Do not confuse intelligence for compassion. I have no compassion towards any of the peope that did this. I am saying that if ignorant people like you were in charge, there would be chaos everywhere. People like you feel that nukes are the answer to everything.

that's so sad about the firefighters that died.. they showed an interview of a firefighter that was about to go back into the rubble after the first building had collapsed.. it went something like "are you concerned that the second building may fall down soon?.. yeah, deffinately.. but I have buddies in there and I have to go back for them".. he prolly got killed by the second collapse

Generalizations don't hold all the truth though. Using a generalization to support an opinion is a very weak argument.

Generalizations are exactly that. By definition, they arent all inclusive, but ARE based largely on facts and hold true for the majority, else they wouldnt be generalizations.

Yes, im in agreement.

I think it is appropriate to include the Muslim Student Association of NCSU's statement on the events that occurred today here:

Quote :
"Muslim Students Association Stance on New York

In light of the tragic events that took place today, Tuesday, September 11, the Muslim Students Association (MSA) at NC State would like to condemn in the strongest possible way the unjustifiable, immoral and senseless acts of terrorism that occurred in New York City and Washington, D.C. The MSA would like to emphasize that while the nation looks to the masterminds behind the attacks, one must not jump to conclusions and start finger-pointing without sound evidence. At this moment, the nation is in a state of complete chaos with airports shut down all across the nation and all attention focused on the cities at the brunt of the attack. It is only natural to want to blame someone or some group for this horrendous attack. However, one must keep in mind at the time of the Oklahoma City bombing people initially did believe that it was carried out by some sort of supposed 'Muslim terrorists' and later it was discovered that instead the attack was carried out by an 'American terrorist.'

In light of the Muslim Holy book (Qur'aan) and the saying of our Prophet, Mohamed (peace be upon him), the act of inciting terror in the hearts of defenseless civilians, the wholesale destruction of buildings and properties, the bombing and maiming of innocent men, women, and children are all forbidden and detestable acts. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness.

The MSA therefore pleads with the students of this university not to jump to conclusions about the perpetrators of the attacks that took place today and to instead wait until solid evidence can be found. As an NCSU student organization, we deplore senseless violence in any form, and we fully support all efforts to track down the individuals responsible for these atrocities and bringing them to justice. As true Muslims, We would like to extend our hearts, thoughts, and prayers to the families who have lost loved ones on this terrible day.

We must conclude by saying that whether peace or war, acts of terrorism are not only condemned in Islam but are also pointedly declared alien to the teachings of Islam which in fact means peace through the submission to the Will of God, the Lord of all human beings.


MSA Executive Committee

Republican...CORRECTION! It is not ALL arabs. It is a few select Arabs that seem to have nothing better to do with their day. I know many people of Arab distinction that take pride in the United States and feel extraordinarily bad about what their antionality is suspected of doing today.

Thank you.

Well shit man, how else do you explain the fact that for every terrorist attack initiated by a non-Arab, Republican18 (and anyone else up on their world history) can list about ten other Arab terrorist attacks? Again, here is a wise little quote:

I think he's trying to say that 99% of terrorists are arabs. But 99% of Arabs are NOT terrorists.

Yeah, you guys seem a little confused. It is a stone cold FACT that MOST terrorist attacks are initiated by Arabs. Period. Don't try to argue with it. No one is saying that ALL ARABS ARE TERRORISTS, we are simply saying that most terrorists are Arabs. We're all in college, aren't we? Can't you mofos differentiate between those two statements?

Dude, you are not using good logic...

"terrorist=arabs"

ok...this is a conditional statement...

If you are a terrorist then you are an arab.

Ok, if you can come up with a counterexample then the conditional is not valid.
oh and with a counterexample you have to keep the hypothesis(if you are a terrorist) true

so Tim McVeigh is my counterexample to your fuzzy logic...

and don't try to refute me...I am a mathmatician

"OK, you tell me not to generalize about the rag heads...and that they are not all bad. Why then is it that in the gaza strip right now those bastards are out celebrating chanting "praise allah" Fuck allah up his rag head ass."

Tim McV is one incident. Arabs are MANY. Besides most INTERNATIONAL terror has been by arabs, quit defending them. All arabs are not terrorists, most terrorists are arabs

There are plenty of terrorist groups in South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa that have nothing to do with being Islamic.

"most terrorists are arabs"

the ONLY way this can be verified is if an all-inclusive list of terrorist activities, say, in the last 1,000 years, is drawn up, no matter where the activities took place, and it is found that the majority are arabs. to my knowledge, i have seen no such list by any of the proponents of the assertion yet.

Yes Marko, no one is denying that. But those groups also arent repeatidly commiting acts against the US.
Nor do they have the intense hatred for us that most middle eastern countries do.
In fact, name any other country that has declared a "holy war", or hell, just plain "war" against the USA (currently)?

Trap, what happened 1 thousand years ago is of no consequence to us now. Most, if not all, of the countries
involved now didnt exist a thousand years ago. Draw up a list of all the acts of terrorism committed against
the United States
and see where the majority lies.....
