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 According to their Koran, it is the divinely ordained duty of all Muslims to fight until manmade law has been replaced by God's law, the Sharia, and Islamic law has conquered the entire world.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.
Huh?
Dude! You got to stop smoking that $*it.
You will never get anything straight otherwise.
Slave traders in Africa have always been 99% muslim.
Muslims may not enslave other muslims. History 101.
See?
Moderate Muslims use remote explosives instead of belt-bombs.
My comment was directed to what appears to be a troll.
Welcome to Free Republic
May I suggest a little reading before your next post?
http://www.freerepublic.com/help.htm#guidelines
My response, unsolicited, was intended to be a humorous one as I am certain was your question to the troll. He isn't going to truthfully answer.
Already happened. Timing and circumstance is determining the strategy and order of battle. But the world will not cringe in terror. The maggots who are determined to destroy civilization may not be terrorized either, but they will surely be destroyed for that is their heart's desire.
The eradication of terrorism, terrorists and their roots will continue and will be ramped up as circumstances demand -- on all fronts. It will take more than just the militaries of the world to accomplish the task. Every man a warrior. Every man a sword, a knife and a gun.
Never expect anyone to do something for you that you wouldn't do for yourself if you are ABEL.
PC. Political corruptiveness
I am sorry that the last seven times we Americans took up arms and sacrificed the blood of our youth, it was in the defense of Muslims (Bosnia, Kosovo, Gulf War 1, Kuwait, etc.).
I am sorry that no such call for an apology upon the extremists came after 9/11.
I am sorry that all of the murderers on 9/11 were Arabs.
I am sorry that Arabs have to live in squalor under savage dictatorships. I am sorry that their leaders squander their wealth.
I am sorry that their governments breed hate for the US in their religious schools.
I am sorry that Yassir Arafat was kicked out of every Arab country and hijacked the Palestinian "cause."
I am sorry that no other Arab country will take in or offer more than a token amount of financial help to those same Palestinians.
I am sorry that the USA has to step in and be the biggest financial supporter of poverty stricken Arabs while the insanely wealthy Arabs blame the USA.
I am sorry that our own left wing elite and our media can't understand any of this.
I am sorry the United Nations scammed the poor people of Iraq out of the "food for oil" money so they could get rich while the common folk suffered.
I am sorry that some Arab governments pay the families of homicide bombers upon their death.
I am sorry that those same bombers are seeking 72 virgins. I can't seem to find one here on Earth.
I am sorry that the homicide bombers think babies are a legitimate target.
I am sorry that our troops died to free more Arabs.
I am sorry they show so much restraint when their brothers in arms are killed. I am sorry that Muslim extremists have killed more Arabs than any other group.
I am sorry that foreign trained terrorists are trying to seize control of Iraq and return it to a terrorist state.
I am sorry we don't drop a few dozen "Daisy Cutters" on Fallujah. (Note: a "Daisy Cutter" is a 10,000 lb bomb, used to clear helicopter landing zones)
I am sorry every time terrorists hide they find a convenient "Holy Site".
I am sorry they didn't apologize for driving a jet into the World Trade Center that collapsed and severely damaged Saint Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church - one of our Holy Sites.
I am sorry they didn't apologize for flight 93 and 175, the USS Cole, the embassy bombings, etc.
I am sorry Michael Moore is American; he could feed a medium sized village in Africa.
I am sorry the French are french?
America will get past this latest absurdity. We will punish those responsible because that is what we do. We hang out our dirty laundry for all the world to see. We move on. That's one of the reasons we are hated so much. We don't hide this stuff like all those Arab countries that are now demanding an apology.
Deep down inside, when most Americans saw this reported in the news, we were like - so what? We lost hundreds and made fun of a few prisoners. Sure, it was wrong, sure, it dramatically hurts our cause, but until captured we were trying to kill these same prisoners. Now we're supposed to wring our hands because a few were humiliated? Our compassion is tempered with the vivid memories of our own people killed, mutilated and burnt amongst a joyous crowd of celebrating Fallujans.
If you want an apology from this American, you're going to have a long wait. You have a better chance of finding those 72 virgins.
Everyone before me has nicely put it. Wish I had more to offer. The title of your post is accurate and says it all, but I do love watching Islamo-Trolls or DU trolls, whichever that guy was, rant and rave impotently over the way the world is waking up to the real nature of Islam and it's murderous practitioners. Who knows? Someday it may become SO obvious even the Democrats will wake up about it.
(Look for that to happen years from now when Dubya goes to his reward and is being eulogized as one of the greatest Presidents for his role in the War on Terror. Just like they do with the Cold War the Dems will be pretending they were a crucial part of the victory instead of the appeasing cowards they always are.)
USA Government have never acknowledged who the real enemy is, and until we do we are not going to achieve anything.
Most of us know where terrorism comes from. Most of us know how this hatred began, and why it continues. Until the USA comes to terms with this, terrorism will continue, and our soldiers will be dying for nothing, for what we are doing is not stopping terrorism, and it is continuing as it always has. Kill the infidels where you find them is the motto of the Islamics.
Islam isn't the enemy, Islam is Islam. As long as they are not on your territory, as long as they have no territorial disputes with you, you'll have little problem with them. And if they want to live by the Koran, make their women wear bags, tolerate the unshod fanatics, etc., in their own nations that is their business. They will pay the price, good or bad, for it. The enemy is leftist multiculturalsm which in practice is nothing more than racist colonialism waged against their own peoples and nations. The problem is an internal civil war in the West, not a clash of civilizations.
You seem to be the post-a-diatribe-&-run type.
"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."
BS
"For a Muslim, the Koran is either followed to the letter or the violator is condemned to hell."
BS
"a Muslim must select a government (Caliphate) ruled by the Mullahs of his faith and follow the laws (Suras) of the Koran"
BS
Don't know where you get this stuff DJ, but it's clear you're NOT with the President's program.
I'd say welcome to FR, but I'm not sure I'd mean that and I'm not sure how long you're gonna last, anyway.
Thanks for the pings ER and CJ.
You seem to have completely missed the thesis of my posting.
Let me see if I understand what you have just posted.
I write an opinion piece and post it on the “Free” Republic to invite and exchange of opinions with other Conservatives.
You take points that I have made in my writing and simply dismiss them as BS, but you do not even attempt to make a single counter-point.
You state with seemingly first hand knowledge that I am not on the President’s team, but you don’t even bother to attempt to explain why. Are you insinuating that you are speaking for the President of the United States?
You issue a veiled threat that I may not last long on this net, but you hide behind a pseudonym, just as a Muslim terrorist will hide his face behind a black hood.
If you are speaking from a position of authority within the Free Republic hierarchy, and you think my opinions do not conform to the standards of free speech that you have prescribed at the Free Republic, just say so, and I will go back to the “Veterans Only” web-sites where I usually make my postings.
Yes, I agree with you. I do need to do something with my anger, but I had just watched a video of the beheading of a bound and helpless American, and I am now too old and beat up to pick up my rifle and do what I do best, so I just picked up my computer instead.
