Where are the moderate Muslims of the world? Or do all the millions of them support the terrorists call for the destruction of America and Israel? What about all the Muslims that make their home in America? Why would they come here to work and live if they want to see America destroyed? What's the purpose of them holding a job, going to school, raising a family here if their desire is to see America destroyed?
I don't understand! Do they just hate do-nuts and mocha lattes? I can't believe that. I know that Starbucks and flat-screen teevee's are popular in Muslim countries.
I've heard it said that they don't hate Americans. They just hate the American government and all it stands for. Well, that just sucks. George Bush likes cowboy boots and Texas belt buckles. I bet he likes Starbucks and pizza also.
Maybe it's just Democracy that the rest of the world doesn't like. Well, George has been pushing that pretty hard but, hey, you can lead a kid to a pizza parlor but you can't make him eat and I, for one, don't give a damn if the rest of the world doesn't want to partake of democracy. I think maybe people get the kind of government they deserve.
Anyway, It has been said that all that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good people do nothing. And in that regard, I keep wondering why the Muslims of the world don’t speak out against Islamic terrorists. Oh, I hear them protesting that Islam is a religion of peace. But it is Islamic schools that teach that all the other religions of the world are not only wrong but a blasphemy in the eyes of Allah, the one true God.
Of course, Jews and Christians alike believe in the same God of Abraham but somehow the Jewish and Christian God seems to differ from the Islamic Allah because Jews and Christians don’t call for the total destruction of Islam while fundamental Islamists like Osama bin Laden call for the destruction of Israel and America on a daily basis. Bin Laden recently called for the western world to convert to Islam in order to avoid destruction.
I don’t recall him saying anything about the Hindus or the Buddhists or any other of the myriad religions of the world so perhaps they don’t matter. Of course, it’s hard to imagine such monumental intolerance overlooking even the most obscure religion so once they finish off the Christians and the Jews, they can go after the rest of the world at their leisure.
I’m thinking that I don’t really know any Muslims but I do cross paths with the occasional one and I wonder what or how they would reply if I were to ask them why they would even want some snotty Christians or arrogant Jews to convert to Islam anyway. Groucho Marx said that he “didn’t want to be a member of a club that would have him as a member.” I guess I’ll never understand the fundamentalist mind that feels it necessary to harangue the non-believer.
