    What does that have to do with hating America?

    I don't think "hate" is the appropriate word.

    And what you are saying Eliminator is the old line, "America: love it or leave it."

    How about this line: "America: love it and try to make changes for the better."
    Obviously. Such black and white mentality since 9-11.

    Still can't answer the questions surasak, ********

    milkman, I'll stick with the Love it or LEAVE it attitude. If you don't love it get the fuck out, who the hell wants you. All nice when you can make money and enjoy a better life but don't say shit about my archaic religion or anything against how I deal with people that do anything wrong (stealing bread, having a NON muslim as BF/GF or being raped.........).

    I don't need to live up to the muslim way of thinking, I'm not in their fucking countries and I don't want them to force their idealology on me or be forced to be PC correct to not enjoy my life as it was before the pricks got there.

    ^^^ but it's OK for America to force their ideology on Muslims? What the hell are we doing in Iraq then? Spreading good cheer?

    Re: your allegations of my hating America: what's to answer? You made the allegation, so, back it up. Show me where I said "I hate America." I don't have to answer baseless allegations. You know, in America, people are innocent until proven guilty. So, prove your point or retract it. Prove that I hate America.

    OK surasak, maybe by milkmans' idea, HATE is not the appropriate word, maybe dislike or disdain for the country would be more appropriate. You damn sure don't pass any good comments about the US that I have seen. The only positive I see from you is that you make your money working there and think that is your ONLY motivation to be there.

    Hopefully, the reason the US went to Iraq was to get rid of the Sadman that was killing thousands upon thousands of anyone that did not follow his ideals and also to stop him from hiding terrorists but then hell, I think the saudis fund a lot of terrorist activity to get more OIL MONEY. Hell, it could just be that all the rich fuckers in the world are playing everyone and really could't give a shit if we all died (except for them of course).

    It's the muslims that decided to leave their country to go to a new place, why can't they adjust, why do we have to adjust to them?

    What religion are you? I don't have one, I don't need some crackpot dead guy from the the koran, bible or any other storybook, telling me right from wrong.

    To tell the truth, I'm tired of all the BS that all of us post on this and every other forum. There's not very much any of us lowly pricks are going to be able to do about it anyway. I take a stab at you and you stab back, what's the point?

    I guess I get tired of the constant crap of, the US did this and the US did that and some of you guys think that the rest of humanity is not involved with these decisions being made. You say that only Americans are the sheep following what is fed to them and I totally disagree. The majority of the world are nothing but sheep following their own leaders from the crap they spout. The powers that be don't want to hear from ANYONE that has a brain to think for themselves and that goes not only for governments but religion also.

    I don't hate America if you are talking about the geography of it. I don't hate America if you are talking about a representative democracy. I don't hate America if you are referring to the inhabitants. I don't hate what America stands for if you are referring to self-sacrifice and helping those in need such as what follows natural disasters.

    But that doesn't mean I give a green light or support America's government on every policy domestic and foreign. There are many good things we so such as provide food aid to starving people, supplies to disaster areas such as what followed the tsunami in 2004. But likewise there are many bad things we do as well. Involvement in wars that aren't a direct threat to our sovereignty. The U.S. military is guilty of some of the same crimes were accuse others of committing. We give financial support to countries that aren't democracies when it would be illegal to use the same funds here to discriminate. I'm not a liberal, pinko, commie. I think Ronald Reagan was the best President we had. But he still supported illegal and immoral policies (such as the Contras, ironically, who used civilian clothes and attacked civilian targets..guess that's OK since it was a terrorist group supported by America, wasn't it?)

    I'm not a blind patriot and for some reason people of the 'black and white' mentality just have a difficult time with that.

    Hopefully, the reason the US went to Iraq was to get rid of the Sadman that was killing thousands upon thousands of anyone that did not follow his ideals and also to stop him from hiding terrorists but then hell, I think the saudis fund a lot of terrorist activity to get more OIL MONEY.

    Yeah, well, we were sold a bill of goods. Misled into believing that Saddam was a threat to us. The American public can be stupid sometimes but a majority think the war was a mistake.

    It's the muslims that decided to leave their country to go to a new place, why can't they adjust, why do we have to adjust to them?
    What are you referring to?

    What religion are you? I don't have one, I don't need some crackpot dead guy from the the koran, bible or any other storybook, telling me right from wrong.
    I'm a Buddhist. I moved away from the southern U.S. because to be a non-Christian there invites all kinds of harassment and threats to one's life. I have never had a Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, Taoist, etc. harass me and phone me day and night trying to get me to convert. I tired of that and packed up what I could carry and moved away from it.


