Analyst's note: Must read. The author of this article makes a number of fascinating points that need to be considered. It is critical to our national survival to understand the mind our global Islamist jihadist enemy. I trust that after reading these few extracted points, you will want to click on the title above and read the entire article.
"[...] his book, Dreams From My Father, in which he waxes sentimental about his Muslim father and heritage. In the book, Obama states outright that given the choice, he will always stand for Muslims.
In short, Barack Obama seems to have a romanticized idea about the Muslim world, one in which there is really no room for many of its uglier realities.
" [...] Giving credit where it is not due disparages other cultures and unfairly lifts a culture that is by its own admission determined to impose its way of life on the West. Lifting it unjustifiably contributes to the myth that it is harmless, as it seeks to infiltrate Western countries. And unfortunately, the person who is arguably the most powerful man in the world, the U.S. President, buys enthusiastically and naively into the myth. His willful ignorance contributes to an environment where the real threats that Islam imposes, the real hatred that it nurtures for other ways of life, are ignored. And we can’t afford to ignore it much longer.
It was amusing and not a little chilling to watch the televised exchange a few weeks ago between U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and the House Judiciary Committee, when Holder absolutely refused to say that “radical Islam” was even one element in the reasons why suicide bombers would attack on U.S. soil. His verbal acrobatics as he repeatedly avoided the phrase were in the end so obvious that the result was hilarious (it has become a YouTube favorite). [...]
The goal here is not to disparage a religion. Or a people. [...] The truth is that millions of Muslim people are slave to a violent, intolerant ideology called Islam, and that this ideololgy has pestered and menaced the Judeo-Christian world since its birth in the 7th century, and that it is now a rapidly increasing threat to us all – in a way that we have not seen since Muslim armies conquered Spain and penetrated deep into France, and continuously attacked the rest of the Mediterranean coast of Europe in the early Middle Ages. Their motive was not land or riches, which they already had in abundance. It was one thing: the advance of Islam and the eradication of the infidel."
" [...] Moderate practitioners of Islam are continuously silent in the face of rising violence in the Islamic world. They are silent as “radical” imams preach hate on Western soil, and arrange to build mosques mere feet from the site of the World Trade Center horror. They are silent when bomber after bomber attempts to infiltrate peaceful Western societies. Why? Is it because they themselves are not quite sure about the real motive of Islam? Or is it because they know the motive all too well?"
