That's exactly what today's cowardly Allaho-fascists count on. They
laughing at the NATO troops who are scared of their own might
restricted by the idiotic ROE. The wild Muslim savages quickly
adapted to the stupidity of mushy Western P.C. politicians who
invented ROEs trying to appease Islam by by nook or by crook..
Jihadists throwing down their weapons when they are out of
ammunition and taunting coalition troops with impunity or walking in
plain view with women behind them carrying their weapons like caddies.
During WWII such circus would have been wiped out by the hell fire in

Marjah, Afghanistan's Helmand province. Was a key test for the
NATO troops who were constrained by new rules of engagement that
emphasized protecting civilians rather than killing jihadis. Stupid.

government was hostile to American ships, even though there had been
no provocation? Haji told him : “it was written in their Koran, that
all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom
it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave,” .
So , they were radicalized starting from 7th century . And the war

Oh, please stop this phony piety ! It's war. 23% of Germans killed
during WWII were civilians. No one was shedding crocodile tears about
their lives at the time. The war is hell and all the ROEs along with
the notion that war deaths have to be fair is idiotic in the first
place.
Besides , The Nazis, the brutal, savage regime had the decency to
put their soldiers in uniforms so that their civilian population would
not be mistaken for combatants. Muslims have no such decency. In fact
they go out of their way to make sure their soldiers wear civilian
clothes to ensure that any counter-attack include as many civilians as
possible.
You liberal idiots apply super high standards to all Western troops
but hate even to talk about Muslims deliberately murdering their own
by making human shields of their civilians against western bullets or
savagely murdering their own women and children in their endless
tribal barbaric wars. You are repulsive hypocrites. Nothing good can
come from deception and hypocricy.

Your changed topic "Crimes against Humanity started after WWII and

started by Nazis ,but by Muslims. Countless countries and people lost
their lives , their countries, their freedom and their cultures .
Countless others were forcibly converted into beastly Muslims as
Islam began its bloodied march across Arabia and then into Persia,
Byzantium, North Africa, Central Asia, India, Indonesia, Europe and
finally triggered full fledged jihad against the young US in 17
century.
Likewise, the first Holocaust was not happened in 1940s but in 1915
against Armenians. Nazis were very good and talented apprentices of
Muslims.

It goes WELL beyond the above. The islamonazi pigs in Lebanon
fired their upgraded Katayushas from civilian neighborhoods
and stored their ammo there.
In the Gaza Shite, the muslimes used mosques, hospitals and
schools as firebases, OP's and ammo dumps. They also employed
ambulances to transport ammo, weapons and combatants.
In Algeria, under the French occupation, the muslimes smuggled
arms and explosives under the burkas of women -- because they
knew they wouldn't be searched.
Doug
news:b562eeea-0b39-470c...@d37g2000yqn.googlegroups.com...
Very true!
*******************************
Let's remember MuhamMAD himself ordered and led the slaughter/enslavement
of the Jews of Medina/Ytharib and Khybar, a fact muslimes still rant
and rave about now, in the 21st century.
Deborah Shavari had an excellent timeline of islamic history that
illustrates
it has NEVER been peaceful:
TIMELINE OF ISLAM - THE FIRST MILLENNIUM
by Deborah Sharavi
Draft
622
16th July - Traditional date of the Hijrah and beginning of Muslim
calendar
622-630
Muhammad's wars against Mecca and Medina - at the time, considerable
centres of commerce and culture, with marked Christian Greek and Jewish
influence
622
Pact of Medina between Muhammad and indigenous Ansar and Jewish tribes
of Medina
Muhammad's forces attack Meccan caravans
624
March - Battle of Badr, Muhammad's forces defeat Meccans and Banu
Quraysh, expel Banu Qaynuqa
625
Battle of Uhud, Meccans defeat Muhammad; in retaliation, Muhammad
expels the Banu Nadhir from Medina
627
Battle of Khandaq; Muhammad has 900 Jewish prisoners of the Banu
Qurayza beheaded and enslaves the women and children
628
Muhammad's sham treaty with the Banu Quraysh
629
May - Battle of Khaybar; to raise his prestige after the hudna of
Hudaybiyya, Muhammad attacks the Khaybar Jews, massacres a peace
delegation led by Usayr ibn Zorim of the Banu Nahdir. Muhammad
massacres the Khaybar prisoners; orders the torture and murder of
Kinana ibn al-Rabi; marries Saffiya, the 17-year-old daughter of
Huyayy, the Banu Nahdir chief, and widow of Kinana ibn al-Rabi; takes
as a jarya (slave concubine) Kaihana, survivor of the massacre of the
Qurayza Jews. Muhammad allows the Khaybar survivors to remain on their
lands, so long as they pay him 50% of their produce. The battle greatly
raises Muhammad's prestige; the beduin swear allegiance and convert
to Islam, the Jewish tribes of Fadattr, Tedma, and Magne capitulate and
are permitted to keep their religion and their lands in exchange for
50% of their produce
630
Augmented by weapons won from the Khaybar Jews, Muhammad's forces
conquer Mecca; Muhammad dedicates the sacred pagan Black Rock, a
meteorite fragment housed in the eastern wall of Ka'aba, to Islam;
Meccans vow allegiance to Muhammad and convert to Islam
632
Death of Muhammad, supposedly poisoned by Saffiya bint Huyayy in

