Never Again: The Gates of Vienna Revisited
American Thinker ^ | 24 Oct, 2023 | Patricia Henry

Posted on 10/24/2023 4:25:23 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The murderous demonic sneak attack on Israel from Gaza on October 7 must be fully understood in the context of Islamic history, warfare and tactics. All of the major and most of the minor media are utterly without comprehension and have as usual defaulted to their prejudices

SNIP

The weak minds and ignorance of most modern folk are stunned by the horror and cruelty that was perpetrated and fall into easy explanations based on rational emotional responses. This must be the result of decades of anger because of cruel treatment by the Israelis. It’s perfectly understandable that people deprived of their land and dignity and under military occupation by jackbooted military thugs would explode this way, isn’t it?

Leave aside, for a moment, civilized people’s responsibility to behave with a degree of control and balance, even when very angry, and to direct vengeance only at the authors of their pain and suffering, and not at every opportune innocent bystander in their reach. There is a much darker and more sinister purpose to turning insane murderers loose to gain your victory.

Even the Hamas death squads and their masters know the warning of Admiral Yamamoto when he received word of the success of Japan’s sneak attack on Pearl Harbor: “I fear we may have awakened a sleeping giant. A military man cannot be proud of smiting a sleeping enemy.”

In the long history of warfare between Islam and Christendom (and nearly everyone else), savagery and murderous cruelty were often tools and not simply the result of hard-fought battles. We live in a soft and relatively pampered age, and most know nothing of the wonton murder of tens of thousands which regularly occurred with the sack of cities and towns all across the ancient world.

Most people do not know the background of mohammad nor do they know that islam is a religion of conquest.

I think that the actions recommended at the end of this article are the only way Israel makes this stuff stop.

Day care centers vulnerable. That’s where these animals would hunt.

The October slaughter of innocents was on the anniversary date of the Battle of Lepanto when forces of Christendom enforced by the Rosary defeated the Ottoman navy, marking the end of the expansion of the Ottoman Empire.

Everyone knows that, right?

Turks conquered the East, formerly Christian and Jewish. Including the whole present day Turkey, Middle East and Egypt.
For up to 500 years they hold unto Balkans, so till today they are impoverished. The raped, enslaved, killed.
Every fifth Christian boy had to be given to slavery (slave tax), girls filled harems.

They were eventually kicked out of Europe by the first Balkan war 1912!
In most places they were evicted, but they stayed in Bosnia and Kosovo. See what is happening there now.

While I agree with you and the author, I don’t think the West has the stomach to do what is needed. Simply, Radical Islam needs to be exterminated!!!

But on the other hand wouldn’t doing that put the West down at the same sub-human level of the Islamic Savages? The Democrats, Liberals, Marxist Leftists, Media Whores will all declare that the WEST are the real BARBARIANS if Israel destroys the Barbaric Savage Islamist. These savages need to be destroyed on their terms, their rules, there level of warfare.

I believe that the West can survive being called bad names in the media because as it stands today, we know the West can’t survive with Radical Islamists being allowed to exist.

It’s long past time to wade into the mud and stop “playing nice” with the pig and JUST KILL IT!!!

There are hundreds of “soft target” — unguarded, no personal firearms allowed on premises, many civilians etc — such as shopping malls, theaters, nursing homes, office buildings, all school campuses, bars, on and on and on, which would be “easy pickings” for mass casualty-oriented terrorists. Minimum effort, maximum high casualty opportunities.

Yes. I reprise the instructions of that day to all Christians who were not in the fight proper. Christus vincit!

The new Ottoman Empire is coming.

And every single Muslim living in Europe will fight for it.

The western mind looks at children and see kindness and innocence. The eastern mind sees children as potential enemies who will get revenge for what was done to their families.

Israelis love all children, regardless of race or religion. Hamas only loves their own children, and only to the point that they can be of use.

This is true, but the most emotionally compelling targets are day care centers and elementary schools. These should wise up and be prepared.
