DENIAL
There is a force in the world that is dedicated and committed to destroying civilization as we know it. The civilized world and America in particular refuses to name or acknowledge this force. But it is high time that Americans recognize this threat and call it what it is.
We sometimes refer to this threat as Islamic Fundamentalism. Or perhaps Radical Islam. Terrorists are referred to as “freedom fighters” or “insurgents”. This is a denial of reality.
You cannot fight an enemy that you refuse to recognize as an enemy. You cannot fight an enemy if you refuse to acknowledge the enemies goals. You cannot fight an enemy that you refuse to name. You cannot fight an enemy that you don't want to offend. And you can't fight an enemy if you care what they think about you.
When you have an enemy who's stated aim is to destroy your country, your way of life, your people and your religion you have no choice but to fight them to the bitter end. An enemy who is offended by your very existence presents an existential threat that cannot be ignored.
America and the civilized world has such an enemy. It is called Islam. Make no mistake it is Islam itself, not fundamentalism or radicalism that is the enemy. Islam is a Barbaric, dysfunctional, toxic and pathological totalitarian idea masquerading as a religion.
Islam is not a religion of peace as is often stated. Actually it is a religion of war and conquest. It is the peace of the grave for non-Muslims. This is explicitly stated in the Koran in numerous places. It is explicitly stated by “clerics” who preach in mosques around the world, and even in America.
The founder of Islam attempted to conquer the whole world in the seventh century. After his death his followers continued the program of conquest and forced conversion for hundreds of years. An Islamic Caliphate ruled the middle east until it was defeated and disbanded in the first world war. Anyone wanting to see what Islam intends for the Christian nations need only read the history of the Ottoman Empire.
It is often said that there are millions of “moderate” Muslims who do not support the “radicals”. One may suppose that there were many nominal Muslims in Afghanistan who opposed or at least did not agree with the Taliban. What happened to them? They either converted or died or kept their mouths shut. We have the recent example of the Taliban for those who are too lazy to read history. The actions of the Taliban were typical of all conquering Muslims throughout history.
Now we have the “Islamic State” whose stated goal is to conquer and forcibly convert or murder everyone that comes into their power. Yet our government who's very purpose is to protect us from foreign threats refuses to even acknowledge the threat until forced to do so after the publication of videos showing Americans being murdered by these barbarians. A government that refuses to name the threat for fear of offending our enemies and inciting them to more violence. A government that refuses to take even the simplest measures to protect the country. A government that refuses to protect our border lest we offend the millions of illegal “immigrants”. A government that refuses to investigate Islamic hate groups for fear of offending Muslims. A government that lets American citizens travel to war zones to train and fight with our enemies, and then lets them back into the country to serve their Islamic masters in acts against Americans.
America is in danger of becoming a footnote to history. Our downfall will be seen as the result of willful blindness, political correctness, ignorance and narcissism. I am only glad that I will not be around to see us reap the fruit of our blindness.
What could be done if our government and leader had the will to do it? Many things. The problem is solvable, but only if our leaders are willing to do them and the people are willing to support the necessary measures.
First; secure the border. As it is we have no idea who is crossing our border and what they intend. We also have no way to track them after they get here. Next we must locate and identify those who have already entered the country illegally. We must separate the sheep from the goats, and deport anyone suspected of enemy associations.
Persons from Muslim countries must not be allowed to enter the United States without being vetted. Any person with radical Islamic associations must not be allowed into the country.
We should encourage any American who wishs to travel abroad to join the enemy to do so. Then when they try to return, we should prosecute them for treason. Treason is defined as giving aid and comfort tto the enemy. We have a law against that.
Islamic “clerics” who preach jihad or hatred for America must be suppressed. Persons attending mosques which allow such practices must me identified and watched. We should use the existing sedition laws to prosecute anyone who advocates the overthrow or destruction of our government. This includes, especially, internet sites that advocate jihad and attempt to “radicalize” or recruit Americans to the enemy cause.
And most importantly the government must acknowledge the threat. We must call it what it is: Islam. The American people must be made to realize that we are engaged in a war with practitioners of an ideology that is diametrically opposed to everything America stands for. That these people intend to destroy us if they can. That these people hate us because their god tells them to. That they hate us because they hate freedom. They hate us because we are powerful while they are weak. They hate us because we are rich while they are poor. That they hate us simply for existing.
Civilization is at war with Islam whither we acknowledge it or not. They are coming to kill us whither we believe it or not. They hate us even though we don't want to offend them. Islam is a totalitarian system. We engaged in a decades long war with another totalitarian system, the Soviet Union. In those days most of us recognized the enemy. Then as now, some of us, for various reasons, supported the enemy's ideology. Islam is as much a danger to us as communism ever was. At least the Soviets only wanted to steal your property. Islam wants to steal your life
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS WILL BE THE DEATH OF THIS COUNTRY!
