Ok guys SAIID asks kindly....enough...:please:
Take it from one with a mother born and raised here and a father born and raised in Syria not all are bad...!
There are more Muslims in the world than Christians by far not all are bad...
The folks we hate and make fun of now were our allies 20 plus yrs ago.
I know....been there done that.
Saddam was once our greatest ally in the Mid East cuz we were busy with Iran at the time.
Now hes gone by our choosing..
Todays enemy is tomorrows friend and yesterdays friend is tomorrows enemy so please be careful what you say because we may need them again.
And by 'them' I mean anyone we may be so immature to make fun of...

I dont believe many of you can name a place I have not visited and please dont take this wrong but up until the point when we decided to become interested in everyone elses biz you could go just about anywhere as an American.
There are places 10min from here I would not go to , just like there are places in Iraq and Afg I would not go to but just because one area is bad does not make the whole rotten.
Do you throw an apple away because it has a rotten spot on it or cut out the rotten spot and eat the rest. is the rest not good ?
Well so are the majority of folks out there .

This post is being brought to you by a person born in NC rasied in TN, lived all over the world and seen many things.
I am a Christian by faith and do not support or condone the attacking of any innocents by anyone no matter what side they are on.
I dont support or secretly rejoice when Al Qaeda attacks.
I dont support or agree with things said by OBL but if looked at it as a whole I can understand their hatred.
Again if you intend to beat someone you have to understand them and how they think. No diff than a game of chess.
You have to know and understand your enemy before you can beat him.
As an AMERICAN ARAB, I could care less if the whole Middle East ignites tonight because it will not effect my life in the least, not one bit.
CNN may have you believe it matters but it doesnt.
We get less than 15% of the oil consumed in this country from the Middle East and we could easily do without it and all the probs it has brought upon us.
Time to let rot whatever is gonna rot wherever it is gonna rot and bring our boys home. Days go by and Adam gets lder I can tell you he will not be fighting in a foreign land for some idiots personal gain.
Real need , real threats like WWII he and I will be frontline defending Liberty.

Anyone who still thinks the Gulf War happened because Saddam invaded Kuwait does not know the term 'Petrodollar' or 'PetroEuro' .
Read the transcripts obtained thru FOIA relating to the US Ambassador to Iraq April Gladspie and the soon to be Gulf War.
She was there not 6mos before Saddam invaded Kuwait and listened to all his concerns.
Her words exactly as she was instructed to say were 'The USA will not get involved in any Arab to Arab conflicts' reading between the lines meant leave Israel alone and we dont care.
We clearly baited him in order to gain a solid permanent military presence in that part of the world.

Yes there is a radical and growing influence in the Middle Eastern world but with things like this seen by 'them' it can only fuel the fire..

Just like gun crime. You only see and hear about the one bad guy and not the one million good guys..
Unfortunately we have been in the Middle East so long that it has bred a generation of distrust and an ever growing amount of hate on our part toward those that just 'look bad'.

First it was the Redskins(Native Americans)
Then it was the Blackskins(Africans)
Then it was the Yellow skins(Japanese)
Now it is the Towelheads !

Will there ever be a point in time when we as Americans dont hate anyone ?
Amazing I was in approx 4 countires in the last 90 days and I never heard or saw any sign of anyone making any fun of anyone else while there.
Why do we have to do it here ?

Before you all tell me to go fly a kite allow me to say America is the greatest nation the earth has ever seen. I have served this country in a non-mil fashion for yrs by supplying our guys with the finest things I could find.
We have accomplished in 250yrs what others did not in 5000 , but as such a young nation we need to know there are many ups and downs to come.
I would not leave the USA for anything instead I will stay and fight to change it.

The topic of the thread is funny and I can laugh at it with an open mind.
Arab jokes are some of the funniest out there I agree.
Believe me after 39yrs I have learned to just let it go.

Please dont fall into the new era of racism regarding folks of another color or because of how they look.
Do you want your children to grow up with hatred or love inside them ?
We are all strange to folks who are strangers to us.

Just a public service announcement by someone who cares and has friends in 50 countries from 100s of nationalities.

This was not a racist post. For the millions of Muslims who live in peace in this world and respect other people's religious view and who don't go JIHAD! I hope they continue to live in peace and I wish them no harm. But I've seen what the Taliban, and those who are perverting their religion do, to 'unbelievers', to women and children, and to the innocent, so I hope we kill every one of them.
 
I agree all the bad ones need to go.
I know it was just a joke and I find some of them pretty funny.
I take no offense from it.
I am just a fast typer and a quick thinker.
I just know where threads can go and I just wanted to slow it down a bit.
No problem with the joke or the thread itself.

