For eight years we have been writing almost exclusively about domestic issues. In those eight years we have purposely avoided the subject of this column, but it has become so dangerous and so explosive that we can no longer ignore it.
In the middle of last week we wrote an article ("in between the lines of the Parallax Prophecies .....") on "What the President SHOULD Say to Islam", in an attempt to elevate the rhetoric about the dismal foreign policy of the Obama Administration as it pertains to the uprising in the Middle East in particular and radical Islam in general. One of our readers pointed out to us in responding to the article, that the President doesn't have the power to declare war on a country without Congressional approval, which we advocated in our article and he is right. It is patently unconstitutional, but nevertheless, that didn't stop Clinton from declaring war in Bosnia and that didn't stop Obama from declaring war in Libya ..... without Congressional approval. In contrast to Clinton and Obama, Bush did receive Congressional and UN approval to go into Afghanistan and Iraq.
Another reader pointed out that given the current situation in the middle East, where 21 countries are now on fire and violently attacking American assets and personnel, such an action by the President, that we proposed in our article, would have started World War III. Both of those readers were right on the mark with their assessments. The truth is, the article was our way of venting and there were a considerable number of readers that agreed with us.
Even though we were off the mark in our approach to Islam with that article, that doesn't remove the very serious threat of radical Islam to the West and more particularly to America.
The Muslim problem of radicalized Islam is going to be with us for a very long time and could easily precipitate a third world war, even without our intervention. Muslims represent over 20% of the world's population, estimated to be around 1.6 billion people. Those that practice the radical form of Islam have been estimated to be around 10% of that 1.6 billion, or in the neighborhood of 160 million people. The intransigent, fixated views that radicalized Islam holds, have and will continue to come into direct conflict with Western civilization, until the western world will have to deal with it as a culture must deal with any bully. Radical Islam only understands a force greater than they are and will only capitulate to that greater force. The more the western world tries to placate radical Islam, the more radical Islam will feel empowered to press forward with their radical views and agenda. They now strike at us with virtual impunity and we do nothing. We did that once with Hitler, which led to World War II and an estimated 70,000,000 deaths. Are we destined to repeat history ..... again? Under the abysmal foreign policy of the current administration, it is almost a certainty.
The greatest danger to America is the insane government policy of political correctness and the refusal to acknowledge that radical Islam presents a clear and present danger to the security of America. If the peaceful element of the Muslim religion does not noisily and forcefully denounce radical Islam, the rest of the Western World will be forced to deal with radical Islam with overwhelming military might.
It is a foregone conclusion that eventually radical Islam will be successful in perpetrating another 911 style attack on America and thousands of Americans will be killed because we refuse to confront radical Islam head-on in the mind where it breeds and in the nations where it exists, with overwhelming force. Oh sure, we have fought wars in the Islamic world, but it is extremely doubtful that we have changed many minds in the process and in fact, we have only solidified their belief that we are the great Satan and must be taken down. This does not mean however, that we are against using force when force is required. But using force without the determination to win a clear victory and unconditional surrender by the enemy is a tragic waste of the blood and treasure of our men and women in uniform and a grossly negligent waste of taxpayer funds that support the war.
Ten years to subdue the Taliban in Afghanistan is a testament to a failed military strategy. We seem to be more interested in building a nation in the image of America on the backs of the American taxpayer and pandering to the indigenous people, rather than conquering our enemies swiftly and with dispatch. We tolerate pandemic corruption, we put up with our soldiers being killed by those we are trying to protect and train and we capitulate to the dictates of a male-dominated ancient religion that lives in the darkness of ignorance and superstition and gets a particular joy out of brutality and savagery.
Europe is being overrun with radical Muslims and they are making attempts to change European culture. In the fall of 2011, radical Muslims in Switzerland lobbied to get Switzerland to take the cross out of its national flag because it offends Muslims. They didn't succeed but they will keep trying. French Muslim immigrants riot in the streets, burn cars, damage property and create general mayhem in their un-assimilating enclaves. Radical Islam does not assimilate, its intent is to annihilate those that will not convert to Islam, based on the mandates of a book written 1,600 years ago.
"[M]osques containing violence positive materials were substantially more likely to include materials promoting financial support of terror than mosques that did not contain such texts. A disturbing 98 percent of mosques with severe texts included materials promoting financial support of terror. Those with only moderate rated materials on site were not markedly different, with 97 percent providing such materials."
"These results were comparable when using other indicators of jihad promotion. Thus, 98 percent of mosques that contained severe-rated literature included materials promoting establishing an Islamic caliphate in the United States as did 97 percent of mosques containing only moderate rated materials."
