Islamists Becoming Unbanned in Pakistan

So the Pentagon and the State Department are assuring Americans that Islamists will not get a foothold in Pakistan anytime soon?

Well since the Musharraf resignation banned Islamofascist terrorist organization have become unbanned in preparation for them to be involved in the political process in Pakistan.

Memory jogger: Currently Pakistan is the only Mohammedan nation (Iran is knocking at the door) that his nuclear WMD.

With or Without Nukes, Iran Is a Mortal Threat

Here is an interesting Op/Ed from Ayn Rand Institute (ARI) Objectivist Elan Journo.

I might mention that it surprises me an elite writer at ARI is for taking it to Iran for its obvious military belligerence toward the United States of America.

I am pleased Journo’s alludes action should be taken against Iran.

Islamist Infiltration in America and the West

Christian evangelism is winning the hearts of people for the Kingdom of God through the sharing or witnessing of the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross and the Lord’s bodily Resurrection of New Life.

Yes there have been bloody wars over what man has thought to be the correct doctrine of the nature of Christianity; however that is contrary of the Great Commission written in the Holy Scriptures.

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore[c] and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.[d] (Matt. 28: 16 – 20 NKJV)

14 Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they[b] will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” 19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.[c] (Mark 16: 14 – 20 NKJV)

46 Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise[h] from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. (Luke 24: 46 – 47 NKJV)

21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” (John 20: 21 NKJV)

8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me[a] in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1: 8 NKJV)

These New Testament Scriptures demonstrate the true way to convert or proselytize people to Christianity: Find people, Share the Good News, People believe or disbelieve and people are Redeemed by the Blood of Jesus through belief or have chosen self-condemnation by disbelieving. Human force is not part of Redemption. Humanity then is divided up between the sheep and the goats at the Last Judgment and they are rewarded/judged according to their choice.

Of course we know as the nature of the human being, self-enthusiasm took the road of forced conversions and judgment of choice mostly in the Middle Ages through the Reformation. The Scriptures show that this was not the Way of Christ Jesus.

Now let us look at the Mohammedan way to win converts to their Allah.

Here are numerous Mohammedan scriptures that demonstrate that persuasion was part of the plan of conversion: CLICK HERE. Peaceful persuasion was not the example neither set by Mohammed nor even found in many of the Mohammedan scriptures.

Here is a host of Mohammedan scriptures that require forced conversion: CLICK HERE. Unlike Christian New Testament Scriptures it is inherent in Mohammedan scriptures to utilize violence, humiliation and mayhem to force a conversion or receive a judgment of death.

It is the path of forced conversion that spread Mohammedanism in multi-directions to build an empire. The only way such a huge empire could be maintained is to have loyal Mohammedan subjects as the majority who had power to humiliate and tax heavily an allowed minority of non-Mohammedans. Forced conversion was essential. It was like a Star Trek Borg thing – Resistance is futile. (I wouldn’t be surprised if Roddenberry got the Borg idea from Mohammedans.)

So really Mohammedanism is a political ideology that uses religious rules and rituals to maintain control of the populace. As the centuries went by in the conquered lands the religious rules and rituals became inculcated in the minds of the populace as the generations of people went by.

At this point if you are still with me you have to be asking yourself, “Why is this guy making a point to show his dislike of Mohammedanism?”

Here is the thing. Mohammedanism – particularly the Islamist kind – is a program for one world rule by man utilizing religious cultic symbolism to maintain a system of despotic oligarchs by tribal leading elites or clerical leading elites. There is little respect of the rights of man in the Western sense because all sentient humans must submit to the will of Allah according to clerical (i.e. humans) interpretation of Mohammedan holy scriptures. In essence the rule of law is based on an often despotic ruling oligarchy which sometimes is transcended by a charismatic individual that is a supreme cleric (a Caliph or Ayatollah) or a supreme all ruling monarch or dictator.

The spread of Mohammedanism is non-Mohammedan peoples are by persuasion, deceit or violence. These three conversion methods are all a part of the Mohammedan scriptures. Although violence has been used in the history of Christianity to convert people, it is not a method prescribed in Christian Scriptures as fulfilled in Christ Jesus.

The one world aspect of Christianity is the result of the fulfillment of God-action not human-action. The martyrs that die for Mohammedanism die as a result of fighting for a devoted human leader (even if it takes innocent lives with him). The martyrs that die for Christianity die because they are persecuted or not willing to give up their faith to a belligerent human leader.

