Surfing the news online, like I do nearly every day at work during my lunch break, I often seek news about things that are happening in the Middle East. That part of the world seems to have so much influence on the rest of the world that I find it important to keep up with current events over there. A day never goes by that I don’t find some little nugget of information that really pisses me off about that region. It’s a place filled with double-standards, lies, deception, and relentless bloodshed. Oh, and "holy" sand.
First, I’ll relay a comical little tidbit that comes to us from Afghanistan. It appears that insurgent forces have taken to attacking cell phone towers. Are cellular towers an affront to Islam? Well, indirectly they are. Apparently, the insurgents have "demanded" that the towers be shut down at night because there is a fear that NATO-led forces may be tracking Taliban cell-phone conversations, presumably to coordinate attacks on insurgent strongholds or positions. I find it comical that the insurgents first "demanded" that the towers be shut down at night. When the local telecoms didn’t comply, the towers got torched. Smart move insurgents; you don’t want to be tracked by your cell phones, so you attack the cellular system. Now how are you going to communicate with each other? I guess you’ll have to go back to messengers on camel-back, or perhaps rely on carrier pigeons. I don’t know how to break it to the poor disadvantaged insurgents, who we’re apparently treating unfairly in combat, but NATO-led forces are likely using very sophisticated methods of encrypted radio communication, and are not dependent upon cell phones. Even if the insurgents are "smart" enough to be using satellite phones, I’m guessing that the good guys can track those too. It’s moments like this where I begin to realize that our enemy is not as cunning as we may have been led to believe.
And now allow me to share another news tidbit from the distinguished dipshit Democratic Senator of Delaware, Mr. Joseph Biden. Senator Biden recently returned from a trip to the region (Afghanistan and/or Pakistan), and here is what he had to say. Biden called the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan a "….superhighway for extremists." He also said, "The main message I bring back is that Afghanistan is the forgotten war and Pakistan is the neglected frontier. Afghanistan is slipping toward failure because it has never been a priority, and it has to become one." Biden claims the Pakistani-Afghan border should be considered the central front in the war on terror. Well, Mr. Biden, thank you so much for illuminating the issue for me, you ignorant son-of-a-bitch. You have an amazing grasp of the obvious, and yet, you don’t. What, Mr. Biden, would you know about any of this anyway? You’re the first one to step up to the microphone and whine about pulling troops out of Iraq, which is another valuable front in the war on terror. Heck, in Iraq we don’t really have to look too far to find terrorists; they come to us over there. They’re everywhere. If we stick it out in Iraq, killing the bad guys can be like shooting fish in a barrel. And more fish keep jumping into the barrel from the outside every day. I know Iraq’s an ugly mess, but when you step back and think about it, it’s as good a place as any for a "showdown" with the people that want to kill us all. I’d rather that we face the enemy there than here on our own streets.
I agree with Mr. Biden that Pakistan "is the neglected frontier." I’ve been saying that for years now. I’m just wondering why it took this nimrod an expensive trip (at the taxpayers’ expense) to the region to come to that conclusion. I’ve come to that conclusion from the comfort of my own home just by reading the news reports from the area. Maybe Mr. Biden should learn how to read. He should also learn to grow some testicles, because that’s what it takes to defeat an enemy. You don’t turn and run away from what is probably the most important fight this nation will ever face. And it’s NOT just in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It’s also in Iraq, whether we like it or not.
And now a word from terrorism’s sponsor, Sheikh Osama Bin-Laden himself. Yes, Osama has again resurfaced with an audiotape recently. In the recording, he again brings up the "tragedy of tragedies" in the Islamic world: the reprinting of the Danish political cartoons that were so horribly offensive to Islam. With regard to those cartoons, he said, "This is the greater and more serious tragedy, and the reckoning for it will be more severe." A severe reckoning for a cartoon? Well, that sounds pretty menacing, not to mention pretty damned pathetic. I bet the reason that the cartoons are stirring up so much shit is because they hit the nail right on the head. They were spot on. The truth hurts, doesn’t it, Muslims? Sounds like you’re afraid to admit that you’re playing out exactly what the cartoons were attempting to illustrate. And re-printing those pictures again and again just keeps pushing that thorn deeper and deeper into your side, doesn’t it? If you want to rise above the cartoons, then prove to the world that you don’t need suicide bombings to share your pathetic excuse for a religion. Quit killing innocent people in the name of Islam, and maybe the cartoons will stop.
There are more lame little complaints from the mouth of Bin-Laden to share. He also said, "If there is no check on the freedom of your words, then let your hearts be open to the freedom of our actions." Allow me to translate that for you. It means, "If you say or do anything that is offensive to Islam, no matter how trivial, we will kill you for it." That’s an interesting concept. If we speak our minds, then we will be killed by Muslims. Yet it is "okay" for Muslims to insult, threaten, and cry, "Death to (whomever)!!!" Why is it that Muslims get to take to the streets and burn flags and scream out their opinions at the top of their lungs, but when we Westerners speak our minds in civilized fashion by drawing a political cartoon, we are the ones in the wrong? Muslims of the world, I’m tired of living by your sorry-ass double standard. You can speak your minds, but we can’t? You call yourselves "justified" when you randomly bomb a market full of innocent people, but we Americans are supposedly "monsters" when we use smart-bombs to target only specific hostile enemy positions with the goal of minimizing collateral damage to innocent bystanders? Muslims, you’re fools. You’re talking out both sides of your mouths. The cult of Islam is a farce and a travesty. I will never respect Islam because it respects nothing. Why should I respect Islam? Can anyone honestly give me a good answer to that question? I refuse to respect it out of fear and coercion. That’s called terrorism. I guess that means that Islam equals terrorism. Truth hurts, doesn’t it Muslims?
Here’s another priceless quote from the big bad guy with the turban. He said, "The laws of men which clash with the legislation of Allah the Most High are null and void, aren’t sacred and don’t matter to us." Okay, so what he’s really saying is that basic tenets of right and wrong don’t matter under any circumstances. If Allah’s will is that a follower annihilate a building full of innocent people, then basic rules of right and wrong (laws of men) are not sacred and do not matter. In Osama’s eyes, everyone’s a fair target, whether they’re an enemy of Islam or not. Islam has gotten so bad that it cannot even tolerate its own kind anymore. I don’t know about you, folks, but I fail to see how the world is supposed to embrace a religion where anyone can be killed at any time, and for any superfluous reason. One determined asshole’s twisted interpretation of what Allah wishes can mean death for countless innocent people. I’m not okay with that, and you shouldn’t be either.
Am I alone in these thoughts? If not, then I encourage you to speak out. And do so openly. We need the Muslim world to understand that we will not be intimidated. If we fail to speak up, then we’re merely handing over our lives to nimrods that have no concept of, nor respect for, the value of human life. What I’m hearing from the lips of Osama Bin-Laden, Islam’s primary spokesperson, is that human life is not sacred to Islam whatsoever. Do not be intimidated by Islamo-fascism, but rather stand up to it and reject it. Even be so bold as to insult it. It’s your only hope for survival. The alternative is capitulation and a life lived in fear, which is no life at all. If you do not speak out because you’re afraid, then your life is forfeit to them anyway. What’s it going to be?
