You Worry Me

[RangerRick]

The paper recently stated that some Muslim doctor is saying we are profiling him because he has been checked three times while getting on an airplane. Here's a proposed response:

YOU WORRY ME!
By American Airlines Pilot - Captain John Maniscalco

"I've been trying to say this since 9-11 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, nineteen 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/Muslims 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 "Jihads"? 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 preserve this freedom by 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 in Muslim communities. You know them. You know where they are.

[RangerRick]

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 large 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 cou ntry 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.

Do you and your fellow Muslims hate us because our women proudly show their faces in public rather than cover up like a shameful whore? Do you and your fellow Muslims hate us because we drink wine with dinner, or celebrate Christmas? Do you and your fellow Muslims hate us because we have befriended Israel , the ONLY FRIENDLY CIVILIZED SOCIETY in the Muslim/Arab area, that ! thinks and acts like most Americans.

And if you and your fellow Muslims hate us, then why in the world are you even here? Are you here to take our money? Are you here to undermine our peace and stability? Are you here to destroy us? If so, I want you to leave. I want you to go back to your desert sandpit where women are treated like rats and dogs. I want you to take your religion, your friends, and your family back to your Islamic extremists, and STAY THERE! We will NEVER give in to your influence, your retarded mentality, your twisted, violent, intolerant religion.

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"

[Tightwad]

Sorry but this piece is nothing more than "hate
mongering" against a people who are hated for
the fact that they belong to a religion & race
that is not like our own due to the actions of
a small portion of their population.

More Arabs are dieing than non-Arabs are at the
hands of these criminals. A handful of religion
Islamic religious leaders are fomenting the radical
Arabs to crimes for their own purposes that have
nothing to do with Arabs in general.

The claim that no Arab countries have helped America
is just plain nuts and fabricated lie. What about Jordan
or Saudi Arabia, or Uzbekistan , or Pakistan or?
I'll admit that except for Jordan a good bit of arm
twisting was required to get help from other countries
but we did get the help.

"Hate Mongering" pieces such as this only serve the
radical Islamic agenda instead of helping "good" Muslim's
in any fashion. Pieces like this damn all the Muslim's
no matter where they are or what they do which makes
all those who believe this type of hate dogma no
better than the terrorist themselves.

Blind hate such as this is the mark of a madman. ::)

Some of em worry me too Rick

[RangerRick]

Yeah, worry doesn't do one much good but it is a an accurate mental check from the Spirit within.

Rick

[Dan_Kane]

I respect the frank honesty of this writer. For me, the final 3 sentences really sum it all up...there's no uncontrolled hatred expressed here, merely singularly rational concern.

Thanks for posting it Rick :-)

[pancho]

Rick, Is there no minority that you do not hate. A person of a different color, a different religion, or a different belief is fair game for the inbred hillbillies. Come out of your hole in the ground an wake up. Take a look around. Your kind is the problem with america. You hate yourself and the country you live in. You spend too much time talking to and listening to those inbred hillbillies. Get a little education. School does not stop at the third grade. Go back for more and you will learn more about the country you hate so much.

[IrishDoc]

Sorry.... i gotta stand up with Rick on this one... SHOW ME the Muslims who are STRONGLY and in every media outlet going against the radicals... they arent.. plain and simple, they truly do want all of us to die... and it really is a war with them... figure it out people... its almost too late

[RangerRick]

Ever notice when the enemies of American freedom don't have a viable argument the standard ploy is to play "THEIR" race card. So in the end the issue isn't about American freedom but their racism they hold so dear. What a disgusting excuse for humanity they portray. When the despicable succeed morality loses.

Long live America, and the land of the free and the home of the brave.

[Dan_Kane]

Right on Rick....I've gotcha back...in spirit ;-)

You would have no idea about the land of the free and the home of the brave. You enjoy your hate and prejudice too much. You are far from brave. Picking on the minorities must make you feel big. To bad you cannot do anything else. If you were a real man you could do something other than post on a forum. But you would not be able to stand up to another man face to face. Just post your hate and hide behind a computer.

