When our Liberal-Left news media tell us Islam is the "Religion of Peace," and we are only threatened by a few fundamentalist Muslims, they are either attempting to mislead the American people or they are trying to appease our enemies, and it is not too difficult to determine which it is. What they could say, but do not dare, is that there are over 1.5 billion Muslims in the world and all of them can be divided into two categories, fundamentalist Muslims and moderate Muslims. A fundamentalist Muslim believes his God demands that he must either kill or convert the Infidel, and he is actively striving to obey his God. A moderate Muslim believes his God demands that he must either kill or convert the Infidel, and he has not yet had either the means or opportunity to obey his God.
Any person who would have you believe that a moderate Muslim is no different than a Catholic, Protestant, or a Buddhist has either never conducted any research into the creation and history of the Islamic faith, or he is simply trying to mislead you. Anyone knowledgeable in the basic tenets of Islam knows that it is not just a religion but an all encompassing and all controlling way of life as was Stalinist Communism. The only difference being that Stalin ruled under the threat of death, and Islam rules under the threat of death and eternal damnation.
There is no half measure in Islam. For a Muslim, the Koran is either followed to the letter or the violator is condemned to hell. There is no law but God's law, and if given a choice, a Muslim must select a government (Caliphate) ruled by the Mullahs of his faith and follow the laws (Suras) of the Koran. According to their Koran, it is the divinely ordained duty of all Muslims to fight until manmade law has been replaced by God's law, the Sharia, and Islamic law has conquered the entire world. Recent events have made it clear that Muslim immigrants do not come to this country to become Americans, follow our laws, and enjoy the freedoms our Constitution guarantees but only come to spread Islam as required of them by their Koran.
The Koran was written between the sixth and thirteenth century AD and has changed little since then. It has effectively kept its followers locked in the dark ages and now it threatens to pull the world into its abyss. Ironically, it is we who have given them the means for our own destruction through our generous payment for their oil. Instead of using this largess to pull themselves out of the dark ages, they are using it in an attempt to pull us in with them. The goal of Islamic Jihad is nothing short of the total destruction of Western Civilization.
How does a country defend its self from such a threat? Defend is the wrong term to use. The slogan "The best offense is a good defense" reflects a defeatist (read French) attitude that will only lead to the fall of a nation. There is no substitute for a good offense. When a nation is threatened, its leaders must identify the source of that threat and eliminate it. That is, after all, why we elect leaders and why we maintain our armed forces.
The threat that the United States and the civilized world now faces is Islam, but the source of this threat is Saudi Arabia and their almost unlimited financial resources. The Saudis have not only bankrolled this Islamic Jihad (holy war) that now threatens the civilized world, but they have also provided the bulk of its foot soldiers, leadership cadres and, of course, Osama bin Laden.
For over forty years, the Saudis have sent out their Fundamentalist Muslim missionaries to spread their Wahabbi sect of Islam throughout the Mid East. They have constructed and staffed countless Madrassas (boarding schools/orphanages) and have provided a free education to any male who wished to attend. These Saudi funded Madrassas currently provide their pupils with a basic education that otherwise could never be furnished by their families or by their government. In addition to a basic education, Saudi Madrassas indoctrinate their pupils in fundamentalist Islam and are also taught to hate the United States and Israel. It was from these Saudi Madrassas that all of the September 11 attackers came. But not for Saudi funding, these mad men would still be in their desert hovels, abusing their women, loving their livestock, and worshiping a God who has more in common with the Satan found in the Old Testament than he does with the Father of Jesus.
There are only three possible options in dealing with these people and diplomacy is not one of them.
1. The United States and our allies can enjoin the Muslims in their Holy War and endeavor to either kill or convert 1.5 billion Muslims.
2. The United States and our allies can seize the Saudi oil fields and freeze Saudi investments, thereby cutting off Saudi funding of Islamic terrorists.
3. The United States and our allies can do nothing, and let the situation play its self out.
The first two options will never happen. With half the U.S. population and half our government made up of “I won’t fight and you can’t make me” Liberal Democrats, no U.S. President could get congressional approval for such action. That leaves the United States, the most powerful nation in the world, impotent and unable to counter an aggressive, fanatical, well armed and well financed enemy that is determined to destroy us. Option three, to do nothing, is what we will inevitably do, and it has the potential of being the most catastrophic option of all.
