FW: Qantas pilot-everybody should read this

[Gov CCA]

-------Original Message--- Subject: FW: Qantas pilot-everybody should read this           DEFINITELY READ THIS ONE.      Friends,  I think this applies to almost EVERY country now! ! !  The paper stated today that some Muslim doctor is saying we are  profiling  him because he has been checked three times while getting on  an airplane.  The following is a letter from a pilot. This well spoken man, who is a  pilot with QANTAS Airlines, says what is in his heart,  beautifully. . . ..  Read, absorb and pass this on.    'YOU WORRY ME! ' By Qantas Airlines Pilot - Captain John Maniscalco    I've been trying to say this since 911 in New York , but you worry me.  I  wish you didn't.  I wish when I walked down the streets of this country  that I love, that your colour and culture still blended with the beautiful human  landscape we enjoy in this country. But you don't blend in anymore. I notice you, and it worries me. I notice you because I can't help it anymore.    People from your homelands, professing to be Muslims, have been attacking  and killing my fellow citizens and our friends for more than 20 years now.  I don't fully understand their grievances and hate, but I know that  nothing  can justify the inhumanity of their attacks.    On September 11, ARAB-MUSLIMS hijacked four jetliners in the U. S.  They  cut  the throats of women in front of children and brutally stabbed to death  others. They took control of those planes and crashed them into buildings  killing thousands of proud fathers, loving sons, wise grandparents,  elegant daughters, best friends, favourite coaches, fearless public servants, and  children's mothers.    The Palestinians celebrated, the Iraqis were overjoyed as was most of the  Muslim world. So, I notice you now. I don't want to be worried. I don't  want to be consumed by the same rage and hate and prejudice that has destroyed  the souls of these terrorists. But I need your help. As a rational  Australian, trying to protect my country and family in an irrational and  unsafe world, I must know how to tell the difference between you, and the  Arab/Muslim terrorist.    How do I differentiate between the true Arab/Muslim Australians and the  Arab/Muslim terrorists in our communities who are attending our schools,  enjoying our parks, and living in OUR communities under the protection of  OUR democratic government, while they plot the next attack that will  slaughter these same good neighbours and children?    The events of September 11 in the U. S. changed the answer. It is not my  responsibility to determine which of you embraces our great country, with  ALL of its religions, with ALL of its different citizens, with all of its  faults. It is time for every Muslim in this country to determine it for  me.    I want to know, I demand to know, and I have a right to know, whether or  not you love Australia . Do you pledge allegiance to our flag? Do you proudly  display it in front of your house, or on your car? Do you pray in your  many daily prayers that Allah will bless this nation, that He will protect and  prosper it? Or do you pray that Allah with destroy it in one of your  Jihad's? Are you thankful for the freedom that only this nation affords? A  freedom that was paid for by the blood of hundreds of thousands of diggers  who gave their lives for this country? Are you willing to preserve this  freedom by also paying the ultimate sacrifice? Do you love Australia ? If  this is your commitment, then I need YOU to start letting ME know about  it.    Your Muslim leaders in this nation should be flooding the media at this  time with hard facts on your faith, and what hard actions you are taking as a  community and as a religion to protect Australia .  Please, no more benign  overtures of regret for the death of the innocent because I worry about  who you regard as innocent. No more benign overtures of condemnation for the unprovoked attacks because I worry about what is unprovoked to you. I am  not interested in any more sympathy. I am ONLY interested in action. What will  you do for Australia- our great country - at this time of crisis, at this  time of war?    I want to see Muslims waving the AUSTRALIAN flag in the streets. I want to  hear you chanting 'Allah Bless Australia ' I want to see young Muslim men  enlisting in the military. I want to see a commitment of money, time, and  emotion to the victims of this butchering and to this nation as a whole.    The AFP has a list of over 100 people they want to talk to regarding  potential terrorism. Many of these people live and socialise right now in  Muslim communities. You know them. You know where they are. Hand them over  to the police, now! But I have seen little even approaching this sort of  action. Instead I have seen an already closed and secretive community  close even tighter. You have disappeared from the streets. You have posted armed  security guards at your facilities. You have threatened lawsuits. You have  screamed for protection from reprisals.    The very few Muslim representatives that HAVE appeared in the media were  defensive and equivocating. They seemed more concerned with making sure  that the Australia proves who was responsible before taking action. They seemed  more concerned with protecting their fellow Muslims from violence directed  towards them in Australia and abroad than they did with supporting our  country and denouncing 'leaders' like  Khadafi, Hussein, Farrakhan, and  Arafat.    If the true teachings of Islam proclaim tolerance and peace and love for  all people, then I want chapter and verse from the Koran and statements from  popular Muslim leaders to back it up. What good is it if the teachings in  the Koran are good, and pure, and true, when your  'leaders' are teaching  fanatical interpretations, terrorism, and intolerance? It matters little  how good Islam SHOULD BE if huge numbers of the world's Muslims interpret the teachings of Mohammed incorrectly and adhere to a degenerative form of the  religion. A form that has been demonstrated to us over and over again. A  form whose structure is built upon a foundation of violence, death, and  suicide.  A form whose members are recruited from the prisons around the  world.. A form whose members (some as young as five years old) are seen day  after day, week in and week out, year after year, marching in the streets  around the world, burning effigies of our leaders, burning the  Australian/American /British flags, shooting weapons into the air. A form  whose members convert from a peaceful religion, only to take up arms  against Australia , the USA , United Kingdom, - countries of their birth. A form  whose rules are so twisted, that their travelling members refuse to show their  faces at airport security checkpoints, in the name of Islam.    We will NEVER allow the attacks of Bali , September 11, or any others  for  that matter, to take away that which is so precious to us: Our  democratic  rights, freedoms, and fun loving way of life. I want to  know where every  Muslim in this country stands and I think it is my  right and the right of  every true citizen of this country to demand  it. A right paid for by the  blood of thousands of my brothers and  sisters who died protecting the  very system of government that is protecting you and your family.    I am pleading with you to let me know. I want you here as my brother, my  neighbour, my friend, as a fellow Australian. But there can be no grey  areas or ambivalence regarding your allegiance, and it is up to YOU, to show ME, where YOU stand. Until then. 'YOU WORRY ME! '    I totally agree with this sentiment. I hope you will forget all about the  'political correctness' mandate we've had rammed down our throats, and see  if this doesn't ring true in your heart and mind. For Australia , with all  the multiculturism we've been told is so important. . .. . why should we  not, as Australians, expect that the thousands of new people  immigrating  to our country will show their love for our country, their allegiance to our  country, their willingness to obey the laws of our country, and acceptance  that we are a Christian country? Just because they are able to enjoy  exercising their own religion, they should not expect us to be ashamed of  ours. They knew Australia was a Christian country when they came here. Why  are we erasing Christianity because immigrants who are unwilling to adopt  our way of life expect us to?  There is just too much insanity in the  world, and we have to start taking a stand.    I hope you will forward, so others will feel they are not alone if  they  are starting to feel the same.    LET'S SATURATE THE FREE WORLD WITH THIS ONE!             Meet local singles online. Browse profiles for FREE!  Find it at CarPoint.com.au New, Used, Demo, Dealer or Private?