Now that I have defined my view of Christianity and Mohammedanism in the world today, let us look at Mohammedanism in lands that it is the minority or dar al-harb in Mohammedan language. (Lengthier description of the Islamist view of dar al-harb HERE)

In the West I still believe there is a large amount of Mohammedans that seek to live a Western law abiding life; however I also think this is a pendulum swinging toward the Islamist view of jihad and dar al-harb because most of the well financed Mohammedan Non-Profit Organizations (NGO’s) and Mosques are being financed and/or are teaching radical Islam.

In America there is a significant appearance that radical Islamist organizations have infiltrated the highest levels of American Government that at the very least may affect policy making decisions.

One example of this is the outrageous dismissal of Maj. Stephen Coughlin as an Islamist expert by Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England at the behest of his friend advisor Hesham H. Islam. The Defense Department has given a cover story of termination of the Coughlin contract because his services were no longer in the budget. The thing that makes the cover story fishy is that Hesham H. Islam has been linked to American-Muslim organization Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) which was an unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF trial (Doc. Attachment A Section VII no. 3) and a front organization of the Egyptian Islamist organization Muslim Brotherhood.

Mohammedanism is clearly becoming a political force in the West and America where I live. The Theo-political cult is increasingly following the Muslim Brotherhood fifth columnist infiltration and it is a scenario I truly am not amenable toward.

The Heinous Support of Islamism by the Western Left

One of my friends at the Vox Community discovered one of the most libelous videos on David Horowitz and Conservatives who are educating America on the difference between Islamist Theo-political ideology and Mohammedanism.

I personally confess to being an Islamophobe because Mohammedan holy writings are the ammunition Islamists use to promote their dream of an intolerant international Caliphate in which the globe must submit. I know there are Mohammedans out there that condemn Islamism; however there are not nearly enough and most are quiet about the dastardly deeds of homicidal deaths inflicted on people who would otherwise could less of an Islamist existence.

This video by acg103 (can also be viewed at Humbled Infidel) is a load of crap skewed horribly by disinformation to use snippets to support an untrue of hatred. In affect acg103 is spreading the accusation of hatred of Christianity and Conservatives who stand for morality and against Islamist theo-ideology.

If acg103 was caught by an Islamist, the terrorist would whack his head off for being an atheist. Acg103 may protest: “But I supported your right to practice your religion,” as the Islamist sword was drawn (as so many times in the past) to execute decapitation.

The Islamist might reply: “You are an infidel and worse, you do not believe in Allah.” As the blade begins its descent acg103 would these last words: Allahu Akbar (Allah-god is the greatest).

Acg103 has the audacity to call those who expose Islamism racists and hate mongers. In fact if you visit acg103’s YouTube site it is enmeshed in pink. Friends pink and red are colors of Marxists. Acg103 sounds like the kind of Marxist that used to dominate the old “Evil Empire” – The Soviet Union. The old Soviets were masters of using lies to try to propagandize their citizens and the foolish outside the Evil Empire’s sphere of influence.

O what a day it was when people like Ronald Reagan (representing the true America) and Pope John Paul II (symbolizing Christianity) brought the Evil Empire to its knees in a glorious collapse.

Acg103, the same exposition will happen to your pack of Left Wing lies!

The Real Islam Revealed: Watch it while you Can

This is YouTube video post by JTF.org that everyone should see. I wish to thank Twana’s Blog for alerting me of its existence (well really she wanted me to see something and I stumbled up on it). It is entitled, “The Real Islam Revealed.” Twana has it for friends only at Vox Blog so you may not be able to comment there; I am a bit more public and I am not afraid of the radicals blistering me with Islamofascist rhetoric.

I have to inject a quick note about the video: It is extremely anti-Mohammedan. It is so anti-Mohammedan that I suspect YouTube may pull it, so watch it while you can. JTF.org is very Judaic and Zionist to the point of being arbitrarily crude sometimes; however they are not afraid to point out the bad nature that indeed exists in the Quran and the Hadith – Holy Scriptures to Mohammedans.

