Iraqi Mosques lose protected status
If push came to shove in this country...I know the layout to a nearby Mosque very well. :evil:
And I must say, gotta love the last name of the Brigadier General. Similiar to Rusty Kimit's, the hired goon/Amatuer wrestler dropping Hombre' that used to be the most hated by the local terrorists. :lol Quote:

According to them, now were at war with Islam. We had no choice but to bomb it, if someone was in a church or a temple and shooting at us im sure we would do the same. The Muslims are building tons os mosques and meeting places all over Long Island, NY. This is very disturbing, espically since most Muslims either dont care what the terrorists do or are afraid to turn them in. The local Muslim population seems to be rising. So dont feel worried Lunatock. If there in some small town in Pennsylvania, they must be everywhere.

Fight the enemy where ever they are. Don't stop until they give up or die.

Go, man, go.
Religious places should be kept free from harbouring elements that invite justified retaliation. Those who do not wish to keep the dignity of religious places, cannot complain that it is being desecrated! Armed men cannot be allowed to take refuge in religious joints and then use it as a base for insurrection.

I have always felt that Operation Bluestar would have incur a lot less casaulties than then 1000 dead figure!
There were stupid ROE imposed by politicians who had no freaking clue how the reality was back then. For example, a babu in the MoD ordered that all soldiers who were gonna assault the temple had to go bareless as not to desecrate the temple(like bombing the place to bits was not descrating enough!) to offend any Sikh voters in his master's district. As a result, the renegade general took advantage and ordered his minions to shoot at the feet which as then caused combat crippling casualties among hundreds of the troops who felled to the ground and were unable to move out of the line of fire, resulting in massive bleeding to death. That was one of the most stupid and irresponsible decisions ever made and the general who let the order stand should have been shot. The fact that he did not try to circumvent the order or disobeyed that order which was unlawful by any military accounts has portrayed him to a boot licking general who had no military expertise. |

BM,
We Indians are very sensitive about poltical correctness. That is why things don't work out the way we want. The Golden Temple was such a case. Fortunately, the US has no such qualms. They believe in what Davy Crockette said - Be sure you are right, then go ahead! They think they are right to bomb the mosques and so they are going ahead. The great part is that no country including Moslem countries have the gumption to say the US is wrong - at least till now! After all, how can one fault the US when they are losing folks daily and the last one was most brutal, inhuman and animal like. Of course, the Islamic apologists will state that these guys who burned the US bodies and dragged them down the street are not true Moslems. All blasted lip service. If they are not true Moslems, then even the Moslems should go after them instead of spewing pious platitudes and being mealy mouthed! |

I absolutely agree that those who allow armed men to hide within a religious place are just as bad as the armed men.
But (you knew it was coming). Its a dangerous game. You might know that the mosque contains snipers. but that story has to compete with "they are bombing our mosques". And if they are in the mosques and the mosques are secured, they aren't going anywhere. i would prefer a siege on the mosque as opposed to a bombing as i am concerned with convincing the moderates that the extremists are correct. |
