Makes sense to me. If attacked, we must never retaliate, never use force, never even challenge the enemy, less our actions lead to radicalizing of the [perpetual] peaceful Muslims and "compel" them through our inconsiderate actions into becoming Islamofacist, terroristic, murdering, supremacist.
Better that we as a predominantly Christian Nation, adhere to the imperative that when we are attacked, turn the other cheek--to give the Moozies a better angle in which to smite our necks.
As an aside, rumors that Waleed Aly is a Christian, White, European, Male, Islamaphobe; is bias and therefore, cannot be trusted in his evaluating or reporting on all things Muslim, has been discredited.
Aly, in fact, is a Melbourne lawyer, a member of the Islamic Council of Victoria Executive in Good Standing, and is also a lecturer in the Global Terrorism Research Centre at Monash Univeristy. Therefore, based on the aforementioned, we can rest assured that Aly would NEVER mislead anyone regarding the Religion of Peace and his observations and scholarly admonitions must necessarily be accepted as verity.
My suggestion is that we should all walk up the nearest mountain top, hold hands, and repeat the peaceful overture as depicted in the Coca Cola 1974 Commercial: "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing In Perfect Harmony."
Aint It Grand
Lets all hold hands now and sing Cumbaya and we call live peacefully ever after.
While many we here in the U.S., are lulled into thinking that this Islamofacism is not real or a threat, based on the continual propaganda and De Nile by Muslims, here and abroad, not too mention, most within our own Guvmint asceding to their every whim and demand as well as continually trying to brainswashing us into believing we are at war with ONLY "Radical Islam," we must not buy into this falacy.
We MUST fight this EVIL with every fiber of our being. It is much more dangerous than Socialism, Communism, Facism or Nazism ever was.
Also, many perceive [wrongly] that these Islamic attacks are primarily aimed at the eradication of all Jews, and not so much a concern to our survival. Were it so, it would nevertheless be in our best interest to cut of the head of this poisonous snake before it turned an attacked us as well.
Much as one of our great Statesmen (Ben Franklin) remarked when we were fighting for our independence: " We Shall All Hang Together Or Surely We Shall All Hang"
Whether one is a Republican-Democrat, Conservative- Liberal, White-Black, Young-Old, Male-Female, Straight-Gay, Whatever, we should remeber these prophetic words:
Good find on the stupidity of the “sensitive” left.
Good find.
If you really are in Vermont, you are WAY behind enemy lines brother!
Carry on!
Well, we know 8 years of bending over and taking it (as Clinton did during his terms) didn’t work either.
Half the problem is that people believe that Christ commands us to turn the other cheek when attacked. Not so: a slap on the cheek was a deadly insult in (much of) the ancient world, but it's not a dangerous assault. Christians are encouraged to defend themselves.
****A study from the Global Terrorism Research Centre at Monash University suggests that Australia’s approach to stopping terrorism might actually be encouraging it. ****
Nothing new. I have an editorial from a newspaper from about twenty years ago which says virtually the same thing...we must not lower our standards to the terrorist’s level by fighting back.
Hogwash.
The left is stupid too. The death cultists are taught from birth to hate Christians and Jews, that life is worthless, that the only sure way to get to paradise is to kill Christians and Jews, then they are abused physically, sexually, morally, emotionally and mentally so that they grow up angry and full of self-loathing.
Agressive policing doesn’t cause terrorism. It reduces it by a small amount.
This article is a blatant example of the Fifth Column at work.
Wrong Aly. They chose to be alienated by refusing to adapt to Aussie culture and laws. Now by turning to radical groups they will be targeted more aggressively. Slow learners these Muslims.
I believe in the turn the other cheek policy....theirs....and putting a bullet in it too.
Well, there is something to be said for the idea that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, but I look at it this way. They started it.
