well i sat back and watched the entire season of sleeper cell
in one night on showtime on demand last night
sheeesh
talk about an all nighter
that show is incredibly well written
and what i like most about it
is that rather then just having the terrorists
as dark enemies
it humanizes them
and shows us a rich variety of people who have
come together to become martyrs and why
the closested gay moslem with enormous rage
is one of the most interesting and complex characters
the disturbed man who watched his entire moslem family killed
in sarajevo is another great torn character
and the main character darwin; an African american
who loses his relationship with his father for joining the white man FBI
and must fight against his moslem brothers who choose Jihad over peace
and ulitmately drags his innocent white non moslem civilian still married girlfriend into the mix therebye violating rules from his father, his faith and his profession
to follow his heart, well dang!
darwin is just agony and bravery in motion
plus he's cute that helps too
it was scary
rich
and brilliant
know thy enemy
yes
its better to get into the mind of the terrorist; the sleeper cell
then to denounce them all as radical arabs
you can not fight what you dont know
personally i think
putting the focus into education of them and us
is this way to go
feed them, clothe them
and educate them
show them the world
not their little snippet
when you dont have food
when you are sick
and starving
and have no self esteem left to nourish your soul or your family with
fundamentlists have already won the battle yet to be fought
i can only thank the higher power
that the moslems fundamentalists have not focused on africa
where AIDS is destroying nation after nation
surely there would be many a recruit happy to jump on board
in exchange for helping their family
perhaps AIDS is too evil a disease for the god-fearing terrorist
i don't know
George Bush did not have the answer to terrorism
he only offered more fuel
i can only hope and pray
that our next world leader is wiser
and is more willing to learn
then teach
