If you really want to understand the enemy we face today then you MUST read what is contained in the link below. This will give you an insight into the black heart of the jihasists.

Here are a couple of snippets to whet your appetite to click on the link and read the entire article:

Begin excerpt:

“The first thing we learned growing up was to hate Jews,” Walid recalled. “I’ll never forgot the first song I learned in school, ‘Arabs our beloved and Jews our dogs.’ I used to wonder at that time who the Jews were, but repeated the words with the rest of the kids without any knowledge of the meaning.”

Soon after the Six-Day-War his father transferred him to a school in Bethlehem “where I grew in the faith of Islam, in which I was fed the idea that one day a fulfillment of an ancient prophecy by the Muslim prophet Mohammed would come to pass,” recalled Shoebat. “The prophecy foretold a battle in which the Holy Land would be recaptured and the elimination of the Jews would take place in a massive slaughter. ‘The day of judgment shall not come to pass until a tribe of Muslims defeat a tribe of Jews,’ it said, ‘in Jerusalem and the surrounding nations’.”

It was not long before Walid’s education led him to get involved in various terrorist activities. He routinely stirred up riots and lynch mobs, throwing firebombs and rocks at soldiers and pelting Jewish worshippers at the Western Wall. He even beat an Israeli soldier, with the intent to kill, but the soldier escaped at the last second.

“What the West does not understand about Islam,” Shoebat said on Tovia Singer’s radio broadcast, “is that Jihad has stages. If Muslims have the upper hand then Jihad is waged by force. If Muslim’s don’t have the upper hand then Jihad is waged through financial and political means. Since Muslims do not have the upper hand in America or Europe, they talk about peace while supporting Hamas and Hezballah. The whole idea of Islam being a peaceful religion emanates from that silent stage of Jihad."

The Imam (Islamic cleric) of Orange County, California, a guest on Singer’s radio show as well, took issue with Shoebat’s claims, saying that ‘Jihad’ represents an inner struggle and not the genocidal slaughter of infidels called for by Osama bin Ladin. Shoebat unblinkingly refuted the cleric’c claims, reciting verse after verse of Koranic scripture in its original Arabic and translating into English. “There are over one hundred quotes by Mohammad regarding Jihad – I could recite each one of them but we would be here all day. Every single one refers specifically to Jihad by the sword, by killing, by taking no prisoners – with only one quote referring to an internal struggle – called for by Mohammad after the complete conquest and occupation of Arabia.” He said that such claims were typical of the Islamic leadership in America, and are consumed eagerly by western audiences who do not want to believe that one of the major world religions poses such a danger to humanity.

Asked whether he believes that Musims in America truly adhere to the program of Jihad he described, Shoebat qualified his statements saying, “Afghans in the U.S. and Iranians who left Iran are predominately peaceful people. The Arabic speaking communities in America, however, do indeed support Osama bin Ladin and Hamas.” He cites a direct correlation between adherence to Islam and support of terrorism. “The less they know about Islam the more peaceful they are,” he said.

The lesson in this story needs to be learned by this nations leadership.

We need to understand that this kind of a mentality would not hesitate to detonate a nuclear device or worse in an American city. To hope beyond hope that Midaat Mursi and others like him will have a change of heart like Walid Shoebat did in Jerusalem is not the answer.

YOU DO NOT MAKE DEALS OR POLITICAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH THESE FANATICS.

I hope the US national leadership also understands the concept of "The Peace of Saladin". If not, then we're dead meat.

Good post Sean.

I really wonder if the disconnected, whiny, upper echelon pansy leaders we have in some elected and appointed offices can understand the English alphabet, much less a threat such as this. Most are too pre-occupied to lip service in the war on terror, and little offer a substantial contribution.

I've been in a government position most of my life, and I have never been more disgusted with leadership than I have in the last few years. Arrogance, turf protection, money squabbles, lots of theory and little implementation. People "in the know" are marginalized while idiots rule supreme.

We need to shake out about 6 layers of management and promote some of the less admired but more capable people in the netherworld to get some real results. We also have to take chances, make mistakes, and recover from them. There is no other solution, and it will be painful.

Sean,

There seems to be little doubt that the bulk of Muslims don't support the more radical forms of terrorism. You are however right that this is to a large extent in spite of some of the teachings of the Koran.

But many religions have had intolerent phases - the early history of the Jews, the Christian Inquisition, etc - but as their understanding has grown they have as St. Paul put it, "put aside childish things." This has not yet happened with Islam; perhaps it never will. I'm not convinced that it's an inevitable consequence of the religion, but I am convinced that its origins were a form of Christian heresy (I perhaps should say, Apostasy). They tend to concentrate on the Christian doctrine of the deity of Christ to distinguish themselves from "the polytheists," but in fact there have been other Christian cults and heresies that denied it as well ... but they have abandoned some even more fundamental doctrines, that is, His teachings. Even if He was just a prophet -- the greatest prophet, in fact -- and not God, to ignore the core of His teachings nullifies any claims to be following Him. Likewise with many of the old Jewish teachings, because Jesus' teachings were very much in line with much of Jewish thought.

However all of this is irrelevant to the present situation. Islam as it stands now has, as a whole, clearly borne bitter fruit. Although there are certainly some adherents who truly want to do the right thing, the religion as a whole must be condemned as one of the evil trees that Jesus spoke of in the Sermon on the Mount.

It gives me no pleasure and in fact great pain to say this, but I fear that modern Islam has been inspired from the other direction. Perhaps in fact it is the religion of the Beast spoken of by St. John the Divine who "causeth all, both great and small, to worship him."
