Fictional posting get you no where.
Muslims kill most Muslims.
Islams has long passed its high point which it stole from other cultures.
: If you are still shaken by the horrifying scenes of September
11,
: please observe a moment of silence for the 5,000 civilian lives lost
in
: the New York, Washington DC and Pennsylvania attacks.
:
: While
we're at it, let's have 13 minutes of silence for the 130,000
: Iraqi
civilians killed in 1991 by order of President Bush Sr. Take
: another
moment to remember how Americans celebrated and cheered in the
:
streets.
:
: Now another 20 minutes of silence for the 200,000 Iranians
killed by
: Iraqi soldiers using weapons and money provided to young Saddam
Hussein
: by the American government before the great eagle turned all its
power
: against Iraq.
:
: Another 15 minutes of silence for the
Russians and 150,000 Afghans
: killed by troops supported and trained by the
CIA. Plus 10 minutes of
: silence for 300,000 Japanese killed in Hiroshima
and Nagasaki by the
: Atomic bombs dropped by the USA.
:
: We've just
kept quiet for one hour: one minute for the Americans killed
: in NY, DC,
and Pennsylvania, 59 minutes for their victims throughout
: the world.
:
: If you are still in awe, let's have another hour of silence for all
:
those killed in Vietnam, which is not something Americans like to
: admit.
The US went to another continent thousands of miles away and
: burnt tens of
thousands of Vietnamese peasants with napalm. Or for the
: massacre in
Panama in 1989, where American troops attacked poor
: villagers, leaving
20,000 Panamanians homeless and thousands more dead.
:
: Or for the
millions of children who have died because of the USA
: embargoes on Iraq
and Cuba. Or the hundreds of thousands brutally
: murdered throughout the
world by US-sponsored civil wars and coups
: d'etat (Chile, Argentina,
Uruguay, Bolivia, Guatemala, El Salvador to
: name a few).
:
: Maybe,
and although the memory of Americans claims otherwise, someone
: may
remember the USA attack on Baghdad where 18,000 civilians were
: killed. Did
someone see it on CNN? Was justice ever served? Or was
: there even any
retaliation?
:
: We hope that Americans finally begin to understand
their vulnerability
: and the attacks and other tragedies that they have
caused around the
: world. The dead in other places hurt as much as the dead
of the Towers,
: maybe even more!
:
: What about the 560,000 Iraqi
children (as per current UN data) who have
: died as a direct cause of the
US supported sanctions against Iraq? Are
: these the children of a lesser
God? What about a new generation of
: nearly one million Iraqi children who
are currently having their lives
: being ruined by improper nutrition, lack
of medicine and inferior
: education because of US supported sanctions.
:
:
: Now, let's talk about terrorism, shall we?
