Enuf Said: Support Canada or Leave

Here is an ordinary person's response to the lack of Canadian and US Muslim response to the hate, murder and terrorism so well known in the news. It places the responsibility for a coherent response against terrorism and hatred on the US/Canadian Muslim community and it, at least by implication, says - "If you don't respond supporting the US and Canadian wish for an end to the violence and hatred, then you, by necessary implication, support the violence and hatred."

These thoughts are not unreasonable. Equivocation and ambivalence are equivalent with, at the least, indifference, and at the most, with support for terrorism. Hiding in the woods, or with your heads in the sand, are no longer tolerated responses.

This pilot 'hit the nail' right on the head in his open letter.
 
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 American Airlines, says what is in his heart, beautifully.... Read, absorb and pass this on.

 

'YOU WORRY ME!'

By American Airlines Pilot - Captain John Maniscalco

I've been trying to say this since 911, 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 color 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 my country.  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, favorite coaches, fearless public servants, and children's mothers.
The Palestinians celebrated, the Iraqis were overjoyed as was most of the Arab 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 soul of these terrorists  But I need your help.  As a rational American, 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 Americans 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 constitution, while they plot the next attack that will slaughter these same good neighbors and children?

The events of September 11th 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 Arab/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 America.  Do you pledge allegiance to its 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 patriots who gave their lives for this country?  Are you willing to pr eserve this freedom by also paying the ultimate sacrifice?  Do you love America ?  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 the United States of America.  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 America - our great country - at this time of crisis, at this time of war?

I want to see Arab-Muslims waving the AMERICAN flag in the streets.  I want to hear you chanting 'Allah Bless America '  I want to see young Arab/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 FBI has a list of over 400 people they want to talk to regarding the WTC attack. Many of these people live and socialize right now in Muslim communities.  You know them.  You know where they are.

Hand them over to us, 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 Arab/Muslim representatives that HAVE appeared in the media were defensive and equivocating..  They seemed more concerned with making sure that the United States proves who was responsible before taking action.  They seemed more concerned with protecting their fellow Muslims from violence directed towards them in the United States 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 presidents, burning the American flag, shooting weapons into the air.  A form whose members convert from a peaceful religion, only to take up arms against the great United States of America, the country of their birth.  A form whose rules are so twisted, that their traveling members refuse to show their faces at airport security checkpoints, in the name of Islam.

 
We will NEVER allow the attacks of September 11, or any others for that matter, to take away that which is so precious to us:  Our rights under the greatest constitution in the world.  I want to know where every Arab 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 constitution that is protecting you and your family.

I am pleading with you to let me know.  I want you here as my brother, my neighbor, my friend, as a fellow American.
But there can be no gray 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 Canada, with all the
multiculturism we've been told is so important....why should we not, as Canadians, expect that the millions 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 Canada 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. The Muslim religious beliefs the are in direct conflict with Canadian laws and traditions , I am sorry but they have to go. The Canadian government and other of the free world must take a stand much like the Australian government has done and rid ourselves of these people in our country. If you want to live here we welcome you with open arms only you must obey our laws as they are written, our editions not yours. If you do not like our laws and our way of life then leave. no one is forcing you to stay here. You had the freedom to come here and you have the freedom to leave. I am afraid that if you keep up the nonsense of try to change our country to your beliefs you will not be safe here. Either the Muslims conform or leave. There should be no choice.

 
I hope you will forward, so others will feel they are not alone if they are starting to feel the same.

The above said, it must be known and appreciated, that some Muslims, Imams [spiritual leaders] in Canada and the US, and some other Muslims, including a Muslim University of Calgary professor, have had the courage to speak out against terrorism and anti-Canada or anti-US hatred and support of terrorist violence as being evil and anti-Islam. If you look and see and read the opinions out there, you will find this. It can be done, it can be said. It must be said.

Ordinary Muslims in Europe and Terrorist Profiling

This is a double-whammy. The opinions set forth below came from some friends who are as concerned as I am about Muslim immigration in Europe and North America AND Terrorism AND the politically correct fools who are willing to die, rather than take appropriate action to stop terrorism.

Let it be said that there are many Muslims who immigrated to Canada and the US to get away from the very things the following opinions and comments talk about, and some of them are even speaking out against the terrorists and their supporters. Better now than never, even if a bit late in the game.

The first part of the comments set forth below are particularly aimed at the European situation, which is critical for many countries. The second part is aimed particularly at Canada and the US where we have not yet reached a critical stage. Something can still be done to reverse and stop the situation here from reaching that critical stage. This will only happen if many people, including our leaders, remove their heads from those nether regions they have stuck them into.

Here are the comments:

ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ

The following is a copy of an article written by Spanish writer Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez and published in a Spanish newspaper on 1-15-08. It doesn't take much imagination to extrapolate the message to the rest of Europe - and possibly to the rest of the world.

