Hi Don, I saw you refer the alleged shoving of a child into gunfire in
a prior post. I assume this refers to the photo of a few years showing
the father and child under fire, then the child killed.
Huh???? I feel like my house just touched down in the Land of Oz.
I know some
argued that the father had intentionally exposed his son, but I hadn't
realized there was proof of this assertion.
I don't think it is a secret that many *Palestinians* and other Muslims
believe it is a great honor to die as a martyr for Allah and for their cause
and encourage their children to do so. This is part of their belief system.
This belief system is promoted in their schools. Children openly express
that their greatest wish is to die a martyr for the sake of Allah and their
cause. Everyone seems to know and understand this except for you. This is
not even remotely related to an old photograph from some years back or
whatever you were referring to above.

In short, they're aberrations.
Cindy, I'm not going to bother asking you how you became Don's
official spokesperson (you *know* he wasn't referring to the
famous/notorious photo?), or why anyone with a modicum of intellectual
integrity should accept an "everyone knows" assertion as proof of
anything, or even if you know that your comments are an utter
non-sequitor--I had asked for "proof"; I *know* many here *believe* it
to have been the case ... rather I'm just too flabbergasted at your
audacity in snipping my comments to make it appear that I claimed that
Jihadism among Palestinians was an aberration rather than parents
killing or prostituting their children in the US and Europe.
In speaking of the west I was commenting on something I *know* to be
true and asking *if* this same situation didn't apply to the ME and
Palestinians.
I think you realized that.
No, unfortunately, this attitude is not *an aberration* at all but an
inherent part of the educational system of Muslim children in certain areas.
The real problem is people who continue to deny the reality of this because
it makes them feel uncomfortable. You need to understand the mentality of
your enemy in order to be able to defeat him.
Serious question: am I more uncomfortable believing that Muslims are
inherently hostile towards me, or are you more uncomfortable
considering that they might not be that unlike you?
My money's on the latter.....