Allah, a woman whom Muhammad had appointed, comptroller of the markets
of Medina; eradicates the Christian and Jewish communities of Arabia]

Iranian and Indian civilizations. He received Alopen, an Iranian
Christian (Nestorian) in 638, granting him the freedom of the empire
and leave to build an imperial church in the capital.
639
Muslim subjugation of Mesopotamia begins
Muslims invade Armenia
Muslim forces under Amr ibn al-'As invade Egypt
'Umar expels all Jews and Christians from Arabia
640
Subjugation of Caesarea; code of Umar imposed on Palestinian Jews and
Christians [Jews and Christians enjoined to pray quietly; prohibition

Abdallah ibn Zubayr assassinated
[Construction begins on the Qubbat As-Sakhrah shrine in Jerusalem, on
the site of the Jewish Temple destroyed by Rome, by Byzantine craftsmen
sent from Constantinople by the emperor at Abd al-Malik's request. Abd
al-Malik propagandizes Jerusalem as the Quranic Farthest Mosque
(al-Masjid al-Aqsa), site of Muhammad's ascent into Paradise with the
angel Gabriel and his magical mare al-Buraq, who had the face of a
woman, the body of a lion, and the tail of a peacock, and who conveyed
him in three leaps from Mecca to al-Masjid al-Aqsa, and back again in
one night. Hence, Jerusalem as the third holiest site in Islam after
Mecca and Medina, and the only place outside Mecca and Medina where
Muslims can make pilgrimage.
"Abd al-Malik, seeing the greatness of the martyrium [the Holy
Sepulchre]
and its magnificence, was moved lest it should dazzle the minds of the
Muslims and hence erected above the rock the Dome which is now seen
there."
Al-Muqaddasi
'The very first monument of the new faith, the Dome of the Rock in
Jerusalem, was a patently competitive enterprise. It rose on the
grounds
of the Jewish temple, over the rock of Mount Moriah that had been
variously identified in the past as the place of Adam's creation and
death, and of Isaac's sacrifice. In substance, the building was a close
copy of the rotunda of the Holy Sepulchre.'
Spiro Kostof, A History of Architecture: Settings and
Rituals, p 286]
"These damned Syrians pretend that Allah put his foot
on the Rock in Jerusalem, though only one man ever
put his foot on the Rock, namely Ibrahim."

[N.B.: The rapidity of the Islamic conquest of the Hispanic peninsula
was due partly to the strife between the Visigothic overlords, and
partly to the preference of the natives for the Muslims. For the
natives -- a conglomerate of Germanic Suevi, Vandals, Russian Alani,
Byzantines, Romans, Jews, Phoenicians, Celtiberians, and Basques -- the
invading conglomerate of Muslim Berbers, Iranians, Yemenites, and Arabs
had more in common than their recent Visigothic rulers with the faded
civilization of the western Roman empire's richest province --
especially for the centuries-old Jewish communities, whom the Visigoths
persecuted., e.g., in 681, the Council of Toledo ordered the burning of
the Talmud, and in 682, the new Visigothic king, Earwig, opened his
reign by passing 28 laws against Jews and pressing for the "utter
extirpation of the pest of the Jews"]

which dropped
bronze balls on a bowl beneath to mark the hours and twelve knights who

behind them, and an elephant named Abu l'Abbas after the founder of the
Abbasid dynasty. Abu l'Abbas was a great hit and accompanied the

