Justice of Terrorists in US
Reader comment on item: Convicting [Ali al-Timimi,] the "Paintball Sheikh"

Submitted by Hinda Blas (United States), May 3, 2005 at 15:08

In reading Mr. Pipes' latest article regarding the Paintball Sheikh, I want to add more to this.

As a long term resident of Northern California, I have seen things I never thought I would ever see. I've seen the resurgance of Nazi-like tactics in schools, work, in the media, in stores, etc. What do I mean by Nazi-like?

Simple:

Between 1933 and 1945, when Hitler got into office and began his less than thousand year reign of destruction to life of all, the following happened. Please think about whether or not this is also happening in your area:

- Banning of books by certain Authors due to names or subject matter;
- Rewriting of Country and World history (perhaps to fit an agenda)
- Boycotting of good and services from countries deemed "enemy against mankind"
- Whitewashing of truth so that the lies become believable
- Religious leaders pushing for boycotts, condemnation of others for being "different"
- Selling articles of either clothing, books, bumper stickers that speak against countries and/or individuals who just don't see things their way
- Teaching rhetoric that is truly goes against civil rights of others and teaching the lies which is being branded as truth.
- ETC.

Here in Northern California, all this is happening. Books that are banned are Mark Twain, Washington Irving, Theodore Herzl, etc. Books that are not banned are Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf, Biographies of both Shiekh Yasin and Arafat.

Children in grade school throughout high school for the last 4 years have been taught that Israel is an Apartheid Nation. George Washington and others of the founding fathers of the US were all Islamic in beliefs. There was never a viable country called Israel. The Holocaust didn't truly happen as the Zionists claim.

Stores throughout this area are putting out boycotts of Israeli-made goods and services. Flyers against Jews are being put on cars windshields.

Children and adults are being taught that Israel pushed out thousands of "palestinians" between 1948 and 1973. Unfortunately the truth is that 1) Palestinian meant settler, resident of "British Mandate of Palestine, and/or Jew for centuries; 2) Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and even Egypt called for Arabs to go to their motherlands as they were all going to push the yehudi's into the sea and whatever is left behind will be theirs. Allah had commanded - so Allah will give. Proof of this is Newspaper articles in Al-Ahram (Egypt) and many other media which until recently always kept old copies. (When asked recently to view old newspaper articles, the newspapers now claim that all old copies were destroyed in fires.)

Ministers are calling for a boycott on Israeli products. Organizations such as the Presbyterian Synods are calling for divestment from Israel and their leaders are happy to have their photos taken with Hezbollah and Hamass terrorists but calling them "brother" and "neighbor".

I can go on -- but I think this is enough for now. Think about it.

We should remember that even though in the US we have freedoms, these freedoms are not cheap. Yes we do have hate groups like the KKK but when you give in to the hate groups such as them (who, by the way are now in league with the Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Brotherhood Clubs along with CAIR's blessing) then you have a recipe for another Nazi-like Europe.

If one is not sure of what I am talking about -- read up on how Hitler got to power, what he did to masses of people, then go and read exactly what happened to Zorastrians, Jews, Hindus, Christians, Bahais, etc. in the countries that border the Mediterranean Sea as well as in Pakistan and India. Read how thousands were expulled by Muslims and think - isn't this what the Muslims claim have happened in Israel? You will (hopefully) find that they have taken facts and made it into fiction - but parading their fiction to look like true facts. Unfortunately, great medias of yesteryear that once could see through the deception (like the BBC) are believing in it too.

As Josef Goebbels once stated and Arafat proved: If one states a lie long enough, it becomes believable.
