Here Comes the Arab

Here Comes the Arab/Muslim Outrage

Barbara J. Stock

Any minute now we will hear the collective roar of outrage from Arabs and Muslims around the world about the death of a “helpless” wounded terrorist at the hands of an “evil” and murderous American Marine. Why was this Marine so quick to shoot? Perhaps the fact that just the day before one of his friends was killed by a booby-trapped dead terrorist when he checked the man for life. Perhaps it was because he still bears the wounds he received in the same incident. The fact that it happened in a mosque means nothing since that same terrorist had no qualms about killing from inside it. I say pin a medal on that Marine. He probably saved another Marine’s life.

Completely overlooked is the news of the past few days in which the mutilated body of a western woman--as yet unidentified--was found disemboweled, tortured, her throat slit, her face beaten beyond recognition, and both arms and legs cut off. Today, it is being reported that a video has been seen by Al Jazerra showing British-Iraqi aid worker Margaret Hassan being brutally executed. Al Jazerra will not show this video because it says the video is too “offensive and brutal.” But I fully expect this mouth-piece for radical Islam to show the shooting of the “innocent” terrorist in a sacred and holy mosque every 15 minutes.

Could it be that the senseless murder of an innocent and truly helpless Muslim woman is not something they want the world to see? Al Jazerra does not want the world to see what Islam is really all about. Not to worry--the terrorists responsible will find a willing Islamic site to post their video. They always do. After all, all terrorists need an avenue to brag about their great victories. Beating and murdering a woman begging for her life is a great victory for them, is it not? Does this not show the world what brave men they are?

Over the past few days I have received many e-mail messages from indignant Muslims and most of the time, somewhere in the body of the message, is the line: “Americans violate the Geneva Convention all the time! You are animals.” I have this message for them and for any terrorist who might by some chance read this column: “No, we do not violate the Geneva Convention.” But I am fast reaching a point of saying that if we do, “So what?” If the enemy were even vaguely human I would be unbendable on enforcing the Geneva Convention, but this enemy is presenting itself as anything but human. How does brutally murdering a woman who has spent the last 30 years of her life helping the Iraqi people advance their cause? Even the butcher of Baghdad, Saddam, left Margaret Hassan alone.

I would like any one of them to point out to me where placing bombs on wounded men is acceptable. Where is it allowed that the enemy can place roadside bombs in the chest of some poor soul it has murdered and then blowing up whatever fool comes to close?

This enemy has broken the rules right from the start. It wears no uniform but hides among the civilian population. Those same civilians are terrorized into submission and used as human shields, if need be. Non-military workers are kidnapped and murdered on a regular basis in the most brutal fashion by cowardly men who feel the need to hide their faces. Now it has even sunk to beating women to death and mutilating their bodies. This enemy executed a woman in glorious color so it can share the fun with its loving and adoring followers and enjoy the moment of her death over and over.

This enemy waves a white flag of surrender and then, when close enough, pulls out guns and begins killing. It has forced pregnant women into cars and used them to get close to a checkpoint so they can trigger a car bomb. It has placed bombs in the schools of small children and used the next-door mosque to house the trigger mechanism.

In Russia, this enemy held up babies by their arms and laughed as it showed the dying infants to the world. This enemy slit the throat of a filmmaker in the Netherlands because he showed the truth of how women are brutalized by Islam. The people who cheer them on have the nerve to demand that America abide by the Geneva Convention? It has the unmitigated gall to scream in righteous indignation over the shooting of a man who was brutally killing everyone in sight the day before and planting bombs in schools to kill Iraqi children?

It is outrageous that supporters of these creatures of death demand that America play by the rules while those same animals are slitting the throats of innocent people and beating humanitarian workers to death and mutilating their bodies. One can only hope the mutilation was after death and not the cause of death, but when you are dealing with an Islamic terrorist, no one can be sure. The pain of others is the Islamic terrorist’s life blood. Screams of agony is music to his ears.

This breed of terrorist is like no other. It feeds on the pain and suffering of its victims like the famed Dracula fed on blood. Like a drug addict, it must kill, torture, and maim on a regular basis or it will start to feed on itself from the insanity caused from the loss of its “fix” of murder and death. The adrenaline rush from killing requires more and more killing to reach the same high. This enemy displays great pride in its handiwork and takes copious pictures and videos to share with its loyal followers who live vicariously through it. If their “enemy” cannot be reached, it kills its own. It must kill to live.

I am sick to death of receiving e-mail messages that decry the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition and witch burnings. We Christians evolved. We grew up and realized the difference between right and wrong. Christians and yes, Jews, learned long ago that if we truly wished to be one with God, mindless killing was not the way. We learned what it was to be human. This grotesque caricature of humankind slaughtering in the name of Allah has not evolved, it has reverted to the animalistic ways of cave men. No, the cave man was a step above. He only killed to live, he didn’t live to kill.
