I got some great letters regarding my article about the radical
Moslems who seem to enjoy spreading terror around the world, and
lately, radical Moslems from Chechnya who slaughtered, in cold blood,
innocent children.
I did have two very nasty notes from two individuals, apparently
Moslem. One of them strongly advised me to stop spreading hate.
What hate, I ask?
Hatred for people who are so deranged that even al-Rashed, general
manager of Al-Arabiya television, said: "Most perpetrators of suicide
operations in buses, schools and residential buildings around the
world for the past 10 years have been Muslims". Al-Rashed continued
and went on to say:" Muslims will be unable to cleanse their image
unless we admit the scandalous facts, rather than offer condemnations
or justifications".
Ahmed Bahgat, an Egyptian Islamist, and columnist wrote: "If all
the enemies of Islam united together and decided to harm it ... they
wouldn't have ruined and harmed its image as much as the sons of Islam
have done by their stupidity, miscalculations, and misunderstanding
of the nature of this age".
Grand Sheik Mohammed Sayed Tantawi, was quoted as saying: "You are
taking Islam as a cover and it is a deceptive cover; those who carry
out the kidnappings are criminals.".
But there are outspoken mullahs who demand more death, more bombs
and more horror.
Let us look at your own holy book, the Koran.
Quran Surah 2: The Cow
12. Kill disbelievers wherever you find them. If they attack you,
then kill them. Such is the reward of disbelievers
Quran Surah 4: Women
8. Have no unbelieving friends. Kill the unbelievers wherever you
find them.
Surah 9: Repentance
4. Give tiding of a painful doom to Christians and Jews
I could go on, but the point is, these are the words of your own
people, and of your Koran. And, you think I"m spreading hatred?
What is the world supposed to believe - your words and actions or
your words and actions?
Why should the world not judge all of Islam by the actions and
deeds of her own sons and daughters? If you as a people condone,
aid and support radicals, then you too are a radicals sharing in the
collective goal of killing anyone and everyone.
One Moslem wrote in and condemned me for not using the word Jews and
Christians in my articles. Young man, apparently you have not been
reading my articles so why don"t you take a valium and stand down.
Get the message?
Even in the Arab and Moslem press, your kind express hatred, rabid
hatred, for the United States. You call us the great Satan and a
whole lot of other adjectives that are best spoken by a stable boy.
You don"t separate the US Government from the American people.
You say America. You don"t separate Bush from the rest of America. You
say America.
Why the duel standards? What exactly are the word games you are
playing?
Let"s talk about Armenia - the entire population of Armenia were shot
and killed by the Moslem country of Turkey. Turkey"s actions deeply
impressed the later coming Adolph Hitler.
Anwar Sadat - the most progressive and forward thinking of all Moslem
leaders was assassinated by devout Moslems.
We need to look at a few other things while we are at it. Arafat is
a very wealth man, his wife is supposed to own an entire floor of
some Paris hotel.
Look at the squalor his people live in. Those poor people live in
conditions not even fit for a dog. Don"t blame Israel for that,
look at Arafat who has taken the relief money sent to him to
make his people"s world better and where did that money end up?
Arafat"s pocket, that"s where.
Moslems, who are seeking US citizenship, danced in the streets just
after 9/11. What gives here - they come to this country to have a
better life and they dance when Moslem terrorists take three planes
and slam them into three buildings? Killing innocent people so that
the terrorists could go to heaven, get 72 virgins and deflower every
one of them? Or, was the killing done for the sake of killing -
nothing more, nothing less?
Iraq - a low life dictator, who professed the teachings of Islam,
systematically tortured and killed Moslems. He used poison gas on the
Kurdish population - a population of Moslems. One of his sons took a
fancy to a newly married Moslem woman - shot her new Moslem husband,
raped her, and then shot her.
Look at what Radical Moslems have done in Russia - Russia has been
hit so many times by radical Moslems; I can"t even begin to count.
Now, radical Moslems have stooped lower than even the Nazis and
butchered children. You want to hear that word again? CHILDREN.
Why should the world not judge Islam by the actions and words of
Moslems?
With the killing of innocent children, the radical Moslems have
signed a death warrant on all of Islam. Read what world leaders
are saying - they are expressing much stronger sentiments than I am.
Killing innocent children went too far in the eyes of a world whose
patience is already taxed.
