Waco was a screw up made by the Imperial Federal Government and its overzealous Justice Department. The people in Waco did nothing wrong that warranted the situation that they were placed in. The firearms they had were all legally obtained. The drug connection of a possible meth lab on the premises was false. Their was a meth lab there at one time, however, it was before the Branch Davidians bought the property. If the government wanted David Koresh so bad, they had ample opportunities to take him peacefully while he was in town. They chose not to do that. Instead they went with a full on assault and even used military equipment against civilians. This is not allowed. This was all simply a way to justify the over inflated budget of the ATF. I will stop now on that subject because I could go on forever with it.
Anyway, on to the subject at hand.
It seems that some people here are blowing statements way out of proportion. Their is in no way anything racist about what was said. The fact is that this was a terrorist attack. The fact is that it was carried out by a Muslim. The fact is that most terrorist who happen to be Muslim are in one way or another associated with Osama Bin Jack-Ass. Whether they belong to Al-Qaeda directly, or are a member of other terrorist organizations that work with it, such as Islamic Jihad, or they simply believe in his teachings, such as his Fatwah which makes statements like "The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies civilians and military is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it
". I would like you to prove me wrong on this. Find me one instance in the past 10 years, where an Islamic terrorist has not been in some way connected to Bin Jack-Ass. If I remember correctly, in the world today we have something like 140 armed confrontations going on. I believe it is something like 135 involve Muslim terrorists. I will have to check on those exact numbers when I get more time to research it.
Taking these facts how they are, it is a very realistic assumption, or question, to wonder if their are ties to Al-Qaeda. That can simply not be racist. There is no way anyone can make that connection. Sure, you might be able to call it bigoted, but even that is a long shot. Racism is the belief that one race is superior over another race. No one has said that their race was superior over Muslims, or that Muslims were inferior. You will not find that anywhere in any of these posts.
I will say this, I am a superior moral human being when compared to the likes of these people. No, not peace loving Muslims, but terrorists who happen to be Muslim. Why do I say that? Simple. I am superior because I live by a code of ethics and morals that say it is wrong to take an innocent human life. These cowards do not. To me, taking the moral high road is superior then killing someone simply because you disagree with them. Does that make me racist? No. Why? Because I do not feel that I am superior to a race. I feel I am superior to a culture. That culture being one that teaches that killing someone because they do not agree with your fanatical religious beliefs is what God wants you to do. So, seeing as everyone in the world today likes to come up with new "isms" and "ists", you can call me a culturalist.
If you look at the history of this man, you will find that he had expressed sympathy over the Sept 11th bombings. However, the sympathy was for the terrorists, not the innocent Americans, and many other nationalities, killed. He might not have a direct connection with Al-Qaeda, but it is not a far jump, hell it aint even a skip, to make the connection that he does in fact believe in the teachings of Bin Jack-Ass.
For someone to say that America or the military is Anti-Muslim simply makes me want to puke. Our soldiers have lost their lives protecting Muslims in places like Bosnia, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. How are we repaid? We are repaid by wastes of human flesh killing innocent people by the thousands. Sickening.
Judith makes a statement regarding Charles Manson. Why do people not make statements such as All White Men are not bad? Well, if you remember the OKC bombing of the Federal building you will recall the entire Michigan Militia ordeal. Hundreds of thousands of Americans were in an uproar about militias. Many were trying to connect hunting clubs, who are mainly white, with militias and the McVeigh. Now we all know that every white man who owns a gun is not a militia member. Some of us even recognize the need for militias in our country and their purpose. However, we had one bad man who happened to be linked to a militia, and all of a sudden, all militia members were bad people. This simply is not true. If, God forbid, another white man bombed a building, many would try to make a militia connection of some sort. Heck, I might wonder the same thing, and I for one support most militias. Those being the ones that are not extremists factions. This is much like what we are facing today. However, this time it is with Muslims. Sure there are some idiots out there who think all Muslims are bad people, just like those who thought any firearm owner was a bad militia man. However, the logical thinking among us know this is not true.
The above paragraph might to some sound like a contradiction of what I was saying earlier. I assure you that it is not. Their are far too many connections between these parasites and Bin Jack-Ass. The most obvious is the conversion to the Muslim faith. The second would be the terrorist acts. The third would be the fact that they were Sept 11th hijacker sympathizers. The fourth being that they were reportedly overheard making statements of killing innocents. Now they are probably not Al-Qaeda, but you can make a good assumption that the believe in BJAs Fatwah.
So now I ask, why is it so unreasonable to wonder if two terrorists, who are Muslim, could have some sort of connection with Al-Qaeda?