If you have not already done so, we encourage the reader to listen to Obama's Cairo speech HERE and see for him or herself that this President is not only unqualified to be president, he puts America in further danger by showing radical Islam that we are peace-loving, non-profiling Americans and that we will bend over backwards to appease and pander to our enemies.
In a previous article we wrote the following: "If there were no bullies or mad men with power in the world, there would be no need for war. Therefore, to not confront the bully (or madman) with equal or a greater force is to agree to be enslaved and be forced to endure whatever the bully wishes to inflict upon you. Since bullies and mad men with power are a fact of life and have been since civilization began, then for a government to not be prepared to confront the bully with an overwhelming force is negligence, bordering on treason."
This statement applies equally to all enemies of America and freedom, foreign or domestic.

The government is bring America down so the brotherhood can walk in to take over. Just look at what they are doing to the middle east and saying all for the betterment of the people...Like Iran where the elite or rulers have the best of everything like homes and food and drive the best cars and all paid for with cash stolen from the people who have to walk...
Muslims have infiltrated the US Government in high places. That is a threat to our security.
We need to stop defining the problem as Radical Islam and saying that the majority of Muslims are peace loving. Islam is not a religion let alone a religion of peace. By definition a true believer in Islam can only serve one law and that is the law of Sharia. They are sworn to kill all non-believers. They can never become a citizen of the United States because they will never assilimate into and accept our laws or beliefs. As Queen Isabella of Spain did about the time of Columbus, they need to be removed from this country. They will never accept Christianity or Judaism or the followers of those religions. They only desire to eradicate us.
Arthur,
I fully agree. A Muslim is a Muslim and they all want to follow Sharia Law.
The Muslims come here and pretend to be "moderate" but, if they are given any slack to do what they want, they then begin to demand that Sharia law be used first in their communities, then in the wider areas around them. (See what happened in Europe about this.) Dearborn, MI is one of those places where you can expect for hell to arise given the opportunity. Any American who wanders into their areas in Dearborn are shown that they are not wanted there. They are not welcoming us. They have taken over the school system. They practice Sharia Law under cover--they can't do this in the open yet. Some Americans protested in Dearborn, and the police department just stood by and did nothing when the Americans where attacked. And we let these people into our country. And they won't assimilate. Anyone getting a clue as to how this is going to come out for us Americans?
Yes, they need to be removed from this country! Lock and load. This is coming to your neighborhood soon. Just a couple of miles from where I live, there is a pack of Muslims living in an apartment complex. Most of these people are "immigrants" and their housing and food, etc is being paid for by the tax payer. Let's just welcome welcome our enemy with open arms. Next, our goverment will be asking us American idiots to dig our own graves (in the literal sense since we've already done it otherwise.) That's what all those Homeland Security coffins are for.
What Americans dont understand also that under Sharia Law women have no right and no say in anything, Also if a male says she was not doing what she is told and he kills her its OK under Sharia Law.... the Iman say you did right by taking her out.... That goes for children also.....
Pat,
This is one major reason that this female veteran will fight to the death to keep my freedom (and dignity). I will never, ever accept treatment like that.
Sandy I am old Navy and the Wife was Army and we got out in 62 but we would stand with you....
Has anyone considered that Obama might be manufacturing a crisis in using Radical Islam to rise up here in the U.S. in order to justify martial law? Our wonderful President might be complicit in promoting open borders in order for huge numbers of radical Middle Easterners to illegally immigrate into the U.S. and wait for orders to create a period of terror across our country. And if that happens, you just watch the people cry for martial law to stop it. In addition to the Islamic radicals, America has so much hatred and bigotry that these groups just might join in to create more mayhem. I hope I'm wrong, but there are far too many dots that connect and indicate such will be the case.
Remember that Obama was raised a muslim.. Not a everyday brain washed one but one of the Elite so in his mind he can do no wrong and is going to be the ruler of the new world. He is counting on calling for martial law and will turn the Radical islams loose on the USA that have been here trainning for the last 3 years with the governments approval and doing small attacks with the white house OK. Thats why he wants the people disarmed so his private army can walk in and take over. If you are a infidel, unless you are worth something to the muslims, you will be taken out and put into a mass grave....Just like they did to the German people at the start of WW2, with the OK of Hitler....So millions of Jews and Christian died at the hands of the muslims and they are looking forward to do it again in the USA What those idots in Washington dont understand that they are a big target just like the little guy in town, for the Islamics dont care who just how and soon...
I'm hoping that the two worms in Obama's brain (radical Islam and Communism) will turn on each other and distort the efforts of both. This problem is going to get bigger than the people can handle if they aren't organized, and that seems to be illegal to do.
