DEATH TO TERRORISTS!

Yep death to terrorists, death to jihadists, death to islamofacists. Why don't we just say death to 'bad people'. ~ There seems to be a problem here... and the problem is ours as I see it.

Is it political correctness that fogs our vision and impedes us in our abilty to identify just exactly who the enemy is here?

Our enemy is not "terrorists" or "jihadists". Lets be painfully clear here, our enemy is "Militant Islam". We as a country and as a people have a hard time understanding and comprehending that because it sounds so racist, so bigoted, unpalatable and dangnammit it's just too darn politically incorrect.

We just can't single them out because that might be considered discriminatory. We just can't "hate", because you know hating people because of who they are is just so wrong.

We fough the Japanese and the Germans because of who they were what they believed in. What is different here?

Now if this "Militant Islam" was a country, that would be a different matter all together. We would have no problem at all defeating them. It would be over soon. And so what is the problem here?

But what is a 'country' really? The people of a state or district? A country is a 'populace' which is the 'masses' which in turn is a 'population' which Merriam-Webster is defines as "a body of persons or individuals having a quality or characteristic in common" ahh.. and so... What do our these terrorists, jihadists and islamofacists all have in common? What is the idealogy and beliefs that unite them together against us? We just don't want to say the word now do we?

But we still find ourselves constrained. Why? The reason why is because "militant islam" is not just an idealogy, it happens to be a "religion" as well. And so.. that's that, we just can't fight someone because of their religion, even if that religion calls for our own death and destruction we are completely helpless to defend ourselves.

Just imagine for a moment if Adolph Hitler called Nazism a religion rather that a political party or for that matter, if Communism was a religion. According to Merriam-Webster, a religion is simply "a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith" and yet we still find our hands tied... Why?

Well to complicate matters even more, and maybe give an idea into the reasons we don't acknowledge the war declared on us by "militant islam" and why we can never win is because "militant islam" has an ally and this ally is the so called "moderate islam". The religion that our president describes as a "Religion of Peace". It is the adherants of this "religion of peace" that stand between us and the enemy. Not all of them carry a gun, knife or bomb, the majority of them are basically support. They clothe, feed, arm and supply the troops of "militant islam". Many others don't participate at all, but they do share the same idealogy, they might not cut off your head personally but they will eagerly point you out to someone who will.

It is the Muslim countries and adherants of this "religion of peace" that provide sanctuary and security for our enemy and their supporters. The governments of many of these countries give us "lip service" and smile in front of us saying they are together with us and we are the stupid ones to believe it. They throw us a few bones now and then just to keep us thinking they are on our side but the painful truth that we just can't seem to accept is that they are not. They are not answerable to us. They are answerable to their own people.

There is a big long list of countries where our citizens cannot safely go to. The majority of these countries have one thing is common. Guess what it is. The reason we can't go and travel there safely is because the citizens of those countries are at war with us and yet we can't seem to be able to accept that. We scoffed when Osama Bin Laden decared war on the United States on 26 May 1998. We scoff now thinking that "moderate islam" and "militant islam" can somehow be allied, it is just so unthinkable. And yet Osama Bin Laden and his supporters roam the countryside of Pakistan not only with impunity, but rest assured with safety, security and sanctuary. We are led to believe from our so-called friends that "darnit we just can't find him". Who are the stupid ones here?

This is the next great war and it is better to get on with it and get it over than to simply prolong the angst and misery. It will be bloody, it will be messy and millions will be killed, but we must act now and yet we don't. Why?

What will it take for us to open our eyes?
