The suicide bombers continue and now public
executions are beginning. Iraqis continue to kill Iraqis in alarming numbers.
Shia Muslims want revenge against Sunni Muslims. Sunni Muslims want their
power back. Iraq has a serious problem.
The problem in Iraq isn't the people in general.
The problem isn't the new government or even the presence of coalition forces.
The problem in Iraq is Islam.
Islam, the self proclaimed "religion"
of peace and love cannot stop killing its own people in the name of Islam
and Allah. Islam is a religion that proclaims murder is wrong, and the killing
of a fellow Muslim absolutely forbidden. Despite that, Muslims seem to have
no problem killing a fellow Muslim if it is convenient or will lead to one
sect having more power than another.
Recently in Iraq, Shia Muslims stopped buses
and cars and anyone who was not a Shia Muslim, was executed. Over 40 Sunni
Muslims were murdered by their fellow Muslims. Apparently, this was done in
retaliation for the bombing of a Shia mosque by Sunni Muslims. This week,
a funeral procession was stopped and all the mourners were executed. Muslims
are killing Muslims and there isn't an American soldier in sight to blame.
While American forces take great care not
to violate any religious law by even entering a mosque, Muslims blow up mosques
and kill fellow Muslims who are praying to Allah, and no one within the so-called
"moderate Muslim" ranks utters a peep of condemnation.
Let an American soldier be accused of killing
an Iraqi civilian and the howl of outrage and the blood-lust for revenge is
heard from one Iraqi border to the other, and it reverberates throughout the
Muslim world. But as Muslims commit mass murder within Islam, the Islamic
leaders around the world turn a blind eye.
The split within Islam began the day Mohammed
died and it has grown more violent ever since. There is a good reason for
this: Islam is a violent and warring belief. It is so violent that if unable
to kill a perceived enemy, it turns on its own, ending lives in a hail of
bullets or in a premeditated explosion from a suicide bomber. The killers
are then instantly dubbed martyrs-for-Allah for killing fellow Muslims who
did not follow Islam as their sect interprets Islam.
For over 50 years, tiny Israel has been fighting
for survival in a sea of Muslims. Israel has been attacked nearly nonstop
since the day the United Nations gave the Jews a small plot of desert to call
their own. But even that tiny piece of land is too much for Islam to tolerate.
The "Middle East" is a land mass
of approximately 2,061,000 square miles. In contrast, Israel is a tiny country
of about 8,000 square miles. Yet, in all of that space, Islam cannot bear
the thought of Jews living on "their land." Make no mistake, it
is not because the countries in the Middle East are nearly all Arab; it is
because most of the Middle East is now controlled by Islam. Once again, it
is Islam that is the spark for war. It is the teachings of Islam that demand
constant fighting and killing. All the killing and all the war is explained
to the people as the "will of Allah."
Islamic leaders put forth the belief that
Israeli land is Muslim land. Islamic teachers believe that Muslims were there
first. This is incorrect, since Judaism has been in the Middle East for at
least 4,000 years and Islam only about 1,300 years. Even if one looks only
at the Arab/Jew combination, leaving religion out of the equation, the Jewish
people were in power in the Middle East several times throughout history.
It is apparent that Jews have been in the Middle East just as Arabs were throughout
history. Later, many of these Arab Jews became Arab Christians after the death
of Jesus and the birth of Christianity, which was also in the Middle East
prior to Islam. In fact, there were and still are Arab Jews and Christians.
For the most part, Christianity has been purged
from the Middle East. While some countries have a small minority of Christians,
they are persecuted and tormented and in many cases, they are not even allowed
to be full citizens of the country of their birth because they are not Muslim.
In most Islamic countries, non-Muslims cannot own land and their children
are not allowed to attend the better schools.
Islamic leaders don't care about the plight
of the Palestinian people and have never cared about them. Aid money has poured
in for the Palestinians to build schools and hospitals and the life of the
average Palestinian never improves. The Islamic leaders and the Palestinian
Liberation Organization have taken that aid money and lined their own pockets
with it and used it to wage war against Israel while telling Palestinian women
to have more babies to sacrifice for Islam. Hamas spends what little money
comes in on weapons of death instead of improving the lives of the people
who depend on them. All the while, Islamic leaders tell the Palestinians their
hellish lives are solely because of the evil Jew.
Palestinian refugees, who have been forced
to live in camps in neighboring Arab/Islamic countries for decades, are treated
very badly. They have no rights and cannot find jobs, and the camps are a
breeding ground for the hatred that Islamic leaders need to keep the war alive.
Now there has been a brutal attack in India
with hundreds dead and injured. Some will say that this has nothing to do
with the war America is involved in. Only the foolish believe this. Whether
it is the attack on 9/11, London, Madrid, Russia, Bali, and now India, the
common denominator in all these attacks is Islam. Attacks have been thwarted
in Australia, Canada, England, France, and the United States.
The "politically correct" (and grammatically
incorrect) term for this is the "War on Terrorism." The PC folks
of the world need to wake up and smell the burning train car. This is a war
against the ideology of Islam. It is Islam that is behind nearly every terrorist
attack in the world today. There is not a day that passes that someone, Muslim
and non-Muslim alike, does not die at the hands of a follower of Islam. It
is not possible to have peace with a "religion" that only believes
in war.