I know there is a moderate Mohammedan that will not only be offended by “The Real Islam Revealed” but will disagree with its message. That is because the silent majority of Mohammedans in the West practice their faith in relative peace in a 21st Century style rather than the retro Medieval Islamism advocated by radical Islamofascist terrorists of both Sunni and Shia persuasion. Nonetheless whether the quiet Mohammedans agree with the video or not, JTF.org is telling the truth about Mohammedan scriptures and practices of extremists that are more and more becoming the voice of Mohammedanism.

So you so-called Moderate Mohammedans that are out there, instead of whining about Islamophobia stand up for your moderation and become vocally condemning of the Islamists that is becoming the representative voice of Mohammedanism to non-Mohammedans.

What is Weakening the West from Within?

Vanishing American has posted one of the best Christian Apologist essays I have read in some time. There is a lot of content in the essay. It is entitled, “Is Christianity Weakening us?” If I grasped the message correctly (I read it quickly), Vanishing American is saying that some anti-jihadists are blaming Christianity for a slow destruction of the West from within allowing a toe-hold of migrating Mohammedans.

Then the essayist refutes this premise by saying it is the intrusion of Left Wing thought that has corrupted the nature of Christianity to instill a guilt complex upon Churches infected by this liberalism.

If I understand Vanishing American’s essay properly I whole heartedly agree. The success of radical Islamists in Western culture is the result of a Leftist view of egalitarianism that expects an intolerant death cult will assimilate into free speech/thinking tolerant Westernism. This same Western Leftist thinking has placed a politically correct guilt complex upon them self to feed Mohammedan non-existent victimhood over a time of exploiting Western colonialism.

If Christianity is weakening the West, it is the diluted denominations that have rejected Biblical Morality and the supernatural power of the Godhead.

I am more than a little impressed that Vanishing American criticizes one of the greatest anti-jihadist writers of Europe – the blogger Fjordman. I have to tell you I am an admirer of Fjordman thus I am a bit impressed with Vanishing America to put forth logical reasons as to why Christianity is NOT weakening the West, rather it is “liberal” Leftist transformation that has become a virus in much of mainstream denomination.

A RATIONAL FEAR OF ISLAM

Here is a May 19th essay about Islamophobia written by Pat Santy (AKA Dr. Sanity). It is an awesome erudition of my thoughts and thus it has found its way to SlantRight.

**********************************************

A RATIONAL FEAR OF ISLAM


Pat Santy
Dr. Sanity Blog
May 19, 2007


Michael McBride says to call him an "Islamophob":

Phobia, as described by Webster... “an exaggerated usually inexplicable and illogical fear of a particular object, class of objects, or situation.”

Foxnews.com picked up on an Arab News story coming out of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) in Islamabad, Pakistan on Thursday that describes
Islamaphobia as “the worst form of terrorism” and the OIC was asking for steps
world wide to curb it.

The OIC describes Islamaphobia as the “deliberate defamation of Islam
and discrimination and intolerance of Muslims.” The OIC alludes to Islamaphobia as a concern well before 9/11…“Islamophobia became a source of concern, especially after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, but the phenomenon was already there in Western societies in one form or the other…” They offer no specific examples.

I’ll be the first to acknowledge that the variety of the world’s non-Muslim countries cultures’ mix with Muslim culture like water and oil, but prior to 9/11; in spite of dozens of aircraft hijackings and the murders associated with many of them, in spite of the 1972 Olympics; in spite of the Achille Lauro (1985), in spite of the first WTC bombings (1993), in spite of the bombings of the Khobar Towers (1996), in spite of the indiscriminate killing of hundreds in the US Embassy bombings (1998), in spite of the USS Cole (2000), Muslims were able to live peacefully throughout the world without fear, harassment, nor threat of persecution.

In fact it is nearly impossible to directly associate any link between 9/11 and an increase in crimes against Muslims in the US. The best accounting I can find is here at religioustolerance.org, where the outrageous attacks on Muslims after 9/11 translates to 3 dead, one beaten, some threats made, and some property damaged.

[It] pales in comparison of the carnage that lies in the wake of motivated Muslims…twelve innocents dead in Munich, one innocent dead on the Achille Lauro and dumped into the sea, six dead and over 1000 injured in the first WTC bombing, twenty dead and 372 injured in the Khobar Towers bombings, over two hundred dead and 4000 injured in the US embassy bombings, seventeen dead in the USS Cole attack. Add in 2973 dead in the 9/11 attacks, 191 killed and 2050 injured in the Madrid bombings in 2004, Theo van Gogh murdered in the streets of Amsterdam 2004, fifty-two dead and 700 injured in the London bombings of July 2005, several killed and property damage worldwide in the aftermath of the Danish cartoon scandal of 2006. By my count that is nearly 3500 innocent people killed by those purporting to be believers in the religion “of peace.”

