What is really going on in the Middle East

Finally there is media coverage about Muslims and their so called religion of peace, “Islam”. But as has been the case for decades now the corrupt media is either flat out lying or totally ignorant. The media would have us believe that this is just about a bunch of young kids yearning for a taste of Democracy and freedom, That they just want to throw off the shackles of oppression like our Forefathers during the Revolution and some Americans are even calling for the US to intervene on their behalf.

People have just lost their minds if they think that the West could ever live in peace with Islam. As you read this and get to the end if you think that the West can live in peace with Islam you should have your right to give birth taken away because we already have enough idiots in America.

What does Islam mean? Its translation means Peace and that’s what Presidents, Prime Ministers, Harry Reid, the Clinton’s, Politician’s, and the media have been telling us since before 9/11. Yet open the Quran and you will find statements like “Slay the Pagans wherever you find them” (along with at least another 480 just like it). Commands that inspire people like the Pakistani son of a small store owner to say “I Amir Maweir Siddiqui son of Abdul Rahman Siddiqui state in the presence of god I will slaughter infidels my entire life and may god give me strength in fulfilling this oath”.

Good thing we’re not Hittites or Jebusites.

This says it all... At the siege of Vienna in 1683 Islam seemed poised to overrun Christian Europe.
We are in a new phase of a very old war.

My concern that with the falling of Tunisia, Egypt, and now the oil rich Libya;

Those three newly independent countries could form into one Islamist country. Egypt, without oil, would love to become part of Libya, Libya would love to control the Suez canal, and gain the tourism, and fertile Nile. I'm not sure what Tunisia brings to the party, but more population and land. A new African "superpower" all controlled by Islam scum.

Islamic scum? Isn’t that a little harsh?

They are just under marching orders from Iran. Nothing to be concerned about. Obama has their flank.

Right now it is all working in our favor. Why you may ask, here is the answer:

Muslims are killing Muslims. See we win.

I am not sure what is going on but it is clear that it is well organized.

That does scare me a bit.

Not to detract from the message, but facts are important when recounting history.

There were several sailors and soldiers who died along with the Marines in Beirut in 1983.

Additionally, the bombing of Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1996 claimed 19 U.S. Airmen, not Marines.

Having made the ultimate sacrifice, may they all Rest in Peace.

Here's a toast to the victors at Tour, October 10, 732!

A very old war, indeed.
