More gems from TUCC...
Edited on Tue Mar-25-08 08:17 PM by The Night Owl
Another gem from TUCC...

Images specifically of charred bodies, hung like roasted offerings, have also been popularized in the international press, especially when showing the “horrid” acts of Iraqi insurgents in Fallujah who captured and killed four American mercenaries in March of 2004.

Note that the word horrid is placed between quotation marks. I guess the writer doesn't consider charred bodies hung like roasted offerings to be horrid as long as the charred bodies are those of American contractors?

Yet another gem from TUCC...

Most of our members do not know that my Master’s Degree from the University of Chicago’s Divinity School was in the area of Islam in West Africa during the 19th Century — when the trans-Atlantic Slave Trade was at its zenith. Islam has as many manifestations as Christianity and Judaism, but most Americans are only fed a media diet on Islam as it relates to the “war on terror” and the Palestinian muslim problem in the “state” of Israel.

Note that the word state is between quotation marks. I guess the writer doesn't consider Israel to be a state?

Disturbing.

4. I agree, but no need to kick such shit threads
and yes I'm kicking it here too, but "members" of "the" "movement" need to "be" reminded that tagging "the" "thread" "is" "not" "letting" it "sink."

Quite disturbing.

3. Well, it was set up by Europeans in an act of Imperialism.
