The American Ayatollah

Yesterday Canada denied entry to Terry Jones, the Florida pastor who burned a Koran and supported the Innocence of Muslims video that was released earlier this year. Both incidents sparked riots in the Middle East, resulting in death and destruction.

Jones insists that he has freedom of speech, but as a foreign demagogue who has incited riots that resulted in the deaths of Americans and their allies, he can't expect Canada to let him mark Canadians for death as well.

Terry Jones is the worst kind of rabble rouser. Burning the Koran and insulting Mohammed in a video are acts intentionally gauged to cause riots and death in the Middle East. Jones then points an accusing finger at Muslims, saying that they are evil, filled with hate and rage.

Jones is like a man who keeps a mean dog chained up, starving and beaten, who then turns it loose on the streets. And then when the dog mauls a child he says it proves that dogs are vicious monsters that should all be destroyed.

Jones incites hatred in Muslims against Americans in order to incite the same hatred in Americans. In the process he has tainted the Muslim view of all Americans. Just as all Americans are hate-filled bile-spewing fanatics like Jones, not all Muslims are evil, hate-filled rioting fanatics. But some certainly are.

A few days ago the Taliban in Pakistan carried out an assassination attempt against Malala Yousafzai, a fourteen-year-old girl. Her crime? She advocated for girl's education. Condemnation in Pakistan for this vile attack was swift. Similarly, Al Qaeda killed hundreds of innocent Muslims during the Iraq War, a fact which the United States used to its advantage to turn Sunnis against Al Qaeda and make the Surge possible.

Why burn a book or insult a prophet who's been dead for fourteen centuries, when Jones could point to real atrocities committed by fanatics and corrupt Muslim leaders against Muslims in the here and now? Muslims have risen up against despots in Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia, and Syria. Popular support for the government in Iran is wobbly as the country suffers from economic sanctions imposed by the UN. And yet, at a time we have a huge opportunity to gain the support of the average Muslim in the street, Jones is stoking the fires of hatred and sabotaging American foreign policy.

Terry Jones is an American ayatollah, a spiritual clone of Khomeini with his constant talk of Satan and evil. Every time Jones burns a Koran and insults the prophet he issues a fatwa to all fanatics to kill Americans.

Yup, might as well be detonating the suicide vest himself....

Wait. No, it's those other guys doing the actual violence.

Yeah, I remember somebody once telling me something about sticks and stones......

Something about this misplacing the blame reminds me of saying that woman was asking for it wearing such a short skirt.....

So, in addition to being a cross-burning racist cocksucker, Nikto thinks that women who get raped are asking for it.

No wonder your Father is so ashamed of you Nikto.

You make me sick.

I usually don't post to your threads as you're too stupid to bother with. But, for the record, you are too stupid to bother with.
