"...minimize references to Al-Qaeda.”

[Bailey Guns]

From FoxNews and the NYT:

The Obama administration has issued talking points for officials in observance of the tenth anniversary of the Sept 11, 2001 terror attacks.

One of them is to “minimize references to Al-Qaeda.”

Another talking point instructed American officials overseas to seek to universalize the commemorative day by noting: “We honor all victims of terrorism, in every nation…whether in New York or Nairobi, Bali or Belfast, Mumbai or Manila, or Lahore or London.”

They just can't come out and say "The US was attacked by Muslim extremists on Sept 11, 2001." Even the state department briefer discussing the guidelines referred to the date as "nine one one."

At the same time, Obama administration officials caution that public commemorations here should not cast the United States as the sole victim of terrorism, an argument underscored by killings and maimings from extremist attacks overseas.

Yeah? I don't recall any other countries being attacked on 9/11. Do you?

Fucksticks. I really, really dislike this president and those that defend his administration. Really.

Wtf?

Who do we say then? Bad men? Here's a cookie, go sit in the corner we don't want to make the terrorist mad again, we wouldn't want them to win.

Well obviously the US is not the only victim of terror...but trends could show that the victims are westernized/Christian countries, or westerners/Christians/Jews, and so on in not so western countries...so yes I feel for all the other victims

...we were also attacked by Muslim Extremists on 9/11 and that should be allowed to be pointed out...

Just my opinion anyway

[BPTactical]

Morons make me want to spew chunks with this crap.

This is akin to not referencing the Japanese at Pearl Harbor or the Germans at Malmedy.
Yes, let's dishonor the victims of 9/11 by saying the Boogy Man killed them instead.
I swear the Clown in Chief is hell bent on putting his Muzzie brothers first.
2012 cannot get here soon enough!


On a different note:

A survey released today stated that over 50% of Muzzies in America feel they are Muzzies first and Americans second.
Excuse me?
We are Americans FIRST and if you feel contrary to that GET THE F¥CK OUT OF MY COUNTRY!

I think this is a very dangerous trend.

This is to be expected, when the administration refuses to use the word terrorist, except when referring to Conservatives and Tea Partiers.

That survey question is kind of rigged in the first place.

Playing devil's advocate a little: I'm pretty sure any Christian worth their salt would say they're Christian first and American second as well if they had to pick.

To be fair, our nation's laws are much more in-line with Christian morals and beliefs than those of the Muslims so it isn't such a horrible thing in the latter case.

No no no no no. Muslim FUNDAMENTALISTS. They are the "Religion of Peace"... with their idea of peace being a world free of infidels where everyone follows Allah, achieved by killing or converting all nonbelievers. The ones setting up IED's, blowing up civilians, decapitating POWs, shooting up churches, stoning 15yo girls for hanging out with a boy from the wrong tribe, cutting off hands of thiefs, etc. are NOT "extremists" or "radicals," they are fundamentalists... merely following the word of the Quran. That guy in your office that prays in the back room 3 times a day but hasn't tried to blow you up (yet), he's the "radical" Muslim.

Fuck islam! Minimize that.

We bend our backs to appease these assholes. But I am intolerant for saying that.

Let them believe what they wish.

If I hired a someone who insisted they had to pray 5 times a day, I would say go for it. But there goes your lunch break. And, you cannot do it on my property.
