You have to see this propaganda my brother sent me:

[liberal N proud]

From the title of the email, I thought that maybe it was about waking up from the stupor this nation has been in for the last 6 years.
WAS I ever shocked:

Email titled: AMERICA IN TROUBLE

The message contained only this link: http://www.usawakeup.org/

When I got into the web site, I screamed... Then I responded to my brother and everyone else he sent the message to.

Below is the first few paragraphs from the web site. These fuckers are scary!

FUTURE AMERICA?

You awake each day to the Muslim muezzin call to prayer from the neighborhood mosque - as millions of Europeans already do.

Liberals espouse “diversity is our strength” as Islamic enforcers cruise the cities in their quest to shutter, or harass any establishment that is contrary to Islamic “sharia” Law. Guns are confiscated and stiff penalties are dished out to citizens who defy the new anti-gun laws. Women are told to cover their hair and face when in public.

You are cautious about attending public events or being part of any large crowd as these are the favorite targets of suicide bombers in their quest to exhibit violence against non-Muslims who resist conversion or surrender. Dissent has been stifled since the Fairness Doctrine was reinstated.

A new Senator is sworn in, one of several Senators that have recently converted to the Muslim faith. Muslim populated districts are increasingly changing the political landscape by sending more electees to Congress.

A recent ruling from the Supreme Court states sharia law does not violate the “separation of church and state.” This ruling paves the way for Islamic controlled municipalities to govern every aspect of religious, political, and personal life of the local populace-- .

The Hollywood Left gives up gay rights in favor of the much safer charms of polygamy.

1. Muslims I know don't go around

forcing conversions, as it is against our faith to do so. We're not like certain sects of Christians who come knocking at the door. :) But the right needs a bogeyman--and Islam isn't well known, so it makes a good target.

[aquart]

6. So it would be in bad taste to mention

the Flaming Sword of Islam or the method by which so many many people became Muslims?

I'm glad you've all cut that stuff out, but no patriarchal religion took power by acclamation.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

26. Let me kindly remind you

we are talking about the here and now, and not history. If we were to do that, as you well know, we could cite examples of Christian forced conversion as well--though we know that it is not done now, either. The point is to counter lies about Islam as it is practiced today.

BTW, I assume you are talking about the Ottoman Turks, by and large, with your reference. I did google it and didn't find the term being used to describe an historical, documented event.

[theoldman]

2. I hope that your brother does not believe this BS.

[liberal N proud]

4. I didn't think he was this stupid

I do have two brothers who give military intelligence a bad name but this one I thought was better informed.

My response to him was:

Oh MY GOD!

Spreading hate, that sure makes sense!



I will give him a larger piece of my mind once my rage over the article subsides. I was shocked that came from my own family.

[triguy46]

3. Woohoo!!! Tulsa Made the list!!!

This is so exciting!!!

[sutz12]

5. "Safer charms of polygamy"......?

:wtf:

[shenmue]

12. Yeah, that one baffles me too.

Total hate and nonsense. :crazy:

[peacetalksforall]

7. This represents the perfect profile of the voter PNAC and Rove finessed.

This person learned his/her lesson perfectly. Will vote Republican for the rest of his/her life.

Now, someone reading DU several years ago, might laugh at the fears expressed about PNAC, Cheney and their teams. It all checked out. What this man/woman is outlining is pure, exposed, ultra phobias. (If anything, we'll all be writing rent checks in Chinese characters. Just joking. But, our debt is not a joke - we should ask they fella/girl what they think about the debt to get rid of 'terrahists'.

[Rosemary2205]

28. The PNAC crowd is NOT afraid of Islam or Muslims.

That's just pile of BS they hand out the fundies. PNAC wants the oil. The fundies want the Dome of Rock Mosque blown straight to hell and replaced with a new Jewish temple so Jeeeesus can come back. If the PNAC can use the fundies for their own good then why not. :sarcasm:

[Nickster]

8. It always amazes me that they can't look in the mirror and see how much they really

have in common with the muslim extremists. How they try to project what they would have done in the US onto what supposedly Liberals would do. I see much more commonality between the Pat Robertson types in this country and fundamentalist, extremist muslims.

[Straight Shooter]

9. I strongly suspect that paranoia is as addictive as heroin. n/t

[Warpy]

14. It is, plus it's

at least 100 times more destructive. It kills the soul.

