2004-09-11 | |||
"I fear that we have awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve". Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto The Sept. 11 attacks gave Washington a pretext for American expansionism around the world and were a defeat for Arabs, according to Arab and Muslim commentators on the third anniversary of the suicide hijackings. "The events of Sept. 11 were a minor crisis that the Americans have turned into a global crisis," according to conservative Iranian Mahmoud Mohammadi, vice president of the parliamentary foreign affairs committee.

#6 "I can say that the greatest challenge threatening our security is the world’s narrow vision in dealing with our region. It's more accurately called "being in the crosshairs"... |

#5 I am curious, How do the fucking Arabs pay, by paying for the sweets to celebrate? I mean if they wannah pay accept responsibility AT LEAST. It is just a cycle of blaming the victim and making the perpetrator look like a victim. Why are they not disbanding the madresas and having a secular government in Saudia. |

#4 "The liberal newspaper Nahdat Misr daily ran a headline: "Arabs are the only people in the world paying the bill for Sept. 11." Every family of the victims of Sept 11 pays dearly every day for Sept 11. Every person who has to wait interminably at airport security check points pays the bill for Sept 11. Every taxpayer pays. Every westerner pays. I knew the recent spate of articles in which muslims seem to be starting to do some self reflection was too good to be true. This is the (very predictable) backlash -- the establishment trying to maintain the status quo. |

#3 "The liberal newspaper Nahdat Misr daily ran a headline: "Arabs are the only people in the world paying the bill for Sept. 11.' " Wow. Does Congress know this? Can we get a rebate? Maybe that is why Kerry voted against the 87b? He had a coffee klatsch with Nahdat Misr because, you know, the Arab world tells him things they won't tell Bush, he's so tight with them. They cleared it all up-it's their sons who are sacrificing in the WoT. Add this newspaper's editorial staff to the list of other ingrates in the world. America sheds blood and empties its pockets to better the world, and the morons at Nahdat Misr don't realize how lucky they are. |

#2 …Afghanistan and then Iraq. They threatened other countries under the pretext that they were supporting terrorism and making weapons of mass destruction,"… How perseptive, but they are not mere pretexts they were warnings. Warnings which in a typical 4th century world outlook you muslims didnt not heed. Now it's your ass on the line which way do you go? As usual you got the answer incorrect. Your satanic death cult can't avail you. I hear the gnashing of your teeth and can see the cold breath of death coming down on your backs. Why do you people continue to get the answers to the question of life wrong. Soon it will be to late. Don't set fires which will consume yourself only to be put out before it ever harms anyone else. |

#1 "I can say that the greatest challenge threatening our security is the world’s narrow vision in dealing with our region. "This vision is the real threat facing our region, and recognising it is the real challenge facing our partners." "[T]he world's narrow vision." Yeah, riiiiiight. And Wahhabism is sheer broad-mindedness by comparison, right Ahmed? And the globe's narrow "vision is the real threat facing our region." Sure thing, Ahmed, whatever way you like it, but until you cure yourself of looking through your telescope the wrong way this "narrow vision" problem is all your own. The only genuine threat to your "region" is a failure to rein in your fanatics that allows them to go ahead and do something so obscenely horrific we just hit the Big Red Button™ and have done with it for once and all. I'd be much more concerned about that right now than anyone else's eyesight correction. It added that, after Iraq, "Sudan, Lebanon, Syria and Iran are on the list" of countries that should be worried. At least the article got one thing right. |
