Not Going Away 03/13/06

I am constantly seeing Islamic apologists on television telling me that the crazy contingency of baby killers and people who blow themselves up and riot because of something as inconsequential as a cartoon do not represent mainstream Muslims.

It’s getting a little old hearing about how Islam is a peaceful religion when people claim to be doing Allah’s work by hacking some innocent person’s head off or setting fire to cars in France or blowing a hole in the side of one of our ships or bombing our embassies or murdering 50 people in a London subway or kidnapping Israeli athletes at the Summer Olympics or killing school children in India or bombing cafes and hotels in Egypt or firing rocket propelled grenades into Israeli school children or burning people and hanging them from a bridge or flying commercial airliners into the Trade Towers and the Pentagon.

For some reason these people just don’t seem very peaceful to me and if they don’t represent the mainstream Muslim community why aren’t our airwaves and newspapers inundated with white-hot denunciations by the rest of the Muslim world?

Are Muslims who are born here not Americans? Shouldn’t they be just as concerned with what is happening in the world as
Christians and Jews? Don’t they realize that terrorist bombs
are not discriminatory and will kill their children just as dead as they kill others? Should they not stand in defense of America?

Sooner or later the world will have to face the fact that we are engaged in no less than World War Three. A global conflict being fought around the world and guess who is involved in somewhere close to 100 shooting wars worldwide? That’s right, those peace loving Muslims.

Some people in other parts of the world make the mistake of believing that it’s only the Americans and Israelis these people hate. The fact of the matter is, they hate everybody who is not a Muslim and their ultimate goal is to make earth an Islamic planet.

And if you don’t believe that go and try to be a Christian or a Jew in an Islamic nation. There is not Freedom of Religion, though some of them may claim tolerance, in reality there is only persecution for non Muslims, in fact in many countries you are breaking the law by having a copy of the Holy Bible on your person.

And how many of the Hollywood people have you heard blasting America and taking up for the crazies? What’s funny is that if the Muslims were to take over the world Hollywood would either radically change or cease to exist. And if you don’t believe that try showing “Brokeback Mountain” in Teheran.

I would very much like to believe that the American Muslim community was with us in this struggle, but until they come forward in sufficient numbers and sincerity it’s hard to do.

Pray for our troops.

What do you think?

God Bless America
