response to ed

Submitted by gary (United States), Oct 18, 2005 at 21:04

ed, i have no compulsion to argue with you so i wont. you are definitely as passionate about your position as i am about mine so lets just agree to disagree. but since you are acting partly as ahktars surrogate, i'll tell you my opinion on some of the comments you have made.

first of all, i completely reject the notion of illegal occupation. i can sit here all day and carp about the un but that would accomplish nothing. so to be brief, the un is an anti israeli, anti us organization. israel is routinely vilified for defending itself while the murder bombers are almost always without exception given a free pass. no country in the history of the world has been forced to give back territory it has aquired in a war where it was the victim and not the agressor. resolutions 242 and 338 are as racist as the scurilous resolution equating zionism with racism. this resolution has been recinded because of the work of the united states.

zionism is simply the wish of the jewish people to preserve israel, the same as the irish defending ireland or the germans defending germany but the concept of zionism has been perverted by moslem lies and disinformation i.e. the resurfacing of the protocols of the elders of zionism, a document proven to be a forgery. and as a final comment to this part of my response, arab anti semitism is tolerated routinely in the un while any attempt of israel to defend itself is vilified. to a great many people in the united states, the un is tantamount to a bad joke and wish that the us would resign and turn that building into condominiums.

as for your comment about the "3 helicopters", as an american taxpayer i find that statement to be insulting and a bald faced lie. the united states has already given as much aid to the pakistanis for this horrendous disaster as the rest of the world combined. is there an agenda behind it. you bet there is. the agenda is to try to show the moslem people that after years of lies and disinformation diseminated against the united states by your wonderful moslems, that this is the true character of america. frankly i find this to be a waste of time because if they couldnt tell it by the shedding of our young servicemans blood in bosnia or kosovo, then they are blind or simply dont care. as for somolia, as usual the travesties being commited there are by moslems. why dont you write to your moslem breathren to stop this mode of behavior or is it just that as usual you expect someone else to do it for you and hate them if they dont. this is part and parcel of the islamic world whose facist attitude says that because of their natural superiority, the world owes it to them. if nothing else, this is arogance in the first division.

another fact you brought up is the phenomenon of people converting to islam. i thank you for bringing this up because i've wanted to comment on this for a long time. lets take a look at the demographic breakdown of this particular group. is it the middle class, wealthy or educated. no. it is the poor and underclass. there is a jewish proverb that a drowning man will even grasp at the edge of a sword. i find this to be a perfect analogy for this occurence. and lets look at the choices these people have in conversion. after 6000 years of continued anti jewish propoganda, i doubt seriously that the average person will be seeking residence in the jewish community. the other alternatives are buddhism, hinduism or sihk which are traditionally looked on in the united states as oriental philosophys not compatible with american culture. right or wrong, this is the perception. and since the vast majority of these converts are christain, islam is the only viable alternative. i find this whole issue to be so much sophistry as asking people whether they are against cigarette smoking when they know in advance that most people dont smoke.

and as for the "great" moslem population in the united states, where is it? all i see is a bunch of freeloaders coming to america not to assimilate to our culture, but to subvert our society with the intention of imposing the most barbaric set of laws ever devised by humanity, namely the sharia and to turn us in to dhimmis for your great moslem population. this act is being repeated all over the world and distorted by the islamic lie machine. but as hitler said, the bigger the lie, the more people will believe it. once again it is acceptable to decieve the enemy before you murder them.

and as for equating islamic values to judeo-christain values is like equating saddam hussein to mother theresa. i dont know how jaladhi feels but please dont try to tell me about the "fundamentals" of the situation. i find the assumption that you can as both insulting and arrogant, but whats new. i see these fundamentals all the time. i see them in the blown up buses in jerusalem. i see them in the carnage in new york city. i see them in the blown up pizza parlor in tel aviv. i see them in the blown up embasies in kenya and nirobi. i see them in the resorts of bali. i see them in the blown up jewish cultural center in argentina. i see them in the subways of london and madrid. and it seems to me that the fundamental you are missing is that day after day, more people are starting to realize the real intentions of islam and as the scientific axiom states, for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction and its coming.

thank you
