horhay,

Notice how HARRAK sneers at the very idea of freedom. He says the "intelligent people, the scholars" should run things, not ignorant underlings like you and me. Such thorough arrogance and contempt for the common man!

When he talks of "scholars," he is obviously referring to Islamic imams, ayatollahs, and clerics, operating in unelected star chambers having he power of life and death over every citizen and creature. Their "scholarship" consists merely and exclusively of reading the Koran, ahadith and sura, the sole source, to them, of all truth and justice.

Such scholars have issued fatwas across the globe against anything they find distasteful or "un-Islamic." Religious police, assassins, and enforcement gangs roam the planet carrying out the judgments of these Islamic star chambers. Today, there are Muslim gangs hunting down and murdering (or forcing conversion on) Buddhists in Thailand, Catholics in the Philippines, and Copts in Egypt. There are Muslim hit squads hunting down and murdering apostates in the UK, Iran, Iraq, and Pakistan, just to mention a few places. As we speak, there are Muslim rape gangs operating in Norway, Sweden, and Australia dealing "Islamic justice" against unveiled women. In Iraq, there are Shiite gangs hunting down and murdering homosexuals.

This is the plan HARRAK has for you and me, horhay. HARRAK has condemned you and me to death, and our children and grand-children to slavery in service to a cult of death. America is in the way of this plan, and so HARRAK joins the Islamic umma to make it a target of their subversion and unrestricted fanatical violence.

As for Popeye, I nominate him for sainthood. His moral example and personal integrity stands head and shoulders above anything you will find in the Islamic world or its teachings, now or in the past.
