"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.

The bright side is that most of our kids won't have to go half-way around the world to fight for the country's survival. There will be exciting activities for the whole extended family.

Such a small price to pay for a wonderful experience in diversity. We'll appreciate it by-and-by, I hear.

Time to start FReeping mosques nationwide. DEMAND that they renounce jihad and all violence committed by there so-called militant brothers. I could go on but we know they will not do that.

Thanks, TexasC, redrock, and Travis...

Well said, all of you. I couldn't agree more. I just hope the rest of us wake up and realize that our well meaning but misguided attempt to live and let live in this case is going to destroy us.

All one needs to do is take a look at all the places in which Islam has gained a foothold to see what we are heading for if we do not stop it.

But they are too busy either
a) enjoying blissful ignorance or
b) focusing on making America so kind and gentle it's evolving into a lamb right in the middle of the lion's den.

It "feels" wrong to tell people how to live their religion. IMHO, it almost always is. But with one so dangerously aggressive and maniacal as Islam, we're going to have to tell them that they must show evidence of a great awakening, repudiating the way it is practiced by most of them now...

Like Christianity did long, long ago.


As for trusting them... No way. Not even the ones I've known personally who were friendly and "moderate". Heck, even those Christian Arabs I've known who grew up over there have no regard for honesty...it's all a matter of giving "face".

So, no. Not until the day I see moderate Muslims rebuking their own (remember the pathetic lack of turnout at the thing in Arizona a few weeks back?) when they push ideologies that are counter to those of America's founding fathers, and the day I see them knock it off with the parroting of lies about the history of Israel and "Palestine"...

"Perhaps you would then want to break open WW3?

Not the best move."

We are IN WWIII.

We just don't accept it yet.

"I am sure that I am NOT the only American is has reached his limit with these practitioners of the frigging religion of (gag) peace ... Like GW said ... you're either for us or against us ... and their time to decide is running out."

You are not the only one, my friend. There are many of us who feel the same, and many more are coming right behind us. And you're right: the mohammedans' time is running out. They have a narrow window of opportunity to stand up for decency and goodness, and attack this menace themselves, because if they don't, hell's a-coming to visit them very, very soon.

That's a fact.

"Strangely enough, I was not shaken. I looked very closely, I did not turn away, and the only thing I felt was anger, a cold, hard fury."

Good. That's a start, and an absolutely essential start. We MUST feel fury, and rage; but we must channel it in a very cold and calculating and merciless manner.

Ain't that the truth.

But it'll never happen. Not one in a thousand muslims will ever criticize any aspect of islam. There's always a "but" and an excuse for their barbarity.

You say what a lot of us are thinking, so the chances of you getting banned are slim and none.

I'm just as concerned about the muslims in this country as I am about those abroad! I've heard nothing of substance from them about the evil of radical islamists, I see no effort to stop the Saudis from funding wahabbism, the source of violent islam!

It will be a struggle to the death and in the process, we will lose many of the liberties we cherish. There is no way to remove a cancer without taking some clean flesh with it...

I agree with your post, but it struck me to note the very strong contradiction between your post and your tag.

"You mean like the 10,000 some Muslims serving in the military?"

Like Sgt. Akbar who killed two of his officers and wounded many more?

Or the FBI agent who refused to work against his fellow muslims?

Or the muslim "chaplain" at Gitmo who betrayed us?

Wake up and smell the stench!

Bravo Redrock .. I've been thinking the same thing too. Actually, the panel on Fox was just discussing it - saying some of the same things.
