Should NBC have aired Cho's video?

Gut reaction - No.



Allah at Hot Air looks at whether any news organization should have aired this mass murderer's video.



The networks refused to show the footage of the people who fall/jumped out of the World Trade Center, because they feared it would cause too much anger.

But the networks aired Osama's video after 9/11....





hmmm..



Final answer - No. That bastards is the most watched video on YouTube. How many other glory seekers are going to plan a major crime to achieve such honor?

What Would I Do?

What would I have done, if I had been at Virginia Tech - - -

I don't know.
I have never been in a situation of live hostile gunfire.

I have had been threatened with a knife, twice.
First time, I stared him down. (This was at a small organizational event, for a high school club. The man who threatened me, in front of a witness, would have gone to jail.)
Second time, was at a high school event. I had an entire football team backing me up.

So neither of those incidents were truly life threatening.

But, my daughter, who will start college next fall, asked about what she should do.

This is what I told her.

First, determine if you are in immediate danger,
if not, determine were the danger lies, and move away from the danger.
if yes, get small, get low, get slow.

Get small - less of a target
Get low - a shooter is more likely to shoot high
Get slow - a person notices fast motion, more than slow motion.

Fighting Back - An Option?

from Big Lizards by Dafydd





The epiphany is this: Each one of us is a foot soldier for civilization; when evil threatens, we must do our utmost to thwart it.



Your utmost may be as simple as snitching on your best friend
when you discover he has systematically looted the company you both
work for... or as profound as Virginia Tech Engineering Professor Liviu
Librescu, a Holocaust survivor, who gave his last full measure blocking
the doorway to his classroom, allowing his students time to escape out
the window.

THUGS RECITE KORAN WHILE ATTACKING

via Pat Dollard

From The Norwegian Newspaper “Aftenposten”:

Kadra attacked in public

Norwegian-Somalian Kadra, who became famous in Norway for exposing
imam support of female circumcision, was beaten unconscious on Thursday.

Kadra was attacked and beaten senseless by seven or eight persons of
Somali origin, newspaper VG reports. Kadra said that the gang of Somali
men attacked her around 3 a.m. in downtown Oslo on Thursday. A medical
examination found that she had several broken ribs, NRK (Norwegian
Broadcasting) reports. Kadra filed charges and was due to speak with
police on Friday.

“I was terrified. While I lay on the pavement they kicked me and
screamed that I had trampled on the Koran. Several shouted
Allah-o-akbar (God is great) and also recited from the Koran,” Kadra
told VG.

Kadra’s role in a 2000 hidden camera TV documentary revealing the
positive attitude of Muslim leaders to female circumcision had a
massive impact on Norway, and sparked new legislation.

Word from Sgt Brooks

via Powerline

Many people believe that being in Iraq has little bearing on the war
on terror and winning is no longer an option. Yet even if we have no
chance of winning we must have the moral strength and courage to
continue to fight.

Through our operations we have tilled up the Iraqi society and our
departure would only allow the enemy to embed themselves deeply within
the social fabric. Left unchecked this situation would produce a state
that is evil, radical, and anti American. This would be a Jihad
Victory. Because of this we must be victorious.

I say that it is the “Right war to Fight” and I mean it with every
fiber of my being. America is in this fight now. Much like Israel is
locked in war, we are now locked in war. It may be slow and protracted
but it will remain.

You may be thinking that this is not the case and that the attacks
on American soil were a fluke. I say to you that you are lying to
yourself and are in for a rude awakening. Not only are you in for a
rude awakening but your self deception will cost our nation dearly in
mindset and readiness. You have become tired of fighting. But how can
anyone become tired of fighting the right fight? Much like in a foot
race you will begin to tire and hurt. You will begin to focus on what
is happening to you now. You have lost sight of the goal as you focus
on yourself. And the pain that consumes you now has killed your
aspirations of winning. You will only be able to win when you keep your
eyes on the end goal and you see past the now. But unfortunately our
eyes, via the news, have been focused on the now far too long.