    I guess I get tired of the constant crap of, the US did this and the US did that and some of you guys think that the rest of humanity is not involved with these decisions being made. You say that only Americans are the sheep following what is fed to them and I totally disagree. The majority of the world are nothing but sheep following their own leaders from the crap they spout. The powers that be don't want to hear from ANYONE that has a brain to think for themselves and that goes not only for governments but religion also.
    The problem TODAY is that America is the only superpower. With power comes responsibility NOT the right to abuse such power. The vast majority of this world are in fact sheep, but, the wolves in most countries don't have the massive political and military power at their disposal as the wolves in Washington do. That's what I object to. If the American people aren't willing to take responsibility to elect the right leaders then perhaps they shouldn't complain when their liberties are taken away. The way I see it now is so many people get frightened at the mention of the T word (terror-ist) that certain leaders now utter it to get a green light for what they want (illegal wars and invasions) without question (much as the C word (communism) did years ago. And, like years ago, if you object to or dare question American policy you get labelled a traitor, sympathizer, or a 'liberal, pinko scum.'

    I'm likely far more conservative than any person on this forum but I'll be damned if I automatically support every engagement or policy my government takes part in and I'll be damned if my patriotism is questioned because of that.

    The last thing the world needs is more sheep.

    what hasn't been mentioned yet, is that the Southern Thais are not only of a different religion, but also of a different race, they are Malay.
    Concerning "Islamofascism", yes there are influences from radical arab Islamists.
    Practical solutions:
    1. don't censor websites, let people who live in Thailand read about PULO and make their own minds up.
    2. implement what the reconciliation council has to say, and implement it, rather than paying lip-service to it.
    3. tighten immigration control. No working visas for extremist arab teachers of Islam, however much money they throw about.
    4.the 3 provinces could be a semi-autonomous region, protecting the rights of the ethnic Thai-Buddhist minority. Put prominent PULO spokespersons and Muslim clerics in charge - they screw up, it's their mistake.

    The River War (1899), Winston Churchill's account of the Sudanese campaign, there's a memorable passage ... :

    "How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

    "Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome."

    Italics mine.

    Excellent passage BM!

    Winston Churchill was very astute.

    Now all we need are more men like him and General "blackjack" Pershing!

    And for people to recognize what the jihadists are.

    Nice bit of research Boon Mee.

    I think if you substitute the words 'Moslems' for 'Right-wing Christians' then you have another valuable comment on modern social ills.

    When Christianity starts teaching that evolution is a load of crap, and that dinosaurs were on earth 4000 years ago, and no, sonny, you can't have that free medicine we're handing out unless you swear allegiance to the church, then you wonder why no one has yet mustered up the strength to invade the USA. Maybe all other nations should get together to stop the spread of Creationism and charity dependent on religious conversion...

    Churchill may have been a prolific writer and fair statesman but he was hardly representative of the people. Couldn't wait to get rid of him after the war. An aristocrat born into wealth was never really going to be the voice of the people.
    The truth is out there, but then I'm stuck in here.

    Polite is not enough. Islam should have a permanent exhibit at Disney's Epcot Center. It should have special preservation status in our modern times as the only remaining example of how a religion is allowed unquestionable unconditional respect from people. Islam gets UNESCO status!

    So how do explain why Moslems haven't contributed to the modern world?
    Where is the Islam space shuttle?....The katusha rocket?
    Sure there are fanatics on both sides but correct me if I'm wrong I don't think christians are strapping claymore mines to themselves an blowing up buses full of commuters during rush hour.
    Or I can't recall the last time a christian hijacked and airliner to harm people. Can you?

    That's because we don't say "A Christian, Tim McVeigh, blew up the Murrah Federal Building a few years ago." Nor do we say "John Doe, a Christian, killed his neighbor last night over a disputed pile of dog shite left by Mr. Van's dog."

    Ironically, the first known incident of airline piracy was carried out by Israel:

