Bonjour lads! I hate forwards. Here’s one I received, followed by my reply[rebuttal]. Enjoy!

Letter from one ‘Angry Woman’

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!

Letter to one angry woman:

To agree with such a viewpoint is to admit ignorance; to believe that events occur in a vacuum, ignoring cause and effect and motivation.
Soccer moms in America ought to stop pointing fingers through their stereotyped, ethnocentric worldview and begin to ask questions such as why?

Israel is an illegal state, in which Palestinians were raped of their land and robbed of statehood by the United Nations (aka, U.S.) in 1948. If we were strong-armed into bloody submission, we’d be strapping bombs to our chests and fighting for our homeland. Ironically, this is not our homeland, since we robbed it from the Natives through one of the bloodiest eras of genocide in human history. Wounded Knee is more than a metaphor.

The Crusades were invoked and carried out by Christian zealots. The Muslims, led by Saladin, were trying to protect their homeland.

Despite our common [brainwashed] belief (fed to us through state-mandated education), the Renaissance was sparked by the flow of ideas from the more advanced Middle Eastern cultures back into [Dark Age-era] Europe.

Most religions, including Christianity and Islam, are nearly identical. The differences are rarely more than semantics and variations in customs.

Violence begets violence, so fuck these fascist, power-elite Republicans who are responsible for senseless bloody excursions onto the Muslim Holy Land that has done nothing positive and so much negative, including but not limited to: ruining the American Dollar, killing young Americans and innocent Arab civilians, destabilized a once al-Queda-free country and turned it into the epicenter of terrorism in the world, created a new young generation of Arabs who will grow up without parents and family–killed by American bombs, and prone to turning to Islamic fundamentalism and, though I hesitate to use the term because it has too often become a blanket statement to identify an enemy apparition, terrorism.

Who are the terrorists?

Ps. Fuck you, angry, ignorant woman for perpetuating the cycle and extending it forever because of your bias against people whom you’ve no understanding of their beautiful, if complicated culture. Islam is not the terrorist; power and perhaps religion in general are the implicit parties.

…And if you’re upset by the rising price of gasoline in the United States, you must understand that the prices will never stabilize unless the oil-producing regions of the world are stabilized… which will not happen until Western boots are removed from Muslim land. Oh yeah, and American gasoline is cheap compared to most places in the world, ie. Europe, where gasoline is nearly $8 per gallon. Furthermore, as someone who also pays these prices to drive, I also feel the pain in my wallet; however, I know that the wallet is the only thing that changes American behavior. We’ve been gluttonous and arrogant far too long, and the time has come for a more humble, sustainable America.

Cheers,
dylan
