http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/10/22/mullahomar.statement/index.html See? They know they're losing (of course they won't admit it), and they are having trouble keeping their own forces united. This is good. We must keep fighting. We must not let up. Get it? Or are you still too closed-minded and/or terrorist-supportive to accept it? .chulium.
We need to focus on fighting actual terrorism and not waging wars for the purpose of securing our own interests in a region. Unfortunately the Iraq war is serving as a great recruitment tool for terrorists. This is a war between ideologies not states. Now that we are fully committed, it will be going on for decades. The Taliban is making a resurgence because we didn't stay focused on fighting terrorism.
I believe we can all fight terrorism right here on the Internet with words by spreading the truth that Islam is a lie that teaches hated and intolerance.
How is inciting anger in people fighting terrorism? That's like telling a guy holding an AK-47 and pointing it at you that he's balding, has a small penis and you screwed his mother and wife last night.
Oh so you think we should all hide in terror than? I try not to name call and belittle people so I guess I won't ever have to worry about that now will I? Why don't you do some research and back that mouth full of marbles post you just made?
If you'd like to I guess you can. But posting your messages of hate against the religion of Islam all over DP really does nothing to stop terrorism.
why dont you back that mouth of yours about how Islam teaches of hatred and terrorism? do you even know what islam stands for? what is the purpose?
How about you take your own advice first? Better yet, why not enlighten all of us ignorant folk on how telling millions of people that their religion, which you obviously know little about, is nothing but hate and the SOLE cause of all the terrorism in the world? Take your time, we'll wait.
That's you opinion, not mine. I'll wait until you can tell me how exactly you know how much information is in my brain. The day you can prove you know that is the day I will convert to Islam. I don't think its the "SOLE" cause.
So, enlighten us (or at least me). What will be accomplished by telling millions of people that Islam preaches violence as far as terrorism goes? Why do you think this is something productive? Why do you assume that someone of the Islam faith would listen to someone not of their faith? Is all the terrorism committed in the name of Islam in the world? Is Islam the reason or simply a vehicle by which people, who would otherwise still do what they do, operate? Also, just what do you mean by "terrorism?" Are you talking about just about acts against the USA or all activities in the world that can be defined as terrorism? I'm open to hearing intelligent comments.
Yawn, have just got back from 30+ days in muslim countries. can't say I like the religion but joe average is just the same as everyone else - trying to get by and maybe even get ahead. Lets be very clear that the minority who spread hate and terror are just that.
Mate, you honestly need to get a new hobbie. All these anti-terrorist threads are immensley boring... Why not search the internet for something else eh?
it amazes me that some of the people on this forum who are so critical of everything the US does are not commenting on this news...hmm..
We ARE fighting terrorists (we have troops in Afghanistan, you know) and we are NOT over there for oil. How come oil imports haven't increased in the past 6 years? C'mon - it's better than letting the terrorists breed freely - they know they're falling apart, but the liberals that support them don't want to admit it. In some ways I'd say they're more terrorists than Al Qaeda is. We are committed. Unfortunately, new leadership can change that, and probably would prematurely. This is a war between good and evil - not Bush and bin Laden, not between the US and Iraq. It's between good and evil. We're fighting it in our own country as well. Unfortunately evil ideology has gripped the majority of the polls. It probably will be going on for decades, indeed. They're making a resurgence as an attempt to come back at us because we've hindered them so badly - we are focused on terrorists - if we weren't, we wouldn't still be in Iraq and Afghanistan FIGHTING them! Who do you think is killing our troops and Iraqi civilians every day? TERRORISTS! Car bombers - suiciders - IED's - even children bred to kill. These are our enemies. Islam is a religion of peace. The extremists in the middle east infer it as a violent method. Not all Muslims are bad. There are good Islamic people. Look who's talkin - I suggest YOU do some research. Meet some true Muslims, get out of the media and the liberal brainwashing techniques - Islamists are not bad people. Extremists are - but not all Muslims. I concur. Obviously he does not. FACT, you mean? That's the fact - tell me how many terrorists disbanded because of your post. None of your posts here have been intellectual or intelligent. You're ignoring the majority of text being typed for you to read and comprehend... either that or you fail in ability to do so. It's not a hobby - I feel that reminding the public who our real enemy is is a contributor to national patriotism and our effort in the war against terrorism. National and public feelings of good morale and karma are just as essential to winning the war as sending troops to fight it. In a wierd kind of way, I feel those still against the forces of evil are troops in and of themselves, just without a gun and bulletproof vesting... and we don't travel overseas to make the great sacrifice of preserving our freedom, our national and world security, and the good of humanity. And thanks, by the way, for saying I have no life. It's because they support the terrorists (as they obviously are not supporting the US) - and refuse to admit they know their allies are losing to the good guys.
The saddest thing is that you think that if you don't 100% support the US then you must be an enemy. Think again. The US makes mistakes and doesn't warrant 100% support. That doesn't mean we don't support the direction or goals of the US. It may just mean we don't like the tactics.
I. The military strike in Afghanistan was indeed linked to terrorism. However, the now debacle in Iraq wasn't. Rather than sending more troops to Afghanistan to close in on those responsible for 9-11, some in our government seized the opportunity to take control of a country that produces oil. II. As to oil. You need to familiarize yourself with who produces oil in the world, who is loyal to whom, what oil means to our country, and why securing a stable source of it is of the utmost importance. The action isn't about what we need now. It's about what we need later--especially with the increasing consumption and competition from China. I. Who is good and who is evil? Why? What is the "evil ideology" that's gripped the polls? II. As to Iraq, if someone attacks your country and you fight back, are you a terrorist too? In a war, aren't people supposed to defend themselves?
You are jumping to conclusions - if you're not for the forces trying to cease the evil guys, then you must be for the flourishing of the evil guys - who else is going to try and stop them? NO ONE! Who IS helping us try to stop them? NO ONE! This is a different kind of war than what we've ever fought - you must realize this. It's not uniform soldiers against uniform soldiers. This is a war where we don't exactly know who our enemy is. That's why we seem to not be going anywhere; because our enemy is EVERYWHERE.
