Islamic websites call for revenge after Iraqi prisoner abuse
DUBAI (AFP) - Islamic websites were being flooded with reports on the abuse of Iraqi prisoners by US guards, with many people calling for revenge against the "new Crusaders."

"The Crusaders are back. Where are you Saladin?" asked Khaled Hammam from Chechnya on the site www.al-ansar.biz, in reference to the 12th century Iraqi Kurdish warrior who defeated Europe's Christian invaders.

Internet sites continued to reproduce graphic pictures of prisoners shown naked and in humiliating positions at the Abu Ghraib prison near Baghdad which were first published April 28 by CBS television.

The pictures are shown with fiery remarks calling for "cleansing the honor" of Muslims.

"The new conservatives, and particularly the gang of (US President George W.) Bush, are enjoying the humiliation of the Muslims," wrote Kuwaiti Islamist Sheikh Hamed ben Abdallah al-Ali on www.qal3ah.net.

1. And some conservatives say ignore it
The soldiers who did this aided and abetted terror, imho, because they have made a bad situation worse.

The weird thing is, I wonder how much of this was the soldier's idea, and how much someone else's. My husband used to work with a Guardsman who was an MP. Before he was shipped out, he talked of getting over there and spraying the 'ragheads' with pig blood-something that would be highly offensive to Muslims (or Jews, for that matter-he was an equal opportunity hater). I hope he got his terrible notions from his own prejudiced upbringing and not from Army training.

BTW, one might wonder why Southern Baptists allow themselves to be led by such fanatics, too.

4. Well here's one
Islam is not led by such fanatics, they are the only ones you see through your blinkers. Islam has no formal structure.

As for outrage after 9/11 you're once again not listening.

How many Muslims do you know by the way?

7. If you heard no outrage from the "muslim" community after 9/11
you probably had your fingers in your ears while singing "LALALLALALAL, I'M NOT LISTENING, I'M NOT LISTENING..."

22. Jefferson said
"(When) the (Virginia) bill for establishing religious freedom... was
finally passed,... a singular proposition proved that its protection
of opinion was meant to be universal. Where the preamble
declares that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy
author of our religion, an amendment was proposed, by inserting
the word "Jesus Christ," so that it should read "a departure from
the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion." The
insertion was rejected by a great majority, in proof that they
meant to comprehend within the mantle of its protection the Jew
and the Gentile, the Christian and Mahometan, the Hindoo and
infidel of every denomination." --Thomas Jefferson:
Autobiography, 1821. ME 1:67

23. And to think Jefferson didn't know the coercive power of an AC130's guns
Too bad we didn't stick to that plan.
