FREE SPEECH IS A WONDERFUL THING

Last night I went with my friend Rena to see the movie United 93. I think the last film I went to see was Harry Potter, so you can see that as much as I love movies I am not a big theatre goer.

But this film I felt was important to see.

I had so many questions. How did they get on those planes that awful day, September 11, 2001? How did they take control of them? And what happened on United 93?

After two hours of clutching my purse, the arm rests, and Rena, my arms still ache this morning. I wasn’t even aware that I was ‘white knuckling’.

I walked away with more questions than answers. Oh, I know now how they got on and how they took over and what they think happened. Another scary part was when the credits came on at the end they gave a list of names followed by the words ‘AS HIMSELF’…oy.

OK. So here are my questions for today: How come there are oodles of amateur and professional movies of the twin towers that day and not ONE picture of a plane going into the Pentagon? How come not one tourist was there? How come not one security photo was taken? I mean there are surveillance machines in parking lots and banks, for heaven’s sake, and not ONE in and around the Pentagon?

And since the Pentagon is not a skyscraper, how come not one person ducked as that so-called plane flew inches (ok meters) above the ground in order to hit that building?

And how come no one is talking?

Oh, wait. One man is talking. THE POPE. Bless him.

Pope Benedict had quoted from a book recounting a conversation between 14th century Byzantine Christian Emperor Manuel Paleologos II and an educated Persian on the truths of Christianity and Islam.
“The emperor comes to speak about the issue of jihad, holy war,” the Pope said.
“He said, I quote, ‘Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached,”‘ he quoted the emperor as saying.
The Pope did not explicitly agree with nor repudiate the comment.

Well now! How dare he! (Bless him)

So now all those same Muslims are ENRAGED…and demanding that THE POPE get up and apologize and make nice-nice.

But what I want to know is what exactly did the Pope say that was wrong?

The truth is that not every Muslim is a terrorist…it’s just that every terrorist is a Muslim.

Wake up, little Suzie, WAKE UP.

The chutzpah of them. You all know the definition of ‘chutzpah’…a person who is on trial for murdering his parents demands clemency from the court because he’s an orphan… ‘chutzpah’.

So, as I see it, the situation in the world is like this. On the one hand, we have a bunch of very bad people murdering, killing, kidnapping, building bombs, hiding them in residential buildings, blowing up other people’s buildings, blowing up busses, and cutting off people’s heads in front of a camera. Did I leave anything out?

Oh, yes! And threatening the entire free world. It’s not a secret. They keep shrying it from the mosques, and from the televisions and newspapers.

Next Attack Imminent: Muslims ordered to leave the United States by Paul L. Williams
Urgent news from Abu Dawood, one of the newly appointed commanders of the al Qaeda forces in Afghanistan:
Final preparations have been made for the American Hiroshima, a major attack on the U.S.
Muslims living in the United States should leave the country without further warning.
The attack will be commandeered by Adnan el Shukrijumah ("Jaffer Tayyer" or "Jafer the Pilot"), a naturalized American citizen, who was raised in Brooklyn and educated in southern Florida.
The al Qaeda operatives who will launch this attack are awaiting final orders. They remain in place in cities throughout the country. Many are masquerading as Christians and have adopted Christian names.
Al Qaeda and the Taliban will also launch a major strike (known as the "Badar Operation" against the coalition forces in Afghanistan during the holy month of Ramadan.
The American people probably will be treated to a final audio message from Osama bin Laden which will be aired some time later.

And on the other hand, we have the Pope.

Dear Pope,

Please don’t let these evil people make you back down too. We have enough of that from our governments all over the world. See, the weaker we seem, the stronger they become. Just like any bully.

You may be the last hope of the free world. And, besides, you’re THE POPE, for God’s sake!

If the final days are coming and if you have to go off to the Crusades once again and if you have to fight off Salah ah Din one more time…somebody better draw a line soon.

Me and mine are doing the best we can, but we are a small race now. But that’s another letter and I won’t go into that right now.

Stay safe…thanks for listening.

Love,Marallyn, from Jerusalem.

So, back to my title…where exactly is the ‘free’ in free speech?

Ahhhhhh, I know…‘All pigs are equal…except some pigs are more equal than others.’ I know, I know it’s ‘animals’ but…

Have a great day…stay safe…and thanks for dropping in.
