YOU WORRY ME!
By Captain John Maniscalco, American Airlines Pilot
I've been trying to say this since 911 – you worry me, and I wish you didn't. I wish when I walked down the streets of this country that I love, that your color and culture still blended with the beautiful human landscape we enjoy in this country. But you don't blend in anymore. I notice you, and it worries me.
I notice you because I can't help it anymore. People from your homelands, professing to be Muslims, have been attacking and killing my fellow citizens and our friends for more than 20 years now.
I don't fully understand their grievances and hate, but I know that nothing can justify the inhumanity of their attacks.
On September 11, ARAB-MUSLIMS hijacked four jetliners in my country. They cut the throats of women in front of children and brutally stabbed to death others, hacking their necks, over and over, with box cutters. They took control of those planes and crashed them into buildings, killing thousands of proud fathers, loving sons, wise grandparents, elegant daughters, best friends, favorite coaches, fearless public servants and children's mothers.
The Palestinians celebrated, the Iraqis were overjoyed, as was most of the Arab world. So, I notice you now. I don't want to be worried.
I don't want to be consumed by the same rage, hate and prejudice that has destroyed the soul of these terrorists. But I need your help. As a rational American, trying to protect my country and family in an irrational and unsafe world, I must know how to tell the difference between you and the Arab/Muslim terrorist.
How do I differentiate between the true Arab/Muslim Americans and the Arab/Muslim terrorists in our communities who are attending our schools, enjoying our parks, and living in OUR communities under the protection of OUR constitution, while they plot the next attack that will slaughter MORE of the same good neighbors and children?
The events of September 11 changed the answer. It is not MY responsibility to determine which of you embraces our great country, with ALL of its religions, with ALL of its different citizens, with all of its faults. It is time for every Arab/Muslim in this country to determine it for me.
I want to know, I DEMAND to know and I have a right to know, whether or not you love America..... Do you pledge allegiance to its flag? Do you proudly display it in front of your house, or on your car? Do you pray in your many daily prayers that Allah will bless this nation – that He will protect it and let it prosper? Or do you pray that Allah will destroy it in one of your Jihads? Are you thankful for the freedom that this nation affords? A freedom that was paid for by the blood of hundreds of thousands of patriots who have, throughout our history, given their lives for this country? Are you willing to preserve this freedom by also paying the ultimate sacrifice? Do you love America? If this is your commitment, then I need YOU to start letting ME know about it.
Your Muslim leaders in this nation should be flooding the media at this time with hard facts on your faith, and what hard actions YOU are taking as a community and as a religion to protect the United States of America. Please, no more benign overtures of regret for the death of the innocent, because I worry about who you regard as innocent. No more benign overtures of condemnation for the unprovoked attacks, because I worry about what is unprovoked to you. I am not interested in any more sympathy – I am interested only in action. What will you do for America – our great country – at this time of continuing crisis, at this time of war?
I want to see Arab-Muslims waving the AMERICAN flag in the streets. I want to hear you chanting 'Allah Bless America'. I want to see young Arab/Muslim men enlisting in the military. I want to see a commitment of money, time and emotion to the victims of this butchering and to our returning wounded and to this nation as a whole.
The FBI has had a long list of people they’ve wanted to interact with regarding the threats that they believe to be ongoing. Many of these people live and socialize right now in Muslim communities. You know them. You know where they are. Give the FBI a heads up as to where they may be. Better yet, hand them over to us – NOW! But I have seen little even approaching this sort of action. Instead I have seen an already closed and secretive community close even tighter. You have disappeared from the streets. You have posted armed security guards at your facilities. You have threatened lawsuits. You have screamed for protection from reprisals.
The very few Arab/Muslim representatives, like CARE, that HAVE appeared in the media were defensive and equivocating. They seemed more concerned with making sure that the United States apologize and take responsibility for actions defending our own people. They seemed more concerned with protecting their fellow Muslims from violence directed towards them in the United States and abroad than they did with supporting our country and denouncing 'leaders' like the late Khadafi, the late Hussein, Farrakhan, and the late Arafat.