803
Bani Qasi revolt in Tudela against Hakam I of Cordoba Nicephoros I, who
deposed Irene (802), refuses to pay tribute
[N.B.: By emissaries to to Haroun al-Rashid, his most dangerous enemy
after Charlemagne: "The queen considered you a rook and herself a pawn.
That pusillanimous female submitted to pay a tribute the double of
which she should have exacted from you barbarians. Restore, therefore,
the fruits of your injustice." Haroun smiled, drew his famous scimitar,
and 'cut asunder the feeble arms of the Greeks.' His response: "In the
name of the most merciful God, Haroun al-Rashid, Commander of the
Faithful, to Nicephoros the Roman dog: I have read your letter, O son
of an unbelieving mother. You shall not hear -- you shall behold my

of Hunayn ibn Ishaq, a Christian scholar. Greek, Syriac, Persian, and

of the Umayyad caliphs, son of their son Muhammad (b 876) by a Frankish

wife's homesickness by reminding her of the mountain snows of her
homeland]

ar-Rahman III (b 7 Jan 891), first caliph of Islamic Spain, greatest
and most gifted of the Spanish Umayyads; Hasdai ben Isaac ibn Shaprut,
the emir's physician and chief minister
[N.B.: Under Rahman III and his son, Cordoba reached its zenith as the
greatest capital of Islam, as well as of the Christian West; for a
time, it was the most populous city in the world, as well as the most
literate, and the first urban European economu since the Roman Empire.
The contributions of Abd ar-Rahman and his son to Europe can hardly be
over-estimated -- this in the face of continuing wars against
Christians as well as against fellow Muslims
Under Hakam II, the caliphate of Cordoba reached an apogee as a world
centre of science, culture, and the arts. A semi-invalid, one of his
major accomplishments was the amassing and annotating of 4,000 books of
his personal library; the great library of Cordoba he founded contained
almost half a million volumes. Widespread toleration of Christians and
Jews, industrial progress, agricultural advances, development of huge
paper mills. The aristocracy was almost extinguished, and replaced by a
large, well-to-do middle class. Pacification of country, centralization
of government, naval activity. Cordoba the capital, whose population
was appx 500,000, was the greatest intellectual centre in the Islamic
world, certainly of Europe, and,
at the time, the largest city in the world; its schools of medicine,
mathematics, science, and philosophy were pre-eminent, as well as
poetry and music. Height of Islamic learning was achieved by Isn Rushd
(Averroes),
phiopsopher, physician, commentator on Plato and Aristotle, and master
of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish scholars who traveled from Europe and
the Middle East to study]

- The German Crusade: pogroms begin in the Rhine Valley, massacring
thousands of Jews
"Just at that time, there appeared a certain soldier, Emico, Count of
the
lands around the Rhine, a man long of very ill repute on account of his
tyrannical mode of life. Called by divine revelation, like another
Saul, as
he maintained, to the practice of religion of this kind, he usurped to
himself the command of almost twelve thousand cross bearers. As they
were
led through the cities of the Rhine and the Main and also the Danube,
they
either utterly destroyed the execrable race of the Jews wherever they
found
them (being even in this matter zealously devoted to the Christian
religion)" Ekkehard of Aura
"Emico and the rest of his band held a council and, after sunrise,
attacked
the Jews in the hall with arrows and lances. Breaking the bolts and
doors,
they killed the Jews, about seven hundred in number, who in vain
resisted
the force and attack of so many thousands. They killed the women, also,
and
with their swords pierced tender children of whatever age and sex. The
Jews,
seeing that their Christian enemies were attacking them and their
children,
and that they were sparing no age, likewise fell upon one another,
brother,
children, wives, and sisters, and thus they perished at each other's
hands.
Horrible to say, mothers cut the throats of nursing children with
knives
and stabbed others, preferring them to perish thus by their own hands
rather than to be killed by the weapons of the uncircumcised. From
this cruel slaughter of the Jews a few escaped" Albert of Aix

"..from the archbishop of Pisa, duke Godfrey, now, by the grace of God,
defender of the church of the Holy Sepuchre, Raymond, count of St.
Gilles,
and the whole army of God, which is in the land of Israel,
greeting...And
if you desire to know what was done with the enemy who were found
there,
know that in Solomon's Porch and in his temple our men rode in the
blood
of the Saracens up to the knees of their horses."
"Saracens, Arabs, and Ethiopians took refuge in the tower of David,
others
fled to the temples of the Lord and of Solomon. A great fight took
place in
the court and porch of the temples, where they were unable to escape
from
our gladiators. Many fled to the roof of the temple of Solomon, and
were
shot with arrows, so that they fell to the ground dead. In this temple
almost ten thousand were killed. Indeed, if you had been there you
would
have seen our feet colored to our ankles with the blood of the slain.
But
what more shall I relate? None of them were left alive; neither women
nor
children were spared." Fulk of Chartres

