Death To Islam Itself

Alright, I just read about some new protests stirring up overseas over those controversial cartoons that were printed in Denmark newspapers back in 2006. Remember those? The most controversial one depicted the "holy" prophet Mohammed with a turban on his head that looked like a bomb with a lit fuse. I thought it was brilliant statement, myself.

I guess in a show of solidarity, about twelve Danish newspapers RE-PRINTED those cartoons again to emphasize their right to freedom of speech. I commend these newspapers for doing so. It's a brave move, considering the firestorm this situation ignited back in 2006. Believe it or not, a number of violent protesters in other nations were killed because they couldn't behave themselves and protest in a civil fashion. Too bad, so sad. Those are the kinds of pathetic sub-humans that got what they deserved. These are the ones burning flags, effigies of George Bush, effigies of American citizens, etc. and constantly screaming, "Death to _________ !!!" (fill in the blank here with anyone who isn't a Muslim.) Had the cartoonists themselves been walking down the street, these Muslims are the kinds of violent assholes that would have beaten, stabbed, burned, or blown up the cartoonist with a bomb-laden turban with a lit fuse.

Take a look at the photo above. These fine members of the "tolerant and peaceful" religion of Islam are burning an American flag in Karachi, Pakistan. What were they protesting this time? Why, the re-printing of the cartoons in Danish newspapers, of course. Wait a minute, let's rewind for a second. Danish newspapers printed the cartoons, but these peaceful holy men are burning an American flag. Umm, am I missing something here? This is a shining example of what the "blessed" religion of Islam holds in store for you, America. This is what you have to look forward to after we've gotten so soft in the war on terror that we've invited these nice gentlemen into our backyards.

Look again at this photo. Are you seeing the blind hatred in their eyes? Do you see the glee with which they're burning our flag? Do you not recognize that if you, Mr. or Mrs. American, were in their midst at this moment, that it would have been your own flesh that would be burning on this dusty street? They'd be kicking you, spitting on you, stabbing you, beating you, and burning you just as readily as they burned this flag. And here's the interesting kicker: I'm willing to bet that these fine men are not members of Al Qaeda or any other terrorist organization. These nice, friendly gents are the supposed "moderate Muslims" that I keeping hearing rumors about. You know, the ones that don't believe in Islamic extremism. See how quick they are to burn effigies of Osama Bin-Laden, or banners representing Al Qaeda? See how quick they are at renouncing terrorism? Umm, for those who aren't reading into this enough, I'm being sarcastic. These boys are the moderates that, while not blowing up buildings with suicide vests themselves, support the cause just the same. This is Islam in its true form.

Americans, don't be so blind to the fact that we're in serious trouble here. A handful of guys in Denmark opted to speak their minds on something, and the result is that we Americans are in the crosshairs of Islam's hatred and intolerance. Are we willing to back down in the war on terror and come running home to hide out, only to let guys like these get an upper hand on us and threaten us? The guys you see in the photo will not be appeased. You can't reach out with an olive branch and offer to start a meaningful dialogue with these guys. They've made up their minds, people: they want you dead. They want me dead. They want everyone dead that isn't a Muslim. Isn't Islam a wonderful religion of peace and tolerance?.

For everyone who feels we shouldn't have our troops overseas stamping out this kind of murderous intent, I really don't understand where you're coming from. I'm all in favor of promoting peace around the world, don't get me wrong. But peace and freedom are never achieved with olive branches and kind words alone. Peace and freedom often must be defended with rifles, tanks, bombs, and brave individuals. I wish that weren't so, but you're a fool if you believe that we can diplomatically achieve peace with the men you see above. They won't have it. Not unless you are willing to capitulate and become one of them. Want to do that?