[RangerRick]

O my my, sounds like you're trying to work up to a full fledged threat there boy. Maybe you should clear your nose of that crap ya been peddling around the block. A few of us will be getting together down in Texas soon for a mini-roundi. I'll be there. Come on down and bring your hate filled bluster Buster. We can discuss you issues and maybe even kiss and make up.

:) Your Amigo,

Rick, does it take a group of men before you can stand up and act like a real man? Does it take a group of those such as you before they can build up enough courage to harrass a poor working man?
I realize there is probably a lot of kissing going on in your group but thanks anyway, I don't think I will join. Does your little group wear those cute little pink outfits?

[RangerRick]

Actually, the get together will be a few Backwoods folks so come on down, I'm sure we'll all have fun and really enjoy meeting the real you.

;D Your Amigo,

Are you suggesting that "BHM" folk's are like you? Or did you mean "BACKwoods" folk's?

Obsessions such as you hold now can, and do, cartwheel into mental
issues some of which we see here in your last few posts. Could it
be that you need to step back and re-evaluate your circle of associates
to see if you can do better? It's a small step from a "group' to a "mob"

[RangerRick]

Hey Wad,

Ya ever think you're looking at the world through a mirror and are only seeing the hate and bigotry of your own reflection. *Now there's something to "reflect" on.
I think maybe you and your bud "who's my daddy pancho" been snorting the same line of coke the way your working that "mind melt". Mad dogs do run in packs.

"*Mad dogs do run in packs. "

You should know this much better than I.

[kyhillbilly]

wow rick you have some real winners at your throat lol, why is it that if a person is against illegals then they are made out to be a racist? lets see i for one am against illegals being here and for people of a different color or religon i dont have a problem with that i work with blacks, whites, hispanics, asians, people from the mid east ect get along with them all very well but they are all here legaly, if someone wants to come here they should do it the right way, illegals are just that they are lawbreakers criminals if you will and should be kicked out of our country immediately. they are a drain on our tax dollars. my mom who has cancer was told in sept that she would have to pay for her prescriptions untill january out of her own pocket because of lack of funds maybe if so many wasnt abusing the system this wouldnt happen. keep up the good fight ranger rick wish there was more folks doing the same.

[RangerRick]

Kyhillbilly,

Well, my first guess would be to follow the money. *Supporters of illegal aliens are never on the moral high ground but instead are the very people to take advantage of illegals. *

Starting with the coyotes who smuggle the illegals and terrorists across our borders. *The get paid up front and if they can dump them or leave them locked in a truck or shipping container to starve or die of thirst so be it.

Then the transporters get their piece of the action charging big dollars for a ride putting 22 in a 16 passenger van or 50 in a U-Haul on a straight run to Chicago.

Then the block boss or his uncle or brother gets them a job and if they don't do as he dictates they don't get work but they will get a dime dropped on them to the local cops or ICE for a return trip home. *The illegal gets paid so he has to get it cashed which the boss or his uncle or sister sets up and takes another cut. *Maybe a female illegal is turned into prostitution because she's young and only has 1 or 2 babies but needs money and more or less indirectly works for the block boss or his nephew or buddy and I can just imagine how he is paid for his services. *The illegal has to have a place to sleep so the boss or maybe the boss' boss rents a house to 20-30 illegals and gets a nice piece of the action again. *Need a car, need a ride, need medical, need anything and everything - the block boss or one of his minions is there to help. Follow the money.

My guess is that our local Anti-Legal American types here at Backwoods Home are some of the parasites that feed in one way or the other off of the illegal aliens they are so concerned about. *Money talks.

Is there any wonder why some people have such passion regarding the illegal immigration of illegal aliens and the PARASITES that pray upon them? *If God created a more despicable person I'd hate to meet him.

What would Jesus do?

Leviticus 19:33-34
33 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.

34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

Exodus 22:21

You shall neither mistreat a stranger nor oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.


Deuteronomy 10:17

For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe.

The only hate I see is coming from you.

And the truth will set you free.

And when leftest start quoting God's Word you know someone's pooper is puckerin.

