Preface:

Generally I don't get behind or pay much mind to rally calls and such propoganda as it's usually not my way. I post the following only beacuse of the personal irony in it's timing that I noticed it today as referenced at CombatCarry.
The thing is last night while playing 'Rainbow 6: Vegas' with my clan/teammates over XBox Live we got to talking about the movie 'United 93' (which left us all pissed the hell off...do not watch this if you don't want to cry and get real upset), the terrorist acts of 9/11, and the resulting war on Iraq. This lead to us having a very heated discussion toward how pissed we all were and are about 9/11 and how it touched our own personal lives in real not just watching it on TV ways as well as the current result s of as much including how the hell are we going to handle the resulting national debt we've incurred.
With that we began to talk about what would, if we could, do if a terrorist were to run up on us at our work, on the bus, or eghad on our plane. We talked for nearly two hours doing more talk than actual playing. It felt good to talk about it but at the same time it just got me mad and sad to think that today right now there are people who should be here with us and are not thanks to Mohammed Atta and his gang of crazed religious fanatics. Last night I got so angry and upsetthat I'd actually sweated out the t-shirt I was wearing and that was just from being seated on my couch talking, not actually up doing any physical exercise. To be completely honest I felt like going out and slapping the shit out of somebody, anybody, the first body I'd see. Only 'Schindlers List' and the miniseries 'Roots' prior has had that effect on me emotionally. For a minute I flet like reverting, and then I thought outloud to the group this emotion and anger and feelings of violence is exactly what they want and were hoping for. Do not buy into it. Resist.
Even still, fuck you terrorists! Motherfuck you.

Note: Earlier this month, six publicity-seeking imams filed a federal lawsuit against US Airways and the Metropolitan Airports Commission in Minneapolis/St. Paul. The Muslim clerics were removed from their flight last November and questioned for several hours after their suspicious behavior alarmed both passengers and crew members. Minneapolis Star Tribune columnist Katherine Kersten reported last week that the imams, advised by the grievance-mongers at the Council on American-Islamic Relations, also plan to sue "John Does" -- innocent bystanders who alerted the authorities about their security concerns. Rep. Steve Pearce, R-N.M., has introduced legislation to protect John Does who report suspicious behavior from legal liability. The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty; talk show host Michael Reagan; Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, who heads the American Islamic Forum for Democracy; and Minnesota lawyer Gerry Nolting have all stepped forward to offer free representation to the imams' targets.

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.

I will challenge your attempts to indoctrinate my children in our schools.

I will combat your violent propaganda on the Internet.

I am John Doe.

I will support law enforcement initiatives to spy on your operatives, cut off your funding, and disrupt your murderous conspiracies.

I will oppose all attempts to undermine our borders and immigration laws.

I will resist the imposition of sharia principles and sharia law in my taxi cab, my restaurant, my community pool, the halls of Congress, our national monuments, the radio and television airwaves, and all public spaces.

I will not be censored in the name of tolerance.

I will not be cowed by your Beltway lobbying groups in moderate clothing. I will not cringe when you shriek about “profiling” or “Islamophobia.”

I will put my family’s safety above sensitivity. I will put my country above multiculturalism.

I will not submit to your will. I will not be intimidated.

I am John Doe.

In the event you are wondering about the James Woods reference being true, as I was, here is a link to Snopes confirming it; http://www.snopes.com/rumors/woods.htm

Additional irony is that last night I was talking about the movies I refuse to watch a second time, which includes United 93, and that I generally restrict myself to seeing a set of films no more than once per year but at the same time make it a goal to see yearly the following three movies; The Roots miniseries, Glenn Garry/Glenn Ross, and The Boost...starring James Woods.
I watch these so that I never forget and keep my mind right as well as on the prize.

Anyway I was talking about how excellent James Woods was in the roll of 'Lenny' but the guys had no clue who James Woods was or even familiarity with the film which IMHO was excellent. Well anyway as it turns out James Woods is a John Doe too. I can't wait to tell the guys about this factoid next time I catch up with them and pass on to them this John Doe Manifesto.

I don't know what to say, other than, I see eye to eye with you on every single point you made (and the article). Moving, to say the least.

9/11 changed me... a lot. Not so good if you're against me.

 

[Gun-Nut]

Wow! Good post.
I agree with your thoughts on United 93. I watched that movie awhile back and also got pissed off.

^^^Argee with this ^^^

Some may call me a conspiracy nut but I dont find it so hard to believe that flight 93 was shot down. It may have been covered up to not diminish the efforts of the people trying to regain control of the plane or to not give the satisfaction to the terrorists. But if it was shot down it would have been the right thing to do under the circumstances. I also believe that religion is mostly to blame for this, and not just muslims. Religous people have historically been the reason for most of what is wrong with the world today.
