Eugene Armstrong, one of two Americans and a Briton who were kidnapped last week in Iraq, has been beheaded and his body has been recovered.
Rusty at mypetjawa has
the relevant information and has a link to the video should you choose
to watch it for reasons other than you're a perverted fuck who gets
their jollies from watching beheading videos. I watched it. Tears are
pouring down my cheeks. I'm literally shaking with fury and disgust,
and not a little bit of fear. Oh, my God. Poor, poor man. Folks, if you
watch the video, you will know who your enemy is. Your enemy is not
George W. Bush. Your enemy is not Tony Blair. Your enemy is not even
the French. Your enemies are radical islamic terrorists who think
beheading someone is the best way to get what they want. Your enemies
are radical islamic terrorists who---ahem---WOULDN'T THINK TWICE ABOUT DOING THE SAME THING TO YOU SIMPLY BECAUSE YOU'RE A WESTERNER.
And that's not a bit of hyperbole I've thrown out there to enliven my
writing, or to make you pay attention. It's the awful truth of the
situation. It would be Al-Zarqawi's wet dream to come to America and
start doing this to each and every citizen of this country. And if
you're not clear about that, or you think it's Bush who should be
decapitated and that you'd pay good money to see that, you have your
priorities in the wrong place. No amount of understanding them and their "plight" is going to change the plain and simple fact that they want to kill you. Do you think they bother to understand us?
You don't think Zarqawi orgasmed himself ten-fold when his henchmen
brought in two Americans and a Briton? This is a man who stood, hooded,
behind a shaking and weeping Eugene Armstrong and calmly read a
manifesto for six minutes. He eagerly handed the piece of paper he'd
been reading from, salaamed and then whipped a knife from its scabbard
and went after poor, bound and blindfolded Eugene Armstrong for no other reason than that he was an American.
Think about that for a minute, would you? Eugene Armstrong deserves as much.
These men do not give quarter. They do not want to understand you. They do not want more diversity of belief and thought in the world. They want everyone in the world to be like them. To believe what they believe and they will stop at nothing
to get what they want. There is no chance to "make peace" with these
people. If you learned nothing on 9/11 perhaps you should learn this:
these people don't want a truce. They will never want a truce. They
want war. They've been taught to revel in death, that there is much
glory to be found in a previously ignominious life if they kill
infidels. And guess what, my western friend, you are their enemy. Learn
that. It might keep you alive one day. Oh, that poor, poor man. My
thoughts and prayers go out to Eugene's family.
