Do we know that we are at war?
By Tom Quiner
We’ve been in the midst of World War III for decades and don’t even know it.
The war has been waged by Islam against the rest of the non Islamic world. Attacks take place on a daily basis throughout the world. People die by the thousands at the hands of people who say they kill in the name of Allah.
Muslim apologists (liberals) find it necessary to construct moral equivalencies between Islam and Christianity. Sure, Christians do bad things. I don’t know one that isn’t a sinner. That’s why we need Christ. But Christians don’t kill in the name of Christ, because that wouldn’t be true to Christianity.
The risk the United States faces is a denial of the threat of Islamic terrorism. President Obama has bent over backwards to avoid using the words Islamic and terrorism in the same sentence. That’s why the Fort Hood Massacre was labeled as “workplace violence,” despite the fact that the killer screamed “Allahu Akbar” as a prelude to his murderous rampage.
What an insult to the intelligence of the American people and the memories of the victims.
Dramatic developments are waking up Americans that this country is truly at war. ISIS has made it clear that they are at war with us and that they are coming for us.
I hope someone tells President Obama when he gets back from his vacation.
The grotesque beheading of American journalist, James Foley, has impressed upon most Americans, the president excepted, of the danger Islam presents to our nation.
Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, seemed almost shaken when he described ISIS as “beyond anything that we’ve seen.”
He didn’t pull punches:
“ISIL [also known as ISIS]is as sophisticated and well-funded as any group that we have seen. They’re beyond just a terrorist group. They marry ideology, a sophistication of strategic and tactical military prowess. They are tremendously well-funded. Oh, this is beyond anything that we’ve seen. So we must prepare for everything.”
A Catholic Archbishop has experienced firsthand the unrelenting savagery of Islam in Iraq. Archbishop Amel Shimoun Nona and his entire apostolate were driven out (if not killed) by ISIS. He warned America:
“Please, try to understand us. Your liberal and democratic principles are worth nothing here.
You must consider again our reality in the Middle East, because you are welcoming in your countries an ever growing number of Muslims. Also you are in danger. You must take strong and courageous decisions, even at the cost of contradicting your principles.
You think all men are equal, but that is not true: Islam does not say that all men are equal. Your values are not their values. Our sufferings today are the prelude of those you, Europeans and Western Christians, will also suffer in the near future.”
Archbishop Nona’s advice:
“If you do not understand this soon enough, you will become the victims of the enemy you have welcomed in your home.”
Secretary Hagel’s advice:
“Get ready.”
President Obama’s reaction:
“Fore!”
Reblogged this on Reality Check.
Excellent summary. I was amazed that now, only now, Hagel comes out to say that. We’ve known it for a long time. But all he did was define and describe it. We don’t need descriptions. (though the right definition of the source wouldn’t hurt) Nona is right. And what about the priest beheaded a while back?
Nazis did not have a built-in support group to draw on from around the world. This is evil in its pure form. And it is suductive too, A famous journalist described evil in his book and summarized it this way in his lecture, “to explain evil is to excuse it”. That works well for me. There is a danger in just trying to explain it. (when we know the basis of it …)
Thought-provoking comment. Thanks for writing.
Sorry, it was Lance Morrow, “Evil: an investigation”