It is just that times like this I like to fall back on my Arab heritage and separate myself so I dont get lumped into the same group of fat dumb Americans that you are like OWENS231 said...:rofl:

CNN News Bulletin

At a hastily called press conference this morning, Taliban Minister of Immigration, Mohammed Omar, warned the United States that if any further military action was taken against Afghanistan, Taliban authorities would not hesitate to cut off America's supply of convenience store managers.
************************************************** ******************************************
Solution to the problem:

Killing Osama bin Laden will only create a martyr. Holding him prisoner will only inspire his comrades to take hostages to demand his release. Therefore, we should do neither.

Let the Special Forces, Seals, Green Berets, etc., covertly capture him, fly him to an undisclosed hospital and have surgeons quickly perform a complete sex change operation. Then return "her" to Afghanistan to live as a woman under the Taliban.

Three guys
Three guys, a Canadian, Osama Bin Laden and Uncle Sam are out walking together one day. They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it.

"I will give each of you each one wish, that's three wishes total," says the Genie.

The Canadian says, "I am a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada." With a blink of the Genie's eye, 'POOF' the land in Canada was forever made fertile for farming.

Osama Bin Laden was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around Afghanistan, so that no infidels, Jews or Americans can come into our precious state." Again, with a blink of the Genie's eye, 'POOF' there was a huge wall around Afghanistan.

"Uncle Sam" (A former civil engineer), asks, "I'm very curious. Please tell me more about this wall." The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 15,000 feet high, 500 feet thick and completely surrounds the country; nothing can get in or out---virtually impenetrable."

"Uncle Sam" says, "Fill it with water."

Letter from the citizens of the USA
Dear Osama Bin Laden, Yasser Arafat, and Sadam Hussein, et. al.,

We are pleased to announce that we unequivocally accept your challenge to an old-fashioned game of whoop-ass. Now that we understand the rule that there are no rules, we look forward to playing by them for the first time. Since this game is a winner-take-all, we unfortunately are unable to invite you to join us at the victory celebration. But rest assured that we will toast you -- LITERALLY. While we will admit that you are off to an impressive lead, it is however now our turn at the plate.

By the way, we will be playing on your court now.

Batter up.

Sincerely,

The 270,000,000 citizens of the United States of America

First Annual Kabul Air Show Scheduled (AP)
Kabul, Afghanistan 17:52 GMT - Sept. 25, 2001

Citizens of Afghanistan are reportedly looking forward with great anticipation to reports of an international air show to be held in the skies over their nation.

An unnamed official informed us that "Now the rest of the world will look upon our beloved city with great honor just as they do Farnborough, England and Paris, France", referring to the sites of two other famous international air shows.

The exact date and time of the upcoming Kabul International Air Show has not yet been announced. It is believed that event organizers feel that such an announcement would detract from the fun of the celebration by, "spoiling the surprise".

Unlike most air shows the Kabul Air Show will feature almost no static ground displays but will have an unusually high number of aerial demonstrations and fly-bys. "We are most pleased by this feature of our air show. Instead of a lot of different kinds of airplanes just sitting around on the tarmac, the aircraft attending our show will actually be up in the air demonstrating what they do best!" we were told.

Participation will probably be heaviest by aircraft of the United States Air Force and Marine Corps. Including appearances by F-15's, F-16's, A-10's, B-52's and Apache helicopters. It is rumored that opening ceremonies will feature a tomahawk-cruise fireworks display. A few B-2's, and F-117A's may also help out in some unseen capacity.

Several other counties have expressed an interest in sending representatives. These include all nineteen nations in the NATO alliance as well as Australia. The excitement generated for this gala event has even prompted the Israeli Air Force to apply for participation.

Of course, no one is more excited than the Afghan people themselves. Great numbers of them are in the streets of Kabul looking constantly heavenward in gratitude for the historic event, which will soon take place in their skies. It has been observed that some are so concerned about missing the show that even as they bow to the East they keep snatching worried glances towards the West. Thousands, in fact, have been seen leaving the city and fleeing to the mountains carrying food and blankets - obviously anxious to get a good vantage point for the air show, and to make a picnic of it.

American Women...Do Your Part To Help! Stand Up, Be Seen!

We need to get this message out. Please forward, America needs your help!

The President has asked that we unite for a common cause. Since the hard line Islamic people cannot stand nudity, and consider it a sin to see a naked woman that is not their wife, tonight at 7:00 pm, all women should run out of their house naked to help weed out the terrorists.

The United States appreciates your efforts, and applauds you.

God bless America.

An Open Letter to Terrorists:
Well, you hit the World Trade Center, but you missed America.



You hit the Pentagon, but you missed America.

You used helpless American bodies, to take out other American bodies, but like a poor marksman, you STILL missed America.

Why?



Because of something you guys will never understand.



America isn't about a building or two, not about financial centers, not about military centers, America isn't about a place, America isn't even about a bunch of bodies.

America is about an IDEA.

An idea, that you can go someplace where you can earn as much as you can figure out how to, live for the most part, like you envisioned living, and pursue Happiness. (No guarantees that you'll reach it, but you can sure try!).