"I left Tangier, my birthplace, on Thursday, 2nd Rajab 725 [14th June
1325], being at that time [twenty-one] years of age, with the intention
of making the Pilgrimage to [ Mecca] and [Medina]. I set out alone,
finding no companion to cheer the way with friendly intercourse, and no
party of travellers with whom to associate myself. Swayed by an
overmastering impulse within me, and a long-cherished desire to visit
those glorious sanctuaries, I resolved to quit all my friends and tear
myself away from my home. As my parents were still alive, it weighed
grievously upon me to part from them, and both they and I were
afflicted with sorrow."
Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Battuta of Morocco

July: "No one is allowed to pass into Syria without a passport from
Egypt, nor into Egypt without a passport from Syria, for the protection
of the property of the subjects and as a measure of precaution against
spies from Iraq. The responsibility of guarding this road has been
entrusted to the Badawin. At nightfall they smooth down the sand so
that no track is left on it, then in the morning the governor comes and
looks at the sand. If he finds any track on it he commands the Arabs to
bring the person who made it, and they set out in pursuit and never
fail to catch him. He is then brought to the governor, who punishes him
as he sees fit. The governor at the time of my passage treated me as a
guest and showed me great kindness, and allowed all those who were with
me to pass. From here we went on to Gaza, which is the first city of
Syria on the side next the Egyptian frontier."
"From Gaza I travelled to the city of Abraham [Hebron], the mosque of
which is of elegant, but substantial construction, imposing and lofty,
and built of squared stones At one angle of it there is a stone, one of
whose faces measures twenty-seven spans. It is said that Solomon
commanded the jinn to build it. Inside it is the sacred cave containing
the graves of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, opposite which are three
graves, which are those of their wives. I questioned the imam, a man of
great piety and learning, on the authenticity of these graves, and he
replied: "All the scholars whom I have met hold these graves to be the
very graves of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and their wives. No one questions
this except introducers of false doctrines; i
is a tradition which has passed from father to son for generations and
admits of no doubt." Ibn Battuta

"Kinsfolk held aloof, brother was forsaken by brother, oftentimes
husband by wife; nay, what is more, and scarcely to be believed,
fathers and mothers were found to abandon their own children to their
fate, untended, unvisited, as if they had been strangers." Boccaccio
"And so they died. And no one could be found to bury the dead...I,
Anolo di Tura, buried my five children with my own hands, and so did
many likewise." Agnolo di Tura

Ibn Battuta: "...July 1348. The viceroy Arghun Shah ordered a crier to
proclaim through Damascus that all the people should fast for three
days and that no one should cook anything eatable in the market during
the daytime. For most of the people there eat no food but what has been
prepared in the market. So the people fasted for three successive days,
the last of which was a Thursday, then they assembled in the Great
Mosque, amirs, sharifs, qadis, theologians, and all the other classes
of the people, until the place was filled to overflowing, and there
they spent the Thursday night in prayers and litanies. After the dawn
prayer next morning they all went out together on foot, holding Korans
in their hands, and the amirs barefooted. The procession was joined by
the entire population of the town, men and women, small and large; the
Jews came with their Book of the Law and the Christians with their
Gospel, all of them with their women and children. The whole concourse,
weeping and supplicating and seeking the favour of God through His
Books and His Prophets, made their way to the Mosque of the Footprints,
and there they remained in supplication and invocation until near
midday. They then returned to the city and held the Friday service, and
Allah lightened their affliction; for the number of deaths in a single
day at Damascus did not attain two thousand, while in Cairo and Old
Cairo it reached the figure of twenty-four thousand a day."

Mars in Aquarius on 20th March 1345, plus "effects whose cause is
hidden from even the most highly trained intellects."

No. The real idea was to finish Nazism by any means it took. The
objective was achieved. Civilians? Again, when did this notion come
about that war deaths have to be fair? Should more Allies troops
have died during WWII so that Liberal idiots would feel that things
were fair in the universe?

