Russia
Evil's true name
2004-09-09
We've been tip-toeing around the real nature of terrorism for far too long. The horror in Russia compels us to recognise the truth about this evil.
ENOUGH. Finally enough with the evasions and excuses -- the pretence that this had nothing to do with Islamism. No, the evil that turned a Russian school into a slaughterhouse is too great and too threatening for more such polite fictions.
Consider: the terrorists who seized the school in Beslan refused to give their 1100 hostages water -- not even children who after two days in stifling heat were unconscious from thirst.

Consider: one child, 10-year-old Stanislav Tsarakhov, said he'd seen a boy beg a terrorist for water, "but instead of giving him water he drove his bayonet through the boy's body".

Consider: when a teacher, Elza Viktorovna, pleaded for the terrorists to at least spare the children, she was asked, "Have you finished?", and when she nodded was shot dead.

Consider: when the terrorists exploded into their final orgy of bloodletting, they shot in the back many children who tried to flee.
Reporters described how one rescuer carried out a girl while trying frantically to keep her insides from spilling out of the hole blown in her back. They described, too, how one female terrorist wounded and then killed a father as he ran to the school to save his children. Aveta Aylyarova, a grandmother, told how she tried to help children who made it to her house, and how a girl shot in the legs cried: "Help me, aunty, I'm dying."

#13  Super Hose, That should be the job of the media - that is its greatest power (and its greatest treachery). The MSM should be shining a bright spotlight on what the islamists are doing - rape and murder of children - as well as the deafening silence - to show the true face of Islam.

I find the greatest betrayal of the public trust in focusing the spotlight on a already investigated and acknowleged prison scandle of a few foolish soldiers on a few nights, for months on end in order to destroy america and George Bush. Or producing forged documents in order to help Kerry. And then when something important happens, like the murder of schoolchildren and rape of teenagers (not to mention what is happening in Sudan and has been happening for months) they totally ignore it and provide 'cover' for their islamic allies.

The fact that the MSM knowingly refuse to even refer to the terrorists as 'terrorists' tells me that they (Jennings, Rather, etc...) are just as guilty.

#12  It is time to take the war to the terrorist homelands. The Maderasas have to go. The Saudis have to stop the backing of Wahabi teachings or pay up. If you really wish to see the extent of the poison being filled in Muslim heads just attend Friday prayers in any mosque in U.S.A. the time is to act now and take the gloves off or it may be too late. It is time we start calling a spade a spade and do whats needful

#11  Like a dogs that have taken a dump on the floor, those who have called to have us bring our troops home from Iraq ought to be taken by the neck and have their noses jammed in this Beslan massacre. Retreat is not an option. We must attack.

#10  The truth is that all islamic condemnations of terrorist tactics will always ring hollow because of mohammed own example which always contradicted his so called peaceful teachings whenever they came between him and reaching whatever goal he had in mind.

The truth is that given the vast differences in power between modern muslims and a country like the US, mohammed would caluculate that terrorism was necessary in order to even the odds. mohammed's first principle was islam's triumph at all costs. Most of the time, he was able to threaten and intimidate people into cooperating with him but when they insisted on defying him, then things got really ugly and the buck was passed around to deflect any criticism away from him.

This has been going on since the inception of islam but you are never going to hear it from the islamic apologists. Whichever side of mohammed most suits their purposes is the one they will cite at any given time. But anyone with a brain can only come to the conclusion that mohammeds own record was hopelessly contradictory and always geared towards winning before anything else.

Todays terrorist are only behaving as mohammed would by sizing up the relative strength of their "enemy" and doing whatever it takes to conquer that enemy.

islam is a religion where true and consistent morality takes a back seat to expediency everytime.

they call this smart and practical. But it leads to the lines getting crossed over and over again. mohammed is a faulty compass that all muslims use to determine how they should respond to a given situation. In times of crisis he was capable of anything and so muslims will always sink to barbarity the greater the percieved crisis.

mohammed himself taught that things that would normally be crimes or sins in peacetime are just fine in wartime.

As long as islam exists, it will respond in direct ratio to the percieved threat. the more threated the more barbaric.

it can't be reformed until muslims renounce mohammed as a perfect example.

