Letter from one 'Angry Woman'
I don't know who wrote it but they should have
signed it. Some powerful words. This woman should run for president.
Written by a housewife from New Jersey and
sounds like it! This is one ticked off lady.
'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we?
Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our
shores on September 11, 2001?
Were people from all over the world, mostly
Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan ,
across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in
Pennsylvania?
Did nearly three thousand men, women and
children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't
they?
And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the
Koran was 'desecrated' when an overworked American soldier kicked it or
got it wet?...Well, I don't. I don't care at all.
I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns
himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on
9/11.
I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in
the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession
of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia
I'll care when these thugs tell the world they
are sorry for chopping off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through
his gurgling slashed throat.
I'll care when the cowardly so-called
'insurgents' in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of
disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.
I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow
themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children
within range of their suicide .
I'll care when the American media stops
pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from
international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of
Rights.
In the meantime, when I hear a story about a
brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know
this: I don't care.
When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked
Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a
college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don't care.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the
head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you
can take it to the bank: I don't care.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a
Koran and a prayer mat, and fed 'special' food that is paid for by my
tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,'
you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care.
And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes
it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, Jimmy Crack Corn
and-you guessed it-I don't care!!
If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on
to all your E-mail friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people
responsible for this ridiculous behavior!
If you don't agree, then by all means hit the
delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain
when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our
great Country! And may I add:
'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering
if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that
problem' -- Ronald Reagan
I have another quote that I would like to add
AND.......I hope you forward all this.
'If we ever forget that we're One Nation Under
God, then we will be a nation gone under' Also by.. Ronald Reagan
One last thought for the day:
In case we find ourselves starting to believe
all the Anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember
England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview.
When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in
America , he said: 'A simple way to take measure of a country is to look
at how many want in.. And how many want out.'
Only two defining forces have ever offered to
die for you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The American G. I.
One died for your soul, the other for your
freedom.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON,
AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM.
AMEN!

There will probably be people here now taking offense and picking your post apart. Afraid of being seen as intolerant or unkind toward our enemies. (I am sure you saw the thread on torture,)-but I liked the sentiment here anyway. :)

I would expect the President of the United States to act in the longterm interest of this country. If this letter writer's world view continued to be the world view of our President it would not be in the interests of this country.
What Regan understood is that the Soviet Ideology was doomed to failure. We didn't have to defeat it, it would defeat itself. You oppose it. You resist it. But it defeats itself.
We have the better system. We will resist radical Islamic fundamentalist. We sill oppose radical Islamic Fundamentalists. We will arrest and punish those that commit crimes against the US no matter what their creed. But in the end it will be radical Islamic Fundamentalism that will defeat radical Islamic Fundamentalism.
Let's show a little confidence in our society and system of government. Constitutional Democracy. Constitutional Democracy is a messy, frustrating way to live but it is better than every other option.

As a proud Muslim i can't say that i blame this lady for her feeling this way she has the right to feel any way she wants and I'm not going to sit here and say that I can feel any different than anyone that has read this post. My reason for saying this is plan and simple people that cause people that don't understand the difference between real Muslims and the ones that just use the name of Islam as a cover to do all kinds of crazy things and as a result they in turn make all Muslims look bad, and by no means are all Muslims like that.Are they ,and if anyone can say honestly that all Muslims are like that , i can't get mad all i can to is say to each their own. I will be passing this on because everyone has their own opinion and what you eat doesn't make me shit. and thanks to flip for posting this more people need to learn to voice their opinion

Why do religious people hate so many and fear other religions? Just wondering....................