    The first act of air piracy in the history of civil aviation was carried out by Israel, in Dec. 1954, when a civilian Syrian airliner was forced down in Tel Aviv and its passengers and crew held for days, despite international condemnation.
    1958 November 1: First Cuba-to-U.S. hijacking. A Cubana en route from Miami to Varadero to Havana was hijacked by Cuban militants. The hijackers were trying to land at Sierra Cristal in Eastern Cuba to deliver weapons to Raúl Castro's rebels. As night approached, eventually the plane ran out of fuel and tried an emergency landing at the Preston sugar mill, it did not make it and instead landed in the ocean breaking apart killing most passengers and crew. [1]
    1960: The first US-to-Cuba hijacking
    1968: The first Arab-Israeli hijacking, as three members of Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) hijack an El Al plane to Rome. Diverting to Algiers the negotiations extend over forty days. Both the hijackers and the hostages go free. This was the first and the only successful hijacking of an El Al flight.
    1970 May 15: Dymshits-Kuznetsov hijacking affair, a group of Soviet refuseniks attempt to hijack aircraft
    1970, September: As part of the Dawson's Field hijackings, PFLP members attempt to hijack four aircraft simultaneously. They succeed on three and force the planes to fly to the Jordanian desert, where the hijackers blow up the aircraft after releasing most of the hostages. The final hostages are freed in exchange for seven Palestinian prisoners. The fourth attack on an El Al plane by two people including Leila Khalid is foiled by armed guards aboard.
    1971: D. B. Cooper hijacks Northwest Orient Airlines flight 305 and obtains $200,000 ransom for the release of the plane's passengers. Cooper proceeds to parachute from the rear of the Boeing 727 and is never found.
    1972 November 15: First airline hijacking in Australia. A lone hijacker armed with a .22 sawn-off rifle and a knife in flight on Ansett Airlines flight 232 from Adelaide to Alice Springs with 28 passengers and a crew of 4. Followed by gun battle at Alice Springs Airport resulting in the death of the hijacker Miloslav Hrabinec and a police officer critically wounded.
    1974 February 22: Samuel Byck shot and killed Maryland Aviation Administration Police Officer Neal Ramsburg at BWI before storming aboard Delta Air Lines flight 523 to Atlanta. He gained access to the cockpit while the plane was on the ground, intending to assassinate President Nixon by flying the DC-9 into the White House. He shot both the pilot and the copilot before he was shot through the aircraft window by another officer.
    1976: The Palestinian hijack of Air France Flight 139 is brought to an end at Entebbe Airport, Uganda by Operation Entebbe: Israeli commandos assault the building holding the hijackers and hostages killing all Palestinian hijackers and rescuing 105 persons, mostly Israeli hostages; three passengers and one commando are killed.
    1977: A Palestinian hijack of a Lufthansa airliner Landshut during its flight from Palma de Mallorca to Frankfurt is ended in Mogadishu when German commandos storm the plane. Three hijackers are killed and 86 hostages are freed. The hand of German Red Army Faction is suspected. The pilot is killed.
    1977 December 4: A Boeing 737 Malaysia Airlines Flight 653 was hijacked and crashed in Tanjung Kupang, Johore killing 100 people aboard.
    1978: Two Arab guerrillas seized a plane in Cyprus. Egyptian commandos flew in uninvited to try to take the plane. Cypriot troops resisted and 15 Egyptians died in a 45-minute battle.
    1979: Two East Germans hijacked an aircraft to West Berlin; see Judgment in Berlin.
    1979 June 20 and June 21: An American Airlines flight from New York to Chicago was hijacked by Nikola Kavaja, a Serbian nationalist, demanding the release of a jailed fellow nationalist. Unable to secure his comrade's release, the hijacker released all hostages except for the pilot, co-pilot and one flight attendant. They flew from Chicago back to New York where he transferred to a Boeing 707, which flew to Ireland where the hijacker surrendered and was returned to the United States for trial. Weapon used was a home-made bomb. There were no casualties.
    1981: A Pakistan International Airlines jet is hijacked and taken to Kabul, where one passenger is killed before the plane flies on to Damascus; the hostages are finally released after 13 days when the Pakistani Government agrees to free fifty political prisoners.
    1981: The Hijacking of Flight Garuda Indonesia GA 206 on 28 March 1981. This was the first serious Indonesian airline hijacking, since the first case was a desperate Marine hijacker who was killed by the pilot himself. The hijackers, a group called Commando Jihad, hijacked the DC 9 "Woyla", onroute from Palembang to Medan, and ordered the pilot to fly the plane to Colombo, Sri Lanka. But since the plane didn't have enough fuel, it refueled in Penang, Malaysia and then to Don Muang, Thailand. The hijackers demanded the release of Commando Jihad members imprisoned in Indonesia, and US $ 1.5 million, as well as a plane to take those prisoners to an unspecified destination. The Kopassus commandos who took part in this mission trained for only three days with totally unfamiliar weapons, brilliantly executed this fast-paced operation. One of the Kopassus commandos was shot by the hijacker leader, who then shot himself. All the other hijackers were killed. All the hostages were saved.

American Airlines Flight 77 was used in a similar fashion at the Pentagon, in Washington, D.C., which caused the destruction of the portion of that building hit. They are the three most deadly of all aircraft hijackings.

By official count, 2,752 people died at the World Trade Center, 189 died in Washington, D.C., and 44 died crashing into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
    Oh, look, it's a virtual smorgasbord of various people: some Jews, many Christians, some Arabs, some Muslims, Sikhs, Chinese, and Russians.

    No, your peaceful Christians are too busy harassing and killing gays and women seeking abortions to bother with blowing up buses:


    A MILITANT evangelical Christian group plans to target pregnant women and medical staff at abortion clinics as it steps up its campaign against what it calls a tidal wave of filth, The Times has learnt.

    Abortion clinics said last night that they feared a rise in US-style anti-abortion tactics and are being especially vigilant.

    In America clinics have been firebombed and since 1991 three doctors and four members of clinic staff have been murdered.

    Photographs of women visiting abortion clinics have been posted on American websites, which label them as homicidal mothers who must be held up for the world to see.

    Radical Christians to target abortion clinics - Britain - Times Online

    Don't forget that the ability to launch a satellite or use your computer likely would not be possible were it not for the scientific and mathematics achievements attributed to Muslims and Arabs (such as algebra and trigonometry)

    ...
    I wonder what the reasons were for all these hijackings - how many Christians hijacked for religious reasons, and how many Muslims for their religion?

    Gays and abortions? Are you allowed to be gay or have an abortion in Muslim-land?
