Mr. Rizvi

Although it has taken some time to reply to you, I have much to say. I'll keep it brief.

While it is true that I have the tendency to get "emotional" about such issues as terrorism and the safety of my country -- I think I can speak on behalf of a lot of people in America who feel the same....but aren't as 'vocal' -- or hill-billy -- about it.

Mr. Riz, you are deceptive. Your reply has a lot of holes. But I'm not gonna fuss with you about it. We'd be wasting each other's time.

While we both would agree that human nature is to "fill in the blanks" with subjects we aren't familiar with, the Muslim world has made it clear about their intentions. Beside the fact that you are Anti-Semetic, your people have been fighting among yourselves for the past -- oh say --3000 years, and haven't reached a settlement yet.
You claim to know the Koran. What about all we've read about the infidel? And do you not consider America an infidel nation? Your religion says we must die. And you call Islam a religion of peace?

No I'm not too emotional. That sounds like a threat, and it pisses me off! You have a bit to learn about OUR culture sir. Some of us here in the Tennesse hills call those "fightin' words" (although it's not "politically correct".) You sound very "learned". You can speak English. You're doing better than I, for sure. But it don't take a rocket scientist to see through rhetoric, Mr. Riz.

I'm sure you are elated now that we have a "Muslim" president. I have my feelings about it, but let's just wait and see, and give the man a chance. I am certain many of your radical Islamic pals are saying to themselves that 'America will raise the flag of Islam without us using any force'. Over my dead proud American ass! I'm willing to look stupid if I can get some other proud American to THINK for a second.

My way of talking may not be suitable for the politically correct, and I admit I'm not as intellectual as some. But I take this issue of terrorism and Islamic threats very seriously. And I know of a lot of others who do too. And we have a voice. And when push comes to shove, we're gonna stand for our American way of life -- whether you people like it or not. And -- like a good Islamic, Mr. Rizvi -- you are commanded to hate me because I'm an infidel. You think freedom is a threat.

And we know what your meaning of Jihad is. Screw your excuse! We know your intentions by your words and actions over the past 1000 or so years. Call the kettle black mister!

And don't YOU be so emotional either, Mr. Rizvi. It would make you happy to write me off as an ignorant goon, and to publicly water me down. But I just call it as I see it, and I'm not afraid to say it. And like so many in my country, I don't trust you nor your cronies. Because when the balls hit the boards, the truth will come out eventually Mr. Riz. You hate America. You hate Israel. And as soon as you folks feel you have the advantage, you're gonna take advantage of us. Government or no, you'll be right there along with your radical pals if there were a choice to make -- make no mistake about it.

Emotional? Hell yeah. I love my country. America is the greatest country of ANY time. We've got our "dogs", as you. But there are enough of us good dogs who keep a good eye on intruders. Don't make us get off the porch! Laugh all you want. But put the shoe on the other foot -- if you are capable. Intellectual BS and political correctness goes out the window when you see the severity of the situation.
