The enemy within -- and it's not who you think (David Warren nails Islamofascism's 5th column)

Because they have already decided we are the enemy.

[Sam Gamgee]

What a wonderful religion it is that teaches it is holy to lie!

[GMMAC]

"Why do thou protest so much that Islam is a noble and peaceful religion?"

Short answer:
Because it's both morally correct & tactically wiser to confront the Islamofascist minority within Islam than the billion plus Muslims worldwide.

Not to mention, about zero in the media have an MBA from Harvard. They all know President Bush earned (you don't get those other than by earning them) one of the elite degrees in the world, and so they ignore that fact because if they didn't, they'd have to respect it.

Any way you slice it, he's got them beaten six ways to Sunday. The fact of it is, people who win the presidency tend to be extraordinary. Of course, to be more charitable than the conservative media deserve, the "Prince Hal lackabout becomes Henry the hero" storyline of President Bush's life can be an appealing one (no possible excuse exists for the Left press), and as the anti-Clinton, President Bush himself is so modest about his pre-government accomplishments, that as with President Reagan we will probably only much later learn of many of them.

You know, Tolik, between this, the broader culture wars, all the criticism of the president's efforts to protect us from catastrophe, and all the efforts to undermine American tradition and civilization, at some point, when can we say that we can no longer consider people in this 5th column as fellow Americans, as we've traditionally thought of the term. To me, they're as much foreigners as anyone in China -- their thinking and character is at least as alien to me, irredemably and irreperably so. I know Romanians abroad with whom I have more in common, and who have more love of America's culture and tradition, than so many libs. As far as I'm concerned, America today is at least two different countries masquerading as one. The big question is when and how the two will be reconciled, and at what cost -- or whether they can be.

[GMMAC]

It's the same everywhere: especially since 9/11, there are but 2 sides in the world today.

Given that it's plainly obvious which side the left throughout the globe is on, we should pay far closer attention to those who promote counter-productive disunity & acrimony within our own ranks.

As example, FR's small, but ever vocal, minority of knuckle-dragging xenophobic morons who routinely disparage & vilify America's friends & allies are both quite obviously less than true patriots & effectively doing their nation's enemies' work for them.

I'm currently reading Melanie Phillips' Londonistan, and am finding it very disturbing. I had no idea how far the UK had gone in catering to these people. Even farther than the US has gone. It's very scary, and very much worth reading.

[DTA]

Would you connect this face with A.Q. ?

If not, think again. That's what's the enemy within is all about.

I intend to read Melanie's book.

Understand that, in my prior comments, I am not proposing "catering to" the Muslim community. Instead, it is my belief they should be treated like everybody else -- until and unless they prove themselves unwilling to assimilate.

Indeed, I believe this "catering to" that you mention -- this political correctness and diversity-borne favoritism -- is more likely to spawn terrorists than treating people alike.

"Favoritism" and "preferences" are nothing more than a sociological terms for appeasement. And appeasement simply encourages more hostile behavior.

Even though the lies of the leftie elites seem to come out of the starting gate faster than the truth, truth will always end up winning the race in the end. Remember the "Swiftboat" controversy. Sixty thousand dollars worth of these ads had more effect than the millions of dollars of worth of spin and propaganda put out by Mikey the Moron and the DNC. That is because the Swifties told the truth. Thus, a smidget of truth has more value than a pound of lies and spin.

[kellynch]

I agree completely. She makes a point of saying that we shouldn't treat them worse than everyone else, just that we shouldn't treat them BETTER than everyone else. It'll make more sense when you read the book. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

If you are a man, I think I love you. If you are a woman, you are my sister. :o)

Your #68. Who is this guy?

[griswold3]

An Arab translation of "My Struggle" is widely available throughout the middle east.
We need to understand the "long global struggle" we face. I think President Bush is "husbanding our resources" for the long haul. Until those in denial realize they are targets too the struggle will be even longer.

>>>>>Your #68. Who is this guy?<<<<<

AQ moneyman in Washingon, D.C. during civil war in Bosnia.

His Law firm Feith and Zell has estblished a fund, called Bosnia Defense Fund and used as a collection drop for the money from the Saudis and other radical Islamists. A bulk of money was never accounted for and most likely ended in AQ coffers.

In the light of the solid evidence about the role of Bosnia terrorist alumni in 9/11 and Madrid attacks, someone who helped A.Q. financial operations should be under investigation. But he is not. That's what the danger of the enemy within is all about. Right click on the picture and see the name.

"We won't know what trouble is, until the little men replace them." Actually, the contrast of leadership from 'Bush to the feckless degeneracy of the previous eight-year sleaze merchant and his sycophancy who soiled the Oval Office and Oval Office sink IS QUITE stark and bodes an education when the little men who worship the previous degenerate and defended his criminal, degenerate, and immoral behavior return to power over us ... since they defended and gave approval to his degeneracy, we can know they will behave at least as badly, never as morally as President Bush. Their current lie campaign undermining the war is also an educational tool, for adults.'

Good enuf to repeat it.....lol!

Last night I posted another David Warren piece which may interest you here.

The self-evident problem with faithfully posting articles on FR by their original titles is, when those titles are boring and/or unrevealing as to actual content, they understandably don't even draw flies - LOL!

...when those titles are boring and/or unrevealing as to actual content,

The authors think they'll exploit human curiosity.
Often they've simply "buried the lead" as they say in the newspaper bidness.