Go ahead and whine your terrorist whine, and chant your terrorist litany:

"If you can not see my point, then feel my pain."

This concept is alien to Americans.

We live in a country where we don't have to see your point.

But you're free to have one.

We don't have to listen to your speech.

But you're free to SAY one.

Don't know where you got the strange idea that everyone has to agree with you.

We don't agree with each other in this country, almost as a matter of pride.

We're a collection of guys that don't agree, called States.

We united our individual states to protect ourselves from tyranny in the world.

Another idea, we made up on the spot.

You CAN make it up as you go, when it's your country.

You guys seem to be incapable of understanding that we don't live in America, America lives in US!

American spirit is what it's called.

And killing a few thousand of us, or a few million of us, won't change it.

Most of the time, it's a pretty happy-go-lucky kind of Spirit.

Until we're crossed in a cowardly manner, then it becomes an entirely different kind of Spirit.

Wait until you see what we do with that Spirit, this time.

Sleep tight, if you can.

We're coming.....

I have a moral question for you. This is an imaginary situation, but I think it is fun to decide what one would do. The situation: You are in the Middle East, and there is a huge flood in progress. Many homes have been lost, water supplies compromised and structures destroyed. Let's say that you're a photographer and getting still photos for a news service, traveling alone, looking for particularly poignant scenes. You come across Osama bin Laden who has been swept away by the floodwaters. He is barely hanging on to a tree limb and is about to go under. You can either put down your camera and save him, or take a Pulitzer Prize winning photograph of him as he loses his grip on the limb. So, here's the question and think carefully before you answer the question below:

Oink if you like foreign policy!

An Israeli friend recently informed me that the UK fought the Islamic terrorist attacks by burying the criminals with a pig. Apparently the Islamic belief is that if ones' body is buried with a pig (because they are considered unclean) their soul will go to hell. I did a little research into this subject matter and found it to be true. This got me thinking.

If we put a baby pig on every airline flight then all suicide terrorists would abort their missions as they would not want their souls to go to hell.

Additionally, if we drop shipped, oh say, 100,000 pigs into Afghanistan I think our recon and assault efforts may be more successful. Apparently Muslims dislike the very site of pigs A LOT!

They are also adamantly opposed to alcohol, thus we spike their water supply with a few thousand gallons of moonshine, get them **** faced and turn the pigs loose. The war would be over in a weekend.

Just a thought.

The son is so excited at the beautiful park and monuments and asks his Dad: "What are these monuments for?"

The father replies: "This park is dedicated to honour the Twin Towers and the memory of the people of New York."

"What are the Twin Towers?" asks the son.

Dad replies: "They were two very large 110 story buildings which stood here nearly 30 years until Arab Terrorists destroyed them."

"Dad, what is an arab?"

Why do we say of something we don't believe, "tell it to the Marines?" (answer below) - (not a joke)

A tough leatherneck librarian smiles sweetly while cataloging a new **** and bull story before adding it to the archives. "Gosh darn it," the Marine swears, dropping his pencil. Taken literally, this expression makes the Marines a tall- tale repository. I don't think so. An often-cited origin has the original phrase as "tell it to the horse marines." Since marines are usually soldiers that embark from a ship, they're not likely to be "horse" marines and by extension, the story that should be told to them also does not jibe with the facts. It's also thought that marines, who used ships but only to get to where they were going, were held in contempt by sailors, who lived on the vessels fulltime. They considered marines to be green and gullible, ready to believe any fanciful story. To have some fun, they would tell one to the marines.

Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this!!!!

**I was listening to the radio the other day, and I heard one of the all-time best comeback lines in my life. Note: This is an exact replication of National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster, and US Army General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy Scout Troop visiting his military installation.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?"

GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery, and shooting."

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?"

GENERAL REINWALD: "I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range."

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?"

GENERAL REINWALD: "I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm."

FEMALE INTERVIEWER: "But you're equipping them to become violent killers."

GENERAL REINWALD: "Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you? "

The radio went silent and the interview ended. And all I could think was, "Go Army!"

Osama Bin Laden, your time is short;
We'd rather you die, than come to court.
Why are you hiding if it was in God's name?
You're just a punk with a turban; a pathetic shame.

I have a question, about your theory and laws;
"How come you never die for the cause?"
Is it because you're a coward who counts on others?
Well, here in America, we stand by our brothers.

As is usual, you failed in your mission;
If you expected pure chaos, you can keep on wishin'
Americans are now focused and stronger than ever;
Your death has become our next endeavor.

What you tried to kill, doesn't live in our walls;
It's not in buildings or shopping malls.
If all of our structures came crashing down;
It would still be there, safe and sound.

Because pride and courage can't be destroyed;
Even if the towers leave a deep void.
We'll band together and fill the holes
We'll bury our dead and bless their souls.

But then our energy will focus on you;
And you'll feel the wrath of the Red, White and Blue.
So slither and hide like a snake in the grass;
Because America's coming to kick your ass!!!