Where and when this notion come about that saving lives of enemies
civilians should be a priority of any war instead of a quick and

# The attack on America was an act of war. It should have been declared a
war on the country of origin of the perpetrators...Saudi Arabia. No if or
buts. The Saudi Royal Family should have been targeted right away. No if
or buts. They were responsible for the country and its people. That's
who you declare war on. They should have been treated like Hitler was, the
responsible minister in charge.
The Americans should have bombed shit out of Riyadh, sent in the troops to
wipe out their military, AND TAKEN OVER THE OIL FIELDS...actually, in
reverse order.
Then they should have added up the cost of all the damage and made the Saudi
country pay for it in oil deliveries for years ahead. Then and only then
should they have gone after the piddling jihadist in their own country and
the public slaughtered them as treasonous vermin instead of calling them the
'religion of peace'. That would have been the appropriate message to Islam
throughout the world.

No. There is a big problem. The major role of Islam has been
whitewashed from history. Muslims were the closest partners of Nazis
during WWII but the West excused Islam from its horrible hand in the
holocaust and crimes against other infidels which still are being
carried out with almost total impunity worldwide. Had we put Muslim
Nazis on trial along with their German buddies and banned Islam like
Nazism , 9/11 would never happened. Now we in the West pay the price
for letting Islam walking away without a scratch.

It's better being a radical than dead. And yeas, Muslims indeed have a
great respect only to a big stick. Our European ancestors knew that
very well when they crushed Islam first at at Poitiers in 732 and then
at gates of Vienna in 1683 and thus saved Europe from Islam
helping it remain a civilized continent. Damn shame that today
liberal scum like yourself send thousands of Westerners to die for
Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kosovo instead of ruthlessly
crushing these Islamo cockroaches in the best traditions of our
ancestors.

It's enough to declare war on Islam in the West and finally start

Islam is on the march of taking revange for its defeat in Europe.
After a couple of decades, if not stopped, the European continent

You still don't get it , do you, leftist boob?
Both the Muslim faith and the Nazism bear striking
similarities.
1) The Quran is fiercely anti-Semitic and homophobic, demanding and
justifying violence repeatedly. And so does Nazism.
2) The Quran demands from Muslims to subdue all other people, by any
means, including by violence and by the use of lies. The Nazi ideology
advocates the same subjugation of all people by Aryans .
3) Islam is very fundamentalist in nature and teaches that all non-
Muslims
are little better than pigs, destined from birth to be fuel for the
fires of
hell. And so does Nazism marking all "untermensch" for destruction.
Beside of all that, the war criminal, unrepentant Nazi mufti Haj Amin
al-Husseini organized thousands of bloody Jewish pogroms in
Jerusalem
to please his masters in Berlin. Muslim Nazis today still murdering
Jews with impunity but liberal trash like yourself still would not
give a shit about that , exactly like in 1933.

No need to attack. Just exposing, and telling truth about Muslim

Around one in 10 Indonesian Muslims support jihad and justify bomb
attacks on Indonesia’s tourist island of Bali as defending the faith,
according to
a survey released by the Indonesian Survey Institute . Now do the
math :
220 million Indonesians.
85 percent of them Muslims. 1 in 10 of those Muslims support suicide
bombings to “defend their faith.” So, that’s 19 million Muslims for
violent jihad in “moderate” Indonesia alone.
Add to this number jihadist savages from all other Islamic shit
holes who have not covered by any surveys and you got millions upon
millions Islamic cutthroats ready to blow up the entire Western world
if opportunity shines for the sake of getting unlimited sex with
virgins in heaven.

An almost every large city in Europe has no-go Muslim zones ruled by
barbaric sharia . It is too dangerous for non-Muslims to enter there.
The situation is so bad that in some European cities, ambulances
require police car escorts because of the violence directed at hated
non-Muslim infidels. European liberals are determined to utterly
destroy the lives of indigenous Europeans, facilitating the goal of
Islamic conquest of Europe. When Muslims occupied and ruled Eastern
Europe, as a tax, one out five European children were taken as slaves
to Turkey to lives of living hell. Islam returned to Europe with
revenge.
From the book of a great Italian and a brave ,courageous woman , war
correspondent Oriana Felaci La Forza della Ragione (''The Force of
Reason'')
"Europe becomes more and more a province of Islam, a colony of Islam.
And Italy is an outpost of that province, a stronghold of that
colony," the book says. "In each of our cities lies a second city: a
Muslim city, a city run by the Quran. A stage in the Islamic
expansionism."
"The current invasion is not carried out only by the "terrorists who
blow up themselves along with skyscrapers or buses" but also by "the
immigrants who settle in our home, and who, with no respect for our
laws, impose their ideas, their customs, their God."

