Jinn of Current Events

Following another disgusting Palestinian act of terrorism where at least 11 were killed as a bomber blew up a Jerusalem bus full of schoolchildren, Bush stated: we are going to continue to work toward peace in the Middle East. Two states living side by side is the vision and we will continue to work with those who share that vision for the sake of the Israeli people and for the sake of the Palestinians.

What he should have said instead:

• the goal is and remains peace for civilized people, but...
• we thought promising two states side-by-side would help civilize the Palestinians;
• it obviously didn't and doesn't work;
• from now on we will work exclusively for the sake of the Israeli people and peaceful Palestinians, if any can be found;
• such peaceful Palestinian will show their dedication to peace by denouncing the terrorists they know, rejecting all terrorist leaders, and/or moving out of their fake "refugee camps" and away from terrorist headquarters (multiple destinations are available, e.g. Egypt and Jordan);
• any Palestinian who performs, sponsors, or publicly supports terrorist acts will be considered an enemy combatant, to be executed without further warning; signs of public support for terrorism shall include dancing in the streets after news of attacks, throwing rocks at soldiers, calling for the murder of non-Muslims, and participating in the funerals of terrorists.

To allow the creation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza strip would be suicide for Israel. There is no other solution but to kick the Palestinians out of their terrorist-infested rat-holes, saving the peaceful ones if they can be found and make themselves known. Not one more child in Israel must be allowed to be murdered. No compromise is possible with such barbarians. None. 

Muslims claim that Mahomet and his followers had a great Islamic sense of humour. For inspiration, they provide examples of their wonderful wit: selling a friend into slavery; teasing a child whose pet just died; telling a trader he'd be a valuable slave; telling an old woman that she will not enter Paradise; getting an idiot to kill someone else's camel then denouncing him.

These people are so funny. You see, it's the religion of laughter, not slaughter. 

Pointing to past misdeeds of Christians is no excuse for the present misdeeds of Muslims. The reason Christianity lost its power and lethality is that reason took over from faith in the West, and the principle of separation between State and Religion became a central tenet of our civilization.

By contrast, Islam teaches that the State is merely control of the area occupied by the self-professed slaves of Allah (along with persecuted dhimmis) but there is no Muslim concept of: individual rights, the separation of State and Religion, and Freedom of Thought. None whatsoever.

Since a true Muslim follows Islam in denying the value of freedom, while those few who try to integrate freedom within Islam are apostates who must be killed according to the leaders of that religion, it is quite normal to worry about Muslims as an ideological group.

Keep your eyes open, recognize evil when you see it, denounce it, and fight it.
