There is probably only one issue more absurd than President Obama refusing to link Islam with the war on terror and that is the knee-jerk reaction to any act of terror. Abdulmutallab visited the rest room and placed a blanket over his lap before attempting to activate his explosives so the immediate directive was that, in future, no passenger will be allowed to leave his seat or place a blanket on his lap less than one hour before landing.
A friend commented that "not all Islamists are terrorists but all terrorists are Islamists". So, it is time to make use of this fact and, if necessary, have a separate line for Islamists but, horror of horrors, that would be profiling and would not be politically correct. For those who feign shock at such a suggestion I pose a hypothetical question. If you are about to take a long flight and had a choice of two flights leaving at the same time, which would you choose: The one which has five islamists with their prayer mats rolled up in their arms or the one with five Rabbis waiting. Yes, I would choose the same one you did. Have you ever known a Jew to blow up a mosque, school bus, market place, etc.?
As a part of this absurdity there is the belief that everything related to terror has to be referred to as an "alleged act" – the thug who created the Ft. Hood massacre is an alleged terrorist, the beast on the Detroit flight had committed an alleged act of terror. Perhaps the alleged president of the United States, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama can explain what Mr. Abdulmutallab was doing if it was not an act of terror and maybe what the alleged head of Homeland Security was thinking when she said that the system worked. Of course not, it would be politically incorrect to do so.
Mr. Abdulmutallab wanted to blow himself up and kill 300 plus innocent people with him. True justice would be to extract whatever information from him by whatever means necessary, including waterboarding, and take him out to an open field, provide him with the explosives and give him his wish.
To be politically correct however, the Attorney General is probably already selecting some defense lawyers for him and deciding which court wil be used to spend millions of dollars of the taxpayers money defending him. Sorry, I forgot, it has been alleged that he has been lonely and depressed. Does that make it all ok Mr. Holder?
Until this nonsense stops and everyone starts calling a spade a spade and act accordingly these alleged acts will continue and thousands more lives will be lost.
No passenger will be allowed to leave his seat or place a blanket on his lap less than one hour before landing.
Terrorists who plan to bomb planes during the first seven hours of the eight-hour flight, however, should face no difficulties, provided they wait until after the complimentary beverage service has been concluded. – Ann Coulter
Obama is out of his mind.It is time to start profiling, just like in Israel.Old Irish ladies are not the terroists,young Arib males are.Political correctness is going to sink America.I’m on the same plane as you Dr.Sweeting
It’s ALWAYS easy to request authorities to handle the tragedies of our world by profiling when YOU don’t fit the description of those being profiled.
Did you see the picture of the alleged terrorist? He didn’t look Muslim…he looked like a BLACK man…looked like ANY BLACK Bahamian, American, African etc. Lawyer, Doctor or Criminal (with respect to his features)
Are you suggesting that all the BLACK MEN be profiled due to this one incident?
Are WHITE MEN being profiled after what Timothy McVeigh did in Oklahoma? Let Me Help You…Hell No!!!
Take the perspective of someone who was actually there and then you might understand why the phrase “alleged act” is used, as this is no open and shut case. (See Link Below)
I suggest that this event is right in line with the Climate Change Hoax that suggests CO2 is responsible for climate change (which it isn’t)
This event gives the “establishment” another tool to tame and control the world’s populace by way of Global Government (A New World Order) that aims to PROFILE us all! (See Link Below)
Thanks for stopping by Anku Sa Ra.
Profiling, or driving while black, is a bit different than suicide bombers don’t you think?
While I don’t want the government running my life, when someone harms or intends to harm someone else, then law enforcement should be involved. That – policing – is one of the few core functions of government.
I don’t think anyone is suggesting that “all black men be profiled due to this one incident” but certainly if I am body searched (except my cavities) and all the contents of my brief case are searched, as a result of this one incident, because I am a traveler on an airplane, surely we can tolerate a little more vigilance in this regard where potential suicide bombers are concerned?
