On 'Radical Islam has never missed an 'opportunity to miss an opportunity,' Ike wrote on Date: 9/19/2001 4:32:42 PM Post # of 921 Radical Islam has never missed an 'opportunity to miss an opportunity,' the mind set is to struggle and to accept concept of pre-destination, ' a Muslim is born with a destiny that will lead him,' now once this is planted in a brain-washed mind this world becomes a kind of small test for greater rewards soon after death, the injunction in Quran that 'last rites of a person who takes is own life should not be performed are overlooked completely, this mind set needs to confronted with certain determination. I was happy to see that Pakistan military rulers did not fall in the trap of that holy struggle, these are trained officers and they know war is no game, they have seen many and fought many, in my opinion from a general a statement that the interests of economy and well being come first are very un-Islamic statements, for that he has been already declared apostate and a target of assassination by Shaikh Omar Bakri a Syrian cleric based in London. It is times like this a nation has to make right kind of choices, limited that his options were but he made a right decision he did save Pakistan from a major problem. Now that Arab radicals are clearly seen to be the master mind of the whole thing, we will see some consideration action from USA in the right direction, it is the charity in rich Arab countries and fundamentalist Islamic organisations that fan the money behind this whole terror network, poor Pakistanis and Afghanis are hostage of all this, they need to break that chain of mental slavery now. A wrong decision on 12th by our President in name of farce ‘Islamic solidarity’ would have Pakistan on the hit list, that would have destroyed us completely or may be would have led to fragmentation of the country like the fragmentation of Turkish Caliphate after their decision to back the wrong side in WW1. From Turks to Palestinians to fundamentalist Islamite the capacity to draw long-term beneficial decision just doesn’t exist. The history tells me that, this decision on part of my president was rare in its content and in its flavor.

Ike I enjoy your thoughts. The thing I can understand is how the masses with no education or hope fall for the garbage, Osama et all put out. What bothers me is those that are educated and supposedly intelligent piping this diatribe. I have a college educated in USA employee working for me that is convinced the 9/11 event was the work of the Jews as is the anthrax (and probably global warming too). SO many in this country are so glad to benefit from the western influence(cars, homes, afluence, yet so quick to throw stones and belittle USA. The Arab News and most local papers daily show front page pictures of children wounded and are quick to headline Taliban claims, no matter how far fetched. What is the agenda here? It isnt like it is truely a free press.( Although alot better than pre 1990) After living in Saudi during the Gulf War through now I am quite disappointed by many here. However as with everywhere, I judge individuals on the merits of their actions. Most people are good regardless of where you go in the world. Regards Neil
