Part of the Appeasement process I suppose. Thinking goes like this - 'If I don't put a Bible
in a Muslim's locker, his mates from Al Quaeda won't try to blow up the plane...'

Is this for real?....these idiots and the like will make sure that this monster is going to make us worship it for fear we will offend it.

Why would airline employees be passing out bibles at work? Did this happen or did a muslim employee (of which there should be none in that industry) just complain to get attention. I have never in any job I have ever been employed in had a bible given to me by a co-worker...however if the airline felt compelled to release that type of a memo it should have included ALL religious material....interesting that american airlines, the airline that was hijacked by muslims and used to kill americans is worried about offending muslims...at least we know how the muslims got on the plane that day..."oh yes mr. atta, of course we understand that a box cutter is a religious symbol, forgive us for checking your bag sir"...

You are exactly right! religion of any kind should not be pushed in the workplace. I aoo have never had a religious tract of any kind given to me at work. It really does sound like harrassment and the memo should have said NO RELIGIOUS Materials OF ANYKIND ALLOWED TO BE GIVEN TO ANYONE AT WORK PERIOD!

i applaud the few who are aware of the islamic
problem in the west. but have you taken a look a popular american culture lately?

a few examples that i have personally noticed:

ads for viagra on prime time t.v.

hords of people flocking to watch sexually illicit and violent movies.

jokes in the work place about being lesbian.

coworkers calling other cooworkers 'god' or
'the devil'.

Christ and christianity mocked for years in the media.

a billboard along the interstate with a state
representative promoting 'GAY PRIDE MONTH'.

i don't like to see islam growing, but perhaps in the Lord's eyes america is ready for judgement and islam is his intrument along with
'encouraging' jews to go home to israel.

this could explain why those in 'authority'
are blind to the threat.

Geez, what are y'all afraid of? So someone gives you a religious track. So what? Is it the end of the world? Are you going to die? Are you going to suffer for years? Are you even going to be embarassed? I feel that employees should be able to hand out whatever they darn well feel like at work, whether it be Korans, Bibles, anything of a religious or anti-religious nature. After all, you don't cease being who you are just because you're at work.

In our quest to defeat jihad, let's not put the first Amendment on the altar (for those of you in the States). Indeed, a way to fight Islam is through the freedom to openly discuss religious matters, not this PC nonsense about self-censoring ourselves for the benefit of our would-be-murderers.

If you are so worried by a few ads or movies[which
you don't have to watch] and are upset by gay posters perhaps you'd prefer to live under Sharia Law?? As for your reasoning that 'America is being
punished', what twaddle! You sound the sort who burnt witches a few centuries earlier.

Posted by: Morgane at July 23, 2004 2:59 PM

my point was clear:

the moral and theological climate of the west
has been on a downslide for years.

this is one reason why islamic spokesman
are confident of the triumph of islam.

reject the grace of God as found in Messiah
Yeshua and accept mohammed and islam:

america is indeed violating genesis 12.3
by becoming 'eternal friends' with israel's eternal enemy: saudi arabia.

so we'll see who is rite eventually.

just keep 'watching' the progress of jihad.

by the way: i advocate non-violence.

but the God of the Bible has clearly stated
what will become of Messiah's enemies.

psalm 2

twiddle twaddle

While neither the Bible, nor the Quran, nor the Torah, nor the Book of Mormon, nor the Baghavad Gita, nor the Adi Granth of Guru Nanak, nor any similar sacred text should be placed in the locker or cubicle of someone who has not requested it, one hopes that the policy will be expressed in a way that shows it is not intended to spare Muslims alone some intolerable affront -- "harassment" is surely a bit much, when the problem might better be described as a lack of tact.

One does hope no one will see fit to banish the bibles left hither and yon by the Wandering Tribe of Gideonites. Whether found next to the local Yellow Pages in some adulterous motel on a boulevard of broken dreams, or in one of those refurbished late 19th century resort hotels, reopened under new management and described in the enthusastic literature of the retained PR firms as "grandes dames," those Gideon Bibles are a comforting presence. Like the flag of Barbara Freitchie, they should not be touched.

Forestshalom, you DISGUST me.

You think that "god" wants Islam to conquer the world because of some sexual ads, and gay pride parades?

Why do you want to divert attention from the growing threat of Islam, and talk instead about sex in society, which people have been talking about since the Sixties?

It's people like you, whom we don't need.

Posted by: Voltaire at July 23, 2004 5:52 PM

These politically correct policies, not wanting to offend the "Muslims" are just part and parcel of the insane left wing agenda in this country.

The comfort of the few has become more important than the safety of the many.

As America sinks down into the abyss of left wing liberalisim,the enemy will benefit from our allowing the weaking of our great nation.

Posted by: Son of Infidel at July 23, 2004 6:05 PM

Forrestshalom,

I am in full agreement with you!

As for Voltarie he obviously is suffering from the disease of left wing liberalism and possibly is plagued by the affliction of homosexuality.

Posted by: Son of Infidel at July 23, 2004 6:38 PM

Voltaire
Thanks for the support.

Forestshalom )Lay off Gay Bashing Please.
Son of Infidel )Goes for both of you.

Do you want to defeat Islam or attack your fellow
columnists because of some ridiculous prejudice?
Maybe you'd better go over to the Muslim side and
see Gays burned alive...Also they can offer stonings and amputations to participate in ,punishing the Ungodly.

