TERRORISM AND JULY FOURTH


TIME FOR AMERICAN MUSLIMS TO SPEAK OUT



By: Stan Kon


In these perilous times, we now have to deal with the threat of terrorists destroying our lifestyle which we have become so accustomed to. We can no longer take it for granted that our pursuits which allow us the freedom to go to ball games, political rallies, concerts and other places of mass gatherings will be safe anymore. There is now a serious threat to our physical well-being because some deranged souls have decided that it is time for us to die because we are Americans who have been and are strong supporters of the Jewish nation. This powerful hatred shared by so many manifested once before some 60 years ago.


We are on the threshold of experiencing what life is like under terrorism as the Jewish People have known for many years. Now the world is held prisoner to this warped form of thought by zealous factions of the Islamic People of the world. Since there is no spoken opposition from World Islam in regard to this barbaric behavior which they stand for, we must see them as terrorists, making ALL of them our enemies.


We can take a lesson from Islam and do what they do to eliminate what they perceive as a scourge to their societies. For example, they have no drug problems as we do because their people know that if they get caught taking drugs, they will forfeit their life. Pretty strong incentive to not trade in or participate in this destructive behavior, right? There is no tolerance with drug use in their nations and we should allow them no tolerance in their destruction of human life anywhere. The world can't just clean up after every attack and point fingers at them and say they shouldn't do this any more. It is TIME TO ACT.


If it is their intent to poison our drinking water, then let us inform ALL of the Islamic Family of nations that we will poison their water as well. If it is their intent to use chemical or biological weapons upon the non-Islamic nations of the world, then we will let them know that WE will respond to EACH and every one of their nations in like manner. If they use a crude nuclear devise on us, then should know that we will send EACH of them nuclear-tipped missiles with their name on it in like manner. They will understand what this strong message is all about and it would surely get their attention mighty fast.


The time for easy-going diplomacy has long ago passed as a form of our passive response to terrorism. It is now time to send them a lucid and powerful message of what to expect from us. They WILL understand and hopefully, draw their agents back to them from the myriad of places in the world where they have been sent. If they know that we would actually attack them and their loved ones, perhaps there could be peace once again in this fragmented world and the abomination of terrorism would be lifted. We must let them know that we will not tolerate this type of behavior upon us and, if they persist, it is going to cost them dearly. We know where Mecca is and it can be reached very easily at any time of the year with nuclear missals. What a prime target if we should ever decide to retaliate and trade innocent lives for innocent lives.


There is much speculation that on July 4th of this year, terrorists will act in a coordinated manner against us. Behavior such as this will create much havoc and massive destruction for us bringing our economy to a standstill. Financial markets would be impacted much more than they were on 9/11 by such a broad attack across our land. Our markets and all world markets could react in a wild, speculative way wiping out many people's fortunes in a flash. This would create a terrible panic causing many in America to react in ways which will divide us even more.


The American Muslim population and all middle-eastern looking people in our nation could very well become the target of zealots among us who become enraged by these abhorrent raids. This backlash against these innocent people would be much stronger than feelings against the Japanese-Americans were in W.W.II. The suspicion generated against these Americans would make their lives miserable and their concern for each others safety might cause them to shift their allegiance in an instant. Many more innocent American lives may be destroyed by such a backlash creating a new enemy within us who could very well join the ranks of those sent to destroy us creating a huge, new adversary.


So, what can be done about this impending gloom? It is time for the American Muslim Leaders to help their country. Right now would seem to be the time for a strong anti-terrorist stand taken by the leaders of the American Muslim Faith. Our media could make a real big deal of this by sending out this strong, anti-terror message for all the other Muslims of the world to hear and take notice of. Our fellow American Muslims must do this right now to show their support of America for the rest of the Muslim World to see. If they do nothing in an attempt to stop this potential disaster, their future as Americans is dismal indeed. We urge them to take this necessary step now as July 4th approaches closer with each passing hour

I can't help thinking that terrorists will target July 4 with some 9-11-type attack if they are able. If I were a terrorist, I would certainly want to make it so that from now on, every time an American thought of the Fourth of July, they would think of tragedy and death, instead of liberty and joy.

Hope I'm wrong. Please God.

I'd hold my breath, but I don't want to die.

You're right to bring God into it, so far I think that our government has been successful to thwart other attempts in our country. My prayer will be that with all of our agencies, forces, etc. on high alert during the 4th, we'll be able to continue to celebrate our freedom with joy.

I agree. I think interning and or deporting all Muslims may be the answer.

I don't like to think of it, but I agree Independence Day will become a target one way or another. The agencies should be very well aware of the threat and hopefully they'll be thwarted, but I see it being a day for those demons to try something else.

"It is time for the American Muslim Leaders to help their country." That is what is wrong... they are helping their country, not the United States of America. That is why most of the Muslim (terrorist) Churches have had their assests frozen! Revoke visas and Citizen ship for any Anti-Americanism! I would think that would have been started already! And someone please tell me, whatever happened to "Persona Non-grata?"

I think deporting them AND THEN blowing up that part of the world is what needs to be done.

Anything less and we are just asking for it....

True, but I hope they (the Muslim community here in the U.S.) understand what may happen if there is another 9-11 or worst.

I don't believe in vigilante justice, but many of my countrymen might. And remember, a conservative estimate is that there are roughly 90 million Americans who own guns.