Where have the enemies of our country come from? The answer is
Radical Islam. The only thing that I can equate Radical Islam to is a
gang. In a land where there is little to offer in terms of education,
jobs, and class advancement the idle public will begin to look for
affiliation. They find that affiliation in their religion. Similar to a
gang, Fundamental Islam provides a sense of belonging which translates
to influence and through that affiliation and influence the members
execute the will of the organization.

Quote

John Stuart Mill:

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of
things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling
which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who
has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more
important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has
no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of
better men than himself."

The Declaration of Arbroath 1320

The Declaration of Arbroath 1320 by John Prebble

The Declaration of Arbroath was and has been unequalled in its eloquent plea for the liberty of man. From the darkness of medieval minds it shone a torch upon future struggles which its signatories could not have foreseen or understood.

The author of this noble Latin address is unknown, though it is assumed to have been composed by Bernard de Linton, Abbot of Arbroath and Chancellor of Scotland.

Above the seals of eight earls and forty-five barons, it asked for the Pope's dispassionate intervention in the bloody quarrel between the Scots and the English, and so that he might understand the difference between the two its preamble gave him a brief history of the former.

The laughable fiction of this is irrelevant. What is important is the passionate sincerity of the men who believed it, who were placing a new and heady nationalism above the feudal obligations that had divided their loyalties less than a quarter of a century before. In its mixture of
defiance and supplication, nonsensical history and noble thought, two things make the Declaration of Arbroath the most important document in Scottish history.

Firstly it set the will and the wishes of the people above the King. Though they were bound to him 'both by law and by his merits' it was so that their freedom might be maintained. If he
betrayed them he would be removed and replaced. This remarkable obligation placed upon a feudal monarch by his feudal subjects may be explained in part by the fact that Bruce was still a heather king to many of them, still a wild claimant ruling upon sufferance and success.
But the roots of his kingship were Celtic, and a Celtic tradition was here invoked, the memory of the Seven Earls, the Seven Sons of Cruithne the Pict in who, it was believed, had rested the ancient right of tanistry, the elevation of kings by selection. This unique relationship
of king and people would influence their history henceforward, and would reach its climax in the Reformation and the century following, when a people's Church would declare and maintain its superiority over earthly crowns.

Secondly, the manifesto affirmed the nation's independence in a way no battle could, and justified it with a truth that is beyond nation and race. Man has a right to freedom and a duty
to defend it with his life. The natural qualifications put upon this by a medieval baron are irrelevant, as are the reservations which slave-owning Americans placed upon their declaration of independence.

The truth once spoken cannot be checked, the seed once planted controls its own growth, and the liberty which men secure for themselves must be given by them to others, or it will be taken as they took it. Freedom is a hardy plant and must flower in equality and brotherhood.

Muslim Demands

TWISTED LOGIC - POOR OLD MUSLIMS -

The Pope says that jihad violence is against God's nature,

and officials fear that in response,

Muslims enraged by this insult will commit ...
jihad violence.



Muslims murder 3,000 innocents in New York and the Pentagon

and expect no criticism.

Muslims murder 202 tourists in Bali

and expect no criticism.

Muslims murder 333 schoolchildren and their teachers in Beslan

and expect no criticism.

Muslims murder 292 innocents,

mainly Kenyans and Tanzanians at two US Embassies

and expect no criticism.

Muslims murder 241 US and 58 French peacekeepers in Beirut

and expect no criticism.



Muslims fire 4,000 Katyusha rockets into Northern Israel

killing over 50 innocent civilians

and expect no criticism.



Muslims murder 52 in London and 191 in Madrid

and expect no criticism.



Muslims murder 200 in Mumbai

and expect no criticism.



Muslims behead

Western hostages in Iraq,

Buddhist monks in Thailand,

Christian schoolgirls in Indonesia

and expect no criticism.



Muslims murder 500,000 in Darfur

and expect no criticism.



Muslims regard Jews as 'sons of pigs and monkeys',

and vow to nuke Israel

and expect no criticism.



Muslims force women to wear hideous sacks,

stone to death women for getting raped and for leaving the home unescorted, engage in honor killings of sisters and daughters for unapproved dating,

and expect no criticism.



