Previous entry << main page >> Next entry 09/13/2001 "he who is without sin" Come beat me for the crime of the Trail of Tears, for I have settler blood. Come scream epithets at me for the crimes of slavery, for I have Dutch blood. Come, tell me I deserve to die for crime of imperialism, for I have French blood. Come throw rocks at me for the crime of the holocaust, for I have German blood. Come spit on me for putting innocent Japanese-Americans in interment camps, for I am American. Come defile my church, as my people did to black churches in Georgia, for I am American. Come throw a Molotov cocktail at me for killing innocents children at Kent State, for I am American. Come throw garbage at me for killing 35,000 women, children and older people in Dresden, for I am American. Come traumatize my children for acts of terrorism, for I am native born American, just like Timothy McVeigh. But do not, please do not, hurt Middle-Easterners and Muslims who have committed no crime beyond the one you have: being born with the same blood as killers. "In Brisbane, a schoolbus packed with Islamic children was damaged by stones and bottles and there had been abusive calls to mosques, said Queensland Islamic Council chairman Sultan Deen." "In Chicago, a Molotov cocktail was tossed Wednesday at an Arab-American community center. " "In Huntington, N.Y., a 75-year-old man who was drunk tried to run over a Pakistani woman in the parking lot of a shopping mall, police said." "Mosque windows were shattered in Texas, a New York man was arrested for an alleged anti-Arab threat, and a prison fight broke out over Muslim slurs in Washington state. " "In Suffolk County, N.Y., authorities arrested a man who allegedly made an anti-Arab threat and pointed a handgun at a gas station employee. " "In Asbury, N.J., Ramandeep Singh, a Sikh who wears a turban for religious reasons, said he had garbage and stones thrown at his car and stayed home from work. " "At the Kuwait Embassy in Washington, Tamara Alfson spent Wednesday counseling frightened Kuwaiti students attending schools across the United States. One student was told, ``You should all die,'' Alfson said. "

Let us all pray Bush realises that firing missiles on Afghanistan is no better and no worse that flying planes into American buildings. Please if you must do something use the Seals and the SAS to form a snatch squad, don't knowingly risk world war against the whole of Islam. As a Christian I beg you, please.
