War....a letter from Dad

It says:

Quote

If we can't stop the Muslims, how could anyone else?



I take that as a strongly racist comment and there are many others dotted throughout the text.

It is true that in the beginning the author draws a distinction between terrorists and Muslims, but later the author either purposely or accidentally blurs that distinction.



I took it differently. I understood him to mean the same thing throughout, but for expediency's sake he began to just say "the Muslims" instead of "the extremist faction of muslims who are terrorists." It was understood. He qualified it in the beginning so he wouldn't have to keep saying it through til the end.

Either way, my [I]subjective[/I] take on it is that there is racist hatred of Muslims (not just terrorist Muslims, but [I]all[/I] Muslims) bound up in that text.



My subjective take is that the author is simply tired of being told that he is racist for addressing the fact that many of the terrorists (most of them) that we are combating today claim to be Muslim. He's tired of how we are forbidden from addressing this fact by political correctness, which claims speciously that we are trying to label all of Islam as terrorist. How much more of a disavowal of racism do you want beyond his statement that he knows most muslims are peaceful, but that that fact is irrelevant when dealing with the muslims who are terrorists?

Well, in all fairness, in this case it's a pretty apt comparison.

Ok, Botellines. I will use an old well known quote, "As much as it bothers me, I agree with Botellines". I started to get a headache skimming through that way overwritten post. Ouchhh!!! Passion can sometimes be a terrible thing just like a terrorist's mind.

OLE OLE OLE!!!!!!

Wouldn´t it be wonderful if Juanesky, PeacefullJeffrey, Pajarito and Chuteless actually opened their eyes and agree with me too?:)

Well, PeacefulJeffrey is going to agree with me soon when he answers my question. :P

Now seriously, if that letter really was from a father to his son (which i REALLY doubt). We better call the social services ASAP

Edited for clarification

Hey guys, please DO send Love Letters via PM instead.:P



Reminds me of:

MUTUAL ADMIRATION SOCIETY
Teresa Brewer

(Matt Dubey/Harold Karr)

"We belong to a mutual admiration society.
My baby and me. We belong to a mutual admiration society!
She thinks I'm handsome and I'm smart.
I think she's a work of art.
She says that I'm the greatest man
And likewise, I'm his biggest fan.
I say her kisses are like wine.
He says they're not as good as mine.
And that's the way we pass the time.
My baby and me, oh we belong to a mutual admiration society!
My baby and me!"
...

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