[Odin2005]

10. OMG, what a bunch of BS.

Sure, Europe is currently having some problems getting muslum immigrants to assimilate, but I find the crap about "Eurabia" spewed by paranoid paleocons to be downright absurd.

[MrSlayer]

11. This is just plain idiocy.

This will never happen in America.

[Canuckistanian]

13. Bravo! So many boogeymen in one short paragraph

Muslims.

Yurpeans.

Liberals.

Gun banning.

The Fairness Doctrine.

The Supreme Court.

"Hollywood Left"

And who could leave out...

Gays.

[EstimatedProphet]

15. You should take your brother's hood away

That is some of the most blatantly racist crap I have ever seen. Incredibly stupid too, but that goes without saying.

This is my favorite line:

Dissent has been stifled since the Fairness Doctrine was reinstated.

That has to be one of the stupidest things ever said in history. It's right up there with shooting someone causes them to become alive, and gravity makes things fall away from the Earth.

[MN ChimpH8R]

16. Let me get this straight

20,000 or so armed "jihadis" (for that's a decent guess about how many committed ones there are) are going to mount a military assault on the United States with no real army, no navy, no air force, no ICBMs yet are going to somehow manage to conquer the country and force everyone to be assimilated by the Borg, er, convert to Islam. Um-huh. Ohhhkaaaaaaay.

And monkeys will fly out of my ass. :eyes:

Jeebus, take your freaking medications and STFU!!

[MLFerrell]

17. Your brother is a racist asshole.

n/t

[Greyhound]

23. Religious bigot yes, but it doesn't make him a racist, although he

may well be that too.

[ovidsen]

18. Now THAT'S slick!

That's one of most skillfully produced anti-Islamic propadanga (or pornograpy) I've ever seen. Scary stuff. I can see why the average American who watches TV news maybe once a week, listens to Rush and Hannity regularly, and only buy a newspaper every 2 or 3 days to read the sports section and snip coupons could fall for it hook, line and sinker. Or is that hook lie and sinker?

Muslim famiies, clans and tribes have been killing eachother for centuries. The idea of dropping their differences and merging into one well-organized, well disciplined entity who agree on a "single" plan to destroy the West is a pipe-dream, embraced by only a few Muslims and a minority (I hope) of Americans.

I'm noy saying there aren't a few self-described Muslims who have wet-dreams over this paradigm, and we must be viligant in preventing them from executing another 9/11, but there are too many different Muslim sects in too many countries with too many different languages and customs for this global jihad to ever to happen. The vast majority of the world's Muslims are too busy keeping a roof over their heads and food on their families tables to drop everything to travel thousands of miles and take up arms against an enemy they barely understand.

Trouble is, this deplorabe video will be watched by the above mentioned American know-nothings who will believe every word in it Next thing you know we'll be waging war against iran.

[Cobalt-60]

19. If the muzzein has a good singing voice

and I don't have to prostrate with the faitfull - so what?

[Richard Steele]

20. Y'know what's REALLY scary? Just change "Muslim" to "Christian"....and we're already almost there.

Almost.

[liberal N proud]

22. I did that in a second reply

I took out Muslim and interjected Christian
I also replaced Hitler with Bu$h and provided more accurate numbers for the day, then sent it back to him.

I am just sitting here waiting for Agent Mike to show up now.

[Crunchy Frog]

21. The21st century version of red baiting.

Pretty much identical, only "Muslim" replaces "Communism". Really, I can remember when I used to read about how the Russians were going to be raping my grandmother if we didn't build a new missile system. :eyes:

[salin]

24. Ask him how this scenario comes about.

They don't have a vision for that - because it is more than improbable.

Is there a massive invasion and occupation (from where does this massive force that can subdue our own come?)

Or do they think that Bushco is so inept at national security and homeland security that this is a possibility?

Of course that isn't the point - keeping people in a fear frenzy is the point.

[jmowreader]

25. They're not even CREATIVE racists!

It looks to me like they went to one of the Klan's websites (yes, there are KKK websites, and some of them show great creativity), copied and pasted the opening text, and changed "black," "Jew" or "Mexican" to Muslim.

And isn't it always cute that liberals and Hollywood get blamed for this shit? Last I checked, none of the people who ignored the 8/6/2001 PDB were liberals.

[Toots]

27. Dissent has been stifled since the Fairness Doctrine was reinstated

If only that were the case.....What an absurd statement....
