with all the hate hysteria being fomented by the likes of Beck and Limbaugh, I'm surprised this hasn't happened sooner. I'll bet Bin Laden is chuckling to himself, watching US self destruct.

That is insane. So Muslims have become the new Jew???
I have a friend that is muslim...she let me go to the mosque with her. I asked her for her opinion of Al Quada once. She said "I can understand loving Allah and all, but d@^# they need to get a grip!!" She is a very lovable person, when I see crimes like this done to Muslims, I think of her and the world she has to live in. We became friends when I was riding the college bus with her, she had her head covered and the bus driver was telling her that she was going to hell because she is muslim. He was a thumper.
I chewed him out like a dog on a bone and reminded him that Jesus said " As you judge, you shall be judged." After that, her and I became friends. I also reported him to the transportation supervisor which chastised him quite a bit.

Can't we all just get along? Jesus. (Or Allah or whatever/whoever you worship)

If it's coming to this, then I'm going to be stockpiling for the impending apocalypse, which by the way is mentioned in almost all holy books, not just the Bible. I mean if the basis of being human is life and death, is the world any different? The world was created, it can be destroyed.

Exactly. I have my beliefs, but I'm not going to judge people on theirs, and I'm certainly not going to stab a person because they're different. You wonder why so many Islamic sects hate our living guts. If I were treated like that because I was different, then yes, I might hold a grudge or two. Wait, I already do because I was bullied for being different in school.

BTW Your friend sounds like a very admirable person.

Just as there are over a billion muslims who do not engage in terrorism.

I'll make you a deal. I won't blame this on Beck and Limbaugh if you stop blaming Islam for 9/11.

The fact remains, Limbaugh, Beck, and the other assorted messiahs of the lunatic fringe use inflammatory language to bring out the worst in people, either for ratings or short lived political gains. Some other a**hole recently walked raging drunk into a Masque during worship, swore at the worshipers, called them all terrorists, and then proceeded to urinate on a rug used for kneeling on. A fire brand minister is going to burn copies of the Koran on September 11. All over the country, Masques are being vandalized. I somehow doubt any of these people are listening to Keith Olbermann or Rachel Maddow on MSNBC.
It's only a matter of time till someone actually is killed.

9/11 was a Wahabi operation and bin Laden and his thugs took credit for it.

You don't see Muslims getting mad at Sweden or Bolivia or New Zealand, do you?

Perhaps it is because those countries don't go half way around the world to kill Muslims in their own homes in their own countries.

"They hate us because we are free"?

No, they hate us because we invade their countries and kill them.

No, 9/11 was a Mossad/CIA operation and bin Laden denied having anything to do with it.

I don't know who was responsible for 9/11. In the end, it will probably be a lot of people... It's hard to deny the official story sounds shoddy.

Just because something might of also happened to that building does not mean it happened for the same reason that the world trade centre was destroyed. Occam's Razer applies in this case. The official story that terrorists flew planes into the twin towers is simpler and makes more sense than the story that the US government was the real culprit and was involved in an elaborate conspiracy to only make the world think terrorists flew planes into the twin towers. Additionally, only crackpots believe that the US government would just decide to kill thousands of it's own citizens.

It does make more sense, until you look at evidence that says otherwise.

If they did do it, it wasn't like it was for no reason. Think of the changes that have been initiated since 9/11. A lot of things that a government would like to do, but probably couldn't without a perceptible need to do so. Or else the masses would put their foot down.

People are killed in the name of science as test subjects, Japan had it's fighter pilots kamikaze into Pearl Harbor...If the ends justify the means, then it will be considered.

Anyways, it's healthy for a skeptical group of people living in the country to keep TPTB on their toes. The US government isn't perfect. There is no such thing as perfect.

Beck and Limaugh had nothing to do with it. If they encouraged their listeners to kill muslims or any other group they would be arrested. That guy formed his opinions in Afghanistan.

But that's not the entirety of Islam, is it? There are over a billion muslims who are as blameless as those who listen to Limbaugh and Beck and then go and do no harm.
