Not some nobody. It was financed by your heroes, the Egyptian coptic christian sect. You sure know how to pick 'em.
Now it's time to see if The Patriot Act was ever actually intended to defend us from terrorism or not. So, let's put the pieces together: 15 people from the Middle East worked with an Egyptian convicted felon and a Christian paramilitary militia leader on a coordinated project. They used false names and kept even those who worked with them in the dark about their goals. Although the main players were Christian and residents of the United States, they attempted to cast blame on Jews and Israel for their work. They lied about where their money came from and, in at least one case, stole. They knew as they worked on this project that the likely outcome would be violence, including violence against Americans, and including violence in the home countries of many of the key players. After completing their work, the main player immediately went into hiding, lied about his age, lied about his nationality, and asked for police protection. Meanwhile, his deputies covered his trail and assisted in his lies. What about this is not terrorism? The PATRIOT Act was sold to America as legislation that would give Homeland Security officials the broad authority they needed to capture and punish those who seek to influence American policy by creating chaos, violence, disorder, and destruction. It includes specific provisions to punish those who finance terrorism and those who incite others to commit terrorism. In fact, broader latitude to punish incitement to terrorism was one of the key--and one of the most controversial--facets of the legislation that we were told we needed, without which we were told terrorists could cause the deaths of Americans and walk free. Nakoula Bassely Nakoula, if he has done all that he is alleged to have done, is a terrorist who knowingly took premeditated action to incite violence against Americans and Christians. Further, he attempted to endanger the lives of Jews and Israelis as well by implicating them in a project that does not appear to have had the involvement of a single Israeli or Jew. Thirdly, he endangered the lives of his own cast and crew by editing his film and dubbing over its audio to make ordinary actors appear to be saying inflammatory and hateful things. This heartless felon and convicted fraudster was willing not only to put at risk his own life (albeit not without a plan to obscure his identity and blame others) but the lives of people who didn't even know what they were working on. Sounds like someone we all remember--someone who, like Nakoula, was safely in hiding in another country while his own countrymen died for his hateful and ignorant beliefs. Someone who, like Nakoula, did not hesitate to put others in harms way to protect himself. Someone who, like Nakoula, with premeditation and intent, caused the deaths of Americans. Someone who, thank God, is no longer a threat to the United States or to his own people, having been killed by US Navy Seals. Homeland Security authorities know where Nakoula is, as he has reportedly requested police protection. One can only hope that the police are also "protecting" this terrorist from fleeing the country before someone reads the USA-PATRIOT Act, notices that he meets every qualification for incitement to terrorism in it, and places him under arrest. http://www.coloradopols.com/diary/1...optic-christian-crook-nakoula-bassely-nakoula
Wow. I knew you often post unseriously and outrageously on this board simply to elicit a reaction, but I never thought you needed help with your reading comprehension. I have stated several times that what keeps me from being a Libertarian completely is the Party's foreign policy and drugs. Okay, then. Carry on with your idiocy.
MARIS, if I would have been alive during the Holocaust, I would have likely parished with the rest of my grandfather's family, buried in a mass grave outside of Minsk. At least they didn't have to endure a concentration camp; they were each just shot in the head.
Good point. Repped. However, that doesn't absolve their governments from blame. It was all the more reason that we needed a strong defense from our President and State Department espousing our values. Explain how our country is different and never apologize for it. And the governments of Egypt and Libya should have been on notice that if any of our embassies or consulates were touched, our response would be swift and severe. Instead, we give an apology for offending them. Fuck that. Frankly, I'M offended by my embassies and consulates are being invaded and my fellow citizens are being slaughtered because some people are throwing a hissy fit.
Well, looks like that chart is outdated, as there are protests in Tunisia and Morocco, etc. So, maybe 0.02% instead?
In other words, this video was just the latest excuse to protest and be violent toward the West. I also get your point that it is a small minority, as well.
Great blog post: http://legalinsurrection.com/2012/09/obamas-great-islamist-delusion-has-come-home-to-roost/
I think I agree with everything you said here. Although I want to be slightly apologetic, but perhaps there isn't an appropriately complex way to do so. e:something along the lines of "I'm sorry some jerk said these things about your religious icon, but just like he, the jerk, has the freedom to say rude things you have the freedom to call him an infidel. That does not excuse you to act in anger, only speak in anger."
I only skimmed that for now, but I don't know if I care for the tone I picked up as "Obama shouldn't given so much trust to the Muslims."
Hopefully, no one would have found humor in your death, as you so obviously do in the death of others.
Since those are the major differences between the Libertarian and Republican Parties we can now lay to rest your denial that you are somehow not a Republican?
To be more transparent, this video was just the latest deliberate terrorist act by christians intended to provoke violence toward the West in order to force an escalation of war against muslims.
The author, Mark Steyn, is a Canadian Islamophobe who has offered the ethnic cleansing of European muslims (4% of Europe 's population) as the solution to what he sees as the imminent end of the world. Considering many of your ancestors died in the holocaust I wonder how they'd feel about your support for such a Hitleresque figure?
