You get a gold star for that analogy!

I happened upon a piece in last Sunday’s Washington Post, which was written by Muslim journalist Mona Eltahawy. Having moved to London with her parents when she was 7 years of age, Ms. Eltahawy wrote that “the London bombings did it for me” and that she has reached the end of her patience with the terrorists’ excuses that US President Bush and/or British PM Tony Blair ‘made them do it’. Also, Eltahawy correctly advises that Islam does not mean peace. Rather, it means submission. And if we people of the world still have any capability of believing what we see and hear, this “submission” has firmly included the radical Islamic believers “submitting” to blowing up or killing everything and everyone with which they don’t agree.
The Muslim terrorists are, apparently, required to totally capitulate to the wills of their radical Islamic “we-hate-everything-about-the-West” masters. No questions or discussions are allowed. Although these violent behaviors have been accelerating for many years they have, at the very least, been ongoing since first President Bush’s and the Clinton’s administrations.
For those who still erroneously and disingenuously maintain that the US’s Iraq war involvement was and is the reason for the ongoing terrorist slaughters (including the myriad liberal and leftist world journalists), I’d like to again refresh your memories; by reiterating my comments from a previous column. At the very least, please make some genuine attempt to absorb them.
• When the USS Cole was attacked by terrorists in Yemen, we were not in Iraq
• When the first Twin Towers’ terrorists’ attack occurred, we were not in Iraq
• When the Kobar Towers were bombed by the Islamo-fascists, we were not in Iraq
• When the 9/11 catastrophic terrorist attacks occurred, we were not in Iraq
Why are the above realities and factual occurrences difficult for so many to grasp? Or, do they understand them, after all? Could it be that these are simply too frightening and patently unpleasant to be addressed? Is it merely more comforting to believe that they didn’t happen? Or, is it that the USA is a “safe target” (and the real Islamo-fascist menace is not) for the liberals and leftists of the world to vilify? Contrary to some popular conspiracy theories, the USA does not violently attack journalists. If it did, I daresay we’d see a complete turnaround in their ‘we hate the US’ rhetoric. They’d be too afraid to voice them.
Of course, the current real and present danger is that some of the journalists’ readers actually buy into the messages of the ‘poor-misunderstood-terrorists’ and the bad-democracy-spreading-USA’. Further, I have actually received a number of communiqués from self-proclaimed environmentalists advising me that endangered species (including the California Arroyo toad) are actually more important than the terrorists’ activities. The head in the sand phenomenon continues. I wonder what justifications will be written and spoken of by the left-elite when the first dirty bomb is exploded in-country by the misunderstood terrorists.
Strangely, conservatives don’t seem to think the terrorists ‘misunderstood’. They seem to know exactly what these beings are doing. In fact, conservatives actually heard the message of a Muslim cleric (and those like him) calling himself Abu Osama who preached to his followers—in London—of the London bombing attacks: “The London bombings were about striking terror into the heart of the enemy.” The enemy, this time England, is the same country that gave political asylum to those Muslims fleeing their own oppressive countries and societies.
Many of these same refugees, including one of the recent terrorist bombers, have also been placed on the British dole; the same dole that apparently paid for the weapons used in the recent London attacks. But, then again, maybe I shouldn’t be too harsh with the terrorists. Perhaps, I should adopt the more neo-lib’s attitude (not to be confused with the traditional liberal) of acknowledging that these terrorist activities are only a cultural difference between the two societies. Maybe, it’s just the Islamo-fascist’s way of reaching out to those who helped them to escape repressive societies (by providing them refuge), enjoy free-speech and assisted them toward achieving freedoms they had not previously known. Maybe, after all is said and done, it’s just the terrorists’ way of saying “thank you” to their benefactors!

I wonder if American islamists have a full comprehension of the history, mentality and sheer overwhelming MIGHT of this "sleeping giant" to whom they are delivering "Islam = submission = surrender?"
Wow - thanks for the post. Notable too that many more are on the Canadian dole and I fear time is running out for this set of benefactors as well.

Good read PING!!
Islam is to Peace as Rape is to Love.
islame is a vehicle liberals exploit to spread their hate of America.
You're probably right...with gun control what it is up North, they are sitting ducks...
This is my concern...""sleeping giant..."
WHEN is this sleeping giant going to wake up from its coma?
Good article - Ping!
You get a gold star for that analogy!
Gun control and human failures like Carolyn Parrish.
What can I say.....Quack!
At least good enough for a tagline....and to be beheaded by the ROP if they could identify me.
Unfortunately, I think they do.
I hate to contemplate another 9/11, or worse, but I have the feeling that that is what it might take to shake loose the dreamers who are still counting on the newest rendition of Kumbaya for protection against islamofascism.
Thanks for your comment, jan!

Islam means idiot in english
It is occurring as we speak. The articles being posted are a part of that awakening. 7/7 served to remove the mask from the demon's face.
CHARLITE...thanks for this post....it should be shouted from the mountain tops....and certainly from the MSM...that this is the true nature of Islam....always has been...always will be.
After hearing the reaction to one brave, honest (non PC) politician, Tom Tancredo, and how he has been vilified for daring to suggest that we THREATEN our enemy AFTER they have nuked a few of OUR cities, I have lost all faith that our "leaders" will protect this Country.They are slaves to Political Correctness and have sold their souls (and our Freedom) for power.
We must fight to keep our 2nd Amendment rights at all costs. We may have to fight this evil cult, that is now within our own cities, ourselves!
