Ärende: Islamic Thinkers Society
================================
 JM> Comments?

 Was this original with you? Did a little research cause I hadn't
 heard about it. I found this text on Neal Boortz's site. You
 should identify the source.

 JM> It's probably not on your radar screen today, but some
 JM> group called the Islamic Thinkers Society held a little
 JM> rally outside the Israeli consulate in New York City on
 JM> Friday.  They were carrying signs saying "Islam will
 JM> dominate" and a picture of the Islamic flag flying over the
 JM> White House. They were also yelling chants in Arabic like
 JM> "The mushroom cloud is on its way!  The real holocaust is
 JM> on its way!"


 JM> But .. these people are no threat, right?  They're just
 JM> another group of peaceful Muslims who are just upset
 JM> because of the war in Iraq, right?  Pay them no attention.

 Of course he left out that those shouts were aimed as Israel.
 That and that wanting your religion is no more a crime for
 Muslims than it is for Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell.

 However, if you want to ban that for both I could consider it.
 OTOH, what they said was on the same level was what Ann Coulter
 says... which is pretty bad now that I come to think about it.

 JM> They're just kidding.  Really.  Only a very few Muslims
 JM> feel this way.  In fact ... there are rallies and marches
 JM> by Muslims every day calling for an end to Islamic
 JM> terrorism and a peaceful, cooperative coexistence with all
 JM> of the other religions of the world.

 If you had read the New York Sun, a conservative... IE right
 wing, paper, you would have learned that is a fringe group, with
 a very small membership, and other New York Muslims reject them.

 OTOH, I don't see Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, etc leading any
 such marches from the christian side.

 JM>   Actually, we don't need to be spending all of this money
 JM>   on defense.

 We need to spend more on defense and less on Haliburton.
 Haliburton contributes zip to our national security.

 JM>    We don't need to be working so hard to
 JM>   establish a beachhead of freedom and economic liberty in
 JM>   the Middle East, right?

 Where would that be? There is no where in the Middle East where
 the US is attempting to establish a beachhead of freedom and
 liberty. Notice I left out economic liberty, as that's not even
 our business. How they run their country is their business, when
 the people are running the country.

 JM>    Let's just spend all of that
 JM>   money at home on people who ignored their educational
 JM>   opportunities and who eschew jobs that "just aren't me."

 You must mean people like Cheney who had "other things to do"
 when his country wanted him to serve.

 JM> Muslims may be working on a nuclear bomb in Iran, and they

 Is that anything like Hindus working on a nuclear bomb in India?
 Jews working on a nuclear bomb in Israel, or Christians working
 on a nuclear bomb in South Africa? Oh, yeah, all them others
 already achieved that. And only South Africa gave it up. Think
 about it.

 BTW, Iran may be in the Middle East, but most Muslims are not.

 JM> may be responsible for most of the shooting conflicts
 JM> around the world, but they're all talk .... aren't they?

 So, at least that admits China and Russia are not responsible...
 oh... yeah... Chechnya. Tibet isn't a shooting war, cause the
 non-Muslim Chinese won't tolerate even a bit of resistance.

 Funny how brave people like Boortz are, when it involves
 inflaming already established prejudices.
