I don't know if you will agree with this or not,  Make your own
mind up. These are the facts.
Be sure to read the 13 statements near the bottom of this mail.  These 13
statements concern basically only the gross incidents involving  mostly,
American incidents.  There are many more involving other countries who were
attacked by the basic kind and age group as that stated in the  first 13
incidents.


ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ

=====================================================

>  >>> WAS WRITTEN BY A SPANISH WRITER ABOUT SPAIN AND EUROPE.
>  >>> ALL EUROPEAN LIFE DIED IN AUSCHWITZ By Sebastian Vilar Rodrigez(*)

I walked down the street in Barcelona, and suddenly discovered a  terrible
truth - Europe died in Auschwitz . We killed six million Jews and replaced
them with 20 million Muslims.
In Auschwitz we burned a  culture, thought, creativity, talent. We destroyed
the chosen people, truly chosen, because they produced great and wonderful
people who changed  the world.
The contribution of this people is felt in all areas of life: science,
art, international trade, and above all, as the conscience of the
world.
These are the people we burned.
And under the pretense of tolerance, and because we wanted to prove to
ourselves that we were cured of the disease of racism, we opened our gates
to 20 million Muslims, who brought us stupidity and ignorance, religious
extremism and lack of tolerance, crime and poverty, due to  an unwillingness
to work and support their families with pride.
They have turned our beautiful Spanish cities into the third world,
drowning in filth and crime.
Shut up in the apartments they receive free from the government, they plan
the murder and destruction of their naive hosts.
And thus, in our misery, we have exchanged culture for fanatical
hatred, creative skill for destructive skill,  intelligence for
backwardness and superstition.
We have exchanged the pursuit of peace of the Jews of Europe and their
talent for hoping for a better future for their children, their determined
clinging to life because life is holy, for those who pursue death, for
people consumed by the desire for death for themselves and others, for our
children and theirs.
What a terrible mistake was made by miserable Europe.

A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine
America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience  to themselves.
Absolutely No Profiling! Pause a moment, reflect back, and take the

9. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by:
        a. Richard Simmons
        b. Grandma Moses
        c. Michael Jordan
        d. Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

10 In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by:

         b. Hillary Clinton, to distract attention from Wild Bill's women
problems
         c. The World Wrestling Federation

No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?
So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent
on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to
profile certain people.
They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline
pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are  members of the
President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and
Medal of Honor winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but  leave Muslim Males
between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.


Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria Aldreds and
other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices that  want to
thwart common sense, feel ashamed of themselves -- if they have any such
sense
As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put it,
"Stupid is as stupid does."
Our Country and our troops need our support.

P. S. And guess who bombed London?

I am afraid however most governments have welcomed so many to their shores that they cannot fix the situation now, given their democratic policy's and reluctance or inability to make exceptions; the main motivating reason allowing this time bomb to develop is ABSOLUTE  FEAR on behalf of officials world wide.

------------------------------------------
Their fear is justified because :

How do you defend your peoples against those who will strap a explosive device on and  cause the death of many  innocent people because you  might have offended  one of them or one of there ideologies?

How can the governments defend their peoples against a group that will not follow that countries rules of their society, but instead insist on bringing their own nonconforming,violent,hate based,totalitarian rules with them? 

How can the governments defend their peoples against a group that has no respect for people of different persuasions--  to the extent that their doctrine instructs them to kill those not in compliance,and they WILL when told, follow that doctrine.

How can the governments defend their peoples against a group whose mothers celebrate the self annihilation of their children.

How can the governments defend their peoples against a group who allow and insist their children  take knives to school?

How can the governments defend their peoples against a group where the men have little or no respect for their spouses?

How can the governments defend their peoples against a group that has no fear of dieing and few conforming morals?

How can the governments defend their peoples against a group who follows a God who instructs them to eliminate all those who do not subscribe to his law?

A person could add many many more thoughts that show it impossible for the melding of this society's members into a civilized 21st century society anywhere in the world. I do not envies the government officials who are dealing with this great dilemma of democracies world wide.

It is the VETERAN , not the preacher,

Who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the VETERAN , not the reporter,

Who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the VETERAN , not the poet,

Who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the VETERAN , not the campus organizer,

Who has given us freedom to assemble.

It is the VETERAN , not the lawyer,

Who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the VETERAN , not the politician,

Who has given us the right to vote.

 

It is the VETERAN ,

Who salutes the Flag,

 

It is the veteran ,

Who serves under the Flag,

 

ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.

 

I don't usually suggest that many emails be forwarded, but I'd be EXTREMELY proud if this one reached as many as possible. We can be very proud of our young men and women in the service no matter where they serve.

God Bless them all!!!
