Wake up America

[Bob]

Just stand up! Ya gotta stand up, cause it's hard work. You don't just cut and run. You're either for us or against us. I believe people want to be free, and even if there's no WMD or ties to Al Qaeda, Iraq is a better place without Saddam.

I like it! So, you have a 2 million hit/month soapbox-what do we do to fix the problems

If more of us would be involved in the inner workings of the political process it would be a helpful start. People have more interest in American Idol than what is happening to our country. I get upset when people begin their Republican/Democrat standoff. I see a bunch of crooks destroying a great country. THEY ARE THE SAME! How do we fix the problems???? Good question. Maybe we start by understanding what the problem is (Corrupt politicians)!

Tootsie, I think you would not like the message, but sometimes you have to step back from it emotionally, and try to debate the subject, thereby teaching and learning simultaneously. ;-)

Pretty powerful video. Kinda corny and I am sure it will rub some wrong but it does make you wonder. I have been lurking for years and felt compelled to post this.

You're absolutely right SJ.

Although the message IMO is extreme, and whether or not some of the "facts" are propaganda, people need to be aware that we are living in a different world now.
Some don't even realize that these terrorist cells are right in their own backyard. Just about a year ago, a local 7-11 was closed and the owner arrested due to ties with Al-Quaida, a place that I occasionally stopped in for coffee, but felt the hatred by the Indian proprietors and never went back to. I don't live in the city, but in the burbs.

The messge Jellybean posted may seem extreme, but don't think for one minute that Muslim extremists do not have an agenda here and worldwide.

If Jellybeans thread makes people just a little more aware to take action of suspicious activity, but doesn't encourage hatred of Muslims, then the post may have accomplished something.

Mango, you honestly think we can't change the hearts and minds of the 'death to America and her allies' crowd over vegan cookies and hot tea?

I'm confused what you're trying to say Skunky?
From the earlier posts, you said you didn't watch the video.

Don't mean to confuse. I am just being a little sarcastic as some folks think we can sing campfire songs and get along with those that would love to put a bullet in each of our heads.

I think we should get in on with everyone who wants to put a bullet in our head. I know all Iranians want to put bullets through all American's heads. That's a lot of bullets!! Iran, you are next! It's time to get in on baby! Or is it "bring it on", then "we get it on"!

Oh, now give the Iranians more credit than that;they invented math after all. They don't need to run the numbers too much to figure out a nice little nuclear (nuke-you-lur if you wish) device would be much more efficient at wiping out a bunch of Americans (or heck, most of Israel). You're probably right, the same folks who just hosted the international Holocaust debunking summit are probably lovable and misunderstood, and ready to sit down with us and iron out our differences. I am not too worried though, the UN is about to get really tough on Iran:roll:

Were you talking about my post? because I was not suggesting we sing Kumbaya with Muslim Extremists? Jellybeans link states initially that 10% of the Muslim population are extremists/jihadists (whatever you want to call them)
From my past research, as far as Muslims are concerned, only 18% of the world population are Arabs. (I did do some research post 9-11 after losing close friends in Tower 2 and the Pentagon)

Jellybean did post a disclaimer of sorts that the link could rub some people the wrong way, but that it would make you wonder.
I feel that she may have been attacked a little too harshly. She didn't say it was her philosophy or believed everything in the link.

I don't hate Arabs or Muslims who are seeking to live peaceful lives, but I am not naive, and realize some of that 10% extremist population are sending their students to our schools to study etc. and living amongst us posing in our society.

All I was inferring was people should be more aware of their surroundings for the sake of our national security, hatred aside for an entire Muslim population.

Mango-I agree 100% with you. Sorry for the confusion. The Kumbaya choir is starting to make itself known. Oh, by the way, God help us if 10% are bad apples because that translates into who knows how many millions of nuts that need to be watched
