Great bar opener! Familiar territory for sure. It also reminds me that I should have left the bar earlier a few nights ago. But everybody kept pouring me drinks.

@ Guggi:
Sorry, don’t know why link doesn’t work, but here the transcript
——————
The transcript of Jihadi Fan Club’s video “Ground Zero Mosque: The Best Muslim Response” is as follows: “Assalamulaken to all the Muslims out there and hello to all the non-Muslims out there. As you may have already heard, a lot of people don’t want to see a mosque being built at Ground Zero, and the reason it is is because they’re saying by building a mosque at Ground Zero, it’s pretty much making a dedication to the ideology that caused 9/11. But the reality is the only ideology that caused 9/11 was American foreign policy. And the only religion you have to blame for 9/11 is American foreign policy. The American government for decades thought it could go into the Muslim world and rape, rob, and pillage the Muslim people like it did the native Americans and you could enslave us like you did the millions of black Africans in this country. And you thought you could get away with doing this without feeling retaliation, and the thing is, that’s just ridiculous. You know, it’s called karma, what goes around comes around. You reep [sic] what you sow. Or as our brother Malcom X says, the chickens coming home to roost.”
“Jihadi Fan Club”: “You Pretend Like The World Trade Center and the Pentagon Was a Daycare Center or a Maternity Ward; No – The World Trade Center Was the Epicenter of American Economy That Funds So Much Death And Destruction… If the People Who Did 9/11 Wanted To Kill Innocent People, They Would Have Bombed a School… Church… Daycare Center”
“You go around the world hurting people, putting sanctions on them, making their children die of diseases starvation and you think that is acceptable? You think people are just going to sit there and accept that and not fight you back? I mean are you mad, are you crazy? Of course people are going to fight you back. The only people you have to blame is your government because your government knew that what it was doing was wrong, and that possibly people would have attacked. But instead of your government caring about the people of America and saying, ‘You know what, if we do something wrong, maybe people might attack us,’ they did it wrong anyway not thinking about the wellbeing of the American people. And now that the government has done something wrong and people did attack in retaliation, you want to blame the victims, the people who attacked because America was hurting them in the first place.
“And another thing is, people want to say, ‘Well, the people who did 9/11, they attacked innocent people.’ Well not necessarily; you pretend like the World Trade Center and the Pentagon was a daycare center or a maternity ward. No. The World Trade Center was the epicenter of American economy that funds so much death and destruction in the Muslim world. And the Pentagon was the epicenter of the military, which pretty much enforces and executes America’s oppression all over the world. If the people who did 9/11 wanted to kill innocent people, they would have bombed a school, they would have bombed a church, they would have bombed a daycare center, they would have bombed a grocery store. No. 9/11 was done as a symbiotic thing to say that we are not going to take your B.S. anymore, and we’re going to destroy your economy, we’re going to destroy your military, and we’re going to destroy your unity. And those are the three things that have happened. You come into our countries and you start – after 9/11 – you invaded our countries, and ever since then your economy has been in intensive care, ever since then, your country has been divided, and ever since then, your military has been spread out to ineffectiveness. So, in other words, you need, Americans need to wake up, use 9/11 as a time of reflection to see what they’re doing is wrong, and fixing your own problems instead of blaming Islam and the Muslims for the consequences of their actions.”
More Comments From “Jihad Fan Club” on Other Jihad Videos Posted on His YouTube Page – Including Support For Fighting the American Government and For Americans to Join Al-Qaeda
Jihadi Fan Club’s YouTube page includes “Favorite Videos” featuring Anwar Al-Awlaki, American Al-Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn, and Malcolm X. Other comments posted on this page include praising for Al-Qaeda, Americans joining Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and support for violent revolution. The following are examples, from this summer:
Muslim Hypocrites Refusing to Condemn American Terrorism: “Stand for the Mujadhideen!”
August 12, 2010: “Killing the innocent is WORNG, but CNN has an EVIL agenda which is to trick you into thinking that terrorism is caused by misguided Muslims instead of U.S. foreign policy. They also want you to spend your time condemning terrorist attacks instead of using your power to fight against the American government, its puppet regimes and its allies which is the cause of all the violence in the Muslim world and the terror attacks in the US & Canada. Oh Muslims please do not be fooled by these evil disbelievers and their Muslim lap dogs. A real Muslim is always harsh towards the non Muslims and lenient towards the Muslims. These hypocritical Muslims will condemn Muslims that attack the West yet will not condemn American terrorism even though America is the cause of much of the trouble we face today. Let’s not try to be like those who that try to please the disbelievers. Stand for the Mujahideen! Stand for your honor! Stand for Islam!”
More Americans Are Joining Al-Shabaab! Praise Be to Allah!
August 5, 2010: “American Muslims from all races and ethnicities are starting to give up their sparkling shopping malls, video games, hamburgers and other comforts of American life style to join the fight against the crusaders that have invaded Somalia.”
Why Muslims Hate the American Government
July 28, 2010: “People believe that 9/11 happened because Muslims hated Americas freedom, Americas ‘liberated’ women, and wanted 72 virgins. But as a Muslim I beg to differ. Americas foreign policy was the cause for 9/11 and much anti Americanism in the Muslim world. But when I tell people this I am labeled an ‘extremist,’ ‘radical,’ or ‘terrorist.’
Kabul Dreams (Afghan Rock Band): America Forcing Secularism on Muslims
July 6, 2010: “Another example on America’s war on Islam. In Islam the use of musical instruments is not allowed. Therefore the Taliban made the playing of musical instruments illegal.
Today the Americans are undoing Islamic Law and enforcing secular law by making instrumental music permissible. Should stand not support this band (Kabul Dreams) or the secularism the West tries to impose on us.”
Osama bin Laden Predicted the Economic Collapse of America
June 30, 2010: “Michael Scheuer speaks on Osama Bin Ladens goal was to collapse the American economy, divide the country and weaken the military through war. Funny enough this is EXACTLY what is happening. Scheuer also talks about how Bin Ladens adherence to Islam is what makes him better than the secular Muslim rulers.”
Adam Gadahn Says How Obama Can End Terrorism
June 21, 2010: “Adam Gadahn explains EXACTLY what Muslims want Obama to do in order for there to be peace. Until these demands are met there will always be conflict.”
TRUE Muslims are Not Afraid of Violent Revolution
June 17, 2010: “The West and the puppet regimes of the Muslim world will NEVER end their oppression through pacifism. They have NO intentions of practicing justice. Using dialogue is the best way to end oppression. However, our oppressors only seem to respond to violence. There is nothing un-Islamic with physically fighting your oppressors. Stand for the Mujahideen! Stand for justice! Stand for Islam!”

@ Guggi:
Good God; my mom was right. They really are worse than the Japanese who bombed Pearl Harbor. Not everyone in Japan agreed with the attack, but there don’t seem to be very many Muslims out there who will condemn 9/11. Where are their consciences? Who could want a mosque near Ground Zero after this?
