Sheesh.

No weapons, no plan and only the govt's word ... you'd think even ppj would get tired of being lied to by bushco by now.

Terrorist Act #1?

If disrespecting the Flag and its symbolism is considered by some as an act of American Hating terrorist. Wouldn't this be considered a disrespect to our Troops?

Notice the Flag on his shoulder. According to ushistory.org "To wear our country's flag properly, the field of stars is worn closest to your heart." and USFlag.org cites a response from the Department of Defense:

"Thank you for your inquiry about the proper placement of the American flag on the uniform of the U.S. Armed Forces.

Army Regulation 670-1, "Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia," updated most recently September 5, 2003, addresses explicitly the proper and lawful placement of the U.S. flag patch on the Army uniform.

The regulation states that when authorized for application to the proper uniform the American flag patch is to be worn, right or left shoulder, so that "the star field faces forward, or to the flag's own right. When worn in this manner, the flag is facing to the observer's right, and gives the effect of the flag flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward. The appropriate replica for the right shoulder sleeve is identified as the `reverse side flag'."

We appreciate and share your concern for the respectful display of our American flag on the uniform of the U.S. Armed Forces."

This is directly from the The Flag Code
Title 4, United States Code, Chapter 1 found at the Legion.org website:

§ 10. Modification of rules and customs by President
Any rule or custom pertaining to the display of the flag of the United States of America, set forth herein, may be altered, modified, or repealed, or additional rules with respect thereto may be prescribed, by the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States, whenever he deems it to be appropriate or desirable; and any such alteration or additional rule shall be set forth in a proclamation.

I have yet been unable to find President Bush's Proclamation that U.S. Flags worn on Military Uniforms could be placed backwards.

Here is a little history from the National Flag Foundation:
Flag Patches on Army Uniforms

Many sharp-eyed civilians have noted an apparent oddity on the uniform sleeves of American military men: backward flag patches. Why is Old Glory flipped around like that?

Only the flag patches affixed to right shoulders of uniforms are reversed, so the blue field of stars faces forward. (Left shoulder patches aren't a problem, as the stars face forward without meddling.) The reversal was inspired by the age-old practice of carrying flags into battle. When fastened to a standard, the American flag's blue-and-white portion is always closest to the pole. A flag bearer rushing into the fray, then, would naturally lead with the stars. In fact, it would be virtually impossible to lead with the stripes-the flag would simply wilt and wrap around the pole, rather than waving triumphantly in the wind.

For a service man or women to lead with shoulder-borne stripes, then, might smack of cowardice and retreat, as if the toter were backpedaling away from the conflict. The official Army guidelines on the donning of flag patches add that the forward-facing stars give "the effect of the flag flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward." So perhaps it's best to think of every militry person as a latter-day flag bearer, leading the headlong charge into battle.

And this is our Commander in Chief!

I know what you're thinking, "It's a hoax picture of the President (Commander in Chief) using binoclures that have the covers still in place. If they photoshopped the lens caps they must have photoshopped the flag as well." Well, this Snopes.com article shows 2 pictures from the same series of photos and in both the shoulder patch Flags are going in the same direction.

You can clearly see that all of the  Flag Disrespects noted above are covered by a strict set up guidelines on many of the links I have provided.

Compare to the Dix suspects, for whom religion is thoroughly entangled with their militancy.

I'll repeat that, because it's a critical distinction:  compare to the Dix suspects, for whom religion is thoroughly entangled with their militancy.

there is no such thing as a Moslem/Muslim/Islamic whatever race....

There is a religion that has members of every race and nationality. They believe "But if ye obey [God] and His Apostle, he will not allow you to lose any of your actions: for [God] is Indulgent, Merciful."

Do you want the government to hide crime information when they think we might misuse it?

That would be impossible.

I'm just trying to show how dumb their position is.

My bottom line is that you can condemn radical Moslem terrorist attacks/plots, etc., while condemning McVeigh.

When they immediately bring him up it just shows they are looking for an excuse..

Which is strange. Are they fearul that if Bush is not defeated they will somehow lose, and that they therefore must defend the terrorists actions??

Who ya going to believe.

"Devout" anyone has nothing to do with criminal actions.

devoted to religion or to religious duties or exercises
2 : expressing devotion or piety a devout attitude
3 : devoted to a pursuit, belief, or mode of behavior : SERIOUS, EARNEST a devout baseball fan born a devout coward --G. B. Shaw

• de·vout·ly adverb
  
• de·vout·ness noun

What it does is describe the actions of someone.

Thus a radical Moslem can be a devout practioner of his faith.

Now you can argue, and I will agree,  that the radical Moslem's actions do not actually follow the true laws of Islam, but that is entirely different from "devout."

Now. Where did I claim otherwise? I didn't. You either can't read, or just like to throw out false claims.

Now, what was, and is, our disagreement.

But when the government says `Islamic militants,' it sends a message to the public that Islam and militancy are synonymous.

Now, from roy's comment:

The video showed 10 young men in their early 20s ``shooting assault weapons at a firing range ... while calling for jihad and shouting in Arabic 'Allah Akbar' (God is great),'' the complaint said. The 10 included six of those arrested, authorities said

Yes, looks that way, doesn't it.

Perhaps if they quit doing it....

And there is the issue of jihad, and its meaning. Some claim that it means go after the unbeliever, some claim it means cleaning up your personal act.

Somehow I don't think the people in question were talking about quitting smoking..
