Although I’m not blessed with the exceptional writing talent you clearly possess, this particular posting, combined with a few others I’ve read, has recently inspired me to write an article entitled, <b><a href="http://tia-mysoa.blogspot.com/2011/06/who-controls-global-terrorism.html" rel="nofollow">Who Controls Global Terrorism?</a></b><br /><br />I hope you don’t mind me sharing this link in the comment section of this post.<br /><br />Take care, and keep on doing what you do best!<br /><br />PS:<br />I've also linked your blog on my list - "Blogs of Interest"Glenn Elsdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427434694926718270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-18194856244332584842011-06-18T07:53:28.858-07:002011-06-18T07:53:28.858-07:00Whether or not the American Ruling Class, or even ...Whether or not the American Ruling Class, or even a majority of my fellow Americans want to believe it, 9/11 only marked the latest battle in a 1,400 plus year war between Islam and Western Civilization.<br /><br />Before and after 9/11, we have tried appeasement with Islam. It doesn't work. We have tried limited war in Iraq and Afghanistan in order to install republican regimes that separate Mosque and State. It's not working. We have even attempted alliances with "moderate" Muslim nations. They have never worked in the long run. <br /><br />What is next? <br /><br />Clearly, The Third World War and Great Crusade that promises to take up where World War II left off - with an exchange of missile launched nuclear weapons.<br /><br />I know like Cassandra my often accurate predictions of gloom and doom will be ignored by the most Americans...THEY ARE TOO TERRIBLE TO BE BELIEVED AND ACTED UPON...and I never feel pleased when events prove me right again and again.<br /><br />Cheers, Ronbo - CassandraRonbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02767498198886077632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-774426854063875952011-06-17T16:36:40.220-07:002011-06-17T16:36:40.220-07:00@Schism: Unfortunately, as 9/11 demonstrated, terr...@Schism: Unfortunately, as 9/11 demonstrated, terrorists use our legal system against us and, for the dead, there are few excuses to be made that we did everything we could.<br /><br />In general, the Patriot Act has provided more means with which to deal with terrorists.Alan Carubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901162110385985193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-2351208574884553552011-06-17T12:37:00.425-07:002011-06-17T12:37:00.425-07:00"It is inherent on everyone to be especially ..."It is inherent on everyone to be especially watchful and, sadly, to be less attached to traditional legal protections that prohibit law enforcement and counterterrorism personnel from infiltrating the many mosques throughout the nation until this cancer can be isolated and eradicated."<br /><br />"Traditional legal protections" such as the 4th Amendment? Or the 2nd, or the 5th, or the 1st?<br /><br />Shame on you. We've already seen our lives made much more miserable over all, and much shorter in far too many cases, with the erosion of our rights and the increasingly rapid escalation of government actions agains "enemies of the people" with the "war on drugs", and now the "war on terror". Now you want us to thoughtfully approve of even further restrictions on ourselves so that the government can protect us better? Sorry, but they just don't seem capable of accomplishing that task.<br /><br />It's just not the government's job to protect me from criminals. Nor is it generally possible for them to do so unless a cop is stationed at my shoulder 24/7, a measure I would vigorously object to as would the overwhelming majority of Americans.<br /><br />You would probably argue that terrorists are a different matter. They're organized, they deal in deception and subterfuge, and they have learned how to subvert ordinary citizens with troubling ease. Sounds kind of like the old style Mafia to me.<br /><br />It is not possible to pursue a war on terrorists. Terrorists have no country. They have no official army. No uniforms. No government. They have no overall structure that we can militarily defeat and force a final surrender from that will be binding on all terrorists everywhere.<br /><br />Giving up a further portion of our American freedoms so that our government can do it's rather deficient best to secure a phantom victory over people who just enjoy killing others in the name of religious fervor is self defeating.<br /><br />Government may, in some cases, help us protect ourselves. The final responsibility, fortunately or otherwise, lies with us as individuals, not some faceless, unaccountable bureaucrat in a government office we can't even locate.Schismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18195996747623767263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-78812262036952312762011-06-17T07:44:16.157-07:002011-06-17T07:44:16.157-07:00What the Muslim terrorists can't appreciate an...What the Muslim terrorists can't appreciate and will never understand is the indestructability of the American fabric when it comes to liberty, freedom, love of country, and our way of life. We can fight among ourselves, but if foreigners take a punch they will have a nest of hornets swooping down on them. These cowards don't have any problem intimidating in 7th century rat-hole cultures because they are the only ones with weapons. So they can afford to feel tough there. They underestimate the fact that there are probably 100 million Americans with guns and if law enforcement and politicaly correct politicians won't deal with violence in our streets the People's militia will go packing with their sidearms and take care of it. Camel jockeys are not going to change our way of life any more than we are going to change theirs. The day they detonate a nuclear device on US soil they had better be prepared to have that big sandbox they call home turned into glass. And that will take care of the Muslim terrorist problem. But of course, we need leaders with big kahunas to do that. And right now we one that was castrated somewhere along the line.Will Harmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517056183463981595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-59889913705184842432011-06-16T17:37:35.997-07:002011-06-16T17:37:35.997-07:00Islam isn't even a religion, it's a SECT, ...Islam isn't even a religion, it's a SECT, an evil sect of perverts, child molesters and murderers.. <br /><br />Evil to it's very core, and becoming more-so every day that passes... <br /><br />A Muslim *hit list* in MY neighborhood won't work, they stick out like a sore thumb, and Texans are generally prepared for most eventualities... <br /><br />We enforce .45 caliber justice on those that attack us...

Just because Muslims may choose not to act on the commands of their religious texts doesn't alter that fact. Jihad is an obligation for any practicer of Islam and that means destroying everyone else. Which includes Muslims that belong to different sects. The Sunnis and the Shiites have been killing each other for centuries. There can be no peace for those outside of Islam and there can be no peace within Islam. It is cannot be a religion of peace. Based on its practices and teachings it can only be categorized as a criminal organization masquerading as a religion.Rich Kozlovichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745960671409518147noreply@blogger.com
