"islam=plague" Iradicate it!
You have a terrible problem with your spelling, it shows you don't read but listen to what other tell you. You need to eradicate Americanism which is greed and dominance. Actually America itself is the plague, why not pray to God Almighty to eradicate America. America is in the grip of so many plagues, homosexuality, lesbianism, alcoholism, gambling, prostitution, and anything you call evil that is America. You may have to expect your down fall soon.

May 21, 2007, 3:43 p.m.snipe,
Do you have a practical means of irradicating Islam, given that it is a religion that covers a good part of the world and includes many U.S. citizens?

May 21, 2007, 10:47 a.m.Now, why doesn't our State Department (let alone the intelligence community)capitalize on divisions like this? Does the CIA even know this is happening?

May 21, 2007, 11:05 a.m.Can't wait for the "Homegrown American Terror Tubbies" to start Blaming Bush for this too.
"You see, being a liberal is the easiest, most gutless choice a human being can make."
"The time is now to squash the barbaric one man sham that is Islam"
Foolish is the person who thinks this will allow just work itself out.

May 21, 2007, 11:24 a.m.Look what is happening all over the world. From Asia to the entire Middle East, Islamic fanatics are brutally killing each other and innocent men, women and children. Few countries are being spared this pathological path of destruction. In Europe and America, the Islamic fanatics are bombing buildings and subways. I can't think of a single group that has as much disregard for human life as the Religion of Peace. And they show absolutely no remorse.

May 21, 2007, 11:27 a.m.Three MOABs dropped in a triangle shape 600 yards apart would speed the Jihaddies into the arms of their imaginary virgins. Think of this solution as a group trip of discovery with 25,000 of your comrades in arms.

May 21, 2007, 11:58 a.m.You have to let these Aholes fight each other. It is hard for us to fight a war on terror with the scumbag liberal press leading idiots around by their noses! Face it ... most Dims/Dems/Libs/Centrists think Jihad is a wrap at Taco Belle. Islam the Religion of pieces! WCFeels??? Most Muslims or a large minority want to eradicate Judaism and Christianity, it's Not the other way around! Libs can never get this right. I guess that is why they are still libs! Most Muslim countries have outlawed or restricted Judaism and Christianity... again Not the other way around. I don't even think most Dems in the Senate know this... That's why they are Dims! Score one for the 28%!

May 21, 2007, 12:17 p.m.They've been in these camps since Israel was created in 1948? You think the Lebanese would just grant them citizenship. And what's up with these enclaves being somehow ruled by the Palestinian Authority when they're practically in a civil war between Fatah and Hezbollah? Arab Muslims perpetrating a culture of poverty for these people instead of just integrating them. I went on an Iranian blog site once and even the Persians make fun of the Arabs. lol

May 21, 2007, 1:36 p.m.Yay! Terrorists attacking their own "people".
Can these nuts get any dumber? Let 'em all wipe each other out for all I care.
And this goes to prove, unlike what the Libs would have us believe, that there IS terrorism outside of Afghanistan. SURPRISE!!

May 21, 2007, 2:18 p.m.Like it or not, the 2008 election for President is not going to change the desire of Jihaddist to kill American, Jews and anyone else they dislike. If Obama or Hillary are elected the death Americans, by the hand of Islam, could actually increase. Republican or Democrat will be forced to take military action as sitting around talking and talking only speeds the next attack. After 2008, America will still be fighting Islam in some bass ackwards desert hell hole. In 15 years, the same fight will still be raging some where within Islam against America, Jews and the West in general.
Bottom line- There is no such thing as a candidate for peace as all Presidents for the next 20 or more years will be at war with Islam. Sooner or later, someone is going to say I have had enough of this sh1t and nuke the bastards, all of them. This will coincide with oil deposits going dry.

You need to change your name, there's nothing Saintly about you. As a matter of fact you're the opposite. Figure's you're on the rip-off republican holier than thou side of things. Let me ask who from your family or friends would you send to Iraq to fight? Why aren't you there?

May 21, 2007, 6:49 p.m.From the artical:
"Lebanon's anti-Syrian government blamed Fatah Islam for a bus bombing in February in the Christian heartland northeast of Beirut that killed three people and say the group is merely a front for Syrian intelligence. The group has denied involvement in the bus bombing.
The dozen Palestinian refugee camps scattered in Lebanon are off limits to authorities and some are controlled by armed guerrillas and are havens for outlaws.
In April, a Lebanese soldier was killed in a shootout with Fatah Islam gunmen at the edge of Nahr el-Bared, a camp of 30,000 Palestinian refugees."
You get seven different groups pushing for power and control in the north that was controlled by Syria for the last thirty years. Fatah, Hezbollah Syrian, Palestinian refugees, the Lebanese army, al Qaeda is small fry in these waters.

May 21, 2007, 7:49 p.m.It sickens me to know the average citizen of Lebanon wants peace without outside interference but in the real world all sides within the global hemisphere seems to think they know whats best. Al Queda, Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, America, France and all others seem to think they must put their noses into another countries business while the average lebanonese attempts to regain authority for the improvement of its society.
All nations must stay out of its neighbors internal affairs unless the word, "help me" is vocalized by that nation. The U.N. must then accept responsibility to become the policeman and assist in abating the situtation. My country America seems to think we are the arbitors of all and should be involved in all domestic disputes to our detriment

May 21, 2007, 8:32 p.m.Here is a fact that is hard to dispute. Although most of us will agree that going into Iraq was a bad idea, most of the carnage has not been at the hands of the Americans. Democratic nations by nature take human life as something worthwhile and that's one reason why we use the term collateral damage. You never hear that term used by the waves of suicide bombers who walk into crowded market places and blow themselves up, taking untold numbers of innocents with them. For that matter, I've never heard a single Moslem group use the term collateral damage. The number of civilians killed by the American troops pales in comparison to the thousands killed monthly by the peaceful muslim sects.

May 21, 2007, 10:31 p.m.Looks like Iraq wasn't enough for these guys. They gotta screw up another country now.
Though, if you think about it, they're going from Afghanistan to Iraq to Lebanon. They're getting closer, slowly but surely.
Will we see camps in the continental US? Naah, that privilege is explicitly for the Jesus Camp freaks, isolationists, and the militias. Al Qaeda wouldn't even get a KOA campground spot unless they applied years ago.

May 21, 2007, 11:54 p.m.Hezbollah is a terrorist organization which is mainly Shiite and is partially funded by Iran. It has held between 10 to 20% of the Lebanese parliament for a while now. Even though it is not the majority, Hezbollah holds a lot of power by militia. t They are also trying to overthrough the democratic elected government. They have been firing rockets into Irael while the U.N. sits by and watches, doing nothing. They are a serious threat to the legit government there. They also openly have ties to other terrorist organiztion such as Al-Qaeda and many militant organizations.

May 22, 2007, 12:41 a.m.The reason Al Qaeda causes such a threat is because unlike wars of the past, you knew your enemy. In typical uniforms youknew their locations. Al qaeda is a multinational islamic radical world wide militia. your neighbor could be one, whether in the blurbs or slums. they have no borders nor waters to defend . They are an idea, and are a far more dangerous and penatraitable enemy than an outright confrontation. Being cowards who dont have any quams about killing innocent people and unarmed citizens. Its all about fear! This is what these world terrorists are all about. Thier cause is total worldwide domination through terror and manipulative Hitler type suppresion and cowardness. A murderous inialation of any nation who appose them and thier radical ISLAMIC beliefs. What do they do to lower our presence in their countries? They simply strap a bomb to their back,walk in the midst of us, or they load up their cars with TNT.
