From the National Review online:
A letter written by Ed Koch, on September 21, to the New York Times. I don't know whether the Times has published it — I'm not keeping up with the Times much these days.
To the editor:
In today's article reporting the decapitation by terrorists in Iraq of American civilian Eugene Armstrong, the Times reporter wrote, "In the video of the beheading, an insurgent wearing a ski mask and surrounded by four men with assault rifles says the group is killing Mr. Armstrong because the American occupiers and the interim Iraqi government failed to meet the deadline. Much of the man's long speech is addressed to President Bush, who is called a dog at one point."
Please note that the news article omitted an important part of the story, which was the exact phrase uttered by the executioner at the time he cut Armstrong's throat and severed his head from his body. That phrase was, "Oh, you Christian dog, Bush, stop your arrogance."
The reference to President Bush by the terrorist strengthens the belief of many that we are involved in a war of civilizations. Fanatic Islamists believe that Christians and Jews who do not recognize the supremacy of Islam should die. That awful message is part of the story, and the Times erred in not carrying that quote, which many other papers did.
Lee Hamilton, co-chairman of the 9/11 commission, has said in describing Muslim terrorists, "They want to kill us." Why? Because those making up Western civilization and its ideas — which jihad is bent on destroying — are overwhelmingly Christians and Jews. I believe it is President Bush's faith that gives him the strength to stay with and implement the Bush Doctrine, which is, "We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them."
Your reporter refers to the spokesman for the murderers as an "insurgent." What would it take for the Times to call someone who has just participated in the beheading of an innocent civilian a terrorist? I am sure the public would like to know.
Nice goin', Mayor.
Questions: Any question who the terrorists support for POTUS?
How long before the Christians and Jews of the world wake-up and understand the true nature of our enemy in fanatical Islam?
WAKE UP PEOPLE, WAKE UP. |

Good post. Once I was sent this internet site

Winston Churchill: "The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men."
What do women not understand about the objectives of the fanatical Islamic terrorists? |

What does EVERYONE not understand about the objectives of the Islamofascists?
Blind,blind,blind.
How hard is it to understand the truth of this war? Probably because the OIM will not report things like al Zarqawi saying the Islamofascists must defeat the American infidels because they come "bearing the banner of the cross" and so they must be killed. In his "message for President Bush" he went on to mockingly describe how the Islamofascists "love death the way you Americans love life, and so we embrace death."
Perhaps evil has filled the breach because for far too long Christians have not been bearing any banner. Our days of comfortable apathy may be in the past, ladies and gentlemen. |

I'm not especially religious, but if Satan has a face in the world today, it is that of either OBL or al-Zarqawi! |

Just a technical point, but to be called an insurgent in Iraq, shouldn't one have to be an Iraqi? Committing terrorist acts against somebody else's government, not to mention their civilians, is not an insurgency. If you don't have the guts to call them terrorists, call them disgruntled tourists. But quit dismantling the friggin' language to spare our delicate sensibilities! _________________ It's downright brilliant the way he's reserving his devastating intellect to spring it on us at exactly the right moment. |
