Islam is a religion that follows the teachings and revelations of the prophet Mohammed. Fascism is a (blurrily defined) political/economic system characterized by propaganda, militarism, excessive patriotism, suppression of freedom and surveillance ... IOW like us right not (yea the new FISA!). You can run it together in a Germanized word (hmm ... more Germanisms, like "Homeland Security"), but it's just meaningless mumbo-jumbo that has nothing whatever to do with Ossama Bin Laden or the Iraqi people. It's just a boogeyman to make us scared. We have the names and the backgrounds of the people who flew the planes into the towers and of the people who planned it too. And there isn't a fascist in the bunch. Why the hell are we blathering about this stupid word? Oh, I forgot -- so we have something to be afraid of and hate. >> Isn't FISA being used for drug >> dealers, kiddie porn lovers, and FAWK political dissidents or the >> "other" >> party? > > Are you sure it isn't being used to protect our country from > aforementioned > terrorists? How do you know? > Because of the people they've brought up on charges. Because the top terrorist brought up on charges was Bin Laden's chauffeur (wasn't there a comedy where the Nazi war criminal had been "Hitler's pool boy"?). But the larger problem is we DON'T know and we never WILL know because it's secret secret secret and they won't even tell FISA judges. Which means they can do anything they damn well want to, which should scare you far more than any A bomb scenarios or Islamolibertatians. -- Lan Barnes SCM Analyst Linux Guy Tcl/Tk Enthusiast Biodiesel Brewer -- KPLUG-List@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
