In the Big Apple: If You See Something, Say Something!

[Breukelen advocaat]

I understand that you're scared, but there is absolutely no need for the level of intolerance that you exhibiting."

Ask the Moslems about "intolerance". I've read Paki newspapers - even the "moderate" Moslems want to take over this whole society and run it according to their religion. This is human nature, but they must not be permitted to do this.

I am not "scared" of these animals. I was "sad" for a long time, after 9/11. And angry, like everybody here. I've since come to terms with it. If I were scared, I wouldn't even live here, or work in the shadows of where the WTC used to be. BTW, I worked in the Trade Centers years ago.

What qualifies YOU to tell us that the Moslem extremists are not a threat to this society? Are you supposed to be some sort of expert, or do you have inside info?

Here's some advice, kid: stick to things that you know, because you don't know shit about this. What streets, if any, did you grow up in? I'd really like to hear some of your story - your ignorance is overwhelming, and there must be some explanation. Are you from a farm, or the suburbs? You can't be from an urban background, at least none that I know of.

People that ride the buses and subways in New York City are constantly barraged with public address system announcements urging citizens to report suspicious packages, people, etc. Well, today I did exactly that. There was a woman, wearing a burka, with packages, on an elevated subway platform. She was sitting in the middle of a row of seats, and nobody was sitting beside her because they were wary. I knew that there was a police officer, below, in the station. I went down the steps and Rating: 5

I can't wait until the USA's conversion to a Christian capitalist utopia is complete. Only then will we be safe from women in fancy hats carrying packages.

i am going to have to go along with the majority this time, you are retarded, and a bigot.

hitler felt that he had won, when he convinced the population to police themselves, congrats lame, you have managed to become an official snitch and slimy collaborator.

I'm not going to take your bait about the "fancy hat" - you know that what I'm talking about is a hood - which nobody in their right mind would wear in public, except maybe on Halloween. Wearing this in the city that has the site of the worst mass murder in the history of the United States is not acceptable in light of the fact that Moslims did it.

You're living in the fantasy world of youth. I'd suggest reading the other posting, by Amsterdam, about what is going on in Holland. It's nothing as compared to 9/11, but it's a disgrace nonetheless.

Geez, these kids -gotta love their idealism. I was like that too, a long time ago. It's embarrassing to remember, when you grow up, but that's the way it's always been.

You'll change, or modify, your values as you mature, gain new awareness, and take on real responsibilities.

Good luck.

That's the funniest thing I've heard here yet! You could do an off-Broadway show, similar to the musical Springtime for Hitler, in The Producers. Perhaps you could call it All Hail Bin Laden, Our Leader! Maybe you could get a bit part, as osama's token non-Arab man-servant.

Absolutely ridiculous. Could you be more paranoid and pathetic? By your logic they should ban all Muslims from being allowed to walk American streets, because mindless, intolerant individuals like yourselves are threatened by the very sight of them. It's called racial profiling idiot, you can't excuse yourself for it. Grow up and learn a little respect and tolerance. If that's too much to ask, go spout your proud bigotry elsewhere.

First: paki newspaper + american newspaper = spreading fear and hate within their own citizens so then the country is easier to govern, because these citizen all of a sudden rely on their government...plus this gets to racism...shall we hate them as much they hate us?

Second: Who told extremist moslim are not a threat? they are, but again shall we put them all in the same basket...

Third: Are you supposed to be some sort of expert, or do you have inside info? If so please tell me i'll be the first to agree with you then...if not please do not rely on news paper to take your information, too much money involved...

Fourth: You try to diminish the credibility of someone on his past and yours and therefor give an opinion that is not objective...And we must not stick to what we already know otherwise we won't know anything else!

Finally: You reaction in the subway if your story is the exact thing that happened was right...you didn't bring down anyone andmade nobody feel bad really, maybe that lady didn't notice the cop...But still we must not spread fear by over reacting to terrorism threat...

This post has no emotional content, therefor please argue and bring down my ideas by an objective un emotional post...thanks

I agree, our country should not be run by anyone's religious beliefs. Not Muslim nor Christian, but someone else's intolerance doesn't justify your own. By doing this you bring America to the same level as Pakistan, and I'm sure that's not your intention.

I am not "scared" of these animals.

Good for you. You don't sound it, but good for you none the less :thumbsup:

I was "sad" for a long time, after 9/11. And angry, like everybody here. I've since come to terms with it. If I were scared, I wouldn't even live here, or work in the shadows of where the WTC used to be. BTW, I worked in the Trade Centers years ago.

