You think the blogosphere is a hostile place? Well, you ain’t seen nuttin’ yet.
Internet Haganah, a global network dedicated to identifying and confronting terrorist activities over the Internet, reported Sunday that a Palestinian forum named al-Ommh was running a rather disgraceful poll.
At issue is whether or not Alan Johnston, the BBC member who was captured in Gaza in March and is still being held by the terrorist group Jaish al-Islam, should be executed (h/t LGF).
The results reported by IH were despicable (emphasis added):
It was the opinion of the vast majority of participants that Johnston should be killed, and the sooner the better.
In the discussion following the poll, comments ranged from "do the killing in coordination with al-Qaida in Iraq who have hostages of their own who need to die - the combined effect will be very good", to "mmmm, Roman [i.e. Crusader] blood is good!". One guy tried to argue that they needed a fatwa, and not just people's personal opinions - to no avail.
It is not known to us if the person who asked the question, or any of the respondents, is connected to the Jaish al-Islam in Gaza, though this is not unlikely.
In the screen capture provided, there were 21 votes in favor of death, and only one opposed.
That’s 95 percent.
Yikes.

When one is in a jungle surrounded by lions, if the option exists for an antelope to grow fangs and claws, NOT to do so is incredibly stupid. Animals should be treated as such.

May 20, 2007 - 17:17 ET by bigtimerCouldn't agree more Sonny.
Just bet our missing soldiers are getting treated really well.
(I pray they are and have been since the first report, but common sense says not...unfortunately....McCain and his torture BS has made me furious since I saw it being created, crafted and voted on in the Senate...along with little Lindsay Graham and others)

May 20, 2007 - 17:29 ET by terrigSonny & BT, couldn't have said it better myself. I was shocked and for a few seconds speechless (I know it's hard to believe) when McCain said that stupid statement. All I could think was you stupid idiot, if those 3 Soldiers are still alive they are being mistreated and being mistreated greatly. What a jerk. I was very active in his 2000 campaign while living in VA & they had my email still and contacted me this time around. I declined.

I need to be able to get up and declare the raghead that run this website open game for anyone to take out and the sooner the better.
We don't have a supply of virgins so will have to settle for cash awards.
We don't have the same number of crazies, but certainly enough to make these clowns think twice.

May 20, 2007 - 18:47 ET by Sonny LykosI agree.
I often wonder what part of: “We want to kill you all. We want to wipe you off the map. We will use anything we can to complete our goals.” the liberals don't understand.
Lions hate hyenas. So any chance they get, they will kill one, even if they are not hungry - just to kill it.
So too, these Islamic lions hate us so much, they will kill us any time the opportunity arises, but also with one caveat - even if it means killing themselves as well. So to that degree, they are even far more dangerous than the hyena hating lion.
It’s one thing to talk to them if they just dislike us for specific and reasonable reasons. It’s another thing when the #1 specific reason is because they feel that their religion or God tells them to kill us. That reason, in their opinion, cannot be negotiated.
Our enemy within feels as strongly as the terrorists in their desire to kill America - not just it’s people, but America as we know it. So our enemy within will use the terrorists as just one of their tools to obtain their common goal. As stated by someone else: “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Unfortunately, our enemy within is not smart enough to figure out that when in an ocean, if they hate the only other people in the boat besides them, it’s an act of insanity to put a hole in the bottom of the boat to “fix them.”
Michael Savage is right. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

May 20, 2007 - 20:06 ET by ArchConservativeExactly. The same crowd who cry and sob and ask "why do they hate us? We need to understand them" will be the same ones who will see to it that the road is that much easier for them to accomplish their goals.
"Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists."

May 20, 2007 - 18:58 ET byThis poll having only 22 respondants can not be trusted as valid or reliable. I could most likely find 22 KKK members in San Diego and come up with an equally disgusting poll response. However knowing that such sentiment is condoned in Palestinian culture while the KKK is not condoned in San Diego, i won't hold my breath waiting for a condemnation from Palestine. (or even from the UN)