Sorry if I am more afraid of Muslims than I am of, let’s say, you run of the mill yokel who made some anti-Muslim remarks on 9/12. Those serving the Prophet have a much higher kill ratio than the Christians, the secularists, the atheists, the agnostics, the Jews, and the Wiccans combined.

In fact, being afraid of "the religion of peace" after the innumerable acts of violence, terror and depravity committed in the name of Allah is not exaggerated; not inexplicable; and most certainly not illogical.

What the OIC is exhibiting is a sort of meta-Islamophobia--an Islamophobicphobia, to be precise; or, as I would define it, " an exaggerated, usually inexplicable and illogical fear of mere criticism of Islam, as well as a pathological reluctance to hold it to account for the actions and behavior of its followers."

There is much written both in the Middle East and in the West about the proposition that Islam is "under siege" and that hatred of Islam is a rising concern. This has been repeated frequently particularly since the global war on terror (which actually is a global war on Islamic fanatiacism). Those who decry this reality are not only reluctant to admit that the wave of terror and irrational hatred sweeping the world is specifically associated with the religion of Islam; they simultaneously blame the victims of the terror and the objects of the irrational hatred as the one's responsible for its existence. Islam is given a free pass and the shouts of "God is Great" that precede the latest atrocity apparently have nothing to do with what is written in the Koran.
It is getting harder and harder to keep a straight face as the knee-jerk denial and sanctimonious utterings of organizations like CAIR and the OIC fill the news media on a daily basis.

Islamophobia? Anyone who by now has not realized that Islam has given carte blanche to the fanatics in its midst is either completely out of touch with reality, or living on another planet (e.g., planet Hollywood, or planet Marx).

Muslims in Europe claim they are justified in rejecting Western society for a variety of reasons:
(1) oppression;
(2) poverty;
(3) the Iraq War; and/or
(4) the institutionally "racist" culture of the West, which "forces" Muslims to accept the values of the countries they choose to imigrate to. Interestingly, Muslims seem to expect that those countries should be forced to abandon their own traditions and adopt Muslim values.

So, let me say for the record that I reject being labeled as "Islamophobic" utterly. Rather, I have a healthy, rational fear of a religion that aggressively seeks my submission or death. For most of my life, it seemed reasonable to ignore Islam.

I liked it that way.If I had thought about Muslim values at all (and I didn't) it is likely that I would have been completely turned off to the religion, as opposed to being indifferent to it. I was mildly disgusted and appalled when examples of its rampant brutality were brought to my attention, but frankly, I never understood enough about the religion to place the responisibility for its adherents' behavior onto its teachings.

After 9/11 and becoming aware of organizations like Al Qaeda; ideologies like Wahhabism and its spread; and suddenly recognizing the Palestinian issue for the red herring it was, I could no longer permit myself to be ignorant of the core "Muslim values" they exemplified.

In an ideal world, I shouldn't even have to say it, but Islam has forced me to explicitly and loudly state that I absolutely, thoroughly and unequivocally reject Muslim values. What follows is not an exhaustive list, but let me touch on some of the highlights that form the basis of my rejection:

1. If we are going to talk about oppression, shall I begin with the ubiquitous institutionalized oppression and humiliation of women in Muslim society? Detractors claim that the Quran does not foster this attitude, but witness the devaluation of women; the sexual fear of women; the incarceration of women; the infantilization of women; the social marginalization of women, etc. etc.

2. The overt and institutionalized anti-semitism in Islam, that is frankly paranoid and of psychotic proportions.

3. The assumption of the victim role while actively victimizing other religious groups. This is the entire psychological manipulation involved in the cries of "Islamophobia !"

