Lawsuit anyone?

I’m thinking Nick Berg’s family needs to sue every media outlet that published/distributed any Abu Ghrayib photos as they are all culpable in his murder.

I have no outrage left in me, so instead I will pray.

I’ve read EV for awhile. This is my first comment, and it’s mostly directed at other commenters.

Characterizing Islam based on the acts of fundamentalists in disingeneous. There are Muslims living in America who condemn this act and who are outraged by it. Their religious practice carries no room for this type of criminal act.

My family is Muslim. I grew up surrounded by a loving Muslim community. These were the most intelligent, kind, gentle people I have ever known. Trust me, I went to college in central Texas where people were known for being friendly and helping out a neighbor if they were in trouble. It doesn’t compare to what my family’s friends did for each other on a daily basis–all peaceful and loving acts designed to care for one another’s children, teach the children values, look out for the parents when they were sick, comfort each other when they heard about a death of a loved one overseas…the list goes on and on.

When people react by attacking Islam and concluding we ought to just nuke all the stupid Muslims, you’re forgetting that there are American Muslims, and that they are your fellow Americans. Don’t allow religious fundamentalism to become representative of all believers–and don’t think that this sort of fundamentalism isn’t seen as a threat by devout Muslims who don’t embrace it.

I have typed and erased several paragraphs already — I don’t know what to say. In a way, one man suffered a horriffic death in repayment for the poor decisions of several officers in an Iraqi prison. I know it is not that simple, but it is true to some degree.

Sickening
I decided to download the video. But as it was going to take a while I thought I’d better read around first 10% 25% 45% 60% 75% 95% 100% … shift, delete. There aren’t words for how wrong this is….

So the death-worshipping Arab media refuses to play this video? You think it shows there’s still hope for the world.

That’s incredibly naive.

The Arab media refuses to show it because it makes their “glorious” warriors look bad after all the whining they’re doing about dirty pictures in that Iraqi prison..

I agree with Patrick. The video should be shown on all the major news networks for the whole country to see. Americans need a whole heapin’ helpin’ of Wake The Fuck Up! and get an up close and personal view of what we’re fighting.

News Is Bad
I don’t usually like to write about news related items, but the beheading story really turns my stomach. The video is on line too. I would never watch it. I don’t really understand why one would want to. I need…

It should be shown everywhere. Then, when all the Americans who are going soft see poor Nick Berg’s head being sawed off and then held up to the camera we might actually realize what we are facing.

Rage is the most appropriatley emotion right now. Righteous rage.
