Terrorism

    Let me ask you something -

    What if you discovered that your neighbor was stock piling dangerous explosives, weapons mean to kill many people, and generally trying to hide that information from the public? Would you keep your mouth shut or report it to a legal authority?

    What if you knew that neighbor was a member of a terrorist organization that claimed responsibility for something like what happened in London on their tubes (subway) and bus? Wouldn't you turn them in?

    If you DIDN'T turn them in, knowing what you knew, would you really be "innocent?"

    To not report a crime----is a crime! Only when I do turn him in---let the "coppers" come BEFORE he detonates the stupid bomb!!!!

    TS - correct. Except for the Abu Nidal thing...its actually Abu Nibal. No harm, no foul. Whatever they are called and however they spell it - they just need to stop.

    Delivered,

    Have we killed 3000 terrorists and insurgents yet?
    I seem to recall two planes flying into two big buildings in NYC.
    If you think Saddam wasn't up to his eyeballs in helping fund terrorists then your naive.
    ***Personal attack removed****
    The only thing we should have done in Iraq was drop pamphlets from the sky telling all the women and children to get out of Bagdad and every other town in that God forsaken land and then blow every square inch of their cities back to the stone ages. That would be the end right there.

    **Personal attack removed***I bet you say "I support the troops but not the war." Well if you support the troops then you don't equate their efforts with those of the terrorists in regarding who has killed the most people. It was people like ***personal attack removed*** who spit on soldiers when they came home from Vietnam. (my dad proudly volunteered for that war)

    **Personal attack removed****

    If your a woman then you need to go over to one of those muslim countries and run around in a Burka all day long with it about 110 degrees.

    ***Personal attack removed***

    Does this sound personal? I sure hope so. Because when you go running down my country and our service men and women you make it personal.

    ***Personal attack removed****

    Re. terrorism. I recommend a book by John MacArthur, the title is "Terrorism, Jihad, and the Bible".
    Pastor MacArthur wrote it shortly after 9/11.

    I have never read anything by John McCarthur, but I did enjoy that and agree with much of what he said. I think maybe I should check him out some more.

    shannonl...I dont know what you said, but I support and defend wholeheartedly your right to say it.

    Note to others...people get kind of mad when they are slaughtered while riding subways and going to their jobs. Youre just going to have to understand that.

    Delivered,

    I apologize for the personal comments I inserted to my response to your post. As you can see the moderator deleted them. The comments werent cursing you or anything like that just not to christian. I still whole heartily disagree with your views. Yet, the personal remarks were uncalled for. I just kind of lost it. It wasn't Christ-like at all. It was also imnmature as an adult. I apologize.

    Blackbird,

    I did mean my apology but I'm not convinced that Delivered began posting these issues in good faith. I sense that his/her postings have been put out there just to get people going. That I don't appreciate. The points he/she has made sound like "talking points" from a particular group etc.... Just the same it was over the top to be as personal as I was.
