young adult white males and when you are looking for a terrorist you look first at young adult middle eastern males.

A trifle paranoid, are you? All Tomkat said was that he'd do his best to eradicate the source of a terrorist attack on The United States (should he happen to witness an attempt). How is that a threat to you unless you plan on participating in such a terrorist attack?

Expect a knock on your door soon.

Can you point out where I have said that Freepers want to kill all muslims?

"I'm amazed that you know that the NYC terrorists used the English phrase "Praise God". I would have ecpected "Inshallah" but if you know of the equivalency to those terrosts of God / Allah, thank you. "

IIRC, the phrase used by the hijackers was "Allah Akbar"

Why?

Are you a linguist?
