| ‘9/11 brought Americans closer to Islam’ |
| 2007-08-26 |
| 9/11 has brought Americans closer to Islam, since the Americans started studying Islam after the bloody attacks and realised that Islam was a peaceful religion, said Walter Russell Mead on Saturday. The hell you say, Walter! The US foreign policy expert and Henry Kissinger Senior Osama was not a true leader of Islam and his acts were against the teachings of Islam, he said. Mead said as far as war on terror was concerned, the American Muslims were not a problem, but a solution, since they could act as a *ahem* bridge between Islam and West. Answering a question regarding the US support for military regime, he said there was not true democracy in Pakistan and the United States wanted to see Pakistan a truly democratic Muslim state with better socio-economic conditions. Religion was never a controversial issue in the world and religious education was being given everywhere, including the US, Mead said. Thanks for clearing things up, Walter! Please feel free to visit Pakistan and share your wisdom again soon. |

| #17 Watching the acts of the Brave Lions of Islam brought that desire to completion. Darth, while I still hope that a Muslim holocaust somehow can be avoided, I too have nearly lost all hope. A list: (not necessarily in order) Endless mass murder attacks in Bierut, Kenya, America, Bali, Madrid, Bali, Beslan, London plus constant predations in Israel, India, The Philippines, Somalia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and all over the globe. A carbomb with infants strapped into their car seats. A five year-old child set on fire as revenge. Kris Donald burned alive. A retarded teenager laced into his bomb vest and sent packing. Palestinians rejoicing over Hamas missiles exploding on their own turf. Jirga sanctioned gang rapes against entirely blameless victims. Occupation and destruction of embassies on international soil. Heinous murders masquerading as "honor" killings. Routine Catch & Release of known terrorist operatives. Intentional addition of inflammatory images to six month-old cartoons. Conferences dedicated to denying the Holocaust. Cartoon contests to portray denial of the Holocaust. Overt declarations in favor of renewed Jewish genocide. Death threats against Pope Benedict. Beheading preadolescent Christian schoolgirls. Destruction of the ancient Bamiyan Buddhas. Proliferation of nuclear weapons technology to unstable regimes. Others may please feel free to submit additions to my woefully abbreviated list. |

| #16 GUAM K57 Call-in > informed host that Guam has been listed/indic as a de facto future target by Radical Muslims; + that besides that Russ bomber, NAVMAR Guam USN officials did not know there was a Chin PLAN Submarine observing VALIANT SHIELD just two miles offshore from Guam. |

| #14 It brought me closer to wanting to completely wiping out Islam. Watching the acts of the Brave Lions of Islam brought that desire to completion. |

| #10 I, for one, know a lot more about Islam than I did six years ago. I even own a Koran. However, I like Islam a lot less than I did six years ago. The more I learn, the less I like. |

| #7 Islam is a demonic deception that will have to be defeated as a political movement. What needs to be decided is whether Islam should be allowed to exist at all. |

| #5 9/11 has brought Americans closer to Islam... And our eyesight has improved wonderfully as a result. We don't like what we see. And the smell ain't too good either. |
