Let's imagine a war is being fought between two cultures. One side is clear in it's purpose and hatred of it's enemy. The other side is unwilling to admit there is a war; fearful of offending the aggressor. Who do you think will win this war?
They are telling us they are jihadis. We need to believe them.
Appeasement does not win the hearts and minds of Islamists. They just know that you are weak. The politically correct governments in the UK have gone out of their way to appease their Muslim population. They allow Sharia courts and afford Muslims special treatment not available to British subjects. The government is terrified of even identifying criminals and terrorists as Muslims out of fear of being called Islamophobic. This appeasement has resulted in the establishment of Muslim ghettos where cops fear to enter, non-Muslims live in fear and Sharia-enforcing thugs brazenly walk the streets. Today's beheading is not a surprise. It is what happens in Muslim culture. This will happen more and more often throughout Europe and the United States as long as we refuse to recognize the clear and present danger of the Islamist movement.
Obama doesn't understand warfare
If we are to defeat the Islamists, it is important to actually recognize what our enemy is and what motivates him. We also have to accept that this will not be a war with clearly defined battlefields, combatants and an easily recognized end point. We are not fighting a nation and we are not fighting a terrorist network. We are fighting an ideology. That this ideology is a pan-national, cultural and political movement disguised as a religion should not change how we must fight to defeat it. Sometimes our enemy will be a state that uses organized armed forces or terrorist proxies to advance the Islamist cause. Other times our enemy will be an individual living among us who belongs to no organization, but is still driven by the same Islamist ideology. One thing is certain, however; we will never prevail if we do not honestly acknowledge what and who our enemy is. And we will not win unless we are willing to fight. Appeasement will not work.
Obama will monitor all electronic communications in the US but won't allow monitoring of mosques
Now we know that the Obama Administration has ordered that mosques be excluded from surveillance activity. That's right. The place where almost all domestic terrorists are created. The place where jihadis are regularly recruited; the mosque. And Obama wants them protected from surveillance because........?????? Well I can't think of a logical reason.
"I mean people will die from this policy, but at least we won't offend Muslims, because if you do, well people will die."
Those idiotic bumper stickers have always annoyed me. All of the world's religions have been living together in relative peace lately.......except for one. The only one whose tenets call for the submission of all other religions and non-believers; that would be Islam. Hindus, Jews, Christians, Buddhists, Sikhs and Zoroastrians are not advocating conquest and forcible conversion of those who do not share their beliefs. The sooner we, as a nation, come to acknowledge this fact the sooner we will be able to defend ourselves against it.
"My point is this: Evil talks about tolerance only when it’s weak. When it gains the upper hand, its vanity always requires the destruction of the good and the innocent, because the example of good and innocent lives is an ongoing witness against it. So it always has been. So it always will be. And America has no special immunity to becoming an enemy of its own founding beliefs about human freedom, human dignity, the limited power of the state, and the sovereignty of God."
Archbishop Chaput or Philadelphia
It is impossible to win a war when you won't even acknowledge that your enemy hates and wants to destroy you.
