Why We’re Losing to Radical Islam
The Wall Street Journal ^ | Jan. 14, 2015 | NEWT GINGRICH

Posted on 01/15/2015 8:09:52 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

The United States has been at war with radical Islamist terrorism for at least 35 years, starting with the November 1979 Iranian seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and taking of 52 American hostages. President Jimmy Carter , in his State of the Union address two months later, declared the American captives “innocent victims of terrorism.”

For the next two decades, radical Islamist terrorism grew more powerful and more sophisticated. On Sept. 11, 2001, a remarkably sophisticated effort by Islamist terrorists killed nearly 3,000 Americans in New York City, Washington, D.C., and western Pennsylvania.

Duke has already nixed the muslim prayer idea. Franklin Graham took them to the woodshed over it on his FaceBook page and big contributers threatened to withold donations. $$$$$ talks.

be certain they will try again. Muslim Brotherhood is behind this.

I don't know. I'm getting the impression the Muslims are on a very short leash in the civilized world at the moment.

They are still at war with us. We are still not at war with them. We have no will to dominate. They do. They have nothing to live for, everything to die for.

...”I’m getting the impression the Muslims are on a very short leash in the civilized world at the moment”...

No, some are simply understanding the threat...Islam never stopped it’s march and does not now or will it in the future....it can only be contained which unfortunately it isn’t any longer, as long as we have Mosques, Community Centers, Revenue raising groups and the Muslim Brotherhood operating in our country and our government we will NOT escape nor stand the tide of the Islamification of this country.

They know they can create chaos, and do,...but their march continues, their immigrating to countries and building their population is working and countries are assisting them in doing so. Under disguise of their real intentions.

It is a culture of death regardless of those in our country saying otherwise. All you have to do is look at the Islamic countries to see what their intentions are for ours and other nations. They kill and mame one another under their Shariah Law....they will do so as well here...just a matter of time...and they have not ceased to continue their march for centuries, they won’t now.

Islam has been a scourge on mankind since its inception.

Losing because we are cowards. Should go and show force and kick ass. Or threaten to use the Nuclear Bomb and scare some people into submission.

We know all that. We also know the Western World can squash them like so many gnats in an afternoon if it is disposed to do so. We have been doing Gnat Tolerance since 2001. But this tolerance certainly does not last forever, especially given the amount of acting-out that's been going on lately.

These idiots really don't want to see the Western World when it gets really mad.

Well, the same might have been said of the Mexicans coming in and now look where we’re at...once the population of any minority escalates there isn’t much you can do about it. Muslims are already within our political system and that’s a foothold that does not loosen easily if at all.

The West needs to ditch Charlie Hebdo and find a new Charles Martell.

Yep. They are definitely playing the long game while our pols play hopscotch... or maybe just playing with their scotch.

Either way; we lose long term.

We will continue to lose because we are naive about islam. Our eyes are not yet open as to who they are and what they want to do. We’ve lived in relative peace for so long that we can’t conceive of a lunatic bunch who will kill to take us over.

Sadly, we will find out after it’s too late.

It is just about birthrate - it is as simple as that. The West imports them because we don’t have enough children.

The parts of the world where people are putting up a fight (Philippines, Nigeria, etc.) are places where non-Muslims still breed.
