"If the terrorists weren't killing people in Russia, they'd be
doing it in the midwest."

This was said to me by an acquaintance this evening. I asked him where he got that idea and he said, "It's a fact!" So I said "back it up, then, what are your sources for this?" and he said, "I just know."

Well. I asked him what kind of security clearance he had to make him privvy to such information. He responded by saying we should "kill all Muslims. Let God sort 'em out."

I asked him if he was a Christian and he said yes. I said I was disturbed that a fellow Christian would say such a thing. He stammered.

I walked away.

(Where did he get the idea the Chechnyans would be killing people in the midwest???? Fox? Cheney?)

1. Where'd he get the idea that all terrorists are Muslims?
The only terrorist attack I recall in the midwest was in Oklahoma City, and it was carried out by blue-eyed blonde-haired American White Supremacists.

2. He thinks if
Kerry were in office, he'd just allow terrorists to come here and attack people.

Uh-huh. I should have said, "You mean like bush did?"

But I thought that might make him a bit ballistic and my daughter was with me.

3. Yeah, our military isn't streched out enough
Let's invade Chechnya, too. As long as we grab Monaco and it gets handed over to me, I'm happy.

8. He is not alone
Other freepers use the same logic. Of course, there are billions of Muslims, you could not possibly "kill them all", but sadly, they just can't comprehend this idea.

5. "kill all Muslims. Let God sort 'em out."
There should be a sanity test for voting.

6. You clearly need to do some research.
Clearly Chechnya is trying to separate from the midwest United States, but we won't let them. Governor Vladmir Putin of Illinois just doesn't want to. Obviously.

7. Well, where did they get an
idea that Iraqis were terrorists involved in 911?
They are obviously confused.
