Friday’s bloodthirsty attack on a mosque in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula during noontime prayers was a crime against all humanity. It wasn’t “just” an attack on Muslims. It was an attack on all of us who believe in civilization, tolerance and decency. At least 235 peaceful worshippers died, with more than 100 wounded.
One is tempted to call it the work of beasts, but no creature in the animal kingdom behaves with such avid, calculated cruelty.
Yet, the attack can be explained — though the explanation only makes it worse.
Islamist fanatics struck with bombs and automatic weapons, slaughtering first the faithful, then first responders. The reversed ratio of dead to wounded (usually more are wounded than killed) tells us how potent the explosions were and how carefully the attack had been planned and executed.
And it was no coincidence that the al-Rawdah Mosque was frequented by Sufis, the mystical, tolerant strain of Islam that finds joy, rather than a slavemaster, in its deity. Sufism has been the spiritual home of poets, such as Rumi or Hafez Shirazi. Sufi orders embraced music and even dance as expressions of faith. Sufis venerate saints, and some of their beloved figures quite liked wine. Sufi orders differ, as do Christian denominations, but none threatens the world with terror these days.
The greatest sheiks of Sufism had more in common with Catholic mystics, such as St. John of the Cross, or Protestants like Emanuel Swedenborg, than with the punitive, barracks-discipline Wahhabism funded by Saudi Arabia and enforced by terrorists. If you crossed a Quaker with an Episcopalian, with a soundtrack of Catholic plainchant, you’d get something like a Sufi.
In Judaism, the closest equivalent would be the Hasidim and the transcendent warmth they discover in God.

Totally disagree with Peters. Western civilization is voluntarily committing suicide. The Islamists are simply one of the tool it’s using.
Islamists would be a mere nuisance if the west simply had the will to live and flourish.
That will to survive is being destroyed by the leftist ideas that have infected the west like a malignant tumor, postmodernism being at the head of the list.
Civilization and Islam, just like oil and water.
Islam is anti civilization. The type doesn’t really matter.
Muslims killing muslimsn. Not our problem
Enemies foreign, enemies domestic. It’s enough to make one ralph.
Sure didn’t see words like this after our church shooting.
The contrast is blaring.
glaring
” targets civilization itself”
No, it doesn’t. Global Jihad, perpetrated by m*slims, does.

Yes, the West is especially vulnerable today, but don’t underestimate Islam as a potent conquest strategy. It has taken down nations that were stronger, richer and smarter for 1,400 years, with only two reversals: Spain and Israel.
Agree. Ralph Peters has put his anti-Christianity on display in all caps.
He is an Enemedia minion: Anti-Christian, anti-Constitution, anti-capitalist, anti-American. Another proggie social Marxist savoring the breakup of Western culture, idiotically believing he’ll fare better afterward. Liberalism IS a mental disorder.
The attack was Muslim Brotherhood retribution on a very soft target.
The members are surely known and must be rounded up and executed

Call Islamonazis “demons” or “devils”. Let their ilk know that they are doing the Devil’s work and will be spending eternity damned in Hell.
Eating pork pales in comparison to staging deadly attacks on innocent men, women, and children to promote a DEMONIC DEATH CULT.
But libtards tell us that muslims don’t need to denounce Islamonazis attacks because they don’t support Islamonazism or follow the same religion. Radio newsbreak just had muslims in America denouncing the attacks (townhall.com).
Denounce the attacks, denounce the imam, denounce the followers. Tell them they are demonic.
With us or against us. This battle has waged over a thousand years. Time to end it.
Congrats on knowing that bit of history.

I’m thinking Ralphie-boy might be a closet Muslim.
He wasn’t this ginned up over the Texas church massacre.
Yeah, but attacking churches, well, that’s okay. /s
/eyeroll
Islam is a terrorist cancer that preys even on itself.
To say it was one group of barbarians against another is being charitable.
I’m betting that the writer has never called attacks on Christians by Islam an attack on civilization.
