There apparently is a burgeoning fan club among American youth for the cold-blooded murderer Osama bin Laden, mastermind of the 9/11/01 slaughter. These empty-headed ignoramuses read his 2002 two-page screed called "Letter to America" online and are swooning with their newfound historical enlightenment.
Can today's young folks really be this gullible and downright stupid? Evidently, yes, they certainly can. Quite eagerly, too. It's a depressing testimony to the total failure of our educational system and societal breakdown.
I have a few questions for these newly accomplished historians. No links today; go do some research and look up the topics for yourselves. Be forewarned--you might need to activate some brain cells. Pace yourselves.
My questions, a mere fraction of what could be asked, appear below:
- What can you tell me about the Dreyfus Affair and the Balfour Declaration?
- Can you explain what a "pogrom" is?
- Did you ever study the rise of Hitler?
- Did you learn the facts of the 20th century Holocaust?
- Have you read about the Arab-Israeli war in 1948-49?
- What do you know about the Suez Crisis in 1956?
- What happened in the 1967 Six Day War?
- Have you learned anything about the 1973 Yom Kippur war?
- Can you identify the year Jewish people first lived in Israel and which century Muslims did?
- Have you ever read THE BIBLE?
Run along now, young geniuses, and do some homework.
Note to the fawning fan who is a bikini model: If you were lucky, bin Laden would only have you stoned to death.