=====================================================

REMEMBER AS YOU READ -- IT WAS IN A SPANISH PAPER

ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ
By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez

I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a terrible truth - Europe died in Auschwitz. We killed six million Jews and replaced them with 20 million Muslims. In Auschwitz we burned a culture, thought, creativity, talent. The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science, art, international trade, and the conscience of the world. These are the people we burned.

And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to an unwillingness to work and support their families with pride.

They have blown up our trains and turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world, drowning in filth and crime.

Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.

And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical hatred, creative skill for destructive skill, intelligence for backwardness and superstition.

We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their talent for hoping for a better future for their children, their determined clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our children and theirs.

What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe.

No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we North Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling. Fortunately in Canada the extremists were caught before they could do any damage. Unfortunately the courts have let two of them go free to do it again. What were they thinking?

Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that want to thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves -- if they have any such sense.

As the writer of the award winning story 'Forrest Gump' so aptly put it, 'Stupid is as stupid does'.

A Curse On Them - Airline Security and Government Incompetence

Here we go again. I don't come this way very often these days, mostly because its such a waste of time, so I only do it when something really frosts my balls.

This time its the US, British, Canadian and other so-called democratic governments and their travel security wogs and their dreadful and dreary inpompetence and stupidity that has my goat.

As a senior citizen and a traveller - what else have I got to do with my time? - I would like to travel by air occasionally. However, no more. Luckily, I am healthy enough to be able to drive almost everywhere I want to go. Europe is too pass[eh], except for Eastern Europe and Turkey. So, I probably won't be flying there anymore. Mexico is too dangerous, what with the crooked and incompetent police and the super-violent drug trade. So I restrict myself to the continental US and Canada. Guess what? - I can drive anywhere in the US and Canada. It is still pleasant to do, the people are great, the border is not too much hassle, and the gas prices, motels, food and timeshares are OK.

I got nagged into agreeing to fly to Palm Springs this January. Never again. I told my wife - You fly down if you like! - then wait for me to drive down. She rapidly changed her tune for the next trip.

News to the airlines - fuck you. I am not going to subject myself to the delays, the hassles and the humiliations any more. It isn't worth it.

Last time I had the temerity to say this to some twit at WestJet she was upset that I had such an "anti-social" attitude [I should be grateful that they were caring for my security]. What crap!

First of all, the thing that precipitated this latest security atrocity was the idiot Islamist fanatic who was so incompetent and stupid that he burned himself on an airplane heading for Detroit at Christmas time. Of course, the world is full of idiot Islamist fanatics. The are mostly young and stupid, as well as suicidal [probably anxious to shuffle off this mortal coil in favour of cavorting with Muslim whores in "Paradise"]. Are we targetting these assholes as dangerous high-risk airline passengers? Nope. The European, the American and the Canadian authorities are so afraid of being labelled as not politically correct, they steadfastly ignore the obvious dangerous class of lunatics. Consequently, the ones that must be made to suffer are the law-abiding innocent travellers - senior citizens, babies, young children, and others, who must put up with increasingly stupid and still ineffective so-called "security" measures, just so the idiot bureaucrats can falsely claim they are doing "something" about the problem.

When was the last time a senior citizen of European ancestry, a baby, a child, even anyone else of European ancestry blew up an airplane? Would I be correct to say - never? So why are we targetted by the security dunderheads?

Secondly, in the case of the Detroit-bound asshole, he had already been identified to all of the relevant authorities by his father, well before he passed through one or more border security stations and got on the several airlines necessary to get from Europe to the plane about to land in Detroit. Does this also not reveal colossal bungling, incompetence, ineptitude, laziness, and other unknown forms of stupidity on the part of the paragons of security in several countries? So now, to compensate for the aforesaid incompetence, we, the aforesaid innocent travelling public, must suffer at the hands of the same idiots.

Thirdly, what is even worse, the many instances of Islamist attempts at violence, some immediately successful and others not so successful, have given our governments, police, judges and bureaucrats the excuses to strip away the hard-won civil liberties our civilization has fought for over many centuries, and impose aspects of a police state on us, such as spying on all citizens' communications, unconstitutional seizure of property and personal information, as well as arrest and detention without warrant or reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing based on real evidence, etc.

Please forgive me for the rant. But as you can guess, I am pissed off, not so much at the Islamofascists, but at our so-called "authorities" and "protectors". These people, like Stalin, Hitler, the Chinese Communists, the military dictatorship of Burma [Myanmar], and others like them, are as much enemies of the people and of democracy as the fanatical Islamists, but they are wolves in sheeps' clothing. Most of us are too lazy, ignorant or stupid to see it. A curse on such people and their friends and associates. May they burn in Hell forever.