Until then all of their condemnations will carry not an ounce of weight. There is always mohammed the Expedient, the ultimate muslim exemplar lurking in the background winking.

#9  But the vast majority of Islamists support the terrorists either overtly via financing or 'dancing in the streets' or by remaining silent and not denouncing them from the mosques.

And no, not 'all' terrorists are Islamists. I would also call the cowards who bombed a catholic girl's school in Ireland years ago 'terrorists'. The difference is that they were soundly denounced by the churches.

#7  PlainSlow, I would really like to beleve that Islam != DeathCult, I really would.

But then I see Muslims dancing in the streets celebrating the slaughter of children and gang-rapes. Then I hear the defining silence from the leading 'moderate' Islamic organizations after the slaughter. Only days after, when they realize that this will stain Islam itself and they need to do some damage control, do I hear a few disclaimers and excuses.

Then I see the Islam's (and the terrorists) allies (the mainstream media, UN and EU) making excuses, blaming the victims and refusing to even identify the terrorists as muslim or even terrorists.

I really would like to think that what happened wasn't really 'Islam'. But I can't - every action done in the name of Islam and the silence of the 'moderates' scream to me otherwise - to me at this point Islam is a death cult which revels in the massive murder and rape of children.

The true name (or one of them) of Evil is 'ISLAM'.

#6  I guess from these four incidents the Muslim Moon-God (what the 'god' Allah originally was in pre-monotheistic times) is TRULY GREAT!

That guy stabbing 10-yr-old Stanislav, who was begging for water, has really earned his virgins, I tell you!

#5  These moron's will not stop, with words, or if Kerry or Bush is elected. Only if we kill them while we stop letting them teach the rest of the Muslim's this cult of death.
At least some Muslim's are "getting it". #1-#4, all right on.

#4  Most perpetrators of suicide operations in buses, schools and residential buildings around the world for the past 10 years have been Muslims," wrote Abdulrahman al-Rasheed, head of the Al-Arabiya TV channel, on Saturday.

In a bitter column in the pan-Arab newspaper Asharq Al-Awset, he added: "Our terrorist sons are an end-product of our corrupted culture."

The editor of the Kuwaiti daily Al-Siyassa, Ahmad Al-Jarallah, insisted Islamist extremism be fought by spreading democracy in Muslim countries such as Iraq, and defending it by force, with America’s help: "Terrorism can be tackled only through war, and only the United States . . . is capable of handling such a war."



apparently several leading muslims ARE "getting it". This is a tribute to successful US policies under Bush, but also a reminder that Islam != Islamism.

#3  This is spot on. Islamists' will hide behind any banner that will enable dim-witted apologist journalists and spineless populations of Euro nuancy-boys to call this plague on civilization what it really is. Evil. Satanic. Muslim.
It disturbs me to see so many willing to live in their little 9/10 world, when these beasts are willing to slaughter children for no apparent reason, and then be called "rebels" or "sepratists".
Islamists' are mad dogs to be put down wherever they are encountered, whether the Mosque in Detroit or the alleys of Gaza or wherever.
I'm a pretty level headed sort, but a piece of my humanity died on 9/11, more with Bali, more with Falluja, more with this latest outrage in Beslan, and everytime I read about some animal killing innocents just because Allah says so.
There is no appeasing, no price to be paid, no concession that can be given that will prevent this sort of thing from occuring again and again and again, only each and every Islamist swinging from a lamp pole puts an end to it.
Bloodlust, murder, torture for its own sake.The bastards just like it, and they have no problems hiding behind the skirts of little girls with masks on to hide thier identity.
Its time to righteously fuck Mecca & up as a first step in letting them know their time is through.

#2  No. Theirs [sic Islamofascists] is a corruption of Islam that demands the end of our civilisation, and of democracy in Muslim lands. Theirs is a bastard Islam that would rather kill than let live. That worships death, and licences the murder of children.
Ditto that, Mr/s Victory.

#1  Well said. I can't express how angry I am, and everyone I know is too. Beslan is beyond intolerable, beyond even 9/11, if that's possible.
