Spot on, sadly.
YGBSM? The NYT hasn't pulled this guy to the alter of sacrifice and butchered him yet? He hits it right on the head, but I am still stunned this guy exists at NYT. I would say this act of barbarism would be a wake up call to the world, but if 9/11 wasn't I don't know what will be.
The cult of death lives and thrives because of the ability, or disability, of some people to see evil when confronted by it. Liberals and leftists of all stripes will have much to answer for when the time comes.
When I read this it reminded me of an earlier post of mine:
God help us all.
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. God helps those who help themselves.
The reason many people cannot look at, see, and name evil is that they are afraid or unwilling to go to the only One who can deliver them from evil.
Luke 11
1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
As long as they believe that there is a reward in blowing up infidels there will be no end to it. And as long as this country allows this to be taught in Muslim schools we will experience it.
Just imagine if you will the Pope and all of his Bishops calling for the murder of all non-believers (men, women, and children). World forces would have the Catholic Church shut down overnight. So I ask...
WHY IN THE HELL IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO SHUT DOWN THIS MUSLIM DEATH CULT?
Bayonetting an 18 month old baby? Good God forbid I should ever get used to that!
Let's get to the heart of the matter. These "people" were raised by Islam. They were taught by Islam. They got their ideology from Islam. They were trained by Islam. They were funded by Islam. They were armed by Islam.
They weren't "hostage takers". They weren't "militants". They weren't "kidnappers". They were muslims, acting on behalf of Islam and at the behest of Allah, written through the "Prophet" and recorded in the Koran.
They've done no different that Islam has done for almost 1,500 years.
"Islamic Fundamentalists" is a redundant term made up by the West.
It's ALL Islam. When Beslan happened and 911 happened and Madrid happened and Bali happened and Telaviv happened, every muslim in the world thought how horrible it was, then a split second later, the thought skittered through their brains, "It's ok. They're only kafir, infidels." In much the same way, Nazi guards had the thought skitter through their brains that "It's ok. They're only Jews."
Europe should be watching what is happening VERY closely. It may well happen in France or Spain next. Islam has VERY big grudges against them.
Islam is a wretched failure at motivating or providing any progress or comfort to all of the ignorant dipsh*ts who practice it so they get PO'd and emotionally hysterical and want to kill people they blame for the failures of their stupid religion and all the countries that harbor it. There's a real large emotional component to their hysteria that has no basis in fact.
Another reason for the failure of Islam is their abysmal treatment and disenfranchisement of women. No society can fully funcion with only half of it's members working, producing and sharing in it's problems and benefits. Until Muslim women have equal benefits and rights in their society their culture will remain backward and poor.
Islam needs to be eradicated from the earth. It's truly that simple. AIDS? Forget it. Here's a disease that takes FAR more innocent lives per year. Wipe it out........the world becomes a far better place.
It's about time the Western world realizes this and acts upon it.
One small quibble. He wrote: "We should by now have become used to the death cult that is thriving at the fringes of the Muslim world."
No, it is NOT at the fringes. Not at all. It is strictly mainstream, and approved of by the normal inhabitants of Middle Eastern countries. It is supported by the Arab street.
Let me say this again. The actions are mainstream. Not on the fringe. Not exceptional.
I have just made an exceptional claim. You, gentle reader, have a right to demand some basis. Please read "Imperial Hubris" by Anonymous. You can buy it on Amazon, and it's probably in the library.
This is written by a working CIA analyst. No classified information, of course, but background on the nature of the conflict that puts a lot into perspective. There are extensive scientific polls. The Arab street is against us, and they support bin Laden.
Please, read this book.
You must agree that this is perhaps Armaggeddon, do you not?
And in the meantime, this grandmother could and WOULD be willing to destroy one of those spawns of Satan with my bare hands. But make no mistake - there will be many innocent victims of this war. For all of us who only wish to live in peace, I pray God's strength to do what we must.
Oops! I forgot to remove my tag line from a previous post but in a strange way, it fits!
Well said!
David Brooks wrote a column a while back saying that conservatives should not only support gay marriage, they should INSIST on it. So he's a mixed blessing. Some of his columns are great, and some are garbage.
