He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but he who walks wisely will be delivered. Proverbs 28:26 To the foolish, every utterance of nonsense seems like wisdom. Joseph P. Martino "The truth, indeed, is something that mankind, for some mysterious reason, instinctively dislikes. Every man who tries to tell it is unpopular, and even when, by the sheer strength of his case, he prevails, he is put down as a scoundrel." ~ H.L. Mencken
The most honored political and religious leaders in the Muslim world boldly and proudly state their agenda to rule the world with Sharia Law. This is no secret conspiracy sneaking up on us from left field. They have TV networks broadcasting hatemessages day and night. Even worse, they are propogating genocide on the Jews which is prescribed in their holy book. They persecute all other faiths within their spheres of influence by harrasment, torture, and murder and still practice slavery in some areas. Once they've provoked their victim nations enough to respond with military might, they utilize private dwellings, population centers, and even schools and mosques to fight from and hide their troops, weapons, and war supplies including explosives and amunition.So why do we get such one sided reports from the press all over the world, if we get anything at all?
Why does the U.N. give such leniency to these would be world rulers and condemn the actions of the most powerful and influential nations acting against them? Could it be that we are so fearful of repeating the atrocities of the crusades during the middle ages that most of us have lost sight of the basic necessities of self preservation? Or could it be that the less influential nations are taking advantage of the circumstances to reduce the influence of the greater nations? No, that still doesn't explain the actions of the international press corps. It must be that we still do not take the threat of third world dominance seriously. Perhaps its a combination of these plus natural fears accompanying armed conflict.
If we do not drop our facade of civility and go after murderous nations, organizations, and individuals to bring about their violent and rapid demise or the cessation of belief in the murderous interpretation of their faith, then we will be ruled by them under the authority of Sharia Law. Even in submission to their laws we would not find peace. Their is more Muslim blood shed by Muslims from year to year, than all anti-Muslim forces combined. I do not want a repeat of the crusades, nor am I suggesting genocide of Muslims, but I believe democracy's hand is being forced by the impending overthrow of rational, accountable governance. The Japanese didn't understand defeat until they knew they could cease to exist as a nation and as a people. When they submitted to this realization we stopped annihalating them. The same will be true of our war on the state supported and populace appoved terror.
The reluctance to name evil (et al. axis of evil Iran, Iraq, North Korea) when it is exposed, the tendancy to blame the truth speakers for the problems the world faces, the willingness of citizens of accountable governments to believe wreckless conspiracy theories enacted by their own leaders rather than recognize the charges made against them as parts of the propaganda warfare is encouraging and giving opportunity to the enemy to gain strength, experience, and technology and to weaken the resolve of the peace seeking members of the international community.
Peace at any cost ultimately will destroy the environment in which peace can exist. Appeasing terrorist bullies will result in greater terrorism, because the terrorist views this appeasement as a victory. Why shouldn't he, after all, he made threats, and he makes good on these threats and gets us to meet some of his demands. Without the threat and without the violence, in his eyes, he would have gotten none of his desires. Since he is operating from a position of religious fervor, these demands are not for self gratification, so economic woes are not a motivating factor.
This is demonstrated in the fact that the parties involved in the World Trade Center destruction were all middle class men of Arab descent and of the extremist Islamic faith. The same criteria apply to nearly all of the jihadis who've inflicted major terrorist attacks on opposing accountable nations. ie.,Spain, United States,Bali,Istanbul,London and Manchester of the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia,The Balkins,Beslan of Russia,Chechnia,Phillipines,Iraq,Iran,Thailand,Syria,Lebanon,France,Turkey,All over Africa from Jibuti to South Africa-Egypt-Kenya-Morocco-Sudan where genocide is happenig right now by the Islamic government-Algeria where over 150,000 Muslims have died at the hands of Muslimsand there is always, Israel.
We see these as individual wars, but in the Jihadi's eyes these are meerly different fronts of the same war to force Islam into every corner of the world as a ruling government and the only religion to be practiced.
Pallywood Liar, liar, pants on fire. Media makes it a big quagmire. Liberals make news on the wire. March all the time in our empire, Handing out anti flyers. Tolerance pushed by intolerant ire, Puts us all in straits o' dire.
Liar, liar, pants on fire. Jihadis say to death aspire. Evening news is a big satire. Exploding vests are kids attire, Who leftists say WE inspire, While their old sheiks conspire, To rule the world ENTIRE.
Liar, liar, pants on fire. Using you to cover their priors, Rogue states are their suppliers, helping jihadis to acquire, Deadly tools their lusts desire. They could win but not by mire. They could win if we fight shyer.
Liar, liar, pants on fire U.N. resolutions expire, Never holding them to what's required, Never accountable for what's transpired. On defensive actions they inquire, Demanding Israeli defense retire, Condemning only the triers.
Liar, liar, pants on fire. Culture of peace and learning higher, Who reveal our secret spyer. Enemy in our schools, HIRED, Hate spewing truth denyer. I am not one of those gullable buyers, 'Cause they're big fat liars
Why won't this ever end? Why does world opinion still stand against Israel when the entire Western world is being attacked by the enemies of Israel? Why does the mainstream media report these events and historical facts with such a moral equivalence bias against the largely righteous nation of Israel?
The liberals identify themselves as Citizens Of the World (I'll call them COW's) and call on the U.N. to police the aggression of nation against nation and human rights violations. In their minds this would take the responsibility of self care out of their hands and release them from the need to worry about their preservation. They refuse to accept the intolerable record of the U.N. of intervention in international conflicts and human rights.
