A friend sent me the following note. It is, as one might suspect, eye-opening when you think of recent events.
What have we become? Why are we in this situation here in the USA? What does the future hold for us in the coming days, weeks, and months?
Please read the following and then I will finish my comments:
The Israelis Were Baffled by News of Defenseless US Soldiers (At Ft. Hood)
Many Israelis want to know: Why didn’t the soldiers [who were] attacked by a U.S. Army Major-turned-terrorist return fire?
A Muslim in Israel is typically shot to death by someone – say, a reserve soldier – within seconds of screaming “Allah hu Akbar.”
In contrast with the Israeli experience, it took 10 minutes before a civilian police officer at Fort Hood was able to shoot and stop Muslim fanatic Nidal Malik Hasan.
How could that happen? How could so many people trained in the strategies and tactics of modern warfare be so defenseless?
The answer-and this may astonish many Americans-is that the victims were unarmed. U.S. soldiers are not allowed to carry guns for personal protection, even on a 340-acre base quartering more than 50,000 troops. So it goes in brain-dead, liberal America.
Fort Hood is a “gun free zone”, thanks to regulations adopted in one of the very first acts signed into law by anti-gun President Bill Clinton in March 1993. Click here for the file.
Contrary to President Obama’s crocodile tears, his administration is bent on further disarming the U.S. military, and all Americans.
Post Script: Israeli teachers, from kindergarten on up, are also armed; so, a Virginia Tech-type slaughter is highly unlikely at an Israeli university. Israelis, who have had to combat terrorism all their lives, are not afraid of guns.
They are an armed people, ready, willing, and able to defend themselves and their country.
My Commentary:
On Christmas Day, a Nigerian named Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab tried to set off yet another bomb on a US bound airliner just minutes before landing at Detroit similar to the “Shoe Bomber” Richard Reid. Not unheard of, but there is more.
This man, a well educated man, with well-to-do parents by comparison to most Nigerians was the self-appointed member of Al-Qaeda, or was he a full member trained in Yemen?
A former teacher of his while he studied in London said he was called “The Pope” because of his leanings. Michael Rimmer continued: “He was a good-looking guy, bright, from a good family and heading for a job in a top profession.
Somewhere along the line he met fanatics and they turned his mind.” He also said: “He defended their [The Taliban] actions, then excused his radical views saying he was playing devil’s advocate.”
So, once again, we can trace backwards the seeds that sowed the thoughts of a terrorist. Islamic threads abound and it is just plain silly that we cannot say it out loud; the problem IS Islam.
Yes, I said it! Islam is the problem, not because radicals have hi-jacked one of the world’s great religions, but because the common thread is what Islam teaches.
For those who choose not to wage war on the infidel, yet proclaim Islam as the Religion of Peace, are fooling only themselves and those who do not wish to fully understand.
Islam means submission, not peace. In the dictionary, submission (root word: submit) is described as: to give over or yield to the power or authority of another. Can it be any plainer to see, that Islam expects all to yield to its Sha’ria Laws?
Is it not the stated goal of Islam to convert or abolish all other religions, and thereby take over the world? Just some easy research on the true contents and chronological order of the Quran will tell you what Islam is meant to do. Take a look at the Jihad Watch Site of Robert Spencer’s and it will lead you to the truth about Islam.
I will not go into it any further, but if you really want to know, it’s not hard to find out what the truth is behind Islam, Allah, and Muhammed. Its not for the squeamish I warn you!
For argument’s sake, let’s assume you read some of it and did at least a little research. You will find that our ignorance is and will be our undoing. Have you noticed world events of late?
Have you seen the news here in the USA? Well, Islamic terrorism is on the rise, right here in the good old USA, let alone places like India, Iraq, and Europe. What did all the planning since 9-11 do for us? Squat! Mutallab bought a one-way ticket, cash, and checked no luggage.
He what? Yes, over $3,000 for a one-way ticket to the USA and no bags for a lovely winter in Detroit.
Where were the flags popping up? Lagos, Nigeria? The Northwest Airlines ticket counter? Brussels? No where it seems. Hell even his own father purportedly warned the US Government that he was radicalized.
What is it that Janet Napolitano said? Not “part of anything larger”? Oh lord help us. The DHS Secretary cannot even see that there is a larger picture. Even if we label them as “Lone Wolves” they are still part of something larger. Heck, even the guys that trained him said it was just the beginning.
A simple Google search on the subject popped up so many warnings its hard to read them all in one sitting. Ok, enough about this guy Mutallab, how about the unconnected Major Hasan at Ft. Hood?
Not connected was what they said, guess what, he had all kinds of connections. Back to Islam, no matter what incident takes place, we eventually learn that some Mullah taught someone something and it came from Islam.
The definition of stupid is when you do the same thing over and over, failing each time, all the while expecting a different outcome each time. Well guess what, all this PC treatment of Muslims has not taught us anything.
Yep, that bomb still hurts just as bad if he was a lone wolf or a card-carrying member of Al-Qaeda. Even if it was just a cab driver that refused to let someone ride in his taxi because they had a bottle of spirits, it is still Islam.
