The Freeper and the Terrorist
Last night there was a thread posted: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x1488431

Iraq war supporters speak out
by John in DC - 6/22/2006 06:57:00 PM

One of them posted this in AMERICAblog comments today:

Lets face it, muslims are dirty, vile disgusting satan worshipers. The only thing they know is force. We must take all embedded reporters out of the front lines. finding those who killed the 2 American soldiers is simple. Drag 100 women and babies into the streets., kill one baby with a head shot, and say all will die if you do not tell us who killed these men., If nobody speaks up, torture the women and kill all babies , We must ask ourselves are these muslims really human, or just a disease upon the earth that should be eraddicated.

I have been thinking about this person's words all night and here is my answer to him/her.

Dear Freeper,

You asked yourself if 'these muslims are really human' and then answered that they are 'just a disease upon the earth'. The answer really is that they are just as human as you. You and the muslim terrorists, whom you find to be 'dirty, vile disgusting satan worshipers (sic)' are almost identical. In your mind and soul, like in theirs, one finds not an iota of compassion, empathy, humility, kindness, tolerance, nor justice. One only sees the hatred, aggression, violence, vitriol, vengeance, and ideology, attempting to hide the cowardliness and fear. This 'attitude' is the same that lead the Romans to crucify Jesus and persecute the early Christians. The same attitude that drove the 'christian' Crusaders to slaughter. The same attitude that caused the US Calvary to indiscriminately murder Native Americans. The same attitude that allowed 'good Germans' to support the Nazis' final solution.

It is the attitude of the fundamentalist believer and the totalitarian tyrant: if one differs in any way from 'me', the holder of the only truth, that person is deserving of death, both in this world and in the after one as well. It is a sad commentary that a portion of our species is still 'stuck' in the barbarianism of the dawn of mankind.

The ideals of the eighteenth century Enlightenment: justice, equality, liberty, tolerance, morality, and freedom, the very ones on which our once great country was founded, are being tramped into dust while the idiot in the White House declares he is 'spreading democracy' at the point of a gun.

One must, at least, give credit to the 'terrorist' who is so committed to his beliefs that he is willing to die for them; that he commits his acts in person. You sit safely at your computer, urging members of the US military to carry out your disgusting atrocities. You, like 98% of your fellow Americans, are happy to have 56 cents of every tax dollar go to building more weapons of death and destruction. You probably are not upset with the growing number of deaths and injuries suffered by our military since they are 'professional' soldiers and volunteered for the job.

It is not the 'terrorists' that will succeed in destroying the United States. It is you and this administration of war-mongers and heartless bastards, that are destroying it. Remember to your grave, that until George W. Bush decided to invade and occupy Iraq, not one American had ever been harmed by any Iraqi.

May you sleep well tonight.

2. It's not the religion. It's how much a person uses it to justify their
actions.

I know a Muslim who treats me like an equal.

I also know a Muslim who would kill me because of certain "preferences".

Just as I know Christians who are no different.

8. I used to wonder how people became Nazis; how they would follow...
facists. Never understood it at all.

Ever since Bush became president though, it's becoming clearer to me. I am shaken to my core by letters like that.

Excellent response.