I almost forgot, as a result of this incident I can’t pee one hour before the flight lands, I can’t listen to my music on my iPod, I can’t use my computer, I can’t read my Kindle etc. What’s next?
Who’s the potential criminal/murderer here?
And I don’t disagree with EVERYONE being searched up to a certain degree, but I do feel that the initial commentary more than suggested that a certain group of people be profiled more than any other and THAT is scary for me, not just because I’m a black man, but because I know today its the Muslim Terrorist and tomorrow its who?
The designers of chaos today are our heros tomorrow in that there is an unseen hand that orchestrates these types of events so that they SLOWLY take away the liberties of the general populace and THIS is my MAIN concern.
I’m asking ALL to look at this latest event, previous events and,I’m Sure, events to come in a more objective way as there is information out there that points to what I’m suggesting here.
Now the Mainstream media is admitting that there was this Indian looking man that was questioned and released, the same man that FORCED this “terrorist” on the plane which aligns with what the eyewitness statements of 2 of the passengers on the plane.
There was also a man video taping the whole event, does this not concern anybody else? (See Link Below)
Thanks.
I accept that, but who was charged for carrying the “bomb”?
Well apparently we ALL have…’cause we’re being treated as criminals (crime in all) now:-)
Have a good one…very nice website:-)
Thank you for your comment.
I am not in a position to say how the profiling should be done but if white dentists from the Bahamas have created problems with airlines, embassies, etc then I should be profiled when I take a flight because I am a Bahamian white dentist. I should not be angry with the airlines but with my colleagues and fellow Bahamians. They do it in Israel and it has been very effective.
And if the white dentist where framed by a bunch power hungry globalist then what? You’ve effectively ignored my previous post but no hard feelings:-)
Profile me until the cows come home, I don’t care if I have nothing to hide & it means better protection from these Muslim extremist terrorists.
Have you wondered why Barack Hussein Obama has insisted that the U.S. Attorney General hold the trials for the 911 Murdering Muslim Terrorists in Civilian Courts as Common Criminals instead of enemy combatants who attacked the United States of America ? Here’s something to think about:
If the Muslim Terrorists are tried in Military Tribunals, convicted, and sentenced to DEATH by the Military Tribunal, BY LAW of the United States , Barack Hussein Obama, as President of the United States , would be required to SIGN their Death Warrants before they could be EXECUTED. He would not be required to sign the death warrants if sentenced to death by a Civilian Court ..
Think about the Muslim Jihadist, Major Hassan who slaughtered his fellow soldiers at Ft. Hood , Texas . Major Hassan did not want to go to Afghanistan and be a part of anything that could lead to the deaths of fellow Muslims. He stated that Muslims could not and should not KILL FELLOW MUSLIMS.
Is the motive for Barack Hussein Obama’s decision to make sure he doesn’t have to sign the death warrants for the Muslim Terrorists? Why would he, as President of the United States , not want to sign the death warrants for Muslim Terrorists who attacked the United States and MURDERED over 3,000 innocent United States Citizens on 911? Could it be that he is FORBIDDEN BY HIS RELIGION to have anything to do with the execution of Muslims?
Think about that!!! Join me in opening our ears, eyes and minds to what THEIR President is doing. PLEASE pass this along to your friends if you agree that this sounds reasonable.
Dr. Krauthammer is on Fox News. He is an M.D. (psychiatrist) and a lawyer and is paralyzed from the neck down. A friend went to hear Charles Krauthammer. He listened with 25 others in a closed room. What he says here, is NOT 2nd-hand but 1st. The ramifications are staggering for us, our children and their children.
Last Monday was a profound evening, Dr. Charles Krauthammer spoke to the Center for the American Experiment. He is a brilliant intellectual, seasoned & articulate. He is forthright and careful in his analysis, and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a fear monger nor an extremist in his comments and views. He is a fiscal conservative, and has received a Pulitzer Prize for writing. He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly for the Washington Post.
The entire room was held spellbound during his talk. I have summarized his comments, as we are living in uncharted waters economically and internationally.