Posted by: Morgane at July 23, 2004 6:59 PM

Wow to think we could become more "MORAL" by trading in viagara (perhaps that touched on a nerve for someone) ads and gay pride parades for public beheadings and legalized wife beating...oh what a moral society we would be...what a load of BS

Posted by: USAgirl at July 23, 2004 7:04 PM

USAGIRL, I don't recall anyone suggesting this. There are some of us who would prefer that people keep their sex lives private.

BTW, isn't calling the denunciation of homosexuality gay bashing the same as calling the denunciation of dhimmitude Muslim bashing?
Anything to shut down dialogue.

Posted by: lafn at July 23, 2004 10:14 PM

Well lafn...I dont see one post above mine so evidently I wasnt responding to you. I would definatly prefer you keep your sex life private, thanks for that in advance. I was replying to the statements regarding viagara ads and gay pride parades, these are expamples of a free society, you are free to take part or free not to, if there is someone that is unhappy living in the unmoral American society, they are also FREE to leave.

Posted by: USAgirl at July 23, 2004 10:50 PM

USAgirl,

Why should any society have to be subjected to the(public) vile and abnormal sexual exploites of any group, heterosexual or homosexual.

If you haven't noticed it is the homosexual males that deliberately flaunt(publicly) their sexual behavior.

I don't know where you reside, but here in New York this is most prevelant.

I will give you a good example.Over the years I have belonged to many health clubs and the homomsexual men would think nothing of engauging sexual activities in the sauna and steam room.

Many homosexual men behave like dogs in heat,(no disrespect to canines)with no self control.

Our society has degenerated where sex and violence is most prevelant,just look around,television,film etc...

A good enviorment for our childern.

Son of Infidel

If you would like to go to the anti-homosexual forum, then good. But this is an anti-Islamic forum, and I'm tired of people bringing in their own personal agenda into this forum.

Posted by: Voltaire at July 24, 2004 7:15 AM

Voltaire,

My statements are relevant and based on "facts".

If you are offened by the truth,then that is your problem.

The homosexual "life style" is, certianly not my agenda in life.

Futhermore, several of your comments make reference to contacting homosexual organizations, evidently this is your "agenda".

If I choose to comment on other topics other than "Islam", I shall. Here in America there is the "First Amendment",have you ever heard of it.

Have a nice day

Posted by: Son of Infidel at July 24, 2004 9:43 AM

As I said before, the threat of islam is real, they will kill anyone who is non muslim...lets be concerned with the enemy. If 2 men in pink shorts are kissing on the corner, I can choose not to look, if a muslim is flying a plane into a building I may have no choice but to be slaughtered.

I hate looking at muslim women all covered up, it is offensive to me as a woman that these women are forced to be submissive and swelter in the heat while their male counterparts wear shorts and tee shirts, I hate seeing the men in dressed and coffee filter hats roaming the streets on fridays, I hate watching muslim women follow behind the men like obediant dogs, all these things I find personally offensive, however it is their RIGHT to do so and there is little I can do except not look. Muslim men are flaunting their control and dominance over their women in public and my sons have to be subjected to looking at this as well. My husband and I have worked hard to raise our sons to be respectful to women, so hopefully what they see will not have a bearing on what they do. Same goes for them seeing homosexuals, I seriously doubt that seeing gays will make anyone else gay, no more than seeing straight people made me straight...hell I dont know what made me straight. Lets not get sidetracked by gay issues or get upset by seeing viagara ads on TV, lets focus on what the issues are that are endangering our lives....trust me after the next islamic attack on the US, the homosexuals will be the last thing you will be worried about. Fighting and argueing about how immoral the US is...is exactly what the enemy is counting on...divide and conquer.

PS..I grew up in NY and lived there for 21 years

Posted by: USAgirl at July 24, 2004 4:35 PM

USAgirl,

I am well aware of the clear and present danger of Islam and I have seen first hand the death and destruction that was purportated by these evil bastards on September 11th,2001.

Futhermore I am as disturbed as you are by the subjugation of women under Islam.

My recent statements concerning homosexuals where in responce to a posting by Voltaire.I have stated my position concerning this issue and shall not address it again unless it is neseccary.

The deterioration of our society brought about by left wing liberalism and the politically correct crowd is destroying this country.

As the United States continues to sink down into the abyss of imorality and decadence, the enemy will only benefit from the weaking of what was a great nation

I am clearly focused on the issue at hand and have not been distracted by my previous comments.

Posted by: Son of Infidel at July 24, 2004 6:30 PM

I work for a company that had a large law suit against them by a worker that claimed there was a hostile workplace. Myself and all other employee's had to sign a document declaring we attended a class on cultural sentivity given by two lawyers from a large firm. To keep our jobs we had to agree to be responsible for any minority worker being offended by any comments deemed as an attack on them.I'll give you the condensed version,there's a new injury called the soft-skull trauma,something being heard or overheard that enters the brain and causes stress or a traumatic experience,is a valid reason for being fired. This intimidation tactic uses financial terrorism to force Companies to blame all workers for a comment made by one worker.
There's not much humour anymore and even the Gay workers are pissed off,it leaked out that two workers joked about their own heritage and a nosey gossip listened in and took offence.
Here's the main problem in the new rules,we were told that if we don't invite a co-worker out for drinks with the gang,that is stressful and alienating to the worker not asked to go.But,if we do ask the person to come along we are responsible if anything offends them in a bar or adult restaurant.
Needless to say,office parties are history and jokes can get you fired,and yes,the whiner was
a middle east person with thin skin and big ears.
One of the two jokers was also from the middle east and they now fear losing their job.
Just wait until Arabs and Muslims are in the majority,with this much power now it will be hell
once their revenge becomes legal under the new Islamic parties that get voted into our political system.