Muslims danced in the streets

and handed out sweets to their kids to celebrate the 9/11 atrocity,

and still expected no criticism.



Since 9/11 Muslims have killed over 26 ,000

and wounded over 50,000 in terrorist attacks worldwide

and expect no criticism.



Since 9/11 Muslims have committed terrorist attacks in

Afghanistan,

Algeria,

Bangladesh,

Belgium,

Chechnya,

Dagestan,

Denmark,

East Timor,

and Yemen,


and still expect no criticism.


Muslims have carried out over 7,000 fatal terrorist atrocities since 9/11,
and countless thousands since Islamic conquest began in 623 AD

and expect no criticism.



But if a Pope dares to tell the truth about Islam

or Danes publish cartoons about Mohammed,

then let the outpourings of Islamic hate and outrage begin.



And, by some twisted reach of logic,

the arrogant bastards demand the Pope issue an apology.

I am John Doe

From Michelle Malkin
UPDATED with VIDEO

Dear Muslim Terrorist Plotter/Planner/Funder/Enabler/Apologist, You do not know me. But I am on the lookout for you. You are my enemy. And I am yours. I am John Doe. I am traveling on your plane. I am riding on your train. I am at your bus stop. I am on your street. I am in your subway car. I am on your lift. I am your neighbor. I am your customer. I am your classmate. I am your boss. I am John Doe. I will never forget the example of the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 who refused to sit back on 9/11 and let themselves be murdered in the name of Islam without a fight. I will never forget the passengers and crew members who tackled al Qaeda shoe-bomber Richard Reid on American Airlines Flight 63 before he had a chance to blow up the plane over the Atlantic Ocean. I will never forget the alertness of actor James Woods, who notified a stewardess that several Arab men sitting in his first-class cabin on an August 2001 flight were behaving strangely. The men turned out to be 9/11 hijackers on a test run. I will act when homeland security officials ask me to "report suspicious activity." I will embrace my local police department's admonition: "If you see something, say something." I am John Doe. I will protest your Jew-hating, America-bashing "scholars." I will petition against your hate-mongering mosque leaders. I will raise my voice against your subjugation of women and religious minorities.

Respectfully,

John Doe

Word from Winston

“If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without
bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not
too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with
all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may
even be a worse case: You may have to fight when there is no hope of
victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.”

Words of Wisdom

From Senator Saxby Chamblis

Congress Should Not Micromanage the War

March 30th, 2007

Congress
does not need to micromanage the war, and funding for our troops should
not be delivered with strings attached.  The continuous efforts to set
a surrender date undermine our military and are contradictory to the
Senate’s unanimous support of General David Petraeus, who is currently
executing the new strategy in. We need to give that strategy a chance
to work without tying the hands of those who are carrying out that
strategy.

We have military leadership on the ground in recommending against
imposing timelines. We have civilian leaders who have significant
military experience who testified before the Senate Armed Services
Committee, and every single one of those individuals, whether they were
Republican or Democrat, has said imposing timelines is not the way to
go. A surrender date will simply embolden the enemy.

EU Solves "Terrorism" Problem

From Little Green Footballs

The European Union has solved Europe’s problem with Islamic terrorism and jihad.

By banning the words.

The European Union has drawn up
guidelines advising government spokesmen to refrain from linking Islam
and terrorism in their statements.

Brussels officials have confirmed the existence of a classified
handbook which offers “non-offensive” phrases to use when announcing
anti-terrorist operations or dealing with terrorist attacks.

Banned terms are said to include “jihad”, “Islamic” or “fundamentalist”.

The word “jihad” is to be avoided altogether, according to some
sources, because for Muslims the word can mean a personal struggle to
live a moral life.

One alternative, suggested publicly last year, is for the term
“Islamic terrorism” to be replaced by “terrorists who abusively invoke
Islam”.

An EU official said that the secret guidebook, or, “common lexicon”,
is aimed at preventing the distortion of the Muslim faith and the
alienation of Muslims in Europe.
