U Are a Terrorist

Hugh - there are plenty of us on Active Rain alone.

William- you would have to admit that you are at least in good company

I have heard a lot about it and I still am saying "what!!!!!!"

Kevin - I joined your little party - are we eating cake with the tea???

Nicholas - no apologies necessary

One Nation, Under God

Kevin - thanks for popping back in - I am trying to find my white gloves and a big hat with a feather for the party

Dear Just Saying - sorry to response so slowly but my hubby is in the hospital. I think that Muslim extremeists label themselves by their very acts - regardless of Osama- their goal in life is to wipe out the infidels - read the Koran - actually it is not the extremists, it is any Good Muslim who follows their Muslim faith. That is a group, not just na indivudual.

To quote Bill Jones:

In my current affairs class today we discussed the clash between Islam and the west. Samuel P.Huntingdon's 'clash of civilizations' thesis has been much criticized but our conclusions seemed to bear out his analysis. We agreed that a Muslim country would resist the 'imposition' of democracy by the west- the prophet provides the ultimate authority; not, as the western Enlightenment laid down, the people- just as we would resist the imposition of Islam upon our own secular, liberal societies. Given this incompatibility, why don't we just agree to disagree and leave each other alone? Two reasons.

Firstly Islam is an evangelising faith which seeks to convert 'infidels'. In its-arguably distorted- fundamentalist form it is also a vengeful ideology which seeks to destroy those- like us in the west- who have been recruited into the armies of 'The Great Satan'. Ahmadinejad (pictured) of Iran, claims he wants to 'wipe Israel off the map' and is not loath to repeat such threats. So even if we leave them alone, they will not return the compliment. And while the communists during the Cold War accepted 'peaceful coextistence', the latter strain of Islam uses the openness of the west to send or order its cohorts of suicidal fanatics to wreak havoc and murder.

Secondly, Islam entails practices which will never be acceptable to the West. Nowhere is this more the case than in its treatment of women. BBC Newsnight recently showed an inmate of an Afghan jail, Fatima, explaining how she went seeking a new family home. She went to see a housing agent who locked the door, said she been 'sent from God' and then raped her. When she reported it she was found guilty of adultery and imprisoned; the only way she could have been found innocent was for her attacker to confess or for four witnesses to the rape to come forward. When such desparate violations of human rights so regularly occur with impunity under Islam, the west will never view it as anything other than a cruel and alien creed which can never be tolerated let alone adopted. So, reluctantly, and not of our making, a 'clash of civilisations' it appears to be.

I am Pro-Life does that make me a terroirist - does that mean you are Pro-Death - that would be the opposite.

I am not a racist - I am certailnly aware of one's race  (some of us look like Swedes and some don't) but that doesn't affect how I treat someone.

To quote you:

The fact is no one has tarred any group, the memo only identifies areas of concern. There are perfectly legitimate reasons for targetting right wing racists as terrorist threats. They have a long history going back to reconstruction in the late 1800's of using terrorism to achieve their political ends.

I wonder where you fit in!  Apparently you never served in the military, not a Christian, paranoid, have no extreme political beliefs  that you would ever post on a blog, but want to be regarded as tolerant and filled with love.