Any clear thinking person can see what will in all probability happen; Muslim terrorists will eventually obtain, buy or steal one or more nuclear weapons. As soon as they have nuclear weapons in their possession, they will use them where they can do the most damage to the United States. One or more nuclear weapons, strategically placed and detonated, could cause the U.S. economy to collapse. If our economy collapses, our government could soon follow suit.
If our government collapses, who will seize control? It will not be an apologetic Liberal Left, but it will most likely be a revenge-crazed Right that takes control of our military and its nuclear arsenal. Very quickly, Mecca, Tehran, Riyadh and every Muslim capitol in the world could be reduced to radioactive craters. Once the bloodletting starts, who can say where it will end? Any nation that identifies its self as a possible threat to the U.S. will probably be eliminated. This could very well cause the collapse of Western Civilization and plunge the world into another Dark Age. This is such an apparent possibility that it may be why many countries now view the U.S. as a greater threat to their safety than they do Islamic terrorists. The world knows that Islamic terrorists will never be able to defeat the United States militarily, but they also know that these terrorists just might be able to awaken the beast within us, and if that ever happens, the world may be made to cringe in terror.
Muslim Jihadists may very well be successful in their attempt to destroy Western Civilization, but if and when that happens, Islam would surely have already been reduced to nothing but a dead religion practiced only in the depths of Hell.
THIS AND THE NEXT 10-20 YEARS WILL ONE DAY BE KNOWN AS WW3 OR THE GREAT MUSLIM WAR---in hindsight
Uhh, yeah, black Africans enslaved other Black Africans, then sold them to the white man at the docks.
Your PC version of slavery (whites invaded Utopian Africa and indiscriminantly captured and sold blacks into slavery) is absurd and untrue.
-Eric
Who is "we?" and what Muslims were ever enslaved besides by fellow Muslims?
Keep trying to get it straight.
Can't quite agree with you there bunky, The right (read rational, not to mention, if like Bush, has a well working moral compass) will not idescrimiately turn the middle east into a parking lot, but I wouldn't put that past some whack job like kerry of algore, out of an irrational knee-jerk reaction to "do something."
Most of the slavery in the world today is Muslim created.
Not to mention rape, torture, murder, mutilation to name a few.......
This is a religious war. The free world needs to wake up. For every hostage killed blow up a mosque. Bomb Mecca, Medina and bulldoze down the Dome of the Rock.
PC = Political Catastrophe.

Welcome (back?) to FR.
What was your last screen name?
An argument can be made that all the sexually mutilated, uneducated, beaten, bought and sold women of Islam are little more than slaves.
You thought you could fool us didn't you, Ali?
How are things in Baghdad?
This premise is flawed, but the do nothing scenario is valid. We just don't have to kill 1.5 billion muslims. Just all of the fundamentalist ones. Force amd violence is respected in that part of the world.
Option 4: Keep doing what we are doing, root the bastards out all over jihadistan and kill them. No one said it will be quick or easy, eventually, they may get the message.
Osama bin Laden.
Excellent article. Dead on right about Islam.
Here's a question.
Why do Muslims take the fight against terrorism as an attack on Islam if Islam is not the root problem?
What is the bizarre, group think, the borg-like knee-jerk reaction that denies Islam's part in terrorism when the terrorist are screaming to Allah as they decapitate people?
Why can they not separate the terrorists among them- the Muslim terrorists- from the 'good' of their religion? Is it that the 'good' facade is the fantasy face of Islam? Terrorism is it's true face, and it's heart- and it is too public now, too ugly. It must be denied even as it is attacking.
Horrific crimes have been committed by people of other religions, yet we do not take the actions of those individuals as indicative of those faiths. Because we know they are aberrations. They are evil DESPITE the faith they claim to profess.
I took no offense to Christianity when the Murrah Building was bombed. Because I know that is not what Christianity teaches. That was the perverted act of an evil individual.
Yet here we have Muslims concocting fantastic 'explanations' for terrorism, denial that the perpetrators of 9-11 were Muslim, and going to mind-boggling lengths to portray themselves- and their cult- as inherently innocent.
There is something pathologically wrong with the reasoning that says that not only is the image in the mirror not accurate, there is no image at all!
I believe that their visceral defense of Islam, the denial of it as the basis of terrorism, is proof that they know full well that the world now sees Islam for what it is.
They protest too much- and too late.
Nothing good can come from Islam. It is poison to itself, and now to the world.
