ITS SHAME FUL 4 WHITE MAN
U THE RASCALS BUSH DECIPLES.....Y U PEOPLE ARE SO,,,,AFRAID OF MUSLIMS......HAS THEY FUCKED UR BUSH...AND THE WHOLE WEST...WRITE SOME GOOD REMARKS....IF U ARE RELLAY LIBERLA AND TOLERANT NATION......ZAHEER MASHOOD RAVIAN

I had to kinda sorta agonize over whether to leave this or dump it. We get these now and then, you know, the semiliterate screech from the enemy camp. I'm not sure if we're supposed to be frightened, convinced, shamed, or what. But since I'm just back from a good dinner and I just fixed an irritating little programming problem, let's discuss Zaheer's points, since they're obviously well thought out.

Yes. Us rascals here are Bush's disciples. We think he's doing the right thing by trying to bring some modicum of liberty to the Middle East. After you Moose limbs declared war on us — remember that, Zaheer? — we didn't pay attention. We were all snug and secure in our own country and we weren't bothering yours. America was a country at peace with all the world when you Islamists decided to fly airliners full of non-combatants into civilian targets in New York, killing a few thousand innocents.

That's something you're really proud of, of course, just as you're proud of the way the Taliban managed to take poor, primitive Afghanistan and make it even poorer and more primitive. You're really proud of the fact that you killed Masood, the man whose forces actually defeated the Soviets, while Hekmatyar was busy intriguing and plotting in Pakistan and then rocketing Kabul to try and grab power himself. No doubt you're really proud of the way the Taliban stayed out of the fight, safe in their madrassahs in Pakistan, and then picked up the pieces when Hekmatyar plunged Afghanistan into civil war. Probably you're also proud of how many of those "Afghan" Taliban were born and bred in Pakistan.

I'm sure you're really proud of all the other things your fellow Islamists have done, too. You've lopped off the heads of innocents in half a dozen countries. Islamists took hostage a theater full of people who'd gone to see a show in Moscow. They blew up a den of iniquity full of people whose sin was taking a vacation in Bali. They blew up a few trainloads of people whose sin consisted of going to work in Spain. They've desecrated Christian holy places in Palestine, slaughtered schoolchildren in the Caucasus, and shot up churches, schools, mosques, and anything else they could get close to in Pakland. Those are all points of pride with you, aren't they, Zaheer?

Hell, yes, we're afraid of Moose limbs. I'm frightened to death of them. Sane people fear the irrational, they're afraid of mindless fanaticism. I'm also afraid of rabid dogs and venomous snakes. And I'm scared lest the weak-kneed elements in my government stop Bush and his people from killing those same rabid dogs and venonous snakes. I don't want my children and grandchildren to grow up in the kind of world you Islamists have made for yourselves in the ratholes you rule.

Yes, we're a liberal and tolerant nation. That's a good indication that Islamists aren't in charge. We live in countries where the individual's allowed to do as he pleases. If he wants to bow down toward Mecca five times a day, he can do that; if he doesn't want to, he's free not to. We're not required to go to church, synagogue or mosque. There aren't restrictions on what we can say. We can decide we don't want to be Christians or Jews or Moose limbs one day and not worry about some wild-eyed, spittle-spewing fanatic trying to kill us — unless we lose our focus and stop trying to bring individual liberty and civic responsibility to the ignorant and vicious. We can even poke fun at the Profit (PTUI) and his holy men if we want to. And you can't.

Oh, and I might add that you seem to be a lot more concerned with skin color than anybody here. I have no idea what the complexion is of most Rantburgers — all except the handful I've met could be bright orange with bright blue palps for all I know. One of the things we've worked out, for the most part, in our liberal and tolerant society is people putting up with each other's physical differences. You haven't even started on that road in Lahore, have you?
