View Full Version : Reward for an American

Reward for an American You probably missed it in the rush of news last week, but there was
actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a
newspaper an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American,
any American.

So an Australian dentist wrote the following to let everyone know what
an American is... so they would know when they found one. (Good on ya,
mate!!!!)
An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish,
Polish, Russian or Greek.

An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese,
Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani,
or
Afghan.

An American may also be a Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache,
Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans.

An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or
Muslim.


In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan. The
only
difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them
chooses.

An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will
answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs claiming
to
speak for the government and for God.

An American lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the
world.

The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of
Independence, which recognizes the God given right of each person to
the
pursuit of happiness.

An American is generous. Americans have helped out just about every
other nation in the world in their time of need.

When the Soviet army overran Afghanistan 20 years ago, Americans came
with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country!

As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any
other nation to the poor in Afghanistan.

Americans welcome the best, the best products, the best books, the
best
music, the best food, the best athletes. But they also welcome the
least!

The national symbol of America, The Statue of Liberty, welcomes your
tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the
homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built
America.

Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September
11, 2001 earning a better life for their families. I've been told that
the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 other countries,
cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted
the terrorists.

So you can try to kill an American if you must.

Hitler did.

So did General Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, and every
bloodthirsty tyrant in the history of the world.

But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself. Because
Americans
are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the
embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that
spirit, everywhere, is an American.

Thanks for the kind words of the Australian gentlemen who wrote that, the guy who posted it and everyone else in this thread.

Nice to read that some people do realize what is right about America and not just what is wrong with it.

Granted, there is plenty or wrong, but more good, IMHO.

All Praise is due to Allah.
