In
my last vent, I referred to the fact that our leadership didn’t seem to
understand the nature of militant Islam. I remember GWB standing before the
nation after 9/11 and saying something to the effect that Islam was a peaceful
religion that had been hijacked by extremists. It was apparent that he
had very little understanding of Islam, or of the conflict that had started
fourteen centuries ago.
It’s
been twelve years since 9/11, and there is no indication that leaders of the
West have learned very much about Islam since then. Matthew 15:14 ….”If
the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
Senator John
McCain showed his ignorance about Islam theology, and the Syrian civil war a
couple of weeks ago when he took exception to Bryan Klimeade of Fox and Friends
stating the Syrian rebels were shouting the jihadist battle cry “Allahu akbar”
as they were fighting. McCain was incensed, and told Kilmeade that was
the same as a Christian shouting “thank God”. WRONG, Allahu Akbar
means Allah is greatest, greater than all the Gods of the infidels,
particularly the triune God of Christians. It has always been their
battle cry as they killed the infidels, and is used to strike terror in the
hearts of their enemies.
McCain
is also naïve about secular rebels being in position to replace Assad. It
has been widely reported that a large majority – as much as 95% - of the rebels
are foreign Sunnis. That would mean Al Qaeda.
The
Prime Minister of Great Britain showed his ignorance of Islam – or fear of –
after the Westgate Mall massacre last weekend when he said:
“These appalling terrorist
attacks that take place where the perpetrators claim they do it in the name of
a religion – they don’t. They do it in the name of terror, violence and
extremism and their warped view of the world. They don’t represent Islam or
Muslims in Britain or anywhere else in the world.”
With all due
respect to the Prime Minister, he sounded as dumb as the US President.
Since 2001, the Muslim population of Britain has almost doubled. More
Brits attend mosques every week than churches, and there are neighborhoods that
are off limits to police, where sharia law is being practiced.
The US
President is so politically correct that he has refused to call our Fort Hood
massacre a terrorist attack. It’s ironic that he calls it “work place
violence”, but Major Hasan, the traitor/shooter called it exactly what it was,
a terrorist attack.
The website
– http://thereligionofpeace.com/
lists 21,647 attacks of Islam terror since 9/11. The website also has lots of
Muslim history that westerners need to understand if we are to survive.
During the last week the attack on the church in Pakistan has claimed more
lives than Westgate, but it has had very little attention in US media.
Our Middle
East foreign relations during the last half century seemed to have done more
damage than good. How has precipitating the removal of the Sha of Iran
worked out for us? A secular government that was no threat to the US was
replaced by the Ayatollah.
A little
history; The Sunnis and Shiites are the two main branches of Islam. Their
split came after Mohammed’s death, and was about who his successor should be.
They don’t like each other, but their hatred of the infidels will unite
them. Shia’s only comprise about 10% of Islam, and only Iran, Iraq, and
Bahrain are majority Shia.
Sadam
Hussein was Sunni, but was secular, and was running a secular government in a
majority Shia nation. They are now under the influence of Iran.
Iran and Iraq had fought to a standoff before we in effect handed Iraq to Iran
by first removing Sadam and then removing our troops. Bashar Assad is
Alawite. They are a small Shia sect, and he has been governing a majority
Sunni state. A Shiite crescent is developing across the Middle East.
As an uninformed
westerner, I was convinced that the Shiites were much more dangerous than the
Sunnis after Iran took our hostages and started developing nuclear
weapons. In reality, it’s like comparing a rattle snake with a
cobra. To use a phrase coined by that great American
politician/diplomat/statesperson Hillary Clinton; “What difference does it
make?” They will both kill.
A secular
Egypt is absolutely necessary for long term Middle East stability. The
wisest thing the Egyptian military has done since retaking control is outlawing
the Muslim Brotherhood. The Egyptian military is important enough to
Saudi and the Gulf States to be receiving ten times as much in aid from Saudi
as the US is giving.
Saudi is the
home of the Wahhabi sect. They are as fundamental as the Brotherhood, but
even though they are both Sunni, they hate each other. The royal family
was put in power by FDR for oil. Saudi Arabia has financed Wahhabism, and
is financing fundamental Mosques and madrassas. Most of the financing for
major terrorism is coming from “our friends” the Saudis.
That is a
subject for another my rants.