These folks are hell bent on killing all of us, and guess what else, the minute the critical mass passes that precipice, every “moderate” Muslim will be screaming Allahu Akbar at the corner just to show he is devout, even though he looked like just another infidel or as they call the non-practicing Muslims: Apostates. Guess who would also be killed by that critical mass if they didn’t become instantly devout Muslims?
So what do we do? First we stop making excuses for these barbarians. Start calling them what they are immediately when they commit acts of violence: Terrorists! They are all connected; do not kid yourself.
They are connected by a so-called religion, a cult of control, a way of life in all its totality, from birth to death. Islam means TOTAL submission. It’s the only way to be devout!
Total immersion and acceptance of Muhammed’s so-called prophecies and his being witness to Allah’s angel Gabriel.
Some might say that the bible is just as bad, or that crusaders killed thousands of Arabs and other Muslims. They may refer to the Spanish inquisition, or Catholicism’s inter actions over thousands of years, yet, only Islam still rules by spilling blood.
It wants to take you out Americans, no matter if you are a liberal or a Conservative, Democrat or Republican, atheist or Catholic or Buddhist.
Which brings us to the latest incarnation of our Government. An administration that has apologized for everything, all over the world about how bad we Americans are. It strives to close Guantanamo, it keeps bringing up so-called torture and the Bush Administrations wrong doing.
All in the face of people who consider that type of action as whimpy, a sign of utter weakness. They are convinced that we are no longer the cowboys of the old west, or the saviors of the planet from Nazism and Soviet brutality and expansionism. They think our blood runs, and we will run from blood.
They are sadly mistaken though. Eventually we will come to the moment of truth, individually and collectively: Islam means to see us dead! As Americans have always done though, we will throw off the veils and the binders and unleash what is certain, the dogs of war!
We will have to, or our children and grandchildren will be wearing the Hijab and the burka. Girls will be genitally mutilated, and Sha’ria law will be the rule, as interpreted by the most tyrannical of the radicals.
You bet; if they take over the world, it will be a man that will take over the power that Islam creates. It wont be a holy man, it will be just a man calling himself the 12th Caliph, the Mahdi.
He will be a ruthless ruler like his forbearers who ruled a vast swath of earth once already.
A power hungry mad man, a pedophile who changed the rules as he went along, created Islam. One man created the mechanisms of control and the rest of the world fell for it. He murdered thousands, personally, yet he was a man of vision, of peace.
To follow him is to be truly blind, truly submissive, and truly barbaric. When was the last time you thought it would be fun to behead someone, or blow yourself up and a plane load of people so you could visit your promised virgins? When did you start worshipping the moon and being dead?
What a great goal for a single life, I am born, now I want to be dead, whom shall I take with me? It’s that simple.
So what do we do next? We educate each other. Stop listening to PC sound bites, CAIR propaganda, Taqiya (lies for the good of Allah) spouted by Muslims, and snippets by the unknowing; learn the true history and nature of Islam. Ignorance kills, we have seen this throughout history.
Turning a blind eye emboldens them; appeasement only prolongs the inevitable. Open your ears and listen, they are telling you what they will do! They have infiltrated everything and we see the fruits of our blindness. How else can you explain Ft. Hood?
Next, according to MG Paul Vallely (US Army Ret, IPC Advisory Council), “With the lights gone out on engagement, there must be pressure exerted on the Iranian regime for its appalling human rights record and abuse of innocent people.
The United States must send a strong signal of support to the Iranian people, as this will enhance divisions that are already appearing among the ruling theocratic elite.
“Washington must take note of Tehran’s use of propaganda to attempt to discredit Iran’s main dissident group, the Mujahedeen-e Khalq (MEK). Iranian official media blamed the MEK for hijacking Ashura festivities to incite violence.
Because the Iranian regime pays so much attention to the MEK, the United States must now engage Iran’s main opposition group by removing it from the U.S Foreign Terrorist Organizations list following the lead of the European Union and United Kingdom, which have delisted the MEK.
Such delisting will provide an opportunity for oppositionists to coalesce.” There is plenty we can do, lets get Washington to understand, NOW!
Now what do you think of the lessons the Israelis learned? If a Muslim would-be terrorist knew that chances are, the crowd he wants to shoot up likely hides a few guns, what is he likely to do next, or not do?
If the law abiding were allowed to carry a weapon anywhere, where would the terrorist hide?
If we were less worried about the death toll of civilians who protect the Taliban like we were when broke the back of the German war machine in WWII, or of dethroning the Empire of Japan with nuclear weapons, we would be much better off.
They may not look like a Nazi war Machine or the hordes of Japanese that raped Nan King, but they are every bit as deadly and nefarious. They are more deadly because we cannot see them, or worse, we choose not to see them.
For the world to survive this impending march of Islam it must overthrow theocracies. They are by definition, dictatorial regimes. Think hard, when was the last time you saw someone or some group trying to take over the world? When was the last time you saw a peaceful theocracy.
Seen the riots in Iran erupting again? Guess who rules Iran! Islam! Guess whom trains and arms Hezbollah and Hamas? Islamic Iran! Guess who tries to overthrow every Muslim majority nation that has civilians in charge. Islam!
Guess who were the first combatants the US fought in its earliest days. The Barbary Pirates, Islamic. Think they are going away peacefully soon? Don’t bet your kids lives on it. Islam IS the problem!
