Wasn 't Nick Berg a jew?
Edited on Tue May-11-04 11:41 PM by Must_B_Free
why didn't his killers make a stink about that if they were truely Islamic terrorists?

http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/news-article.aspx?storyid=18532

Berg's father said his son was Jewish and had a fringed religious cloth with him, but he did not think Berg wore the clothing in public. Still, "there's a better chance than not that
they knew he was Jewish," Michael Berg said. "If there was any doubt that they were going to kill him that probably clinched it, I'm guessing."

2. I was thinking that same thing
I'm not assuming anything, but no one's mentioned it.

But Perle's assassns didn't mention it on their video either, IIRC. I think they just assumed everyone knew.

5. Actually they did
I just read about it. Pearl's last words were "yes I'm a Jew". Also they had a buch of stuff about Zionists in the video preceeding the execution.

11. Comments like that make me sick.
What I've seen here today is disgusting and those of you, and you know who you are, have shamed the left. People on this board that are the least bit decent and good must be outraged, but sadly this board is over run with rude extremists that will attempt to railroad you out if you dare to speak up.

So go on discrediting yourselves, that is what you are doing with knee jerk reactions to this video. Making massive leaps in logic to force all realities to fit in with your deranged view; world good - US bad, it's pathetic.

And the fact that you make jokes about a man being decapitated really says something about your character.

6. Maybe he was related to Dave Berg.
You know, the cartoonist from Mad Magazine.

Mad has always been a notoriously leftist publication, so I think we all know what really happened here.

Edited on Tue May-11-04 11:15 PM by FDRrocks
above an actual soldier, to steal and murder. I guess I'm kinda playing the devils advocate b/c it's been a short while and I'm still not completely sure WTH is going on with this whole thing.

12. OMG!!
I really can't believe you guys! This is pretty f*ckd up. Yall are just SO far past ridiculous right now. It's hard enough lurking around here with the normal nutcases, but now it's like more than a third of our people have gone off the deep-end.

Yall really need to take a few days off, step back, and realize that as dumb, awful, ugly, incoherent, spiteful, whatever, a President * may be he's only a man and not the cause of every bad thing in this world.

For cryin' out loud, it's only a matter of time before the first posts appear blamin' *, Rove, and the neocons for Pearl Harbor, the USS Maine explosion, "Batman and Robin," and the Great Flood.

15. It reminds me of how Freepers still think Hitlery Klintoon controls
the world and everything in it. Same mentality.

19. With Pearl Harbor, they intentionally disregarded the radar station.
Pearl Harbor (LIHOP)

The mining of the USS Maine was blow-back from too much pressure on Castro's papa.

"Batman and Robin" was purely because they like guys in tights.

The Great Flood is coming soon.

20. Well...
Situations like this one and Abu Ghairab would most likely have not come to fruition if we had not uselessly attacked Iraq.

Of course he isn't the cause of all evil, he's just a stupid guy sitting on the throne of this country.... but he is culpable in almost all of the circumstances surrounding the Iraq War.

Come on people, ridiculous statements like this do nothing but discredit our side in serious debates.

22. No, Hitlery killed him during an act of S&M that got out of hand.
Don't you remember?

Edited on Tue May-11-04 11:40 PM by Must_B_Free
"Gathered in their split-level house, Berg's family talked of him as a science whiz, a sweet, unselfish kid who carried a Jewish prayer shawl, though they don't believe his religion played a role in his death."

http://www.centredaily.com/mld/centredaily/news/8643309.htm

"Berg's father said his son was Jewish and had a fringed religious cloth with him, but he did not think Berg wore the clothing in public. Still, "there's a better chance than not that
they knew he was Jewish," Michael Berg said. "If there was any doubt that they were going to kill him that probably clinched it, I'm guessing.
"

It is well known that most of the Islamic world is suspicious of "Zionists" - it pervades ther rhetoric.

So how do Islamic terrorists execute a Jew and make no mention of such or of Zionism? Why is that such a ridiculous observation as so many of you have suggested?

24. Just watched the video
two notes

There is a reason why both Pearl and Berg were beheaded, you would not know this... but under Jewish Law doing this well, will make burying him according to Jewish Law a tad difficult... just like in Islam.

Second note, what may sond crazy to some, may be getting close to the truth or not... but Pearl was getting close to some hot things, such as Khan's little market place of Nukes (and what the heck was a Jew doing in that area of teh world)

Now this kid, there are some inconsistencies, such as why was he arrested, why was he detained by the FBI, and why was he released in a prison uniform?

I will just pose them

26. So would the beheading thing...
Edited on Tue May-11-04 11:40 PM by FDRrocks
be simoultaneously an act of both murder and desecration, according to the burial rituals of Islam and Judaism?

I'm woefully ignorant on things of this nature.

28. Also interesting is the organized Zot on this thread
there was no conspiracy theory proposed, yet it is being treated as if a ridiculous conspiracy theory was floated. Not one of them has made any suggestion as to what they have a problem with.

Interesting.

29. Who said he was released in a prison uniform and
even if he was, what does it have to do with his murder?

He was released from prison on April 6, went back to his hotel, and went missing on April 9.

Are you suggesting he was released in a prison uniform and didn't change out of it for three days?

Are you suggesting such a scenario makes sense?