While I personally stand against many of these rights, I do not comdemn to death anyone who practices them. The COW's flatly refuse to accept that the Islamic desire is to rid the world of its freedoms to practice promiscuity, homosexuality, abortion, free speech, exhibitionism, religion, restricting education for women, even travel and business. They would command us if, whom, when, how, and where to worship. They would command us how to dress, speak, act, and even think. I quote an apostate Muslim named Ibn Warraq: 'I don't believe in God' is an impossible public utterance, even among family and friends. They want to decide who lives or dies. They have openly and proudly expressed their intention to commit genocide against the Jews. This is Hitlerian with less organization. Its worse than Nazism because of their internal deadly conflicts between sects. In fact more Muslims' blood has been spilled by Muslims than in all the wars between Muslims and all other races, religions, and nationalities combined.
Why does the mainstream media report these events and historical facts with such a moral equivalence bias against the largely righteous nation of Israel? The bias against Israel has produced the moral equivelance argument among the liberals of the world. A cartoon depicting one Israeli soldier and one Muslim fighter kneeling and pointing their guns at one another included two baby carriages. The Muslim was behind his baby carriage while the Israeli was in front of his baby carriage. This accurately depicts the differing moral standards of the combatants involved in this conflict. In the news today we hear of Hesbollah using U.N. outposts and civilian sanctuaries as cover to fire their rockets into Israel. There is speculation from credible war analysts that Hesbollah destroyed the building in Qana resulting in the 57 deaths. These are the same tactics employed in Iraq against coilition forces.
It is internationally accepted as a war crime to fire on a nation without a specific target yet nobody in the press is condemning Hesbollah for this daily practice perpetrated on Israel. Meanwhile Israel is being condemned by the Secretary General of the U.N. Kofi Anan and the press for air strikes resulting in unintentional civilian and U.N. deaths. By the way, what are the U.N. doing there? They've been there for two years and haven't acted to prevent terrorist attacks on Israel, and now that Israel has retaliated with the full force of their military, the U.N. think they can sit there like a referee on a soccer field? Even referees get clobbered in the heat of the game play, and war is no game. Again, Hesbollah fighters were firing rockets into Israel from the lookout of the U.N. observers when they were bombed.
If you look closely at the pictures above, take note of a few details. 1. Hesbollah fighters more often than not, do not wear uniforms. All they have to do is throw down their AK-47 or RPG and 'voila' they're a citizen. 2. That is an anit-aircraft gun mounted on the bed of a truck. Other weapons like their Katyusha rocket launchers can be mounted in the same way. They can pull that truck up next to a home, a civilian shelter, a U.N. outpost, or as in this photo where they are positioned near an apartment building. Fire at will, then just pull away before return fire comes at them. The whole reason for doing this is not to hide their position but rather to increase the chances of Israel killing Lebanese civilians so the dead can be paraded around in front of television cameras. and these recordings are played all over the media in our own countries. The more gruesome, the more play these tapes get on American, English, and Israeli TV.
To hear it from a reformed follower of Islam click here. The serious problem of terrorism is not with terrorists. Evil has been present in the world from the beginning. The main problem is with the vast numbers of people there and here that do not want to fight evil. All it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.
The people who do not want to fight evil will believe any excuse, any theory of conspiracy on the part of our side. Not only what they can dream up but even charges made by the enemy in order to avoid participating in the fight. I have had every extreme conspiracy theory and slander of our government and our troops thrown at me in debate. I have heard the most ourtrageous charges of moral equivalency between the Israeli government and the unfettered terrorists by normally nice, rational people. When I give them the comparison of the wisdom of the world leading up to WWll, how the COW's condemned the Anti-Nazi crowd, how the popular opinion stood in support of Germany's invasions of neighboring countries until the realization that Hitler intended to rule the entire world. America was no exception in that case. We are, in the case of the war on terror, because we have been one of the two dominant targets of terror. Until 9/11/01 we were asleep on this enemy's threat too. Almost half of the U.S. 42% shut their eyes tight and threw the covers over their heads and pretended to be asleep until the saber rattling of our righteous president forced them to deal with the issue. Rather than recognize the genuine threat against U.S. freedom and rights, they have attacked the truth speaker. Its time once again to commit to doing the hard work necessary to overcome evil.
This time the evil is taking the form of guerilla fighters rather than nationalist armies. This time the evil has the same goals as last time. To rule the world and kill all the Jews. Last time they used the Secret Police, this time they're using Islamic Sharia law to control and abuse their populace. Last time evil used technology and might to attempt to rule the world, this time evil is using religious ferver and sacrificial fighters. This is similar to one of the armies of the WWll conflict. The Japanese used Kamikazee fighters and religious ferver in the form of Emporer worship. This turned out to be the most cost effective manner of aggression against the U.S. forces.
In the world's efforts to control the violence in the Middle East we have forced Israel to train up the guerilla war effort. They attack and Israel retaliates but are reigned in before the work of eliminating the threat is done. So the threat regroups, takes lessons from their successes and failures, then re-engage Israel who is again reigned in. Now we have three fully trained organizations (Hezbollah, Hamas, al Qu'eida) backed by at least two nation's governments (Iran, Syria.) They are beginning to be a genuinely international force to be reckoned with.
When this conflict is over, you can bet that president Bush will be remembered as one of the great presidents along with George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy. Men who made difficult decisions in extraordinary circumstances and called Americans into unity against great odds and against tremendous detraction from his own constituency. Since we cannot depend on the U.N. to do the very thing for which it was formed, and since the COW's intend to force the rest of us under the authority of it's toothless resolutions, and since the COW's are increasing in number, I will contnue to preach right thinking until the COW's come home.