If the true teachings of Islam proclaim tolerance and peace, and love for all people, then I want chapter and verse from the Koran and statements from popular Muslim leaders to back it up. What good is it if the teachings in the Koran are good, pure, and true, when your 'leaders' ARE teaching fanatical interpretations, terrorism and intolerance? It matters little how good Islam SHOULD BE if huge numbers of the world's Muslims interpret the teachings of Mohammed incorrectly and adhere to a degenerative form of the religion. A form that has been demonstrated to us over and over again. A form whose structure is built upon a foundation of violence, death and suicide. A form whose members are recruited from the prisons around the world.
A form whose members (some as young as five years old) are seen day after day, week in and week out, year after year, marching in the streets around the world, burning effigies of our presidents, burning the American flag, shooting weapons into the air. A form whose members convert from a peaceful religion, only to take up arms against the great United States of America, the country of their birth. A form whose rules are so twisted, that their traveling members refuse to show their faces at airport security checkpoints, in the name of Islam.
We will NEVER allow the attacks of September 11, or any others for that matter, to take away that which is so precious to us – our rights under the greatest Constitution in the world. I want to know where every Arab Muslim in this country stands and I think it is my right and the right of every true citizen of this country to DEMAND it. A right paid for by the blood of thousands of my brothers and sisters who died protecting the very Constitution that is protecting you and your family.
I am pleading with you to let me know. I want you here as my brother, my neighbor, my friend, as a fellow American...... But there can be no gray areas or ambivalence regarding your allegiance – and it is up to YOU to show ME where YOU stand. Until then, "YOU WORRY ME!"
CANADIAN COMMENT
I totally agree with this sentiment. I hope you will forget all about the 'political correctness' mandate we've had rammed down our throats by so many on the left, and see if this doesn't ring true in your heart and mind. For Canada, with all the multiculturalism we've been told is so important.... why should we not, as Canadians, expect that the millions of new people immigrating to our country show their love for our country, their allegiance to our country, their willingness to obey the laws of our country, and acceptance that we are a Christian country? Just because they are able to enjoy exercising their own religion, they should NOT expect us to be ashamed of ours. They knew Canada was a Christian country when they came here. Why are we erasing Christianity because immigrants who are unwilling to adopt our way of life expect us to? There is just too much insanity in the world, and we have to start taking a stand.
I hope you will forward this, so that others will feel they are not alone if they are starting to feel the same.
BRITISH COMMENT
At last, a clear non-racist example of the concerns that the vast majority of our Nations’ populations probably share. The pilot's letter encapsulates all that is fair and just about national pride and protection of one's national culture. I fear it may be too late here in UK, BUT we too want our country back in the form that attracted all these different cultures to come here in the first place!! In all our conversations, with a wide range of friends and acquaintances, we have not met one that disagrees with our own views
If only we all had the courage of our convictions to pass this on, it is a statement that should be accepted as the heart-felt feelings of someone with honest, commendable national pride.
Not all Muslims are terrorists, but almost all terrorists to date have been Muslims. Stand up and be counted!

AUSTRALIAN COMMENT
Best email I have had in years – it needs to be in every paper every day until we get some answers. We need all be very concerned. Note the pattern in Australia is the same as for the other countries above. Where are the believers of Islam in our beloved country standing up and being counted on all these issues?
I have not seen one!
24 comments:
Your answer is that they will continue to live with us, play by our rules, then when enough of us infidels can be in a large group, kill the infidels at all costs.
Then, one of their brothers or sisters will do it the next time.
Kill the infidels.
There's your "logical" answer.
Live by it.
Do you really want to know why you dont see any? It is because Islam is satan religion. They lie and deceive under a mosque that displays a cresent moon. Not a holy cross.
Fat chance! I must share this with my infidel peeps.
Much like Muslims see us...we are in their homeland killing their families, destroying there land, hell..I don't blame them for hating us. How would you feel if armed groups of Muslims patrolled your neighborhood telling you what you can and cannot do? Bet you wouldn't feel they are "liberating you" in fact, i bet you would wanna fight them and hate their people for killing your family...
9:05 spoken like a true idiot! would you rather fight them here or there?
