We are in a war against radical Islam and their goal is to take over the world. The Islamic religion and its followers remind me of a creature on Star Trek The Next Generation known as the Borg. The Borg were a collective unit that went about the universe assimilating all life forms into their collective. Radical Islam is no different in that their desire is to assimilate everyone or kill them. This is from page 362 of the 911 Commission Report (the Committee designed to cover Clinton’s failures):
Bin Ladin and Islamist terrorists mean exactly what they say: to them America is the font of all evil, the “head of the snake,†and it must be converted or destroyed.
Converted or destroyed. To radical Islamic terrorists there is no distinction between government and religion and they look at what they are doing as a noble cause. Where we have regard for human life and would never strap bombs to our children and make them blow themselves up, the radical Islamic terrorists see this as an appropriate method to kill or convert everyone. bin Laden is not the only Islamic terrorist to say these things. The head of Iran wants to wipe Israel off the map. I believe that is because the Jews are God’s chosen people and the Islamic terrorists see that as a threat to their quest for world domination.
Bin Laden and other Islamic terrorists see only two options, convert or be destroyed. I see a third and that is (for them) be defeated. We can not and will not lose the war against terrorism, which is a war against Islam. It does not matter how many different ways the politicians sugar coat it and try to insulate some in the Muslim world, the fact is their religion of peace is only peaceful to other Muslims who follow the Islamic law. Why do you think CAIR has not spoken out against any of the atrocities that the Muslims have committed? To them, the acts were perpetrated against non-Islamic terrorists, or infidels, so it is perfectly OK. Let a Muslim have underwear put on his head and they go berserk.
We are in a war that will last a long time. We must engage and destroy them. Make no mistake, my position is entirely different than theirs in that I do not want to force Christianity (or any other religion) on them and would be happy to pack up and go home if they would extend the same courtesy. The simple truth is, they will not stop until we have been assimilated or destroyed. I say we do not stop until we have reduced them to an ineffective force.
Those on the left who continually argue that our acts in Iraq have encouraged more Muslims to become terrorists are completely wrong. The Muslims would recruit their people to commit terrorist acts regardless of whether we are in Iraq or not. We were not in Iraq when they bombed the Cole, attacked the WTC the first time or the second time. They recruited people to kill us simply to cut the head off the snake. I think it is wonderful that we are bringing people who would be terrorists anyway to Iraq. Our war there has drawn them out of their holes and given them a place to focus their efforts. Instead of having to fight them all over the world, we gave them an arena to come to so that we may send them all to hell.
The left can tell us as many times as they want to that Islam is a peaceful religion but that does not make it so. We need to recognize it for what it is and understand that it is a an ideology that has no room for the thoughts or views of others. We must also realize that the only way to keep from being assimilated or destroyed is to fight and kill. Any political party that is unable to see this and unwilling to take this action is not fit to lead this country. Cutting and running will give the enemy another foot in the door.
