Þú angrar mig !

 

 

Mér barst í hendur bréf frá Kanada með þessum skilaboðum frá bandarískum flugstjóra. Hann lýsir því hversvegna við vesturlandabúar  tortryggjum Múslíma. Hann krefst þess að þeir sýni meira en varaþjónustu við fósturlönd sín þegar hermdarverk eru annarsstaðar. Hann vill sjá Múslímana veifa þjóðfánum fósturlandsins og biðja Allah um að blessa það í bænum sínum. Hann segist ekki treysta þeim fyrr en þeir sýni þetta í verki. 

Hefur hann ekki nokkuð til síns máls ? Getur þetta lið hegðað sér eins og því sýnist í þeim löndum sem það þröngvar sér upp á? Biður þá nokkurt land um að koma ? Óskar nokkur eftir innflytjendum sem ekki vilja gerast þegnar landsins af fullu og öllu ? 

 

This pilot 'hit the nail' right on the head in his open letter.

 

The paper stated today that some Muslim doctor is saying we are profiling him because he has been checked three times while getting on an airplane. 

 

The following is a letter from a pilot. This well spoken man, who is a pilot with American Airlines, says what is in his heart, beautifully.... Read, absorb and pass this on. 

 

'YOU WORRY ME!'  By American Airlines Pilot - Captain John Maniscalco 

I've been trying to say this since 911, but you worry me.  I wish you didn't.  I wish when I walked down the streets of this country that I love, that your color and culture still blended with the beautiful human landscape we enjoy in this country.  But you don't blend in anymore.  I notice you, and it worries me. 

I notice you because I can't help it anymore. 

People from your homelands, professing to be Muslims, have been attacking and killing my fellow citizens and our friends for more than 20 years now.  I don't fully understand their grievances and hate, but I know that nothing can justify the inhumanity of their attacks. 

On September 11, ARAB-MUSLIMS hijacked four jetliners in my country.  They cut the throats of women in front of children and brutally stabbed to death others. They took control of those planes and crashed them into buildings killing thousands of proud fathers, loving sons, wise grandparents, elegant daughters, best friends, favorite coaches, fearless public servants, and children's mothers. 

The Palestinians celebrated, the Iraqis were overjoyed as was most of the Arab world.  So, I notice you now. I don't want to be worried.  I don't want to be consumed by the same rage and hate and prejudice that has destroyed the soul of these terrorists  But I need your help.  As a rational American, trying to protect my country and family in an irrational and unsafe world, I must know how to tell the difference between you, and the Arab/Muslim terrorist. 

How do I differentiate between the true Arab/Muslim Americans and the Arab/Muslim terrorists in our communities who are attending our schools, enjoying our parks, and living in OUR communities under the protection of OUR constitution, while they plot the next attack that will slaughter these same good neighbors and children? 

The events of September 11th changed the answer.  It is not my responsibility to determine which of you embraces our great country, with ALL of its religions, with ALL of its different citizens, with all of its faults.  It is time for every Arab/Muslim in this country to determine it for me. 

I want to know, I demand to know, and I have a right to know, whether or not you love America .  Do you pledge allegiance to its flag?  Do you proudly display it in front of your house, or on your car?  Do you pray in your many daily prayers that Allah will bless this nation, that He will protect and prosper it?  Or do you pray that Allah with destroy it in one of your Jihad's? Are you thankful for the freedom that only this nation affords?  A freedom that was paid for by the blood of hundreds of thousands of patriots who gave their lives for this country?  Are you willing to pr eserve this freedom by also paying the ultimate sacrifice?  Do you love America ?  If this is your commitment, then I need YOU to start letting ME know about it. 

Your Muslim leaders in this nation should be flooding the media at this time with hard facts on your faith, and what hard actions you are taking as a community and as a religion to protect the United States of America .  Please, no more benign overtures of regret for the death of the innocent because I worry about who you regard as innocent. No more benign overtures of condemnation for the unprovoked attacks because I worry about what is unprovoked to you.  I am not interested in any more sympathy.  I am only interested in action.  What will you do for America - our great country - at this time of crisis, at this time of war? 

I want to see Arab-Muslims waving the AMERICAN flag in the streets.  I want to hear you chanting 'Allah Bless America '  I want to see young Arab/Muslim men enlisting in the military. I want to see a commitment of money, time, and emotion to 
the victims of this butchering and to this nation as a whole.  

The FBI has a list of over 400 people they want to talk to regarding the WTC attack. Many of these people live and socialize right now in Muslim communities. You know them. You know where they are. Hand them over to us, now! But I have seen little even approaching this sort of action.  Instead I have seen an already closed and secretive community close even tighter. You have disappeared from the streets. You have posted armed security guards at your facilities.  You have threatened lawsuits. You have screamed for protection from reprisals. 

