The Muslims NOT our enemy...

In Response To: Important! Please read! (MACK!)

It is very important to understand that the Muslims as a religion and as a people are not our enemy. The PEOPLE of Afghanistan are not our enemy. The taliban and Bin Laden WANT us to attack ALL Muslims and they want us to attack the Afghani PEOPLE because they know if we do, that it will give them credit in saying that WE are the wrong ones and it will polarize the east/west Muslim/nonMuslim and it will give the Taliban and Bin Laden more followers.

The Taliban and Bin Laden have subjugated the Afghani people and destroyed their way of life. Now they are trying to destroy ours. It is VERY IMPORTANT to stop them before they can kill again and destroy more cultures.

But we must realize that it is that SPECIFIC group and all of its affiliates that are the enemy. NOT the Afghani or Muslim poeple as a whole. The Taliban and Bin Laden are already the enemy of the Muslims and Afghani people. They are not true Muslims (just like Hitler or a clansman is not a true Christian and does not reflect true Christian beliefs). They are a perverted version that uses religion in order to use the Muslims and Afghani people as pawns in their apocolytic "East vs West" end game.

Something MUST be done. We MUST act. But we need to understand these subtleties.

: I hope this gets a lot of the militants thinking...
: Posted as found on someone's personal web journal. Sorry,
: I don't know the complete source:
: ___________________________________

: Written by an Afghani in the U.S.

: I've been hearing a lot of talk about "bombing
: Afghanistan back to the Stone Age." Ron Owens, on
: KGO Talk Radio today, allowed that this would
: mean killing innocent people, people who had nothing to
: do with this atrocity, but "we're at war, we have
: to accept collateral damage. What else
: can we do?" Minutes later I heard some TV pundit
: discussing whether we "have the belly to do what
: must be done." And I thought about the issues
: being raised especially hard because I am from
: Afghanistan, and even though I've lived here for 35
: years I've never lost track of what's going on
: there. So I want to tell anyone who will listen how it
: all looks from where I'm standing.

: I speak as one who deeply hates the Taliban and Osama Bin
: Laden. My hatred comes from first hand experience.
: There is no doubt in my mind that
: these people were responsible for the atrocity in New
: York. I agree that something must be done about those
: monsters. But the Taliban and Ben
: Laden are not Afghanistan. They're not even the
: government of Afghanistan. The Taliban are a cult of
: ignorant psychotics who took over
: Afghanistan in 1997. Bin Laden is a political criminal
: with a plan. When you think Taliban, think Nazis. When
: you think Bin Laden,think Hitler. And
: when you think "the people of Afghanistan"
: think "the Jews in the concentration camps."
: It's not only that the Afghan people had nothing to do
: with this
: atrocity. They were the first victims of the
: perpetrators. They would exult if someone would come
: in there, take out the Taliban and clear out the
: rats nest of international thugs holed up in their
: country.

: Some say, why don't the Afghans rise up and overthrow the
: Taliban? The answer is, they're starved, exhausted,
: hurt, incapacitated, suffering. A few
: years ago, the United Nations estimated that there are
: 500,000 disabled orphans in Afghanistan--a country
: with no economy, no food. There are
: millions of widows. And the Taliban has been burying
: these
: widows alive in mass graves. The soil is littered with
: land mines, the farms were all destroyed by the
: Soviets. These are a few of the reasons why
: the Afghan people have not overthrown the Taliban.

: We come now to the question of "bombing Afghanistan
: back to the Stone Age". Trouble is, that's been
: done. The Soviets took care of it already.
: Make the Afghans suffer? They're already suffering. Level
: their houses? Done. Turn their schools into piles of
: rubble? Done. Eradicate their hospitals?
: Done. Destroy their infrastructure? Cut them off from
: medicine and health care? Too late. Someone already
: did all that. New bombs would only stir
: the rubble of earlier bombs. Would they at
: least get the Taliban? Not likely. In today's
: Afghanistan, only the Taliban eat, only they have the
: means to move around. They'd slip away and hide.

: Maybe the bombs would get some of those disabled orphans,
: they don't move too fast, they don't even have
: wheelchairs. But flying over Kabul
: and dropping bombs would not really be a strike against
: the criminals who did this horrific thing. Actually it
: would only be making common cause
: with the Taliban--by raping once again the people they've
: been raping all this time.

: So what else is there? What can be done, then? Let me now
: speak with true fear and trembling. The only way to
: get Bin Laden is to go in there with
: ground troops. When people speak of "having the
: belly to do what needs to be done" they're
: thinking in terms of having the belly to kill as many
: as
: needed. Having the belly to overcome any moral qualms
: about killing innocent people. Let's pull our heads
: out of the sand. What's actually on the
: table is Americans dying. And not just because some
: Americans would die fighting their way through
: Afghanistan to Bin Laden's hideout. It's much
: bigger than that folks.
: Because to get any troops to Afghanistan, we'd have to go
: through Pakistan. Would they let us? Not likely. The
: conquest of Pakistan would have to
: be first. Will other Muslim nations just stand by? You
: see where I'm going. We're flirting
: with a world war between Islam and the West.

: And guess what: that's Bin Laden's program. That's
: exactly what he wants. That's why he did this. Read
: his speeches and statements. It's all right
: there. He really believes Islam would beat the west. It
: might seem ridiculous, but he figures if he can
: polarize the world into Islam and the West, he's
: got a billion soldiers. If the west wreaks a holocaust in
: those lands, that's a billion people with nothing left
: to lose, that's even better from Bin
: Laden's point of view. He's probably
: wrong, in the end the West would win, whatever that would
: mean, but the war would last for years and millions
: would die, not just theirs but ours.
: Who has the belly for that?
: Unfortunately, Bin Laden does. Anyone else?

: In Peace,

: Tamim Ansary
