Since March 31, 2005, three incidents were reported where pirates armed with guns and grenades have attacked ships and fired upon them. These attacks took place far away from Somali coast. Eastern and north eastern coasts of Somalia continue to be high-risk areas for hijackings. Ships not making scheduled calls to ports in these areas should stay away from the coast. |

It appears that all but one of these many acts of piracy was committed by Muslims. Once upon a time the USA had the common sense, the will and the sense of self preservation to punish pirates, viz the Barbary Pirates who were severely curtailed by the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marines in the early 1800s. (Hence "The Shores of Tripoli" in the Marine anthem) It is worth noting that the Barbary Pirates were also Muslims Today we could not possibly do so because it would be soooo politically incorrect to persecute any member of this "great" religion. Why, the ACLU would have the government in court faster than a personal injury lawyer at a plane crash site and the "New York Times" would come out with banner attack headlines. The rest of the American main-stream media would follow in lock-step. Flame away, liberal assholes! wrote in message oups.com... Hmmm... the natives have been restless!

Joe,
The fact they are Muslims is irrelevant. It doesn't matter what their culture is. They're Pirates, that's all that relevant, and should be dealt with on that basis, and no this isn't a flame, just a difference of opinion.

Joe, The fact they are Muslims is irrelevant...... Maybe. After kicking their butts we offered a peace treaty but their rulers refused saying that their religion forbade them signing peace treaties with Christian nations. President Jefferson then assured them that the USA was a secular nation NOT a Christian nation. Satisfied, they signed the treaty and quit attacking American shipping altho they continued to attack Christian ships. |

same today. "Vito" wrote in message ... "Paul Schilter" ""paulschilter\"@comcast dot net" wrote Joe, The fact they are Muslims is irrelevant...... Maybe.

Every last one of the individuals who hijacked our planes and killed our people on 9-11 were Muslims. They (Muslims) are allowed to operate schools in our country where their students are indoctrinated with hatred for our culture (well, what's left of it). They (the Muslims) are involved in genocide in Africa. They (the Muslims) are bombing Christian Christian churches in several countries. They (the Muslims) are persecuting every other religion, viz. Hinduism, Bahai-la, Buddhism. They are determined to destory every single being on this earth who does not accept their religion of blood and vengeance. I point this out in response to a posting someone else made and I am "a cowardly little anonymous poster, hiding behind . . . lacy skirts." Just what kind of nut are you, Brian Whatcott of Altus, Oklahoma. Joe |

The rest of the American main-stream media would follow in lock-step. Flame away, liberal assholes! There are bad Muslims and good Muslims, just as there are bad Christians and good Christians. Prejudice means to pre judge, that is, you make your decision before you have the facts. Prejudice keeps you from distinguishing between good and bad. You either assume that all members of some group, race, tribe, or nationality have the exact same traits. Logic and experience should alert you that such sameness is very unlikely. The answer is to look at the facts. For those Muslims who are pirates, terrorist, murderers etc. let's punish them severely. For those Muslims who are gentle, caring, productive people, let's encourage them and befriend them so that they will increase in numbers. For Christians who murder and steal and try to impose their religion on everybody else in the world, let's punish them. For those Christians who love their fellow humans and try to put the loving teaching of Jesus into practice, let's encourage and befriend them. All the ACLU is asking you to do is treat individuals as individuals. If the facts show that a particular person is bad, lay on the punishment. If the person is good, even though many of his/her group are bad, do not punish the person for the sins of the majority of the group. To do otherwise is to wallow in stupidity -- "don't confuse me with the facts; let me just hate all members of a group without having to think." In life it is very important to distinguish between your friends and your enemies. You cannot do that on a group basis. You have to do it on a person-by-person basis. Lee Huddleston |
Joe,
I also note that all the pirates mentioned in the report were men. Does that mean that we should hate and punish all men in the world? Including you? No, we should distinguish between good men and bad men, just as we do between good Muslims and bad Muslims. Lee Huddleston |

