"Islam's LAST Chance"--(Make up your minds)
5/11/04 | redrock

Posted on 05/11/2004 8:13:57 PM PDT by redrock

We're a little different....we Americans. Full of hope and life...wanting nothing more than to live a good,decent life...and pass on to our children the Freedom and chance to betterment that we ourselves have had.

We don't want to conquer the world...we don't want to even own the idiot thing. We watch dumb t.v. shows...and ,sometimes, even dumber movies. All with the expectation of trying to enjoy a couple of hours of leisure..and,really,doing nothing important.

And yet...we also aspire to goodness...and ,maybe, just a little greatness (always with the small 'g'). We TRY to do good the world over. We TRY to help our fellow man...to Free him...to show him that there IS a better way of life. We TRY to show our fellow dwellers on this rock that Freedom...the power to choose for oneself...is so priceless that it is worth fighting for.

Oh,for sure, we DO have our share of 'bad' people. Those who will commit acts of savagry or abuse against other Americans....or Iraqi's for that matter. We DO have people here who will commit all sorts of crime.....BUT...we also have the knowledge that when they are caught...MOST,if not all, will be punished.

But,most Americans, are just normal average people who go to work...pay their bills....raise their children.

Never forget....we are the 'Good Guys'.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have watched for the last year....the reporting of Americans being killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. (doing nothing more than trying to help fellow human beings). I have watched the burnt out vehicles along the roadside...I have seen the burnt and dismembered bodies of Americans being dragged thru the streets and hung from a bridge...all to the tune of dancing men and children chanting about how Allah is great.

I've watched for the last week...the unending circus about the abuses ,done by some, at a prison in Iraq. I have NOT liked what happened there...I have liked even less watching all the newspeople and politicians making asses of themselves in some sort of weird game of 'one-upmanship'. (after all...to BECOME a politician...you have to an ass anyway...and newspeople aren't much further up the ladder)

...and today, I have watched the moving pictures of a young American being beheaded.

I watched the Islamic Terrorists raise his head towards the camera...to try and instill fear in my heart. In the hearts of my friends. In the hearts of my children.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got news for them.

I don't scare that easy.

WE don't scare that easy.

I have written before....there is a cancer in the world today. Eating away at basic human decency. Eating away at Freedom...trying to return us to those glorious days of yesterday...where the Rulers of Islam could decide your life and death on a whim.

I have also said that UNLESS the so-called moderate Islam stands up and helps us fight those who do such savagry as I witnessed today...then they are no better than those who beheaded that young American.

Moderate Islam has a choice.

Life or death.

Choose life...and the rewards will be great. But it WILL take you getting invovled in actually fighting the Islamic Terrorists. It WILL take you standing up on your hindlegs and actually voicing your opposition to the Osama's of the world. It WILL take you discovering your testicles.

There is a cancer among us...and it is Islamic Terrorism.

...and if moderate Islam wants to just sit on the sideline then we will consider that you have chosen death.

...and we will help you get there.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

God Bless the United States of America....and God Bless the Soldiers who are protecting her.

Just saw this this morning - thanks for alerting me to this wonderful piece.

We are Americans! We fought the British for the God given right to be free people with the determination to govern ourselves and not buckle under to anyone who would be king, queen, dictator or religious fanatic.

We fought for the freedom to chose our own religious practices and beliefs; yet the liberal elites who are afraid of a Christian creche, the Menorah or the Ten Commandments display at a City Hall do not see the threat to rule us under Islamic religious law or face death.

The liberal elites are afraid of rote memorization of mathematical tables, yet they refuse the reality that in the name of religious fanaticism people are beheaded and mutilated, culture, education and art are dictated by rote propaganda.

The elites are afraid of American patriotism because pride in ourselves, of our accomplishments, of our egalitarian society and culture rejects the imposition of their will to dictate our lives.

They are about to find out that we are proud to be Americans who will not lose this war, this country and this freedom to any king, queen, dictator, religious fanatic or elitist.

>> Not the best move. <<

NOT a flame but a question:
What would you have us do?

I don't know what will wake up the liberal Chamberlains, if anything will. Another attack? A return to power? What is their goal? It certainly looks like their goal is the destruction to America.

Do they ever ask themselves what would happen if there was a nuclear or chemical attack in this country? The depression of the stock market would devastate us; we were lucky it didn't happen on 9/11.

We are lucky we are fighting the war overseas instead of over here. We are lucky we have a president who can see down the line and fully understands the goals of the terrorists.

There IS no 'moderate Islam'. That's like saying there is 'mostly dead'. You are or you aren't.
There is only silent,complicit, unwilling to actually fight but wanting an Islamic world, Islam and the outright, put Islam into violent action Islam.
The honest Muslims are the terrorists. They are showing the world the true, letter-of-the-law Islam.
The others are watching TV, and sitting in mosques-IN THIS COUNTRY- hoping Islam triumphs.

Find military targets to slam in an unexpectedly powerful show of power.

If we are too inept to have such a target, go blast the hell out of a piece of sand near a major city in the Middle East where it is noticed and rattle the whole area and say we got a bunch of bad guys whether it is true or not.

A show of power and making an impression is imperative immediately.

A major WMD attack in America will probably destroy the economy and throw us into a global depression. In the subsequent misery, millions of armed Americans will not forgive the pro-jihad Quislings among our so-called elites.

I think that's right. Nothing would save the malignant leftists from the public's wrath.

'Moderate Islam' is the rose colored glasses that cloud reality. It simply does not exist. Period.

I can agree with that, but we're going to have to be prepared to go further if the show of power doesn't work. Even if it does work, leaving your enemies alive to regroup and attack at a later time is not the best of choices either.

Soon. My guess is that a signal will go up, and about five or so million Berg-type slayings will take place here in a short amount of time.

We're almost at the final climax of a 1300 year old war.
