Can you get more anti-American? (gah this is depressing)

Correct me if Im wrong but arent the peoples from the Middle East considered Caucasian? Remembering back from Anthropology class in college but was so long ago.

NJPaint. Yes, I am prejudiced against one race. That race that has sworn to kill all infidels in accordance with their religion.

Not all mid-east people are Muslim, so obviously some have the same beliefs as I. Regardless, there is no other race that has sworn to kill all the non-muslims.

When I find out that the Malaysian in line is also Muslim, my experience says "watch him like a hawk". If I found that ignorant white boy from Marin county (that's a very liberal area of San Francisco) in Afghanistan, I would have boxed his ears, called him stupid, and tossed him into Gitmo personally......if I hadn't shot him already.

Nope, not racist, but REALIST.

It wasn't the All Canadian Molson Drinking Team that killed over 3000 in 2001.

This makes no sense whatsoever. You're discussing race and religion with absolutely no consistency, yet you feel your views are good enough to be universal guidelines, even for yourself personally?

It is rarely useful to stereotype. Ex-military types have bombed American federal installations, assassinated an American president, and sniped innocent Americans on highways and at gas stations. Should we view all such people with such background with similar suspicion? After all, they can get around in the US much more easily and have loads of training in killing.

Ever consider that your attitude toward Muslims is part of the vicious cycle? A loudmouthed bigot is much more likely to get into conflicts and be involved in violence on a day-to-day basis than a tolerant, humble person. That interpersonal dynamic works on the global scale as well.

Is that what they tought you in that thar fancy college?

Yeah, isn't it funny how racial superiority kinda falls apart when you start examining the evidence and see that people moved all over and pretty much everyone is the same. Racial lines get blurry when you look at them too close.

I wonder if Jesus will be searched when he rises again lol.

Dude, that is a genius thought ... makes me think of a bumper sticker that NEEDS to be made.

Excuse me? Do you not realize the entire inaccuracy of your statements? Let me clarify. Saddam was not a fundamentalist. He was extirely secular and thus why we supported him against Iran. He was NOT a FUNDAMENTALIST. Do you even know what it means to be a fundamentalist? It has NOTHING to do with hating the United States. It has NOTHING to do with terrorism. It is strict conections between the church and state allowing the church to control what the state does and enforcing islamic law. "vast majority" are fundamentalists, please provide us with any proof whatso ever. Please, share.

Afghanistan, fundamentalist regime. syria, fundamentailst regime. Lebanon, fundamentalist regime. Yemen. fundamentalist regime. FYI, the vast majority of insurgents in Iraq arent Iraqi. Iraq, up until the mid 80's was the most progressive nation in the mideast. The Jihad being waged against us is being supported by the fundamentalists. Period. That was my point.

Afganistan fundamentalists, we put them there and supported them. Saudi Fundamentalists, we support them and are best friends with them. Since when have we been at war with Syria or Lebanon? Since when were we at war with Yemen? Individual citizens yes. They did come from those countries. But some of them also came from the US. So I guess we must be at war with the United States! Oh wait... Thats ourselves... Fundamentalism has nothing to do with terrorism, opression, genocide, ethnic cleansing. Absolutely. But the same can be said about the fundamentalist Christians in this country.

These are extremists. Just because a country has a fundamentalist dictatorship doesn't mean that the entire country is fundamentalist... Please, move beyond your stereotypes of what Arabs and Muslims are.

Last time I checked the Saudis are considered to be the most represive and the most fundamental, even more than Iran right now. And they are our best friends in the region. Last time I checked NONE of the nations that you mentioned voices support for attacks against the United States. THAT is my point. Fundamentalist once again are people who believe in hard-line religion. We have a lot of those in the US as well. Why did we go into Iraq? Because of WMD? (wait where are they?) Because he was a fundamentalist and he hates us? (wait he isn't a fundamentalist and he was fulfilling the might makes right quota by invading kuwait) Because of his ties to 9/11? (wait, there were no connections whatso ever).

Here's a quick first draft. I don't like the wording, anyone come up with something punchier?

[Army]

Hmmm...happened sooner than I hoped. The Jesus shots simply pushed it over guys (you can see where that was going to go), sorry.

But I will get the last word:

I've been there, seen it, lived among it, was targeted because of it, and have earned the right to be suspicious of those that I feel can/will be dangerous to my country, family, and way of life. As a race of peoples, Islam commands every minute of their lives, which ties religion and race in my earlier post.

Whining about what we search, or who, or when, will simply allow more time for the very bad people to kill more innocents. The free world needs to get it's act together last week, tomorrow is already too late.

Read up on the 3 former Crusades, and compare them to now......it's #4.
