By majority of terrorist attacks, do you mean the ONE terrorist attack against us on 9/11?

I didn't say the United States I said the west . That includes many attacks by muslims over the years. As a soldier I remember the discotheque bombing in Berlin in 1986,

The Marine Barracks bombing in Beirut in 1983

March 11, 1978 38 people shot to death by muslim terrorist on a beach near Tel Aviv

Aug. 19 1982- Two American citizens, Anne Van Zanten and Grace Cutler, were killed along with 6 others when the PLO bombed a Kosher restaurant in Paris, France.

June 14 1985 - TWA Boeing 727 Flight 847 hijacked en route to Rome, 8 crew and 145 passengers were held for 17 days, U.S. Navy diver was murdered. After being flown twice to Algiers, the hostages were released after the US pressured to release 435 Lebanese and Palestinian prisoners.

Sept. 5 1986 - Pan Am Boeing 747 Flight 73 en route to Frankfurt and on to New York hijacked by Palestinian terrorists, with 379 passengers, including 89 Americans, 22 hostages killed, 127 wounded.

Dec. 21, 1988 - Pan Am Flight 103 - Boeing 747 from London to New York, blown up over Lockerbie, Scotland, by a bomb. All 259 passengers and 11 on the ground were killed, including 35 Syracuse University students and many U.S. military personnel.

Jan. 25 1993, Virginia, U.S.A. A Pakistani terrorist opened fire with AK-47 on CIA employees standing outside the building. Two agents, Frank Darling and Bennett Lansing, were killed and 3 others wounded.

Feb. 23 1998 (Published) - A Statement signed by many Islamic Jihad Leaders from most Muslim countries, first by Sheikh Osamah Bin-Ladin: “…In compliance with God’s order, we issue the following fatwa to all Muslims:
The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies–civilians and military–is an individual duty for every Muslim who can, in any country in which it is possible… We — with Allah’s help — call on every Muslim who believes in God and wishes to be rewarded, to comply with Allah’s order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it. Unless you go forth, Allah will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place.”


Sept. 11, 2001 Attacks on America.

March 11, 2004 Madrid train bombings

July 7, 2005 bombings in London

I could go on and on but with hundreds of examples of THE WEST being attacked by MUSLIM EXTREAMIST but I do not have all day and besides I doubt it will do any good since you seem to be in denial and are perfectly happy condeming the west and supporting your jihadist brothers.

Here is another link that list American victims of Mideast terrorist attacks.
It is not complete but it is very extensive so take yor time and read it. You may want to do what I have done in the past and research these attacks independently.

Sept. 5 1986 - Pan Am Boeing 747 Flight 73 en route to Frankfurt and on to New York hijacked by Palestinian terrorists, with 379 passengers, including 89 Americans, 22 hostages killed, 127 wounded.

I believed that the Palestinians didn't exist!!! :shock:

I know we have had this debate before here at DP. And it is clear that Palestine and the so called Palestinian people are a myth concocted by arabs to stop Jews from reclaiming the land that is rightfully theirs.

Now you have generations of people who believe they are Palestinians. Nothing could be further from the truth
.

could you enlighten me? :2wave:
 
To mostly everyone in the world they are considered part of the west as in western civilization. Please educate yourself and read the following link. :roll:

Western culture is much different than the West. Culture is an abstract, intangible concept. "The West" refers to a specific location or region. Please educate yourself on the differences to avoid this confusion next time. Thanks.

The Hijacking in question was commited by PLO terrorist. (Palestinian Liberation Organization) So called Palestinians.

BUT...supposedly it was organized and commissioned by Libya. Your point is wrong. Based on your thinking 9-11 was committed by Saudi Arabia nor Al Qaeda.

Libya was behind the Pan Flight 73 hijacking, not the PLO.

When I and most of the rest of the world with the exception of you refer to the west in the contect of Islamic extremist War on the West I am refering to Western Civiliztion. I am not refering to geographical location. Its obvious you need to be educated further. Please stop making a fool of yourself and except the fact that you are wrong and then move on please, its quite embarrassing.

Here are more references to the west in the context of Islamic Extremist war on the west.

Sorry but you are confused. They are two seperate Pan Am flights (my former employer)

First there was Pan Am Flight 73 that was hijacked on September 5, 1986, by four armed men of the Abu Nidal Organization. Part of the secular, leftwing, Palestinian rejectionist front, so called because they reject proposals for a peaceful settlement with Israel, the ANO was formed after a split in 1974 between Abu Nidal and Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction within the Palestine Liberation Organization PLO.

Pan Am Flight 73 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abu Nidal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My bad, It was the Abu Nidal Organization not the PLO. However it had nothing to do with Libya. How ever Abu Nidal was once a member of the PLO prior to 1974

Then there was Pan Am Flight 103 which on Dec. 21, 1988 detonated over Lockerbie Scottland. That is the flight which was organized and commissioned by Libya.

Did you miss this part of the Wiki piece that you linked us to?
Libya has been accused of sponsoring the hijacking, as well as carrying out the bombings of Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988 and UTA Flight 772 in 1989. In 1991, a press briefing for an indictment by the U.S. Justice Department over Pan Am 103 said that "Libya provided financial and logistic support to the Abu Nidal Organization hijacking of Pan Am Flight 73 in Karachi, Pakistan" and that "the Libyan People's Bureau in Islamabad assisted at least one of the hijackers by providing him with travel documentation.
 
Did you miss this part of the Wiki piece that you linked us to?


