Our Americans of Arabic descent could follow the example set for them by our citizes
of Japanese descent.


But first someone would have to explain to them that the term "Go For Broke"
has already been taken.

(dating myself by admitting I saw that movie as a kid...)

Great post. Thank you, Incorrigible.

Thank you for the ping, dighton. 

   
      Thank you, Patrick Nalu, U.S. Marine.

 
        
             Patrick Nalu and his father, Klaus Nalu,
             in front of their home in Barnwell, Ala.

His father insists that his pride in Patrick would be the same whatever his destination. "I will be happy if he goes anywhere and helps people win their freedom."

But Nalu does reveal an intensity of feeling about the land of his youth and how he aches to see it change, even to the point of picking up arms himself.

"If they will take me," the ruggedly compact but aging father says defiantly, "I will go there."

"Maybe this will, in fact, ultimately boil down to a war between Islam and the rest of the world."

There is no "maybe" about it. This is a war between true good and true evil or God & Satan, or Judeo-Christianity and Islam.

Islam is the religion of Satan as plain as the Apostle John could write it in his letter of 1 John 2. The spirit of anti-Christ now come into the world: "Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

This war will last until Jesus returns...unless we eliminate every last one of them. Appeasement, ceasefire, pull-back only gives them time to regroup and re-arm. No "deals" can be made with the the devil Satan...just as no deals can be made with rabid dogs.

Consider what One-eyed cleric Abu Hamza al Masri said, "Jihad, in general, is striving for [the] sake of God to establish his law…on earth, and the backbone of his law is fighting. So every fighting cause of God is Jihad. What are [the] consequences for infidels? If you live in my property, and you don't pay me my rent, then you get out and Jihad is to get you out. This is the property of God. You don't worship him, you get out and how [do] you get out? You get killed."

So, think this "maybe will be against Islam and the rest of the world?"

Well, in my belief, it will be Christian America (as long as we are a Christian nation) along with Israel against Islam. As for Europe, they have gone over to the "dark side" and are siding with our enemies (except for perhaps Britain...for now) .

Why can't all our middle eastern immigrants follow this course?

Because this guy:

1. Got here before multiculturism and diversity started to undercut American culture

2. Was persecuted in his own country for being a Christian.

My personal experience has found that immigrants (illegal or otherwise) that come here to make a buck, make no effort to become American.

Those that come here to escape religious persecution or communism still believe in this country and what it has to offer.

Well .. I just try to remember that these people in Iraq have been living under a brutal dictator for 30 years. I would imagine it's very difficult to make an about face in how you deal with things.

Then again .. there will always be whiners and complainers .. no matter what.

, there are two flags flying -- the red, white and blue of the United States, and the blue with white insignia of the U.S. Marine Corps.

Don't know what flag Klaus is flying but he needs to get an official scarlet and gold one.

Note that's a reporter's interpretation of the flag. I would presume the Nulus are flying the proper flag!

Not all "Christians" are on America's side. Palestinian Christians don't seem ready to turn against Arafat, eventhough he does nothing for them.

Great story. I wish we had more people like this. More American than Michael Moore. Much more.
