As God wills it
2005-07-14
Wonder if the UBL crew and associates ever take the time to examine themselves and what their world view has accomplished in the last 5 years? Keep in mind that UBL and his ilk are always fond of saying that the world is as “their god” wills it.

Just 5 years ago UBL’s living example of pure- Islamic government, the Taliban, had almost free run to govern the majority of Afganistan. Those boyos in black turbans had the ability to create an Islamic paradise replete with Shar’ia enforced down to the smallest detail. The holy-than-thou Taliban had an opportunity to create a model system so good that all of humanity would eventually flock to it. Instead “their god” willed that 19 crazed hijackers would have their day in the sun and that the US coalition would oust the Taliban and have the “students” and their erstwhile supports studying and writing fatwas in the dim light of mountain caves in Pashtun friendly areas. UBL’s god has willed it as so.

The UBL crew is convinced that militant Islam is the wave of the future and “their god” has willed it so. Yet of an estimated world population of 6,400,000,000, it is estimated that although there are 1,300,000,000 Muslims and less than 5,000,000 believers subscribe to the UBL crew’s world view. And although the hard-core element of militant Islam remain as steadfast as ever, there is growing evidence that support from the general Islamic and world public for the UBL crew is shrinking. UBL’s god has willed it as so.

The UBL crew is always ranting and raving about how much “their god” hates democracy, infidels and freedom. Yet when it came time for UBLs god to hand out the worst natural disaster in the past quarter century – the tsunami of 2004 – the wrath of that natural disaster occurred not in the citadel of the infidels but in the very heartland of UBL’s supporters. UBL’s god has willed it.

One would think that at this point the UBL crew might try to figure out if “their god” is really on “their” side.

#7  Shipman I don't think your comment was addressed to me but if it was would you accept data from ultra-lefty Pew as a valid source? After all if they're shading or push-polling they'll be doing so in a direction that'll minimize my point.

In the predominantly Muslim countries surveyed, anger toward the United States remains pervasive, although the level of hatred has eased somewhat and support for the war on terrorism has inched up. Osama bin Laden, however, is viewed favorably by large percentages in Pakistan (65%), Jordan (55%) and Morocco (45%). Even in Turkey, where bin Laden is highly unpopular, as many as 31% say that suicide attacks against Americans and other Westerners in Iraq are justifiable.

#6  So, let's talk about the gassy kroll. Was it the Martians do you reckon? Or crazed KKK killers from Kanapolis? Do you have links? If not why not, I'll hang out for another 3 minutes, if no links are forth comming that I agree with then you are a Cad and a Bounder. A likely stone cold crazy.

#5  I'd like to argue that the way to win against Islamofascism is not to point internal inconsistencies in their arguments and behaviours.

They are irrational by choice and consider non-Moslems to be impure and unworthy of life. What makes you think that they'd want to listen to your words? Theo Van Gogh tried that in the last minutes of his life.

To committed Moslems, non-Moslem lives and words are worth nothing.

#4  AzCat is right, because anyone who wants to be a true Moslem must in logic strive for taqiya, jihad, and sharia. There is no middle way except to become an apostate (and be killed for that).

To be a Moslem as such is to declare oneself a supporter of permanent religious war against all non-Moslems. It's pretty simple. Doesn't matter whether their false god seems to grant them victories or defeats --they are required to devote their life to Mo's eternal jihad. Note also that defeat is easily perceived as temporary, and can be taken as a sign of not being devoted enough to the jihad.

Five million seems an extreme underestimation. UBL pulls mid double-digit support in public opinion polls in much of the Islamic world when Muslims are polled about public figures they admire. Perhaps there are 5M potential spodeydopes ready to strap bricks of C4 to their chests and board busses full if Infidel schoolchildren, but it's the hundreds of millions who view these activities with quiet satisfaction that are the true heart and soul of the Islamofascist movement.

WELL, since we started our response to the situation, oil has gone up to about sixty dollars a barrel and the various middle eastern governments have made a killing in the market (among other places).

Just food for thought.