4. The hypocritical call for tolerance, while promoting intolerance and bigotry among its own adherents.

5. The glorification of death rather than life.

6. The fostering of mindless obedience and punishment of independent thinking.

7. The poverty of ideas and rational thought among its leaders.

8. The inability to condemn unequivocally the barbaric acts done in the name of Islam.

9. The fact that you would force your religion on me, if you could.

As I said, the list is not exhaustive. There are many more reasons why I have come to my intense rejection of this particular religion. As stated in a previous post:

I DON'T CARE ABOUT ISLAM except insofar that people of that faith want to destroy me, my family, my country and my way of life. For more than 50 years of my life, Islam and I got along famously. I completely ignored it; and praise be to Allah, it completely ignored me.

After September 11th, I could continue to live in a state of denial and ignorance about the fact that Islam had come to represent all the values that are incompatible with human life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Or, I could face reality and recognize Islam as a serious threat to all I hold dear and value in the world.

No; a rational, healthy fear of Islam's barbaric medievalism and its desire to subjugate the entire human race under the yoke of its god is perfectly appropriate and continually justified by the fanatical behavior of millions of Muslims everywhere on the planet.

This is not Islamophobia; this is common sense.

Islamofascist Fear and Hatred

Well it seems radical Islamists have discovered that I expose their ideology as not a religion of peace but as racist hate mongering terrorists that are such cowards that they post comments as “anonymous.”

I love it! In their pursuit to offend me they reveal the truth about their inherent nature of Islamofascist evil. I leave most of their comments up to demonstrate that evil among radical Mohammedans.

Here is an example of the coward “anonymous” posting a comment at “The True Peace of Jerusalem.”

The cowardice is in the fear to reveal his/her name because the proponents of fear are fearful of discovery. That is why Islamofascists murder, run and hide.

Radical Mohammedans Strengthen Terrorist Networks

Mark Mazzetti and David Rohde writing for the New York Times, confirm a story I heard on Fox News: al Qaeda is growing in strength and reconnecting with its international network of Mohammedan murderers and thugs.

I was a bit surprised to read this in the NYT, but I am guessing the staff believes it is an embarrassment to President Bush. Really it is confirmation the War on Terror is the Long War. If a Democrat wins the Presidency in 2008, he or she will be publicly humbled by withdrawing troops from either Iraq or Afghanistan. A base of troops needs to be available to finally close the deal on nations harboring terrorists, even if they be old allies (e.g. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan and the rest that promote radical Mohammedanism).

If a Republican is elected in 2008, he or she needs to finally decide to win this war even it is politically incorrect to do so. Ahmadinejad and bin Laden have attacked the basis of our culture with impunity and have asked the West to convert to Mohammedanism. Maybe it is time to let Mohammedans know that the West (can say) leave the West and Israel alone or we will begin to terminate the locations in the Middle East and Iran that you consider Holy: Mecca, al Aksa and Dome of the Rock come to mind in such a threat.

The Terrorism of radical Mohammedanism (Sunni and Shi’ite) is aimed at decimating civilian familial communal ties. The radicals believe the West and Israel’s devotion to civilians is a weakness; so they murder civilians of the West (and Israel) and hide like cowards in the midst of their own familial communities knowing how much the West finds it horrific to throw the baby out with the bath water. I say send a warning of what will happen, if it is not heeded, follow through forthwith.

How’s that for a politically incorrect thought? Let’s quit playing around and finish this.

Woolsey on WWIV and PA not Deserving of State

James Woolsey was Director of the CIA from 1993 - 95. This means he was the Director during the Clinton Administration. I suspect his opinions about Mohammedans limited his CIA Directorate to two years.

Here is a report on an interview Woolsey gave in Arutz Sheva (Israel National News). I know I am a few days behind in posting this January 24 article, but it is worth the read. I doubt Woolsey’s thoughts hit the Mainstream Media (MSM).

Woolsey begins by defining his belief Western style Democracies are involved in World War IV with “Islamist Totalitarianism.” It is Woolsey’s contention that World War III was the Cold War. I agree.

Then Woolsey embarks on his reasons as to why the Arabs called Palestinians are undeserving of a sovereign nation. The central thesis of that belief is the Palestinian school systems teach extreme hatred of Jews from the earliest remedial academics through the highest academics. One example is that the Jewish people, including references from the Koran attesting to the corrupt, dishonest character of the Jews. Here is a good article of a history of anti-Semitism which includes Mohammedan thoughts that are ingrained in their culture as fact: Roots of Anti-Semitism.