The very few Arab/Muslim representatives that HAVE appeared in the media were defensive and equivocating.  They seemed more concerned with making sure that the United States proves who was responsible before taking action.  They seemed more concerned with protecting their fellow Muslims from violence directed towards them in the United States and abroad than they did with supporting our country and denouncing 'leaders' like Khadafi, Hussein, Farrakhan, and Arafat.   

If the true teachings of Islam proclaim tolerance and peace and love for all people, then I want chapter and verse from the Koran and statements from popular Muslim leaders to back it up.  What good is it if the teachings in the Koran are good, and pure, and true, when your 'leaders' are teaching fanatical interpretations, terrorism, and intolerance?  It matters little how good Islam SHOULD BE if huge numbers of the world's Muslims interpret the teachings of Mohammed incorrectly and adhere to a degenerative form of the religion..  A form that has been demonstrated to us over and over again.  A form whose structure is built upon a foundation of violence, death, and suicide.  A form whose members are recruited from the prisons around the world.  A form whose members (some as young as five years old) are seen day after day, week in and week out, year after year, marching in the streets around the 
world, burning effigies of our presidents, burning the American flag, shooting weapons into the air.  A form whose members convert from a peaceful religion, only to take up arms against the great United States of America, the country of their birth.  A form whose rules are so twisted, that their traveling members refuse to show their faces at airport security checkpoints, in the name of Islam. 

 

We will NEVER allow the attacks of September 11, or any others for that matter, to take away that which is so precious to us:  Our rights under the greatest constitution in the world.  I want to know where every Arab Muslim in this country stands and I think it is my right and the right of every true citizen of this country to demand it.  A right paid for by the blood of thousands of my brothers and sisters who died protecting the very constitution that is protecting you and your family. 

I am pleading with you to let me know.  I want you here as my brother, my neighbor, my friend, as a fellow American. 

But there can be no gray areas or ambivalence regarding your allegiance, and it is up to YOU, to show ME, where YOU stand. Until then.

'YOU WORRY  ME!' 

I totally agree with this sentiment.  I hope you will forget all about the 'political correctness' mandate we've had rammed down our throats, and see if this doesn't ring true in your heart and mind.  For Canada , with all the 
multiculturism we've been told is so important....why should we not, as Canadians, expect that the millions of new people immigrating to our country will show their love for our country, their allegiance to our country, their
willingness to obey the laws of our country, and acceptance that we are a Christian country?  Just because they are able to enjoy exercising their own religion, they should not expect us to be ashamed of ours. They knew Canada was a Christian country when they came here. Why are we erasing Christianity because immigrants who are unwilling to adopt our way of life expect us to?  There is just too much insanity in the world, and we have to start taking a stand.

 

I hope you will forward, so others will feel they are not alone if they are starting to feel the same.

 

THIS IS TOO GOOD TO JUST READ AND DELETE.... LET'S SATURATE THE  USA & CANADA WITH THIS ONE! 

 Too bad he didn't add the final words I would have thought the most useful you can exercise your right to freedom by going home if you don't like it here..

það er rétt sem hann segir hvar sem í heimi þú ert áttu að virða siði þess lands sem þú gistir í hver sem trú þín er en að fela sig á bakvið slæður og slíkt á að banna hér á landi og á að láta viðkomandi vita áður en komið er til landsins ég er ekki á móti múslimum en kuflar og slæður til að hylja andlit er ekkert sem kemur trúnni við þetta er siður sem á ekki við nema hjá múslimum sem ekki á heima í okkar siðum og ber þeim að virða það og taka af sér þessi klæði.

Sæll Halldór,

Í nákvæmlega þessu tilliti finnst mér umburðarlyndi Kanadamanna þremur of.

Þegar dóttir mín var í 3ja bekk Grunnskóla, fólst eitt verkefnið í að skreyta skókassa og safna munum og dóti sem minnti á Kanada í kassann.  Kínverskir samnemendur hennar fengu "undanþágu" frá þessu verkefni,  þeirra skókassi mátti vera um dýr náttúrunnar.

Á jólafönduregi, þar sem nemendur bjuggu til piparkökuhús og skreyttu með sælgæti, fengu sömu kínversku nemendurnir frí og þurftu ekki að mæta í skólann.

Ég gargaði inn í mér, finnst enn umburðarlyndið í þessu tilliti fáranlegt.

.... fyrir nokkrum árum, var hætt að segja opinberlega "Merry Christmas" þú áttir bara að segja "Happy holidays".
