The Next Crusade

The Danish embassy has been set on fire in Damascus. (top right) And the picture below is of Hamas militants in Gaza who attacked the European Union HQ and a French cultural center.

Hamas militants? Wait, isn't Hamas the ruling party in Palestine now? When thugs in masks aligned with a sitting government commit acts like these it looks like state sponsored terrorism to me.

And let's not forget it wasn't all that long ago that Paris was burning and it had nothing to do with any cartoons. There is a significant radical element within Islam now and they seem to have no problem stirring up the masses of many other would be moderate Muslims to, not simply protest, but attack, loot, murder and burn.

Sorry, but the world is looking one good Crusade away from a larger world peace right now. And if it's going to have to happen, I say, bring it on.

Europe and the West should take off the gloves and start showing criminals how they will be dealt with when they engage in this outrageous behavior.

The time for hand wringing, appeasement, apology and political correctness should be over. If these people are so intent on having a piece of us, I say we give it to them. Let's get it on.

Rather we do it now or do it later, we're going to do it.

I couldn't agree more. Bring it on. Time to get it over with. These fanatics just signed themselves a one-way ticket to hell.

You have to be careful when saying that the state sponsored terrorism. Yes it seems that way but they weren’t under a good rule, and desperate people can be easily swaged to vote for a group that give the promise of a better life. It seems the people made a bad decision but you cant under estimate the power of the survival instinct.

yes! people like to blame what is being done, saying its the cartoons, its the war in Iraq. People forget that the same terrorist group tried to take down the twin towers in the 70s - long before there was any war. You cant blame violent actions on cartoons.

It is sad and disturbing the way that they seem to gang together, feeding off each other when its most likely a small bunch to start them off. But a lot of Muslims must feel caught in the middle. They live by their religion but hate the fact that other Muslims use it as a reason to destroy and murder, but a fact you cant ignore is that its a religion that teaches violence by saying in the Koran that they are well in their rights to kill people who don’t follow their beliefs.

I also find it hypocritical that some cartoons that have previously been published in the east have mocked other religions (for example Jewish leaders and the holocaust.) It would seem many Muslims what our freedom of speech but do not want us to have the same luxury.

Maybe it is about time that the regular, everyday muslims, all over the world, start speaking out against this kind of behavior. They have to stop some from using their religion as an excuse to wage war on anyone who they perceive disagrees with them and their beliefs. They are the people who can stop this from excalating. They are the one who have a major steak in how the world views islam.

The United States should start keeping some of our hard earned money in its pockets. If it is not a demeocracy or a form of a democracy, don't give it money. Period. They may get money from other "benefactors" but, having money taken away will leave a hole.

These people are deranged. It's a cartoon, that's wrong!!..oh, but wait, hanging suspected spies by meathooks, raping women, killing men at random, abducting young boys for your cause is okay.

These people are nuts! (Not to mention arrogant.) They just look for something to fight about. It's in their blood. Has been for thousands of years and it isn't going to change. They'll only get more sophisticated in their techniques.

Everyone participating in this riot and building burning should be arrested and locked up. Are they doing this? This is what prisons are for! They are endangering everyone's lives in the vicinity. IF they won't be caught - shoot them! Oh my, I am such a pacifist normally. Didn't know I had it in me.

[nuke]

On December 7, 1941 we were attacked by Japanese, not sneak attack bombers.
On September 11, 2001 we were attacked by Muslims, not terrorists.
The leftists running this country lied to the socialist sheeple then and now. They did a great job of working with the MSM to cease showing the events of 911. Now they work together to protect the enemy within.

[CitizenDick]

Crusade? Gotta use a better term than that. The Christians lost all but one of the Crusades.

Oh, and "nuke" - you probably haven't read the history, but the Republicans were isolationist before Pearl Harbor. They didn't want to get involved in "Europe's War". FDR did manage to get Lend-Lease going to supply equipment, but the conservatives were isolationist and so was most of Amererica until that fateful day.

Congrats Dan. It took you a few posts, but I think you have successfuly sirred up some serious racism.

[Althor]

It is indeed a sad day for Western Civilization, and in particular for the people of Scandinavia, that we all have become so "emasculated," and "Politically Correct" that we allow these Islamist thugs to tell us what we can say or not say in our own houses, and proceed to impinge on the Sovereign territories of our Embassies and burn them with impunity!!!

How different from our Viking Forefathers, the sight of whose sails in the horizon sent fear into the hearts of these very same people, and sent them scurrying like rats!!!

Mulder,

You think Dan stirred up this 'racism'? Wow.

You've hit the nail on the head. The sane muslins must stand up and condem the behavior of the fanatics.

U.S. must stop sending over their taxpayers hard earned money to be used against us. We should have learned from 9/11, the do gooders must realize that fanatics are without reason, and based their actions on RELIGION.

Anything to keep them front and center, the good peace loving people of the MIDEAST must now stand up and say enough...

[Althor]

I was watching the reports of the riots and the demonstrations on TV, and they showed one of the demonstrations that took place in London. One of the signs read: " THE WAR ON TERROR IS A WAR ON ISLAM."

Apparently the Muslim protester carrying the sign believes that all this violence and intolerance are an integral part of Islam. It was not a "Westerner" bigot who was saying it. No one could have framed the essence of this cultural conflict better or more bluntly precisely!

So perhaps we should stop deluding ourselves with this noble notion of one Islam of suicide bombers, beheadings, violence, and extremism, and another which is a so called "Religion of Peace."

Is perhaps the reason there is very little outcry if any against all these atrocities from "moderate Muslims," as so many wonder in their delusions, that both Islams are one and the same, and we are the ones that in our multicultural, politically correct wishful thinking, have
created in our eyes this illusion of that fictional, embellished "Religion of Peace"?!?!