Islamists Rising

Joe Mariani has written an essay on ChronWatch giving his summation of the aftermath of the 2006 elections.

Mariani points out that Islamists (radical Mohammedans) have interpreted the Democratic Party’s victory as the result of their global terrorist escapades of death and destruction. The Democratic Party perception is their victory is a referendum on bad management of the war in Iraq – thus the imminent cut-n-run propositions will be forth coming.

If the Democrats have at least an ounce of Patriotism, they will clarify their point of view on the war on terrorism in a way that refutes radical Mohammedan jubilation as a validation of terrorist tactics.

Islamists Rising

Written by Joe Mariani
Monday, November 13, 2006
ChronWatch

As the dust of the 2006 election settles, it’s clear who the real winners are. Our enemies pay far more attention to our politics than most of our citizens, and know just how to manipulate our media to achieve maximum impact. Do you think it’s a coincidence that October was constantly referred to as, “the bloodiest month since 2003” in every newscast for weeks before the election? Just as they swayed the Spanish election in 2004--but failed to do three times in Iraq--our enemies have influenced our own political process to benefit themselves.

More than anything, the 2006 election results have sent a message to members of our own military. What must they think when they see Dick “our troops are like Nazis” Durbin taking the number two position in the Senate, and Jack “they’re guilty without a trial” Murtha vying for second banana in the House? The new leaders of Congress will meet next week with former presidential candidate George “Come Home, America” McGovern, whose 1972 bid failed due to his radical anti-war stance. McGovern will be advising our new leaders on how best to pull the troops out of Iraq by June of 2007. What other conclusion can anyone draw than that we, as a country, do not support those who fight on our behalf?

By putting into power those who advocate retreat from Iraq in the face of the enemy, we have failed the troops who depend on our moral support to sustain them. The only Democrat plans for Iraq I’ve ever heard are “cut and run” (immediate withdrawal), “cut and walk” (phased withdrawal), “split and quit” (divide the country, declare victory and leave) and “hide and bide” (retreat to secure bases and let Sunni, Shi’a, Kurds, Ba’athists and al-Qaeda fight it out). Not one major Democratic leader has called for winning, and our troops know that. Nancy Pelosi, who will soon take her place as Speaker of the House, considers Iraq “not a war to be won, but a situation to be solved.” By putting the Defeatocrats in charge, we have sent our troops the clear message that we do not support them or their mission.

What’s even worse, we’ve sent our enemies that message, too.

Al-Qaeda and other terrorists have always believed that they could win because we Americans are too soft for war, and can’t take the sight of our own blood. Those fighting our troops in Iraq have continued against the odds because they knew that if they keep up the pressure, the anti-war Democrats would push for retreat--and now, they control Congress. Terrorists have understood all along that a Democratic sweep of Congress would be their victory. All they had to do to reach that conclusion was listen to the speeches of major Democrats over the last few years.

“Of course, Americans should vote Democrat,” said Jihad Jaara, a senior member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, adding that “there is an atmosphere in America that encourages those who want to withdraw from Iraq.” Muhammad Saadi, a senior leader of Islamic Jihad, said the Democrats’ talk of withdrawal from Iraq makes him feel “Very proud from the great successes of the Iraqi resistance.” Hamas leader Abu Abdullah said that talk of withdrawal “proves the strategy of the resistance is the right strategy against the occupation.” Islamic Jihad leader Abu Ayman said he is “emboldened” by those in America who compare the war in Iraq to Vietnam.



AP reports that Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, the leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq, is well satisfied by the way his efforts affected the 2006 election. Speaking via audio tape, al-Muhajir “welcomed the Republican electoral defeat that led to the departure of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld. He added that the group’s fighters would not rest until they had blown up the White House.” According to Reuters, “Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Friday called U.S. President George W. Bush’s defeat in congressional elections a victory for Iran.”

Yet the Democrats never question why our enemies would celebrate their victory.



Osama bin Laden declared war on what he considered a “weak horse” (1996) and a “paper tiger” (1998) after watching American troops ordered to pull out of Somalia after only 18 casualties in 1993. The attacks by thugs and terrorists in Iraq today are aimed, not at our troops or the innocent Iraqis who die in them, but at our will to fight. America, our enemies believe, has no stomach for battle.

So the American people have spoken, and--whatever the truth may be--it sure sounds as though we said, “the enemy was right.”
