A quick answer is, yes. Why? Because our elected officials are afraid to name our enemy and political correctness has become our norm, even under the Presidency of Donald Trump! Unfortunately, it is going to take more 9/11 terrorist attacks to make many of our fellow Americans realize the truth about Islamic ideology, the mindset and dedication of our enemies.
Let me be honest with you, America is following the same path as our European allies across the ocean who not only are looking in another direction, but the first opportunity they get, they flee their own countries to a safer place.
Remember this:
“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Qur’an should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth” — Omar Ahmed, Chairman of the Board of CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations.
Americans are always accustomed to thinking in bipolar/dualistic paradigms, and at one time thought that Shiites were the violent and “extreme” ones, and that Sunnis were liberal and pacifists. Well, I hope that at least Iraq has exposed this lie. It is important to educate people that all Islamic sects agree on the fundamental principles of evil. It is time to take a stand and shift the debate to orthodox Islam. But for those commentators and media who would not hesitate to ask “great, so now what…to you Islam is evil. How do we combat that?”
Your response is already clear: Through the spread of truth, not deceit. Through voluntary social sanctions and laws in every civilized country that forbid evil practices like Sharia, coercion and violence against women, threats against those who disagree, honor killings and other hate crimes. Let the world know the truth and decide for itself. Truth should never be sacrificed at the altar of any goal.
Fellow Americans, Islam’s founder waged dozens of bloody wars of aggression and spouted ugly and damning diatribes against unbelievers — Christians and Jews in particular. Today, the most devout and knowledgeable Muslims are all Jihadists. And other than communist nations, the least free and most impoverished societies, and the places in which there is the greatest difference between rich and poor, are all Muslim nations. The only major religion that still sanctions slavery, the beating of women by men, and forced female circumcision, is Islam.
While so-called peaceful Muslims are generally silent, either out of fear, lack of organization, or apathy, Islamists work around the clock and around the world to further their agenda. Hardly a week passes without a Grand Mufti or an Ayatollah who issues pronouncements in support of extremist Islam. The rank-and-file Islamist clergy, for their part, transmit these fatwas and edicts to their flock in mosques and hammer them into the minds of impressionable children in madrassahs. Through this grassroots process, Islam is recruiting greater and greater numbers of adherents. On the one hand, Islamists engage in acts of violence to disrupt the functioning of societies, while on the other they cleverly exploit the freedom they enjoy in non-Islamic lands to subvert them from within.
Friends, I tried to be Paul Revere for the past twenty-five years. I am tired of being an alarmist. It did not work. But, I still find it my personal duty to tell you that America is faced with a formidable enemy. This enemy has a name: Islam.
I think it is time to revisit the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and see if Islam qualifies as a religion. Is this an outlandishly absurd proposal? Not at all, serious problems require equally serious solutions. The call for evaluation of the First Amendment may be seen as an attempt to curb Islam or other militant cults. The truth is: it is. It is truly a matter of survival of the United States and the free world. It is time to take a stand and shift the debate to orthodox Islam.
The notion that Islam is peaceful, but that only “radicals” are usurping and distorting the “peace-of-Islam” should be called: Islam-revisionism and advocates called Islam-Revisionists. The notion that Islam is inherently violent, coercive, harsh, jihad-oriented…and that it advocates slavery, intolerance, and inequality…and that such traditional and realistic interpretations cannot be reformed should be called Islam-realism and such advocates called Islam-realists.
Once the side of realists has a name and can distinguish itself from wishful revisionists, the public can begin to see that there are many voices which (without advocating a specific competing religion) that can denounce Islam per se, and can speak to the real reasons. Islam continues its onslaught, and can counter any senseless position, such as reforming them and bringing democracy and tolerance to their lands (Dems and RINOs position).
It is long past time for American lawmakers to step in and make a difference. It is now time for the citizens of this country to stand up and follow the United States Constitution to save this nation of all nations. Our elected officials have demonstrated time and again that they will not face reality and challenge this obvious enemy.
The destiny of the Western civilized and culture life which is based in Judeo-Christian values and principles hangs in the balance. If we shirk this responsibility, it will be an unpardonable act of every enlightened human being and organization that values liberty and dignity.
Great article, well argued and unfortunately very true. So who’s going to bell the cat? ie who is going to ensure that this warning will be disseminated to the general population. It may be too late already. Much of the media is in fear of allegations of islamophobia, and therefore, either intimidated, into compliance or have become willing dupes; educational institutions, from kindergartens to universities have been infiltrated and the students brainwashed with propagnda paid for with limitless oil money. How does one alter the mindset of an entire generation of people?