Well said, Althor.

Well, it want be long now til World War 3.
The holy war those bastards want.
Its looming. Not doubt.

I want to know ,specifically, what Dan meant by: "I say we give it to them. Let's get it on."

[Dayo Gould]

Could the foregoing possibly explain your forcefully expressed disenchantment with and rejection of the blandishments offered by Islam through its agent-on-Earth, K. Holt?

Had I invested the considerable time, mental effort and hard-earned cash required to master the intricacies of becoming a polyglot person who also knows the location of clean, publicly accessible restrooms in far-off Montivideo, I, too, would not be too enamoured of a religion that guarantees the same results just by the suppression of natural disbelief and a weekly transfer of capital.

Joining the ranks of the Nation of Islam is undoubtedly a bit more difficult than getting a visa for Uruguay or learning the Amheric word and pronounciation for 'oops', but is not that as it should be, Mr. Keyes?

Does not the Muslim faith guarantee you and your forbears (provided the appropriate fees have been paid) life eternal in the afterlife and, if you opt for one of the fundamentalist sects, a chance to dabble within this lifetime in the arcane art of conversing (and cohabiting) with a plethora of adolescent soulmates?

You can't take your money with you; you seldom hear foreign language skills exhibited by American-born residents in American nursing homes; and there never were clean, public restrooms in Montivideo.

Embrace that which is offered, Thomas. Live life to its fullest, as a sour-grapes attitude does not become you.

Read the sentence prior to the "let's give it to them".........

[moldy]

I mean specifically. Bomb someone? Who? The entire middle east?

[Fab]

Almost all these people are brainwashed to hate the west.
This rather insignificant cartoon is just being used as an excuse.
Why would they attack the cristian comunity over there. They are not even Danish.

[Hobo]

Althor, your assertion that perhaps the two Islams are indeed, one is actually a reality. One group goes ballistic and creates chaow and destruction while the other sits around and wrings it hands. I am bewildered about one thing: the religion has Imams who declare 'fatwas', but no one seems to respect them. Then, the Imams are murdered in their homes , on the street, or even in the Mosque, being targeted by some insider that they are enemies. Someone once coined a phrase "where there is smoke, there's fire." I'm beginning to think that all we have been seeing thus far is the smoke.

I think you should tell them your address Dan. Then they can

It seems that in the midst of all this worldwide upheaval and controversy about the Mohammed cartoons, the American newspaper industry, no doubt encouraged by the tepid response to the events from our State Department, and out of “respect” for Mohammed, has decided that discretion is the greater part of valor, and have not published the aforementioned cartoons in any American publication.

There are those that will say that they have not done so to avoid becoming the targets of the ire of the Islamofacists, and be subjected to death threats, suicide bombing attacks, arson and the like. Others that they just simply did not wanted to throw more “fuel into the fire.”

However, I’m of the opinion that our having had the courage to re-print them (last I heard I think we still had “Freedom of Speech” in this country), which apparently we haven’t, as have so many other nations throughout the world, would not have made much of a difference to the security of our cities, which have not been attacked again since 9/11 not because of the restraint or benevolence of Osama, the Islamofacists, and the terrorists, who hate us now even more than ever, and not only wish to nuke every city in America (along with Israel) off the face of the earth, but are desperately trying to develop the means of doing so, but because they have been thwarted by our heightened vigilance, and aggressive terrorist counter-measures, as the NSA wire-tapping, that the Department of Homeland Security, the CIA, the FBI, and other of our espionage agencies have implemented since then; nor increased the danger to our troops any more than the inflaming, scandalizing , and demagoguery on the Press by the Left and the Democrats , of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, and the alleged Guantanamo, Koran toilet paper incidents, already have, which not only exacerbated the violence in Iraq but cost the lives of many, which should make very proud those “righteous” persons responsible from making such incidents public, who are as much RESPONSIBLE for the resulting deaths, as those who behead Nicholas Berg!!!

But now, to take the cake, it seems that there are some Left wing nuts and some Democrats, who would not only stop at this cowardly restraint on the part of our Press, but want to pass “Legislation” prohibiting “disrespect to Mohammed,” alleging that the very same “First Amendment” behind which they hide to call the United States a “Terrorist Nation” because of the War in Iraq, and President Bush a “...worse Terrorist than Bin Laden,” to openly denigrate the men and women of our Armed Forces, and soil the Hallowed Memory of those Fallen in this conflict, to call and shout for our defeat and withdrawal, and that have engaged in every imaginable sedition, and aiding and abetting of the enemy short of active, “physical,” aid, “does not provide for the freedom to disrespect someone’s beliefs”!!!

This from the very same people that cannot abide any obscure, barely legible and overgrown, granite monument, donated decades ago by the Fraternal Order of Eagles, of the “Ten Commandments” anywhere near a Courthouse, who have vehemently fought to remove “In God We Trust” from our currency, God from the Pledge of Allegiance, who have made of Christmas the “Winter Solstice Holiday,” and that viciously attack and repress anything that even remotely smacks of “Christianity” !!!

So, it seems that if these individuals get their way while every trace of our Judeo - Christian Traditions will be completely obliterated from the public forum, and Jesus is made into the subject of irreverent Rock Operas, lampooned in South Park cartoons on TV, mocked by the impersonation of Rapper Punks, and maligned, denigrated and insulted in every imaginable manner, yet by law, wether we believe in him or not, will be forced to “respect” Mohammed!!!

In the face of this travesty, one must ask: with “Friends” like these in America, particularly in Washington, who needs Jihadist enemies??? Bin Laden must be cracking up with laughter and delight!