This is generational. no point in taking out their leaders. We need to start taking out families! they breed like vermin, and killing the patriarchs influenced by this disease only causes the next generation to step up to continue the slaughter of innocents. so start taking out generations! every 300 to 500 years the mudslimes go on adventures and it's only after they get their asses seriously kicked back to the ratholes they call home do they settle down until next time!
At 9:05...there's a bridge in London with your name on it...Ray...
Youd better be careful, most people around here treat logic with hostility. They damn other religions while they sin in their own
Muslims have long been standing up against radical extremist interpretations of their religion. This is not displayed on Fox news. Your target audience is filter fed their news just like the dems who only watch CNN.
How many of you have been to Canada, Britain or Australia? How many have been more than 30 mins from your home? Shorebillies love to throw stones in glass trailers.
And you wonder why someone could dislike you...
Islam is a terrorists religion that is trying to destroy America and as such I believe can be made illegal. If not then the American people will destroy islam one terrorists at a time if necessary of course we will have to find people interested in running the convience stores and gas stations.
We lost 3500 in the bombing at NY trade centers and the additional 10s of thousands suffering from diseases from the blast. I don't need to go anywhere USA has suffered the worst attack on a civilian population during non war time in American history! Your a troll, a Russian robot or a terrorist.
So are WE THE PEOPLE That is why AMERICA has been at war with the extremists...have you been asleep since 911?
905 I felt terrible and still feel bad when I see 4K Americans brutally murdered by subhumans on 911. We are now fighting along side Muslims to defeat radical Islam. Because radical Islam are disgusting subhumans.... So YOUR SAYING we should NOT help Muslims fight against RAPE MURDER AND KILLING of innocent Muslims in far away lands?? Wow.
905 I'm SHOCKED that YOU think all Muslims HATE us. Stop watching radical tv.
Like a couple of friends have on their cars after they lost family in the towers.
Their bumper stickers say; "The only good Muslim is a Dead one"!
My car sticker says; "Everything I ever need to know about Muslims,
I learned on 911".
If islam is so wonderful, why do the muslim countries REFUSE to take other muslims refugees from predominately muslin countris.
Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Qatar, Afghanistan, Iran and so on refuse to accept any muslim refugees from Syria.
Classic example of everyone with their fingers in their ears, no one trying to understand each other, nor to find out why.
I want you to think on this long and hard. Why do you think they attack us here?
Because they hate freedom? That's just stupid.
3.3 Million. That number is a 2016 Pew Poll of the number of AMERICAN CITIZENS who are Muslim.
Muslims serve and die in our military. American Soldiers.
Ask yourself why? Why are THESE people from those areas attacking us, or want to attack us? Why do you think that is?
I can't be religious doctrine, if that were true, we'd be fighting 3.3 Million people right now... and those AMERICAN soldiers who are Muslim would be killing their fellow Americans from the inside. But we all know this isn't happening. Roughly 4000 American troops are Muslims.
So ask yourself.. what has driven these people in these poor war torn areas of the world to hate America so much... where do you think that comes from... what caused that?
I wonder?
2:31 take off your tin foil hat, crawl out from under your mothers porch and take a look at the real world!
Muslims are a terrorists, and killers, a group that according to their Koran, is ordered to kill non-Muslims, or as they say, Infidels.
Your Muslim President had his time, no it is time for a real American Christian to Make America Great Again!
Muslim Go Home!
Absolutely agree! Go to a Muslim country as a Christian and see how understanding they are NOT. Muslims are taught to hate everyone who will not convert!
If you know the word and the truth...It wont happen since this middle east problem is spritial. Sara and Hagars children fighting as foretold in the BIBLE.
Mossad.
Not Muslims.
Wake up and smell the Facism.
I don't get internet reception under my Mom's porch.
Don't know why?
Maybe it's the aluminum foil on my computer?
Why haven't you mentioned the ones that killed and try to kill innocent Americans here in US? I think the survivors that missing moms,dad's, sisters and brothers would feel very different from you. You IGNORING it is very sad and shows your FAKE NEWS narrative. Do you remember 9/11? Why haven't you posted the number of cancer victims that are currently dying from the chemicals? Not all are radical but to ignore simple facts is ridiculous. The USA is at war SAVING THE LIVES of Muslims. Your anti American stick doesn't flush anymore.
