Isn't America lucky to have Moslems in our country? How long until these diaper heads start violence in our country? Or, have they already started? IMHO, I think America is goddamned lucky to have Moslems! Because for the first time in history, superior and arrogant folks have been forced to put on their thinking caps and try to figure why the seemingly "easy-pushover" Moslems have the nerve to attack America. America has also been forced to find and/or develop new counter measures/weapons to use against the enemy. The research that is being done will likely have good spin offs later in one way or another to the benefit of all. Also, the faith of many Christians are being tested. Jesus told them, "Love your enemies as you love yourself," and "Forgive your enemies." Quite understandably, this is very hard to do at this time. And so many Christians find it easier to put their Christian precepts on the backburner and come out swinging against the Moslems in thought and word only whilst leaving the real fighting to others. To be sure, they now look like so many hypocrites. But they will be quick to tell you their relationship with Jesus is a very personal one implying they don't have to go along with all Christian precepts!!! <LOL!> Furthermore, the Moslems have given the Baptists, Falwell and others like him, a chance to keep reminding their brethren and us that maybe God is telling us all something ===>> implying we are being punished for our transgressions (including excesses of the three B's, viz Bright lights, Booze and Broads). But of course lots of folks are not buying this. As to when the Moslems will start violence in America, my guess is that MOST of the home-grown Moslems are very unlikely to start anything violent. However, the Moslems that have sneaked into the country are something else. Remember 9/11 was entirely staged by alien Moslems. Now that Bush and Powell are being very nice to Moslems, the chances of home-grown Moslems making trouble are diminished, IMHO. But I am sure many would like to see them start some violence if only to justify their prejudice and hatred of the Moslems and be able to say to others, "Hey, didn't I tell you so!" By the way, having travelled through and lived in a number of Moslem countries, I dare say that MOST of the Moslems of N. America are different from the Moslems elsewhere. IMHO, it is quite unreasonable to presume Moslems in N. America will behave just like the Moslems in impoverished and primitive countries like Nigera. One should not compare oranges with apples. Trouble is even before 9/11, lots of folks were already biased against the Moslems in general. Their prejudice and hatred were well suppressed beneath a veneer of liberal mindedness. But 9/11 blew their tops and their covers off exposing them in full view to folks here on SI and elsewhere!!! Yea, many a hypocrite has come out of the woodwork and closets!!! But the hypocrites refuse to see themselves as hypocrites. Rather, they like to have you regard them as self-righteous heroic fellas sounding the alarum bell for battle!!! To be sure, the Moslems have given lots of fellas lots of lately found self-worth and self-esteem!!! So, aren't we lucky to have Moslems in America? <ggg> By the way, what many people fear most, without realizing it, is fear itself!!! Of course, this doesn't mean we may all be complacent. Far from it. Remember the Scout Motto, "Be prepared." And the Russian proverb, "Trust, but verify...." And lastly but by no means least, "Vigilance is the price of freedom." You called the Moslems, "diaper heads". By this, I suppose you are showing your appreciation of them, aren't you? It would be interesting what kind of head-moniker they would give you considering that other American head-monikers already include "shit-head", "meat-head", "pumpkin-head", etc. PS. BTW, don't forget that the Moslems in Nigeria were most probably affected by the moon rising to fullness (November 20th.)