Ok, Libya may have supported financial and logistical support to the Palestinian Terrorist Organization known as the Abu Nidal Organization responsible for PA Flight 73. You were right. These were acts of terrorism commited by Islamic extremist against the west, you agree?

Apparently Gaddai may have been the mastermind of the attack.

Absolutely I agree but none of them were American citizens (committing the acts of terrorism) except for Timothy McVie and he most definitely was not a Muslim.

The point of this thread is that paranoia of certain less educated Americans causes "misunderstandings" based on ignorance, i.e. being afraid of anything Muslim and being made afraid by garb, skin color or knowledge that the people in question are Muslim. These points overruled all the logic that these people did absolutely nothing wrong, werre humiliated and fingered simply because they were Muslim.

I agree that the muslim family in question was treated unfairly and after being cleared by the FBI should have been allowed to fly on the airline. There is however precedence of terrorist attacks that lead to peoples fears. And we would be foolish to ignore the fact that the majority of said attacks were carried out by muslims.
 
This was my first post in this thread #151
Ok, heres my opinion on this. Once the FBI cleared them the airline should have let them fly. On the other hand I understand how the other passengers could become suspicious. Muslims know many Americans are suspicious of them to begin with. So why say things that would raise a red flag. Anyway Its a shame this family had to be treated this way but thats where we are in todays society. The Airline would have been derelict to do nothing once the other passengers concerns where brought to there attention.

I stand by it, And I also stand by these post.
#255
If we know that muslim terrorist are the group most likely to attack us again why would we be checking a little old white lady in a wheel chair. Thats just plain stupid, search those from the group that is most likely to commit a terrorist act, muslims.
People wearing muslim clothing we should check, airlines should also know the religion of all passengers. If were going to do this right then we should be fare about it and check all muslims regardless of their race.

#264
What harm does it do if we check people from a group that wish us harm. Think about it 98% of all terrorist attacks against the west are commited by muslims. If I were muslim I would understand if I were singled out because of my religion. Im not saying we should torture them for christ sake. Just take them aside and search them. Whats the big deal?

#275
What group is carrying out the majority of terrorist attacks against the west? Muslims are.

Israels National carrier El Al Airlines uses sophisticated racial and religious profiling, interrogation and inspection methods which have thwarted hijacking and bombing attempts. Guess what, it works. Im sorry if muslims are offended by El Al Airlines security but it saves lifes at the expense of offending muslims. Surely muslims arn't so thin skinned that they cannot understand the need for such extreme measures.

Notice the consistency to my arguement.

But not by American citizens on a trip to Orlando with their three young children not to mention that one was a doctor and another was a lawyer. Has there ever been an American born Muslim Doctor Terrorist? Any history of American Muslim children being used as terrorist tools?

Let's not forget that they had already been through security and that there were no red flags whatsoever. Allowing the mob mentality to dictate security procedures is just plain ridiculous and without justification.

You did read how all nine victims were meant to stand near the jetway after being deplaned and had to endure the humility of the rest of the passengers getting off the plane, looking at them and thinking they were terrorists and thinking that their young kids were involved all because some morons panicked and were allowed to inflict their bigoted fears upon an entire airplane?

Why haven't the accusers publicly apologized for their grievous error? Wouldn't the right thing to do be to go in front of the media or release a statement admitting they had allowed their overall fears of Muslims to dictate their behavior?
 
So Spain, London and Israel are all considered "The West" to you? What a strange sense of direction you have. What are they west of? Asia? Russia? Australia? They are also East of all of those places as well.

Next time don't be so vague.

Oh come on Ego, this is absolutely idiotic. You're either completely and utterly ignorant of political speak and never read anything on this board the entire time you've been here or you're being intentionally dense, ignorant, and intellectually dishonest here.

The fact you go on in this thread to used it as "The West", notice the capitalization, shows this. If you are speaking simply in terms of direction you wouldn't use such capitalization.

This is as pathetic of an attempted nitpick as it would be if he said "America" and you were like "What America? North America? South America? Or the united states of America?"

For all of you "libertarians" and others who are dreaming of the day when America will fully divorce herself from all of her culture and traditions,...



The term "the West" refers to Western Culture - Western Civilization.



Western Culture entails all societies that have at their bedrock a Greco-Roman influence in regards to politics, art, literature and philosophy and post-classical - Christian religious world-view.
 
You do realize that they were totally cleared, right? This comment was completely uncalled for.

Hey Comment Nazi, it was their comments that got them thrown off the plane and justifyably so. Don't yell "fire" in a theater and don't make the type of comments like the stupid idiots did. Let's see if they do it again. If anyone traveling by air nowdays is that stupid they should take up bus riding.

The problem with your analogy is that if white Christians made the comments the Muslims did, nothing would have happen.

We do not have a limitation of freedom of speech for just Muslims.

If someone yells "fire" in a crowded room when there is none, they will get in trouble no matter who they are.

In this case you are saying Muslims should have their freedom of speech limited just because they are Muslim. That is wrong.
 
I feel so bad for them. It must be so hard to be a Muslim and travel in the United States by air. They have to put up with so much ignorant stereotyping by some people. I've heard stupid comments before when I have traveled and it disgusts me.

Yes, how silly of us to think that Arab looking Muslims would blow people up and hijack airliners and fly them into high rises huh?

The thing that fascinates me about the above comments is the vacuum of reality it takes to think that passengers who LOOK like their terrorist countrymen are not going to be suspect and should exercise extreme caution when making vocal comments about security while at the airport or in an aircraft.

Of course, we could ALL just wallow in denial and pretend that Islamic cultures are non-violent and don't go around blowing innocents up and decapitating their captives.

Carry on. :roll:
