Did I ever say they didn’t? No. Hell, even some radical Islamists are in the giving mood. From the AP:
“A radical Islamic group once headed by the alleged leader of a Southeast Asian terrorist group has set up a relief operation in tsunami-stricken Aceh province.
“The Laskar Mujahidin group, which campaigns for an Islamic state in Indonesia and is fiercely anti-American, established a camp close to hundreds of other local and international volunteers at the military airport in Banda Aceh, beneath a sign in English that reads “Islamic Law Enforcement.”
“About 50 Laskar Mujahidin members are collecting corpses still buried beneath debris in the provincial capital, distributing food and spreading Islamic teachings among refugees, one of its members said Thursday.
“They would not interfere with foreign troops — as long as the foreigners kept strictly to humanitarian operations, Jundi said. “
um… this post was about taekwondo. stop bringing islamic crap into everything.
um… mlah, this post was about taekwondo, stop bringing me into everything.
um… medium john, lick my fookin balls.
and it’s not “islamic crap”, it’s islamic charity for the tsunami victims, you got some kind of problem with that?
excuse me? that was uncalled for. immature punk. and yes, it is islamic crap. i do have a problem with any people that think they can win some points by helping out some people in spite of the fact that they have no respect whatsoever for human life. friggin sand monkeys.
Laskar Mujahidin has spent the past several years going about Aceh province and slaughtering Christians — thousands of them. Their entire raison de etre is to kill Christian preachers and their adherents in the mostly-Islamic state. The “refugee camp” they have set up is run under sharia law, and is nothing more than a madrassa for their hate-filled beliefs. They have warned US (and other Western) volunteers that if they try to spread the Western lifestyle (such as freedom of thought, freedom of religion, etc) then they will be targeted as enemies, just like the other Christians they have slaughtered. (Doctors Without Borders has even warned its personnel against travel on board US military vehicles so as not to be caught in any such attack.) Gus finds that admirable? How, um, freekin’ LIBERAL of you, Gus!
And stick to the topic: TKD!
Oh wait, I get it! Gus was simply equating the volunteer work done by conservatives — as mentioned by Mlah — with the volunteerism of murderous Islamofascists. He was essentially equating American conservatives with those murderous thugs. Thank you for the commentary, Gus, you Mikey-Moore-wannabe! You probably also think the Southern Baptist Church is worse than the Taleban?
yeah, what he said. hippie.
well, i’m glad to see y’all are so good at sticking to the taeknowdo topic, too!
this islamic group isn’t trying to “win some points”– they are honestly interested in helping out their islamic brothers and sisters. i don’t see any of you “collecting corpses still buried beneath debris”, no matter one’s opinion of shariah. jeezus, there are only 50 of them, calm your hemorrhoids! I would fight not to live under th Taliban, myself, ALMOST as hard as I would fight not to live under a Southern Baptist theocracy, but no, I am not quite equating them. Baptists only kill abortion doctors (within borders).
dude, you’re a hippie. and a douche. and you’re the one who brought up this whole debate, so don’t try to blame us for deviating from the topic of taekwondo. which, consequentally, doesn’t concern you. you would be wise to keep out of things that you don’t know anything about. especially when that subject is the art of kicking ass, which i assure you that mlah is a master.
MLAH has a perverse little imp in him who can’t resist baiting me, and I’m only too happy to oblige. So, MJ, please reread his post and take ass-kicking aim where it belongs, ya goose-stepping cretin.
And Yup, if your chosen rhetorical ploy is to somehow make me, and by extension all Liberals, cheerleaders for the violent death of Christians, my advice is to save us all a lot of time and hot air by getting a grip and some perspective. That angle didn’t even work for John Walker Lindh!
Taleban John? Huh? You’re saying one of my arguments was used by the stupid rich white boy from California who went to join Usama bin Laden in his fight to kill all the Americans? So now you are saying that I am on his level? Gus, you silly little boy. Tsk.
Or are you denying the murderous intent of this Islamofascist group that you praise so highly? Or does the murder of thousands by them not matter to you (since after all their victims were brown-skinned and merely Christians)? You letting your Liberal Racism show there, Gussy boy?
You allude to MJ being a Nazi stormtrooper? So you think that anybody who opposes your political beliefs is a murderous butcher? All while praising a group of certified murderous butchers?
You have some wires loose, Gus. Why don’t you pop a little pill and sit down to watch your DVD collection of Mikey Moore’s fantasy film series. Just push the arrow pointing to the right on your remote control, and sit back and drool. We don’t want you to hurt yourself again, trying to think like that in the future.
Gawd, Yupoid, did you ever misunderstand me! I would almost be impressed at how you twist things around– you may have a bright future in the 2nd W administration– if you weren’t so psychotic about it!
My point was that Lindh was not indicted for trying to kill Americans, as I (and by extension, Liberals) can’t be successfully indicted by you for cheering on the killing of Christians. I dunno how you came up with “You’re saying one of my arguments was used by the stupid rich white boy… So now you are saying that I am on his level?” No, I’m saying your argument against me falls as flat as the gov’t’s did against him. He joined up to fight the Northern Alliance, not America.
I have not denied the terrorist muders by this group. I’ve only addressed the present (since the tsunami). It’s true, they’re killers! It’s also true they’re helping with disaster relief! Both sentences are true. I praised their disaster relief. Does it logically follow that I praise their killing? No, you spastic dipstick. In fact I condemn it. This is why Liberals and I are not guilty of getting off on Christians dying.
And no, Medium John is not a “murderous butcher” for opposing my beliefs. When I said “goose-stepping”, it was meant to highlight the way he gets excited about violence and following leaders such as you and Mlah, the way German soldiers famously did. He doesn’t do so well with the independent thinking or the nuance. Seig heil, MJ! Ooh, you flinched, I saw that arm coming up!