Even 2 Dems at my table agreed with everything he said! If you feel like forwarding this to those who are open minded and have not drunk the Kool-Aid, feel free.
Summary of his comments:
1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not to be underestimated. He is a cool customer who doesn’t show his emotions. It’s very hard to know what’s behind the mask. The taking down of the Clinton dynasty was an amazing accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit them. Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.
2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton. He has a way of making you think he’s on your side, agreeing with your position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attention to what he SAYS; rather, watch what he DOES!
3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, including dismantling capitalism. He can’t be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along.
He has a heavy hand, and wants to level the playing field with income redistribution and punishment to the achievers of society. He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada .
4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, and NATIONAL HEALTHCARE by the Federal government. He doesn’t care about the auto or financial services industries, but got them as an early bonus. The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle growth. Paying for FREE college education is his goal. Most scary is his healthcare program, because if you make it FREE and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada . God forbid!
5. He has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types. No one around him has ever even run a candy store. But they are going to try and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries. This obviously can’t work in the long run. Obama is not a socialist; rather he’s a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a moderate, but will govern from the hard left. Again, watch what he does, not what he says.
6. Obama doesn’t really see himself as President of the United States , but more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate & coordinate various countries and their
agendas. He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees America , as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times made errors. This is the first President ever who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!
7. He is now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (and pain) will not come due until after he is reelected in 2012. He would like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his successor in the future. He has a huge ego, and Dr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcissist.
8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge strong. Republicans are pining for another Reagan, but there will never be another like him. Krauthammer believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in February) are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage. Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent, but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts and info if she is to be a serious candidate in the future.. We need to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national defense, and state’s rights.
9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous. We are spending trillions that we don’t have. This could lead to hyperinflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves into prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass because they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn’t work, nor will the stimulus package. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama’s allies, unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.
10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers failed, fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and the war was grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome. The people are in pain, and the mantra of change caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem would have won this election; it was surprising it was as close as it was.
11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be swept back into power. If it’s under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If it’s between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight. It will all be about the economy. I hope this gets you really thinking about what’s
happening in Washington and Congress. There is a left-wing revolution going on, according to Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the faith and join the loyal resistance. The work will be hard, but we’re right on most issues and can reclaim our country, before it’s far too late.
Do yourself a long term favor, send this to all who will listen to an intelligent assessment of the big picture. All our futures and children’s futures depend on our good understanding of what is really going on in DC, and our action pursuant to that understanding!! It really IS up to each of us to take individual action!! Start with educating your friends and neighbors!!!
A lot of truth to this and worth the read.
can Muslims be good Americans?
CAN MUSLIMS BE GOOD AMERICANS? (This is certainly ‘food-for-thought’. What do you think?)
This is very interesting and we all need to read it from start to finish And send it on to everyone. Maybe this is why our American Muslims are So quiet and not speaking out about any atrocities. Can a Muslim be A good American?
This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years. The following is his reply:
Theologically – no. . . . Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon God of Arabia .
Religiously – no.. . . Because no other religion is accepted by His Allah Except Islam (Quran, 2:256)(Koran)
Scripturally – no. . . Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran..
Geographically – no . Because his allegiance is to Mecca , to which he Turns in prayer five times a day.
Socially – no. . . Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make Friends with Christians or Jews .
Politically – no.. . . Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual Leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America , The great Satan.
Domestically – no. .. . Because he is instructed to marry four Women and Beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34 )
Intellectually – no. . Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
Philosophically – no. . . . Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran does Not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot Co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
Spiritually – no.. . . Because when we declare ‘one nation under God,’ The Christian’s God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to As Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in the Quran’s 99 Excellent names.
Therefore, after much study and deliberation…. Perhaps we should be Very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. – – – They obviously Cannot be both ‘good’ Muslims and good Americans. Call it what you wish it’s still the truth. You had better believe it. The more who understand This, the better it will be for our country and our future.
The religious war is bigger than we know or understand. ….
Footnote: The Muslims have said they will destroy us from within. SO FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.
