What Will It Take To Wake Up America?
townhall.com ^ | 9/23/2018 | Adm. James A. Lyons

Posted on 09/23/2018 6:16:45 AM PDT by rktman

It has been 17 years since the Islamic jihadists conducted their terrorist attack on America, 11 September, 2001, killing almost 3,000 innocent Americans who were doing nothing more than going to work. What was the ideology that drove these Islamic jihadists to carry out such atrocious acts? Our political and military leadership who have been thoroughly indoctrinated in “political correctness” still remain incapable of identifying the ideology and the enemy. Clearly, the plague of jihadi terrorism has its roots in Islam. However, due to our former president’s obfuscation of the scriptures of Islam found in the Quran and Shariah law, which drive jihadi terrorism, he has facilitated the spread of Islam and its supremacists’ ideology.

Continuing the use of terms like “countering violent extremism and work place violence,” is nothing more than perpetuating the Obama administration’s propaganda, which only confuses the American public’s understanding of the true nature of the threat. The jihadists have been thoroughly indoctrinated in the core canonical beliefs of Islam as written in the Suras (chapters) of the Quran, which drives their violence. It certainly is not for a lack of a job or educational opportunities, which is part of the progressives’ nonsense propaganda. Further, using the term “radical Islam” to describe jihadi terrorism implies that there is some “moderate” form of Islam. Regrettably, that is not the case, nor have the jihadists hijacked Islam.

If there are "moderates", they should be ratting out the radicals they know live in their communities. Sad to say there are a lot of current and past flag officers with a left leaning bent. Thanks Admiral.

ISLAM. An ideology which says if you refuse to accept it you must be dominated, enslaved or killed. Proof that Satan is very active in the world (like we needed proof).

So-called moderates in Islam are considered apostate by true Islamists, as deserving of death as we Infidels.

Too much to respond in a single post. Two major points 1) Lack of critical leadership by GW Bush. Bush, who’s family became wealthy dealing with the 9/11 Saudis in the “oil business” did nothing to hold the Saudi government, which was well aware of the Wahhabi motivated plot, and babbled instead about a “religion of peace”. There was no righteous anger or response.2) Over the last fifty years the American population has been demasculinized. The perverse hedonistic popular, anti Christian culture and perverse liberalism the major reasons. It made the general population very susceptible to the Stockholm syndrome and hence the bizarre sympathy for Muslims and the vulnerability to ongoing attacks.

That sounds very much like the American moonbat Left and their drive to destroy the US and subjugate all who oppose them.

The current Democrat Freakshow Riot ought to wake up every American to reality, but obviously half the country is psychotic.

Realistically, I suspect that this awakening will not occur until yet another major jihadist terrorist attack on the United States results in mass casualties and a heavily armed militia group responds by killing dozens or hundreds of radical Mohammedanists inside the country. The fallout would be ugly indeed, and most sane Americans would very much hope this dark scenario is never realized.

One might hope instead for a serious cultural shift that results in radical Mohammedanists being forcibly ejected from the United States as inherently unable to live in peace with Western values. This sort of cultural shift won't happen by itself, though, and I'm not certain what might bring it about. Perhaps the dying polities of Britain and France, succumbing slowly but surely as they are to outright dhimmitude, will eventually provide the trigger. The spectacle of a British or French non-Mohammedanist being publicly lashed into a bloody ruin with a whip for having sex outside of marriage might serve at last to alarm a large number of Americans into recognizing the clear and present danger of radical Mohammedanism.

If anything, a broad reading of history strongly suggest that America will NOT react and take action until a comprehensive and existential threat has manifest -— with many thousands of dead. If we’re THAT lucky.

Nope. It’s hopeless and we’re self-blinded into inaction, just like the moment when Chamberlain waved his litte signed paper in the air at the airport.

IF we’re lucky, the situation will still be (barely) save-able at that moment. But by the time we wake up as a nation, it could easily be too late.

(...and that statement itself will offend many.)

We know that Satan is the “god of this world” from the Word, but he sure as heck isn’t the Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, nor is he the King of Kings or the Lord of Lords. Satan is screwed, and our Redeemer is coming sooner than we think.

Hallelujah to The Lamb!

Once Bush went all “religion of peace”, the 9/11 Commission white washed the event and politicians and lawyers started handling the war, America lost and will continue to lose. BTW, the idea of a “moderate Muslim” is a myth. We are 17 years in post 9/11 with not much to show for it.

I got it. At my age, we can only pray that someone does wake up in time.

“...(the Saudis)well aware of the Wahhabi motivated plot,...”

Are you certain of this?

I am just asking, not confronting you. I’ve read a couple of times that the Saudi government played no part in the attacks.

But that doesn’t mean they didn’t know about it!
