ARABS AND AMERICA

Saved by U.S., Kuwait Now Shows Mixed Feelings

By CRAIG S. SMITH

KUWAIT, Oct. 11 -- Muhammad al-Mulaifi, head of the information department at Kuwait's Ministry of Islamic Affairs, tried momentarily to suppress a smile, then broke into a broad grin when asked if he supported the terrorist attacks on the United States last year.

"I would be lying if said I wasn't happy about the attack," he said, sitting on the floor of his air-conditioned home office, a carpeted, cushioned oasis amid the harsh heat of this small, dry country. Mr. Mulaifi said that many Kuwaitis were delighted about what had happened to the United States and that he had attended parties held in celebration.

"Only then did we see America suffer for a few
seconds what Muslims have been suffering for a long time," he said.

They WENT TO PARTIES .... you freaking idiot do you live in the west? Do You? They're not your friends. They would rather see you dead! Do you freaking understand this? You think your safe if you aren't American? They've killed French and Germans and I'm waiting to see the outcome of the blast in Finland. Who's next? Canada? Austrailia? You think hiding your head in the sand and offering up your backside for them to bugger is going to save you? Selling Isreal out won't make them love us, it will convince them of our weakness. They understand only one thing and that is force. They want only one thing and that is to force Islam down everyones throat. They are at war with the west, plain and simple. Maybe we sould just fight fire with fire and encourage Isreal to finish the issue. We could support a ultra-nationalist Hindu party in India and encourge them to wipe Islam off the face of the Earth. They've got a billion people and they have nukes. You think the Paki's nukes will hold them back? They want holy war, we'll give them a holy war like they have never known.
