Islam, Version 2.0; Porn, Pepsi and Coke Included

Is the moral of the story just……… a dude, is a dude, is a dude?  Or is this dude, and are all dudes like him, just a bunch of phoneys?

I’m referring to the recent news that a stash of porn was found at the Bin Laden Compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.  The reports are mixed, some saying it was in video form and others stating it was a box of magazines.  What guy didn’t see this one coming?  As soon as they mentioned anything about taking computers and thumb drives from the compound, two things came to mind.  One, the primary purpose of the internet is for sexual related activity.  And two, put a man and a computer in the same room and within 20 minutes they will be “punching the clown” like nobody’s business. 

 

In Osama’s case, he also couldn’t seem to resist American made products like Pepsi, Coke and Nestle.  According to Pakistani officials, these products along with western medicine were delivered in bulk to the compound on a regular basis.  Cannabis was found growing outside the compound as well (will the toxicology reports show traces of this or other drugs in Osama’s system?). 

 I have no problem with porn.  In fact, when nobody else is around, I welcome it!  And that also goes for strippers, massage parlors, naked maid services, slutty women, easy women, scantily clad women in public, nudity contests, porn shops, hookers, peep shows, escorts……………..okay, I think you have my point. 

But wait, this son of a bitch was supposed to be against all that stuff!  I thought we are the westerners who are supposed to be a bunch of heathens that are prisoners to our own impulses.  Bin Laden sent out video tape after video tape of himself preaching about the ills of western culture, only to turn off the camera, go back to his room and chug a bottle of Yoo-hoo while rubbing one out. 

Many other reports came out this week regarding how much porn was on previous hard-drives of other captured terrorists and so called “warriors” taken custody in both Iraq and Afghanistan.  News reports this week claimed that 90% of the hard-drives taken had porn (now was that 90% of the space on the hard drives, or 90% of the actual hard drives had some type of porn?). 

What does it tell us?  Does it tell us that men are all the same?  Or does it tell us that this “leader” followed worldwide by crazies everywhere, was nothing but a poser?  The answer, yes, he was a poser (it feels nice to say "was").  And in the worst way.  It means that everything that he stood for, and everything he commanded people to do, was a sham.  He killed thousands of people and asked other young Muslims to take their own lives for his cause. 

I have to admit, that as much as I hate about Islamic fundamentalism, there is something mysterious and admirable about their devotion to their cause.  The insanity to end one’s life to defeat a power greater than yourself, know your religion and its principles inside and out, recite long prayers in unison with others of your faith several times a day, and restrict yourself from the daily temptations offered on this planet, waiting, so that someday they could be rewarded in some magnificent place, well beyond our comprehension.   

But that, my friends, is all a bunch of bullshit!

I know that earlier I mentioned we all should have seen this coming when they mentioned anything about recovering hard drives.  But now that we have the proof, I get even angrier.  Angrier for what it cost our country physically, emotionally and financially on 9/11, as well as the grief we continue to endure. I was hoping that maybe this sicko was at least for real and that those people didn’t die that much more in vain.     

Whether it’s because America is the most successful culture in the history of the world or that their whole ideology is a waste of their existence, they should at least find the balls to admit that they just hate America.  It’s not about how we live our lives or that we have entered their land.  Matter of fact, each time we have entered their lands, it was at the request of others living in their lands (why aren't they attacking those people?).  It really comes down to jealousy.  They wish they could be like America, but don’t have the means or the willingness to adjust their religion to the modern times to do so.
