Well Dick, I apologize if I have left the impression that I am upset
over your offerings on this list. In fact, I enjoy what you post,
even when having different opinions on the subject.
After all, we can't expand our knowledge or change our opinions unless
we debate issues and cause some feeble activity between our ears.
I hope that any contributions I make to this list, and I blabber more
than I probably should, but I hope my contributions are thoughtful
enough to at least cause folks to question my sanity. So, in my
humble opinion Dick, you are a valued contributor to this list. And
that means, to my way of thinking, that anything you post is posted
for the purpose of stimulating conversation.

From the standpoint of a person who has vision but has worked with a
blind group for about 20 years I comment as follows:
(1) It is very difficult to prepare a comment for this group or any
group of blind people.
(2) No matter how narrowly defined or not narrowly defined it will
'antagonize or irritate' one or more of the contributors.

Richard and All,
My concern was that this was very selective, very narrow, very
specific examples of the never ending killing that seems to preoccupy
Mankind. One only need to glance at the evening news to learn that
war, killing, murder, violence and retaliation are the major items of
interest.
We serve no positive purpose by identifying our killers as all Muslim
Males. A similar list could be drawn up identifying young male Free
Irish. We might show that the colonists had no other choice but to
wipe out the pesky Red Savages, by naming a list of Indian Males who
went about killing our White Fathers...and Mothers.
Such lists are of no historical value. The basic thrust is to drive
wedges, to turn one group of people against another. We do not need
to tell our children that it was Muslims who were the violent
aggressors. Murder is rampant across the Planet, and growing faster
than a speeding bullet.
Out of historical curiosity, can you name an equal number of Muslim
men who stood for peace?
What about a list of Christian Men? One of peace defending Mexicans?
What about a list of brave peace loving Women? And could we find an
equal number of corporate CEO's who are promoting peace?
Good luck with that last one!

This type of historical information is indicative, in this case in my
opinion, that there had been a goodly bit of armed confrontation between
the so called Western World and the so called Eastern World and it would
appear that it is continuing on in this day and age. It does not mean
that one group is better than or worse than the other. It might indicate
that the wars fought did not settle anything on a permanent bases and it
my perhaps indicate the western world and the eastern world did not
learn anything from the armed conflicts noted.

This is the sort of "thinking" that assures us that there will always
be murder and torture. I mean, how could we, the Righteous
descendants of good, loving, Christian Europeans ever sit down with
those murderous, mindless Muslims? Despite having no blood on our God
Fearing hands, they come around taking what we've earned, fair and
square, slitting our throats in the deal,
Well, all of us who buy this crap are just as mean spirited and
underhanded and murderous as are those many Male Muslim Men.
I used to say that we were indeed a ship of fools. Now I have altered
that to say, a ship of murderous fools.
Shame on anyone who passes this biased drivel along.

Some historical information I found it to be very interesting and
informative.
**Ask any person, not your child between the ages of
18
and 25, if they ever heard of the Nuremburg Trials.
1
in
13 might say they have, but will not be able to tell
you
"what" was on trial (not who). Those same people
will
not be able to tell you the name of the Vice
President.
84% of those who receive this will not read it
completely, or at all. 10% will but will also chose
not
to forward it. The remaining 6% will forward it.****
**The war started in the 7th century and lasted
through
the 17th century. I would contend it never stopped
but
historically the facts below are correct.**
**This is why I choke when I hear someone say we
will
defeat or contain these Islamic terrorists in a few
years or even 30 years as recently stated by Leon
Panetta.**
**If the latest batch of murders, beheadings, and
killing of innocent Christians has shocked you,
maybe
you should read this compilation of historical facts
about the hatred of Muslims.**
**WE, THE STUPID****
**This is factually (and historically) correct - and
verifiable:**
**In 732 A.D. The Muslim Army, which was moving on
Paris, was defeated and turned back at Tours,
France,
by
Charles Martell.**
**In 1571 A.D. The Muslim Army/Navy was defeated by
the
Italians and Austrians as they tried to cross the
Mediterranean to attack southern Europe in the
Battle
of
Lepanto.**
**In 1683 A.D. The Turkish Muslim Army, attacking
Eastern Europe, was finally defeated in the Battle
of
Vienna by German and Polish Christian Armies.****
**This has been going on for 1,400 years and half of
the
politicians don't even know it.**
**If these battles had not been won, we might be
speaking Arabic and Christianity could be
non-existent;
Judaism certainly would not exist.**
**Reflecting: A lot of Americans have become so
insulated from reality that they imagine that
America
can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to
themselves. Pause a moment and reflect back.****
**These events are actual events from history. They
really happened!**
**Do you remember?**
**47 years since 1968 and this just keeps going on
and
on.**
**1. In 1968, Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by a
Muslim male.****
**2. In 1972, at the Munich Olympics, Israeli
athletes
were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim males.**
**3. In 1972, a Pan Am 747 was hijacked and
eventually
diverted to Cairo where a fuse was lit on final
approach. Shortly after landing it was blown up by
Muslim males.**
**4. In 1973, a Pan Am 707 was destroyed in Rome,
with
33 people killed, when it was attacked with grenades
by
Muslim males.**
**5. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over
by
Muslim males.**
**6. During the 1980's a number of Americans were
kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim males.**
**7. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was
blown
up by Muslim males.**
**8. In 1985, the cruise ship Achille Lauro was
hijacked
and a 70-year old American passenger was murdered
and
thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim
males.**
**9. In 1985, TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens,
and
a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was
murdered
by Muslim males.**
**10. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by
Muslim
males.**
**11. In 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed the
first time by Muslim males.**
**12. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and
Tanzania
were bombed by Muslim males.**
**13. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two
were
used as missiles to take down the World Trade
Centers
and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US
Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by
the
passengers. Thousands of people were killed by
Muslim
males.****
**14. In 2002, the United States fought a war in
Afghanistan against Muslim males.**
**15. In 2002, reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped
and
beheaded by - you guessed it - a Muslim male. (Plus
two
other American journalists who were just recently
beheaded).**
**16. In 2013, the Boston Marathon Bombing resulted
in
4
Innocent people, (including a child) being killed
and
264 people injured by Muslim males.**
**No Obama, I really don't see a pattern here to
justify
profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never
offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on
killing
us, airport security screeners will no longer be
allowed
to profile certain people.****
**So, ask yourself "Just how stupid are we???"****
**Absolutely No Profiling! They must conduct random
searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline
pilots with proper identification, secret agents who
are
members of the Obama's security detail, 85-year-old
Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor
winner
and former Governor Joe Foss, BUT...leave Muslim
Males
alone lest we be guilty of profiling.****
**Ask yourself, "Just how stupid are we?" Have the
American people completely lost their minds or just
their Power of Reason???**
**As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest
Gump" so aptly put it, "Stupid Is As Stupid Does."**