Australia Mining Pioneer & Founder of the True Geology
christian) sects' pretension on a "creation" of all planets of our
system in one and single step indicates the crass ignorance of the
real process of planets & their satellite genesis.
Each planet is indeed born in sequence from its mother star, which
incidentally is a dark body not generating either light nor heat,
such being observed only at the "material" level of planets ... Hence
here again the crass ignorance proper of Islam & its alleged prophet
MahoMad (the well named) to wit a Drug addict & sexual deviant
Samaritan Jew indeed. etc..
The True Geology demonstrate that none of the alleged views on
creation spouted forth by the JIC sects have any founding, except as
a crude & inexact understanding of the reality of our past, present &
future. The JIC sects are impervious further to the incoherence of
their positions, since any infected victims lose the ability to think
freely & sincerely through parental transmission of the defect.
Islam as well as the other 2 JIC sects is very far from any Divine
knowledge & Divine inspiration indeed ... in all of the JIC sects '
main tenets one finds the mark of induced hallucinoge drug trips to
dream-lands, with the consecutive alleged "prophets"' "Inspired"
interpretation + added what has been plunder for older & much
profound Ancient Wisdom... without of course giving credit to such..
Note
While further the reality of that Islamist prophet being a figure-
head invention used for the new sect founding, conceived by
Samaritan* Jew rabbis, and so are the famous Jesus Christ & the
famous Moshe as well. Manipulation with a very specific purpose. The
specific purpose of Islam was to debase & induce degeneracy into the
Arab people mainly;, in introducing half hazard endocrine mutilations
aka genetic modifying circumcisions + a lot of edicts so foolish that
only fools would follow them ... and this has been the case that since
converted by terror to Islam, the whole Arab world has regressed to
the most primitive type of society ... the goods and services being
provided by others in return for oil mainly, since unable to invent &
realize concretely anything involving lasting & sustained
effort. ... Wars, Pillage & Destructions are the hallmark of Islam
through time and only the actiivty in which they excel. Importing
that Mental sickness to the Western World spells at time the
devolution of the latest towards the most sterile & poor indeed
societies, typical of those invaded by that Pathological Economic /
Mental / Intellectual / Aesthetic & Spiritual Disease.
*Added Note
Jew Samaria (Samaritans) aka the Kingdom of Israel hated the Jews of
the Kingdom of Judah centered around Jerusalem. Islam is their
invention conceived 600 years approx after the destruction by Roman
army of both kingdoms & their towns in 70 (Jerusalem included) with
the forced exiles of Jews out of Palestine. Islam is the hateful
revenge of the Jews of Kingdom of Israel upon the Jews of the Kingdom
of Judah, in which the poor ignorant Arab nations ( + other
contaminated) are used as pawns in a view to destroy what they ( the
Samaritans) consedered as a pillage of their very name Israel. The
irony of that situation is that the thieves of that name, the present
Jews in Jerusalem are besieged by the right & legal proprietors of
that denomination. In fact Islami is the real Israel while the present
claimants are the Usurpers ... None of course being able to understand
how things came to be that way, and blinding themselves to a proper
return in History, most likely indeed to demonstrate the complete
fraudulent claims of not only the Judean Jews (Jews), of the Samaritan
Jews (Islamists) but as well as of that other fraudulent sect :
Christianity.
There is a confusion in people 's mind to identify Arab where in fact
are Islamists ... the harsh, hating, violent trait in the males are
specific of the Islamist alien & look all alike, hence allowing easy
indentification. This is because the endocrine mutilation narrows in
all case the palette of the normal infinite Human features and lead to
the well known stereotypes specific of population in which genetic
mutation has been induced : Jews, Islamists & Negroes mainly. The
endocrine system is the immediate & easy interface to the genetic
code, and this is what has been performed in full view since 4000
years, since nothing is better hidden than placed in full view
indeed!
ISLAM IS THE CURSE OF THE ARAB WORLD ...and as THE Green Plague of
the rest of the World indeed, since it mainly dull the mind of its
Slaves aka Islamists ( and this has been observed by many over
centuries by anyone daring to open his eyes BUT understand its profund
bilogical reasons founded on tempering with the Human Genome, as do
the Jews, the Negroes & the Hindus)

You are living proof that with your pure unadulterated and incandescent
hatred of muslims you would take any opportunity to persecute and drive them
out of this country.
Your moaning is meaningless. You take no action, but merely sit around
complaining about things.
If you had any guts at all, you'd tone down your language, and actually *do*
something about what you believe rather than just mouth off on usenet all