Hey Joe--
Did you know that 100% of Hitler's inner circle, and Hitler,were Christians? Isn't enough enough ?! Lets fire up the bulldozers and shove all the religous folk in a pit and put a lid on it. ! |
Chuck... To the best of my knowledge it appears that the "main line
of defense" is the vessel's fire hoses. I know that the container ship that I "hang out" on... the crew would have to use the convent- ional system of hoses that are positioned through out the ship. It would seem that at least one water canon type configuration mounted at the aft section of the poop deck would be a slick safety addition. While under way... I have heard a lot of attempted boardings occur from the rear because this is often a void spot for the ship's radar and an easy access point due to low entry heights.

Skipper-- You assume a great deal when you speculate about what they teach at my church. I do not happen to have one, so don't try to disparage my reasoning by attempting to associate me with the religious right. I agree with them on some things as I disagree with them on others. My thesis is rather simple: Muslims (Yes, Skipper, a generalization) have been hating those who were not totally adherent to their abberant religion since Mohammed was practicing pedophelia back in the Sixth Century. The uninterrupted history of Islam is one of hatred of, and war against, all unbelievers. They were one of the greatest threats that has ever existed to Western culture (and all other cultures as well). They overran the Iberian peninsula and were not thrown out until Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain forced them out in the 14th Cent. Charles Martel stopped them in France a few centuries before that but they persisted in invading and occupying parts of southern France for a long time after that, burning churches and monasteries and wreaking havoc wherever they went. They almost overran Europe again in the 16th Cent. and actually made it to the gates of Vienna before being turned back by Europeans who, unlike some of the Muslim defenders in this gorup were willing to fight for the preservation of their culture (again, not that there is a lot of our culture left--thanks to the mindless type of imbecil who rushes to defend them in the name of "tolerance." Today, the Muslims continue their bloody persecution of their neighbors and other non-believers throughout the world, in Thailand, in India, in Africa, in the Philippines, in eastern Europe, in the former Soviet Union, in the Middle East, even in China. In Africa they have actually committed genocide and, incidentally, how did you like their recent slaughter of those innocent school children in Russia. As these words are being written Muslims (the leftist press in this country describe them as "extremists," in an attempt to excuse the main body of Islam) are doing every thing they can to devise a way of killing hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens right here in the USA through the acquisition and detonation of an atomic bomb or through the release of biological agents that could potentially even kill millions. Of course there are good Muslims who reject what is being done but their condemnation of these horrific acts has not exactly been deafening. Just observe their principal television station Al Jazeera. That there are good Muslims has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the thrust of Muslim jihad against all the other people in the world. Islam is a religion of indescribable intolerance, of bitter hatred for those who do not accept it. For more than fourteen hundred years Islam has waged bloody wars against those with whom it disagrees. The poor misled souls in this NG who rush to defend Islam in the name of "tolerance" and "non-discrimination" are simpletons who have been so brainwashed by those who are leading our country and our civilization down the path of self destruction and cultural suicide that they don't even recognize how their own existence and that of their prodigy is in greater danger than they can begin to imagine. The United States of America, the last superpower, is in graver danger than it has ever been. It will not be conquered by an alien nation, it is much too powerful. It will be destroyed from within through cultural suicide. Sadly we are witnessing that suicide in the type of comments appearing here. It is just a tad distressing because I had always harbored an illusion that sailors, because of the self-reliance and independence that the sea demands, were a more discerning lot. Of course, not everyone in the NG thinks as Skipper and Huddleston seem to think but the number of people in America who are on their wavelength probably constitute the majority. That's why we are in such danger. Joe |
looks like somebody has had their brain removed by that Mike Savage
fella. Either that or Joe has two brains. . . one's lost and the other is out looking for it. I'm amazed at how these conservatives whine and act victimized --- as if the liberals were kicking their asses. Lets see, there's a born again xian republican in the white house, there is a majority rebup. senate and congress. . . Gee, I guess you poor conservatives are on the ropes. Espcially with Fox news the rest of the liberal media bending reality. |
