Is There A Terrorist Living On Your Street?

Ok, well I'm opening a whole can of worms here, but quite frankly, I'm sick of hearing about current affairs. In actual fact, I didn't open the can of worms, George W Bush did. It's his fault, so if you're annoyed at anything I'm about to write, then please write to Mr Bush with your complaints at:

Mr George W Bush Jr.
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

Thanks.

Right, back to the task at hand. Terrorists, Muslims, Extremists, Arabs, call em what you will, they're pissing me off. I know that this may be a socially delicate topic, but fuckit, I'm gonna get straight to the point. Now I'm not a racist, although I am white. Being white in itself would seem like a fine reason for certain extremists to bomb my house. You may think that I'm exaggerating, and I am, in a way, but everything I say is my opinion of the truth.

Now it is a terrible sterotype that Arabs and Muslims are extremists and or terrorists, and I know that for the large part this is untrue. However, you do have to admit that there certainly seem to be a lot more nutters belonging to the Muslim religion than any other. You don't hear about Buddhists or Hindus going mad over the white devil and his antics do you? How often do Rastafarians or Confuscianists declare "Death to France!"???

You may know what I'm talking about now. Yes, it's this.



When I first saw this, I did think it was quite a bad racial slur, and I couldn't believe that this was printed in a Danish newspaper back in September 2005. However, upon reading this article on the BBC News website, I'm beginning to think that the cartoon may be correct after all.

Naturally, the Islamic world is not happy with this cartoon strip. However, instead of just condemming the cartoon and what it represents, in all their sanity and non-fanaticalism, many Muslims protestors have decided to go crazy-eight on everybody, including themselves. Rather than write loads about this, I'll just include quotes from the BBC article, with my own comments beneath. I'll also include a few photos that I have yoinked from the BBC.



The background is that September last year, the picture was released by a Danish Newspaper. Less than a month later, Muslim Ambassadors complain to the Danish Prime Minister. In early January a Norweigian publication printed the picture. Then on January 30th Gunmen raided the EU's offices in Gaza, demanding an apology, which they got from the Danish paper a day later. France, Spain, Germany and Italy print the picture the following day, assumedly as part of news articles relating to the gunmen in Gaza. On February 4th 2006, Syrians in Damascus attack the Danish and Norweigian Embassies. The day before yesterday, more protestors in Beirut ransack and burn the Danish Embassy, completely gutting the building.


Workers of the Embassy rummage and stuff, after it was torched by protestors.

"Two people died when protesters turned on the American airbase at Bagram, even though the US has had no involvement in the cartoons' publication."
- If you ask me, this just says it all really. Kill the White Devil Oppressors. Dirka Dirka.



At least 5 people have been killed in relation to protests so far. There have been some peaceful protests, but as usual many Muslims appear to be lacking somewhat in self control. Many protests saw participants throwing rocks and stones at embassies, and in one in particular a shootout with police left 2 protestors dead, and 6 policemen were injured.



"In Bagram district, a peaceful protest in the morning turned violent when around 300 'bandits and gangsters' tried to enter the US base"
- What exactly does "Bandits and Gangsters" mean? Were they just waiting for an opportunity to storm the US base and get themselves shot? Who verified that this 300 were gangsters and bandits? Where did they all suddenly appear from? Were they definately not protestors that worked themselves into such a crazy that they demanded the blood of the Westerners? And by storming the US base surely this displays the fact that they are not only angry, but stupid also? Whilst you can't blame them for wanting to kill some Americans after everything that's happened over the past few years, but I mean, comeon, if you must storm a US base, you should at the very least suspect that you'll probably get shot, right?



"In the port city of Bosaso, in the autonomous Somali region of Puntland, police shot dead one protester and three more were injured after demonstrators threw stones and barricaded streets outside international aid agency buildings."
- Well this is just ridiculous. Why attack the very people who have left their own countries to go and help people? Especially when they are helping your people? You resort to attacking these people because of the colour of their skin, and has nothing to to with the merit of their actions, which makes you no better than the average racist bigot.



"They want to test our feelings," protester Mawli Abdul Qahar Abu Israra told the BBC. "They want to know whether Muslims are extremists or not. Death to them and to their newspapers," he said."

- My point made exactly.




"Demonstrators shouted "death to Denmark" and "death to France", and called for diplomats and soldiers from both countries to be kicked out of Afghanistan."
-Ok, so far, these protestors has displayed violence, stupidity, and now they show how much they really know of the situation they are in the middle of. France has long been a strong supporter of the Arabic countries when it comes to the US and their 'reign of terror', so I won't get into that now. Needless to say, I have even less support for the US, who as Osama Bin Laden put it so well himself, “he moved the tyranny and suppression of freedom to his own country, and they called it the Patriot Act under the disguise of fighting terrorism.” - However that discussion is for another time.



I'd like to apologise to any Muslims and Arabs who may read this, and aren't crazy terrorists. I know obviously that every one of you aren't crazed murderous suicide bombers, but the very people trying to defend themselves against this cartoon, are only seeming to prove the cartoon right. However, in all true honesty, it's not just about Muslims. I am of the strong opinion that a great deal of the world's problems could be dealt with quickly by ridding the world of religion. Look back through history and there seems to be one main link between all of the instances of genocide and war; Religion.



A basic Google search will tell you all about the many instances of religious genocide, all across the world. Barring Buddhism, nearly all religions seem to have gone through a phase of persecuting and killing non-believers, and more than one is still at it! However, that's another story.



In short, my overall point is to these Zealots, not your average Muslim or Arab on the street (unless of course they are one of the aforementioned Zealots). By kicking off everytime you don't like something, you only make yourselves look like murderous fools. I'm not particularly happy with the state of my own Government or it's Allies', but going on a religious rampage of death is just not the answer. You're only giving yourselves, and the less crazy among your religion a terrible name.



And as your your average Muslim over here, stop being so bloody pig headed. We know you're not all terrorists/Extremists/Evil Nazils from the future/whatever, but shoving your religion down our throats is also not the right way to go about things. We don't demand to build Churches in your country (any more) do we? English people in Arab countries don't demand that you build Christian only schools, yet you demand muslim only schools. Surely this just increases the segregation?

You have to realise that you are in our Country, and we have our own religions and traditions. You demand we respect your views and requirements according to your religion (and our spineless politicians in the age of Political-Correctness give it all up, plus more), but at the same time you completely ignore the things that we believe in.


Where the hell are they getting these flags from?!?

If everyone would stop being so suspicious and racist, then we could all get along a lot better. I don't mean to offend people, but the whole situation is stupid.

Strange coincedence, but this morning as I go out to get the morning paper, I notice holes in my American flag. I put it down to age, weathering etc. Today as I arrive home from work, I find my flag in tatters where it meets the pole and see a squirrel perched on the pole shredding my flag. I have anti American squirells attacking me in Texas. I am calling George Bush and the Danish and we will blow up any squirell we see and then satirize their corpses in cartoon form.
