Democrats:  Islam’s Best Friends 

By

If Paul Revere were alive today and was making his famous ride to sound the alarm that the enemy is coming, he would be arrested.  The American Civil Liberties Union would charge him with violating the separation of church and state because one of the signals would come from a church steeple and the Council on American/Islamic Relations would call him a racist.  No doubt about it, poor Paul wouldn’t recognize his beloved country.   

These days, America has a high ranking Democratic senator claiming that our military “tactics” are no better than those of Nazis and murderous dictators responsible for deaths of millions.  His words spread across the Arab world like a wildfire driven by gale-force winds.  Arab television translated Senator Durbin’s words and played them repeatedly.  Durbin’s statement was printed in Arab newspapers and was given top billing on Islamic websites.  The Islamic terrorists must be thanking Allah hourly for men like Durbin.  It’s one thing for Islamics to tell their followers how evil America is, but when an American senator tells the Arab world that America is evil, it is a gift of incalculable value to the enemy.   

Now, there are American politicians demanding that the enemy be given a timetable for an Islamic victory in Iraq.  During World War II, it is very fortunate indeed that the Congress of 1944 didn’t demand that our troops be brought home on June 5 because the war had just gone on too long and casualties were too high. 

There is only one reason the leftists in America are so willing to slink out of Iraq and turn over the Middle East to Islamic terrorists—they hate George W. Bush.  Don’t be fooled into believing that they care one wit about the military.  Leftists loathe the military.  An American soldier, to a true progressive leftist, is and always will be nothing more than a “baby killer.” 

There can be no denying that parts of Iraq are in turmoil.  Car bombings, suicide bombers, assassinations, and beheadings happen on a daily basis.  The terrorists carrying out these attacks know exactly what they are doing.  The terrorists want Iraq for themselves so that they can link with Syria and Iran to become the most powerful force in the Middle East.  What terrorists are doing in Iraq is practice for them.  They have every intention of coming here and doing the same thing.  Pulling out of Iraq will only expedite those attacks. 

If the leftists in America succeed in convincing the American people that the war in Iraq is lost, the Islamic terrorists win.  Iran will possess nuclear weapons and it will use them.  Israel will be bombed relentlessly.  Anyone believing the United Nations would do something to stop Islam is mistaken.  The United Nations is totally cowed by Islam. 

Old Europe is almost lost to Islam.  Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci has been charged with “inciting religious hatred” in her new book, “The Force of Reason.”  Freedom of speech no longer exists in Italy when it concerns exposing the truth about Islam.  Humbling the majority of Spanish people was easy, even by Islamic standards.  A few well-placed bombs on a train and Islam had complete victory.  France is terrified of a terror attack and with President Chirac’s good friend Saddam out of power in Iraq, there is no one to protect Paris.  

New Europe is a different story.  Those people have dealt with the horror known as Soviet domination.   Ask the people who lived behind the Iron Curtain about Soviet gulags.   They will be far less prone to cower before Islam.    

 If Iraq falls into the hands of the Islamic terrorists, there will be an immediate “cleansing” of all Iraqis who dared work with the Americans.  The massacres would rival anything Pol Pot did in Cambodia.  The bleeding-heart leftists were responsible for the deaths of over a million people in the 1960s and they learned nothing.  The hatred for Republicans in general and President Bush in particular has blinded the progressives to the carnage that would follow an American abandonment of Iraq before the fledgling Iraqi government can defend itself against a savage enemy.  Once again, those yearning to be free in the Middle East will learn that America is not to be trusted.   

The Federal Bureau of Investigation broke up one small terrorist cell here in America.  This is a good thing.  The bad side of that situation is that terrorists are like fleas:  for every one that you see there is one hundred that you do not.   

The alleged terrorists arrested had been trained in methods of planting bombs in hospitals and grocery stores.  How many times have Americans been told that Islam never targets civilians?  Does anyone believe anymore that Islam tells the truth?  Every American is a target.  All Americans, young and old, are the enemy.  When you have an enemy willing to strap a bomb on his body believing he will be a martyr for Allah, it is foolish to believe that the authorities will be able to divert every attack on our schools, malls, theaters, restaurants, stores, and churches.   

All Americans should try to imagine what it would be like to live as the Israelis have for over 50 years.  A mother sends her child to school only to hear that the bus has been bombed.  A father lets his son go to a movie at the mall, and sitting next to his son is a suicide bomber.  A man on his way to work on the subway never arrives because a cyanide bomb has been released on his car.  Anyone who thinks that will never happen here needs to watch tapes of the attack on 9/11.  We never thought that would happen here either. 

America needs to grow up.  We are fighting a soul-less, ruthless, enemy who does not play by the Marcus of Queensbury rules.  It is an enemy that has only one rule:  Kill all infidels by any means necessary to ensure that Islam will rule the world.  This enemy kills children and claims victory.  This enemy executes helpless men whose hands are tied behind their backs and laughs as we agonize over the fact that someone who would butcher an American baby without a thought is suffering in a chilly air-conditioned room.  To Islamics, Americans who wring their hands over the treatment of prisoners are weak and a joke.   

As terrorists blow up people and the Quran in mosques and imprison and torture Christians all over the Arab world, they must think we are quite insane to beat ourselves to death over Abu Garab and Guantanamo.  Islamics use the ridiculous agonizing over prisoner treatment against us.  Terrorists don’t have to worry about prisons.  They torture and behead their prisoners and move on without a second thought. 

The Islamic terrorists are listening to the leftists like Senators Dick Durbin and Ted Kennedy and they are laughing.  The experts say it is just a matter of time before the attacks start here in America.  As usual, the leftists will blame it on George Bush.  People like Representatives Dennis Kucinich and Nancy Pelosi won’t blame the terrorists.  They will do what their kind always does:  blame evil America.