Do you think you were the only one who felt that way. I have news for you buddy. They didn't just attack New York City, they attacked America. BTW my father was in the pentagon when it was hit and I lost an aunt in the north tower. How far away from the WTC were you when it was hit asshole?

What qualifies YOU to tell us that the Moslem extremists are not a threat to this society? Are you supposed to be some sort of expert, or do you have inside info?

No, I'm not qualified in any way other than being a rational human being. Sure extremist are set against us, but in your previous posts you didn't have that a narrow of a focus. I don't think that poor woman who caught your ire for nothing more than wearing a burka and having packages was an extremist. Maybe you come to you senses (what little you may have) that you're thoughts that an entire group of people are out to get you are paranoid and delusional.

Here's some advice, kid: stick to things that you know, because you don't know shit about this. What streets, if any, did you grow up in? I'd really like to hear some of your story - your ignorance is overwhelming, and there must be some explanation. Are you from a farm, or the suburbs?

Oh so now you're an expert on the Muslim mentality. Where did you learn about this? The big mean streets of NYC? I hear their school of theology is top notch (it must be, for your illuminating platform that all Muslims are nothing but murderers, tre magnifique!).

You're not very persuasive, and I know that attacking me on a personal level will somehow make you feel like you've accomplished something (you have already got a good start on it), but you should be able to debate this on the facts presented. Your need to attack the person instead of the point is another sign of your "I'm hard. I'm from the streets" ignorant ass mentality, but let me tell you a little about myself any way. I grew up many different places. Yes I lived on a ranch for a while and in the suburbs, but I have also lived in cities big and small, good and bad. The explanation for my "ignorance" is simple. I have experienced many things and have come to the conclusion that living with people if far more beneficial than just subjugating them, you would think that some one who lives somewhere so diverse would know that. Wait, I forgot. Though there are many different people that live there, they all mostly keep to their own, creating segregated communities. I guess now I understand the reason for your ignorance. Fear, hate, anger and now racial bias. You're still, most probably will always be a intolerant, xenophobic bigot. I'm done trying to talk some sense into you. I can only hope you'll stop trying to justify it in you mind (and on internet massage boards) and realize that you're nothing but a terrorist in your own right. Willing to do and say anything to keep your antiquated belief system alive. Maybe when you grow up (no Iâ??m not talking physically or chronologically, but mentally) youâ??ll look back on this and be embarrassed.

Sorry daves, he doesn't work that way. All good points though.

[Breukelen advocaat]

First: paki newspaper + american newspaper = spreading fear and hate within their own citizens so then the country is easier to govern, because these citizen all of a sudden rely on their government...plus this gets to racism...shall we hate them as much they hate us?

Answer: If they hate us, then keep them out of the United States.

Second: Who told extremist Muslim are not a threat? they are, but again shall we put them all in the same basket...

Answer: I don't understand the wording of the question.


Third: Are you supposed to be some sort of expert, or do you have inside info? If so please tell me i'll be the first to agree with you then...if not please do not rely on news paper to take your information, too much money involved...

Answer: I was across the street from the WTC when they tried to bring it down in '93. I was a couple of blocks away on the morning of 9/11. My wife worked in the World Financial Center, next door to the WTC. She had a doctor appointment that day and was uptown.

The firehouse, across the street from the WTC, was emptied after 9/11 - and hundreds of other firemen and police officers lost their lives. Their Catholic chaplains were giving last rights to those that were doing rescue missions. People were jumping to their deaths - which I fortunately did not see.

Fourth: You try to diminish the credibility of someone on his past and yours and therefor give an opinion that is not objective...And we must not stick to what we already know otherwise we won't know anything else!

Answer: A person that has his home in Nebraska, and says that there is no threat of terrorism, is either stupid or living in a fantasy world.

Finally: You reaction in the subway if your story is the exact thing that happened was right...you didn't bring down anyone andmade nobody feel bad really, maybe that lady didn't notice the cop...But still we must not spread fear by over reacting to terrorism threat...

Answer: As I said, we are barraged on a daily basis by the police and TA to report anything unusual. A person with a burka and packages should be looked at. I have to go through metal detectors, and have my knapsack searched AND put my cell phone, pocket change, keys, etc. through an airport-style metal detector every day, several times a day - and this has been the way it is for four years. I don't mind so much, and I'm not complaining if it means more safety. If I were to try to walk the streets with a hood over my head, like the burka-wearers, I'd be arrested, assaulted by civilians, or both.
