I hate it when the media plays up the "stories" of these sociopaths like this. They did the same thing to that stupid kid who shot up Virginia Tech. They're calling these "letters" just like they called the Virginia Tech kid's stuff his "manifesto." These are nothing more than the deranged scribblings of the criminally insane, we should call them that and treat them as such. But taking these writings seriously, we are elevating this man to a larger-than-life status.article wrote:The letters, written in pencil between May and October, provide a rare glimpse into the thoughts of a self-described jihadist, according to one national security expert. Muhammad describes in his own words how he took his declaration of faith in a Memphis mosque; his motives for moving to Yemen and his attempt to travel to Somalia for weapons training; how and why he planned multiple attacks in the U.S, including ones in Nashville and Florence, Ky., that didn't go as intended; and how he allegedly executed the Little Rock assault.

Well, if you take the tact that I do... that Islam is about 200 some years behind us, that would fit in quite well actually.ThunderBunny wrote:Perhaps cults or religions aren't necessary when it comes to the criminally insane- but what is the baptist equivalent to a 'mujahid'? Jewish? Mormon?

Though if you really want a Christian version, just go over to Africa in Rowanda(sp?) I think it is? The Christians started a religious blood feud by going into the Islamic villages and essentially trying to destroy them all. I forget what they call them but there you go.
Seeing as how you will more than likely never be in the armed forces and thus never have to prepare yourself for a situation where your demise is very real, you will never know what crap you just posted about military chaplains really is.null0010 wrote:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mujahideen
I think a good analogy would be the idea of a "good Christian soldier" that was so popular in the era of World Wars, and nonsense such as army chaplains.
What bothers so many of us is it has been declared politically incorrect to discuss the reason why they are so far behind. If you start a religion today you wouldn't ecpect it's followers to suddenly revert back to medieval customs and philosophy. So why is it so wrong to want to address the obvious which is that far too many of the followers of Islam have adopted a xenophobic and extremely violent mindset conveniently sanctioned by Allah according to hi number one henchmen the warrior prophet who we infidels dare not mention by name *cough*muhammed the buttlicking asshat*cough*Mjolnir wrote:Well, if you take the tact that I do... that Islam is about 200 some years behind us, that would fit in quite well actually. ...ThunderBunny wrote:Perhaps cults or religions aren't necessary when it comes to the criminally insane- but what is the baptist equivalent to a 'mujahid'?

Are you sure you're not just using the politically correct thing as an excuse to remain ignorant?

It is bad to say military Chaplains are nonsense. OTOH, having our govt. place our troop in situations where there is no hope of winning a conclusive victory, of tying our troops hand with limited engagement scenarios such as the Vietnam war exemplified, then that is bad also. I can only hope none of you who are of draft age, have to be placed in such a situation. You might want to stop in at your local church and offer a prayer of thanks for those who were and thank God that you won't be.Neo wrote:You say that like it's a bad thing. ^_~woodchip wrote:Seeing as how you will more than likely never be in the armed forces and thus never have to prepare yourself for a situation where your demise is very real, you will never know what crap you just posted about military chaplains really is.null0010 wrote:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mujahideen

Aren't you and Will essentially saying the same thing? The essence being Islam has regressed and being able to talk about it openly is not PC. Perhaps if more people in the public limelight presented info such as you did, Muslim people might start swinging the pendulum the other way. With the lights out, the cockroaches will flourish.Mjolnir wrote:Are you sure you're not just using the politically correct thing as an excuse to remain ignorant?

I will however explain why they are in the position they are in just for clarification, this is pulled from my memory, so I may forget names/cities but you get the idea. Islam actually used to be a fairly tolerant religion(for the time period it could even be considered very tolerant), with a concept of really wanting to explore/learn about the world(Algebra is arabic, a large amount of stars have arabic names, the list goes on). I forget which city it was but it was a major Islamic city where they allowed jews, christians, pagans, and what today would even be known as agnostics/atheists to debate ideas and the like... untill, as religion will normally bring about, some ahole philosopher/priest(whatever the equivalent is) literally pushed the idea that "math is the work of the devil", it caught on politically with higher ups and ever since then, quite literally again... the Islamic world has never gotten back up onto it's scientific/moral feet.
The other half of this problem is based on what they perceive to have once been the great success of their civilization and how they do not seem to have that success anymore, and most seem to take the tact that instead of progressing forward they must revert to old concepts to reattain this past glory. If you look at footage of Egypt, there is a huge rally in the 1950s or 60s I believe and not a single woman is wearing a hajab or burqa, they only came back into "style" with a perceived notion of continued decline... it's really quite a conundrum.
There is nothing xenophobic about my rant.Mjolnir wrote:It was similar, then he ironically spiraled into his own xenophobic rant about Allah and Muhammad, etc, etc. I felt I should give a more educated/informative view of it.

This sure sounds awfully xenophobic, hateful, and jingoistic to me. It also sounds like what a lot of blowhards were saying directly after the 2001 attacks. And where has that attitude gotten us?

Well considering the allegation that I was spewing xenophobia came before I wrote what you quoted I have to think the charge was unfounded unless you want to tell me Mjolnir was able to see into the future...null0010 wrote:...This sure sounds awfully xenophobic, hateful, and jingoistic to me.

] Oh, and Will's statement, while ethnically charged, isn't quite deserving of the \"xenophobic, hateful, and jingoistic\" label.
