Does anyone remember what happened on
September 11, 2001? Or is it just “ancient history” at this point? Some three
thousand totally innocent Americans were murdered by a sneak attack on the Twin
Towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Who did it? The same
murderous Islamists who attacked an event in Garland, Texas to focus attention
on the insanity that passes for one of the world’s great
“religions.”
Islam is not a religion. It is a cult
around the so-called prophet Mohammad and his assertion that the Koran was the
word of Allah. The name Islam means “submission” and the purpose of Islam is the
tyrannical control over the entire world’s population. Within this alleged holy
faith, two sects, Shiites and Sunnis, have been at war almost from its
inception, never failing to kill one another.
The turmoil in the Middle East is the
direct result of this murderous cult and those Muslims who oppose the killing
that flows from Islam must keep their silence or become its victims. Jews and
Christians can speak out and debate about aspects of their faiths, but Muslim
risk death when they do so. For those Jews in Christians living in Middle
Eastern nations, death is always a prospect for no other reason than not being
Muslim.
Americans have not yet fully embraced
the fact that they are on the front lines along with other Western nations in a
global war with Islam.
Will it take another 9/11? Surely the
recent attack by two Islamists on May 3rd in Garland, Texas, was another wake
up call. They arrived intent on killing as many of those attending the American
Freedom Defense Initiative event. A
Garland police officer killed both before anyone had to die in the name of the Bill of Rights.
But why Garland, Texas? Because, as my
friend Amil
Imani noted in a recent commentary, “The venue was chosen as a defiant
response to a Muslim group that had held a conference entitled ‘Stand With the
Prophet Against Terror and Hate.”’ Ironic, eh?
Their response to the event that invited cartoons of Muhammed as to want
to kill the participants. If that is not war, I do not know what
is.
If Muslims feel hatred, they have
earned it here in the United States and elsewhere they have attacked any
criticism or defiance, from Charlie Hebdo in France to the countless attacks
around the world from Mumbai, India to Bali. A website, the Religion of Peace,
com, posts news of the daily assaults by Muslim on both other Muslims and those
they call “infidels”, unbelievers.
Pamela Geller who leads the American
Freedom Defense Initiative has been widely assailed for her event that was
intended to respond to the earlier one in Garland that Amil Amani noted “was
convened to eliminate free speech or any expression, verbal and/or artwork
depicting the Islamic prophet Mohammad in a negative
light.”
“As a life-long expert on the subject
of Islam, I felt that this event—more than anything else Pamela could have
done—would be the target of a violence terrorist attack in the name of the
religion of peace, either real and explosive or on social media at the very
least.” It was real.
The Garland police were taking it
seriously. Amani said “I was astonished at the large police presence already
there. Some of the cops were dressed in tactical gear and carrying AR-15s. The
security was ubiquitous, almost as if something untoward had already
happened.”
Speaking in an interview with Sean
Hannity on May 6, Geller noted that neither the FBI nor the Department of
Homeland Security has yet to have contacted her about the thwarted attack. “This
is a serious threat” said Hannity. “Basically a Fatwah, a death threat, has now
been issued.” Geller noted the lack of interest or concern expressed by those in
our government one might expect to at the least make an inquiry, adding that “I
have a team now, private security, and NYPD counterterror has been in touch with
me.”
Now I call that a level of courage for
which Pamela Geller should be praised, but I heard too many criticisms that she
was being “provocative.”
“Provocative”?????
When are Americans going to realize
that the Islamists do not need any provocation? When are we going to start
acting like we are at war? A good first step would be to stop inviting Muslims
to immigrate to America. The Obama administration has been importing as many as
possible. The next step is to understand that it is Obama and his administration
that are part of the Islamic war.
It is the Pamela Geller’s that are
crying out to us. We need to listen. We need to support them. We need to arm
ourselves if we have not done so already. Then we need to secure “concealed
carry” laws in every State of the Union. We are at
war.
