probably is the fifth or sixth leading nuclear power in the world. But,
ask yourself have they ever threatened to wipe any other country off the
face of the map? No. Has the U.S. ever threatened such. No. Have any
number of Islamic fascists threatened to. Yes, indeed. And they continue
their threats almost daily.

So, go ahead side with the wrong side. It only makes your other
conspiracy crap all the easier to dismiss. This is what I love about
liberal wackos. Give them plenty of rope and they hang themselves every
time. Bwaaahahahahahhahahahahah! But, honestly, Larry. You seem to have
some grounded ideas elsewise. But you've clearly been spending too much
time on liberal conspiracy blogs. Keep it up and you'll be completely
over the top and you'll end up ranting, raving and puffing with the
likes of Ted Kennedy and Al Gore against your own country.

My Dear Wilbur,
Thank you for disclosing your fanatical hatred of Islam.

I don't see anything in what he wrote that sounds
like fanaticism or hatred. Perhaps you were upset
by his term "Islamic fascists". Do you think that
all Moslems are good and that none are fascists?

As a Moslem, which by your definition makes me a fascist and a
terrorist, start looking over your shoulder because I might decide to
come and get you.

You are putting words in his mouth. He did not
say that all moslems are fascists.

Also, it is a well known fact that the president
of Iran has publicly stated several times that
Israel has no right to exist and should be wiped
off the world map. This sounds like he wants to
start a war--which by the way would surely turn
into a nuclear war if Israel felt its existence
were really threatened.

Actually, what you wrote also sounds threatening
from my perspective. You told him to "start
looking over his shoulder" which should be
construed as a threat. Is it common for moslems
to threaten when they are upset? It is actually
illegal here in the US to threaten someone. It is
called "assault".

Isn't that what we do?

I wouldn't know. A few moslems are certainly
making the religion look very bad right now.

Your name is now on the list

This is more threatening language. It makes you
look bad.

which should give you some cause for your
irrational phobias and obvious bitterness towards life. Perhaps if you
hadn't been such a miserable and negative SOB then your wife would not
have left you and your kids might care to visit.

A personal attack on one you do not know
personally. Even if he has offended you deeply,
your words are unseemly and unwise.

Have a wonderful day

Love
Mohammed Panaeyotis ibn Hendra

Love is surely in short supply in the world right
now. Perhaps now you will threaten me also?

Don,
None of the above.

I wrote in jest to provoke the man. Wilbur, aka The Captain, is a
small man with an inferiority complex who seems to delight and gain a
reason for living by being rude and offensive to others as his own
life is sadly somewhat lacking.

Nobody I know has any truck or sympathy for terrorism of any kind and
are saddened and annoyed at the growth of terrorism and these acts of
violence against innocent people world wide regardless of their
religion with which it has little to do and is used as an excuse and
point of focus for hatred. These include Tamil terrorists in Sri
Lanka, Hindu terrorists in India, the various Islamic terrorist groups
(who I reiterate are being totally un-Islamic) and Christian
terrorists such as in Indonesia who are being equally un-Christian.

On the first anniversary of 9/11 I attended the closing ceremony of a
two week joint exercise between Indonesian and Malaysian Marine
Customs. Most present were practising Moslems though we also have in
our ranks Buddhists, Taoists, Hindus and Christians. The Director
General of Indonesian Customs called for a prayer and a five minute
silence in respect of all those who died; fathers, mothers, children,
brothers and sisters. I looked around and every man and woman had
removed their caps and bowed their heads out of respect. In a
situation such as this it was not compulsory to do so. After, there
was a sober hush as nobody spoke for quite some time. Some stood there
continuing to pray or to think about the evil that had been
perpetrated. I saw tough, ex special services men with tears in their
eyes.

What most are concerned about however, is that every Moslem gets
tarred by the brush applied to Osama bin Ladin or some extreme
ayatollah from Iran. They are not anti-American. The question I have
had asked of me by so many is "Peter, why is America against Moslems?"
They just do not understand.

The Christian terrorists or more correctly, those terrorists of
Indonesia who are Christian, engage in heroin trafficking from the
Golden Triangle to the West and the smuggling of small girls and women
from Cambodia for the sex trade in order to buy weapons. These are a
high focus of Customs work as it is a sea born trade through the
Malcca Straits. Nobody would make the mental leap to conclude from
this that all Christians are supporters of terrorism and sex with
little girls as young as 6 years old or that it has anything to do
with doctrinal tenets. It is merely politically convenient for some
Western politicians to do so in regard to Islam.

As I said, in our ranks we have several religions. What warms my heart
is that there is a wonderful tolerance between them all. During the
Hindu Devali (Hindu New Year), Chinese New Year, Ramadan and Christmas
festivals for example, families of different faiths visit each other's
homes and are respectful of their beliefs. Sometimes things get a bit
confused. My wife and son, who are nominally Christian (my
Mother-in-law is an Anglican minister) are phoned by several friends
(strict Moslems and Hindus) at midnight on Christmas Eve and wished a
"Happy Christmas" - confusing it with the Western New Year's Eve.

I have six adopted daughters (they were between 6 and 11 years old)
who were caught being smuggled from Cambodia for the sex trade. I
raise them as Buddhists, not as Moslems, because they were born into
that religion. Neither I nor anyone else have any right to make them
convert. They do however like Christian Christmas presents and
birthdays with parties and cakes with candles.

Yes, I probably did go a bit overboard with The Captain, but he never
offended me; I was just provoking him for my own entertainment. I
shouldn't have. We also should turn the other cheek.

cheers and thanks for your comments
Peter