So scripture is meaningless?


And leftist?
I'm way to the right of you!!!!

[RangerRick]

Well, it is apparant you think you are, however I'm not the one proposing illegal rights to illegal aliens to illegal immigration via God's Word spun like a top.

However, if I did misunderstand your comments please accept my apology.

Rick

[Dont-tread-on-me]

Well, the scripture doesn't differentiate. Illegal or not.

How shall we balance this?

Gods word or mans law?

[RangerRick]

I suppose if your addressing immigration in Biblical times where there were virtually no laws covering illegal immigration in the middle east/Egypt and illegal immigration where there are current laws on the books in America prohibiting said activities we would be in disagreement specifically when we are required to obey man's laws if not contray to God's law.

Rick

[Dont-tread-on-me]

See, that creates a problem.
We twist scripture and the constitution to meet our agendas. They're losing their literal meaning.
I try to apply it all literally.
It's a matter of perspective....I'm Mennonite, I consider a good share of man's laws to be contrary to God's.

Another thing that concerns me....

We celebrated to tearing down of the Berlin Wall, allowing the oppressed to escape tyranny. A HUGE conservative victory. Yes it created all sorts of social problems, but it was the right thing to do. What's the right thing to do in this case?

Backslidden Pentecost here and I too have a few problems with man's law, in particular abortion and of course many more arenas. I think where the problems arise is in "literal translations". Do apples mean apples or pomegranates? Then when "we" left Egypt against the desires of the "law of the land" that raises questionable issues.

In this case of the illegal invasion of America by an invading people set on sucking the life from this nation, a land I happen to believe that has been and is blessed by God this land is our responsibility to maintain and to be held as a beacon of hope to the oppressed. HOWEVER, as a FREE GOD FEARING NATION FOUNDED UNDER GOD'S PRINCIPLES we have a responsibility to follow the laws established by that government so established by God - SO HELP US GOD!

We've become incredibly weak.
Socialism as eroded the very thing that (made) makes this country so great. It's the socialist programs that are making this such an issue.
America is no longer as Ronald Reagan saw it "America is a shining city upon a hill whose beacon light guides freedom-loving people everywhere."

All men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights means nothing anymore.

Certainly we don't need people sucking from the socialist teat. But, unfortunately, there's nothing practical coming from the other side either, no "this is the way to live free", "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll eat for a lifetime.",etc. and certainly no ministry!!! I certainly hope that search and destroy isn't the only viable "conservative" option. And, yes, I understand that there's no easy answer to any of this!

Yes, we've become incredibly weak, and until the socialism is reversed and we return to those principles that made this country that "beacon light" things will only get worse.

The true enemy lies within!

[RangerRick]

Thankfully, just as Ronnie, I still see the glass half full. *I see this nation as a strong bastion of freedom ever faithful to the precepts of our founding fathers. *If we arn't that shining city on the hill pray tell who is. *We as a nation are the physical hope of the world just as Jesus is our heavenly hope of eternal salvation. *True we have a bit of "rot" here and there but if we look back through our history we have had it all along, just as Satan has always been with us - a constant thorn in the flesh. *Brother, stand fast, hold true to your faith in God and country. *In God's eye we are indeed created equal, please don't be side-tracked by the stupidity of man, we answer to a higher authority and we are still subject to those unalienable rights governed by God. *Now, is the parcel of land we happen to be standing on happen to be our unalienable right per God's law - I think not.

Now, as to our conservative option, I don't believe it has changed and is still in fact as always our "rule of law" as based upon our constitution. *The easiest answer to provide, both in truth and compassion.

Have we become weak, possibly but possibly we have only lost our way temporarily just as we have done throughout history. *As we know, Satan is a lier and he comes to steal and deceive and destroy and will use any DIMWITTED PARASITE available to do his bidding. *The real question is, do we give in to apathy and allow Satan and his parasitic minions victory over our domain or do we carry on the "good fight" for God and country?

The time is now to gird up our loins, the battle is yet before us and the victory is ours.

Your Brother In Christ,

Rick
