2 Chronicles 25:14 Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them. 15 Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand? 16 And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel ? forbear ; why shouldest thou be smitten ? Then the prophet forbare , and said , I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel. 17 Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice , and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying , Come , let us see one another in the face. 18 And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying , The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying , Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle. 19 Thou sayest , Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast : abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall , even thou, and Judah with thee? 20 But Amaziah would not hear ; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom.
Obama is right, we should not use a hammer. We should use anything we need to destroy the vermin.
Unintended reference?
Or veiled message to Jihadists who may remember that it was Martel-The Hammer-that threw the Caliphate out of Europe.
We know whose side he has sympathy for.
Says the Nobel Prize Drone King.
Well, frankly, I’m not too worried Europe will use any of those things. More “dialog” — that, I expect.
Correct!
JDAM’s work better.
If the next US president is a conservative, his first order of business should be to close the door to the vast majority of Islamic immigration.
Next is to create a CIA program designed to locate and exterminate all radical agitators in the western world, other than the US. In the US, a different agency would do the same thing, if sometimes less lethally.
This should be entirely covert, not involving the governments of those western nations. And hopefully, for the actions to both have “plausible deniability”, and to “make it look like an accident”.
Hopefully, by the time he leaves office, the program would be entirely divorced from the government and self sustaining. The concept being to perpetually cull the most radical leaders from Islam. Something like natural selection to make them a far less violent philosophy.
The program could work for radical communists as well.
These guys want to kill you and they don't seem to mind dying to do it. Nothing will placate them. What do you have left except capitulation or a hammer?
Charles “The Hammer” Martel made it work.
Tarantino 25:17
"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!".
I agree. Fire bombing Jihadist centers would be more effective.
Has Obama EVER voiced the importance of Muslim societies accepting religious pluralism, practicing tolerance, and ceasing their persecutions of Christians and others? Or called on Saudi Arabia to permit churches and open Christian worship?
That's quite true. It also requires a steady hand, good aim, and the right ammunition.
Obama would rather that the Euro’s respond with their naked throats.
He also said he doesn’t believe that terrorism (of the Islamic variety) is an existential threat
Clearly, our leadership does not want to do their job. I find it beyond offensive that anyone suggest that you do not hammer terrorists...and because they are muslim...But hey, a Christian getting slaughtered for their faith in those countries is okfine!
Europe again needs Charles, the Hammer, Martel to stoip the latest Muslim invasion.
I agree completely.
Flame throwers would be much more efficient.
