Hi, my name is Samir Khan. I’m 21, and I cheer on the jihad from my parents’ basement in North Carolina. Watch my cool video. (And, no, I haven’t signed the letter.)

I realize that America is supposed to be the “home of the free” and that she was built on the premise that all could come here and believe whatever they wanted to belive without persecution, but when someone believes and openly states that they believe that America and Americans should be destroyed and that makes them happy, is there not something wrong with this picture?

Tammie, if we eliminationist rhetoric should be supressed and the speakers jailed, then there are a lot of Republicans that belong in the pokey.
Eliminationism is as American as apple pie.

Ignore the superfluous “we” (third word) above.

Remember the Isralite military campaign to conquer the “Promised Land?” That was eliminationist or extermination. Joshua’s military strategies were brilliant. No surprise here because he was the understudy of one of the best military minds of the middle east….Moses. The word “Israelite” struck terror in the hearts of all the small cities in Canaan. That’s why 5 city state kings tried to attack Joshua at Gibeon in the Mountains near Jerusalem. Joshua knew their strategy and moved his entire army through the night from Jericho and attacked the coalition at sunrise with the sun to his back. WOW…I’m glad we are on his side.
In the mid to late 19th century it was considered doing the work of the Lord God to fulfill the “Manifest Destiny” of english speaking people to spread across this great land of ours and exterminate the indigenous peoples when they got in the way. WOW…I’m glad we are on their side.
The Talaban/Alquida are brilliant too. They are way out numbered. They have a sense of mission as deep as any ever known to man. We just don’t think they are right. Well, I feel threatened, and the security of my family, friends, and way of life as I know it is threatened. Once again, we are faced with genocide.
Only, this time we are the target.
Does that have anything to do with whether they are right or wrong?
