Thread: Reality sets in

    Reality sets in

    It is being reported that some Islamic countries are showing support for the U.S. Of course, this after a blunt message (as reported on Fox) that you are "either with us or against us"...

    CYA action on the part of some it would seem...smart move...

    Iran (Iran! ) observed a moment of silence to commemorate the victims of Tuesday's attack before the start of a World Cup qualifying match today. Hopefully, there is a "silent majority" in the Muslim world who will no longer remain silent about evil committed in the name of Allah. Good will come out of this. It must.

    I would agree. Either they become part of the solution, or as far as I'm concerned they are part of the problem. This of course needs to be differentiated BEFORE we start bombing someone.

    But once determined you won't see me shed a tear when the bombs start dropping all over Kabul, etc.

    I agree completely. Arafat always has condolences for Israeli victims right before he orders more to be killed.

    It was reported after the blunt message, but he support was already there. The vast majority of Muslims are not like the terrorist. Here in North Texas, there have been shots fired and fires started at Mosques. Do you think the members there are terrorists? CYA action? Yes, perhaps after seeing that they were going to get blamed for something they had nothing to do with, they made it a point to get the word out. What would you have them do? Remain silent and take discrimintory acts as just one of those things?
    Some people will do nearly anything in order to be able to not do anything.

    For many, you're probably right. However, remember that true Islam does not take this fundamentalist approach to innocent life, nor to suicide. A good Moslem would never do what these "religious extremists" did.

    rev-ed is right on the money. Turkish people are mostly Muslim and they are some of the most friendly people in the world who I can guarantee are boiling mad at the extremists who used Islam as a shield, for what happened Tuesday! Iran however.....

    Afganistan Islamic fundamentalists are calling for all muslims to wage a holy war against the U.S. if it attacks Afganistan.

    didn't Saddam ask for the same thing?
    "IRL" ... what IS that anyway?

    First, this has nothing to do with Islam. This has everything to do with mass murderers. Second, if these madmen and women are willing to die in order to kill innocent humans then we might consider this option. WE will kill Everybody in your family mr. Terrorist once we find out you were involved. Women, children, cousins,anyone. If you think suicide is good enough for you then it must be good enough for your families. Your act will result in your families never being able to reproduce another madman. War is **** .
