Not that they’re not beautiful birds. Actually they’re not. They’re rather ugly. But that’s irrelevant. More importantly, I like being able to see. We all like being able to see. Literally and figuratively, the whole world likes being able to see. All the time. So why are our heads buried in the sand? Deep in the sand where we can’t hear or see. We want to believe in peace and love. And if we believe in peace and love, everyone ought to believe in peace and love. So should I unconditionally believe in peace and love? That sounds nice and romantic. What if someone’s trying to kill me? What if they just want to obstruct my right to worship or protest? Or my use of language?
Surprise, these things are happening. Every day, we give in to believing in nonsense and we lose. We lose to Muslims. No, I’m not adding ten different qualifiers to “Muslims” because I mean most Muslims. I’m characterizing the majority. I mean that most Muslims are either committing acts of terrorism, supporting terrorists openly, tacitly condoning terrorism by harboring them, or spinelessly burying their heads in the sand and saying they don’t know anything about anything. The end result is the same: a religion openly spiteful and actively engaged in killing Christians and Western nations is allowed to proliferate and gain traction in every facet of our society. Wake up, everyone; this is Hitler marching. This is World War III. They’re out-breeding us 4:1, they hate us and they figured out how to beat us. We elect our politicians democratically and since politicians want to stay employed, they vote for their constituencies. So now European countries are outlawing the flying of their own national ensigns because Muslims are offended by the flag. How can a flag subjugate their religion when the same flag guarantees their right to worship? Don’t bother answering that question because you don’t need to understand it once there’s no hope in repealing it. They’ll soon have the majority of the voting populace so if you live there, you will either supplicate your values or move. But you’re running out of places to move. We just elected the most socialist president this country’s ever seen. As our situation grows more and more dire, people become more afraid and bury their heads even further in the sand. Now all the people with their heads in the sand (or in Hollywood, your choice) can establish a community where they can feed eachother more mindless drivel about peace and love. I guess as long as we can talk about peace and love we can plead innocence and ignorance while our country is overrun by well-funded and well-educated Muslims. I’m a woman so I’ll be prepared to be enslaved and beaten. That won’t be so bad because we all believe in peace and love.
Never forget 9-11. Let’s not concede our country to the very people who attacked us. Demand accountability. Our military is bravely taking the fight to our enemy in the Middle East. Do them the honor of not conceding the fight on the domestic front while they’re not here to protect us. They’re protecting all our rights, including ambivalence. Withdraw your head from the sand; you won’t recognize it the way your left it.
Read America Alone by Mark Steyn. I will not recount the many well-researched points he makes and I’ll never forget them. He will open your eyes.
Mary Steyn is wonderful. It’s amazing what facts tell us and most people have no way to answer an argument founded in rationality. Emotion provides so much more wiggle room.
It is hard to believe that the majority of Muslims have a hand in terrorism or violence. The Golden Rule is a part of Islam, too. “Do unto others as you would have the to unto you.” I think those committing violence are the outlying fanatics. Many acts of terrorism or violence by Muslims target other Muslims.
Remember the Christians and the Crusades? I doubt if the majority of Christians consider that to be representative of their beliefs.
WordDreams, I’m glad you agree about Mark Steyn. I wanted to regurgitate one fact after another that he cites in his book America Alone but I figured I’d just suggest everyone read it. He’s extremely well-researched and, just as I took my friend up on the book recommendation, I hope more people do the same!
Jake, I agree with you that it’s hard to believe. I certainly don’t want to believe it. It’s much more comforting to believe that since we promote that they’re a peaceful religion, that they are a peaceful religion. Good advertising does not replace the truth. Why are we the only ones who follow the Golden Rule? If they blow up innocent women and children, does that mean that they will accept the same fate? They did it, so we should be able to do it unto them! Well we are a humane country and don’t want to do that to them. We isolate our war to combatants. They know that, so they use noncombatants as human shields. Some “peaceful religion.” Ok, you say the people who do that are the extremists. Why are the extremists able to get away with it? If the MAJORITY of Muslims do not support their effort, then why are the extremists able to continue? If 80% of San Diego was aware of a gang who was committing atrocities, we would turn them in because we don’t support that. I refuse to demean Muslims by not holding them to the same standard. It would be disrespectful to not give them the credit they deserve to say that they’re perfectly capable of identifying bad behavior and responding appropriately to keep it from happening. No, instead they don’t do anything which makes them supporters while pretending to be hapless victims. If I were raising children in an area where I knew a gang set off car bombs, to protect my children I would do everything I could to keep car bombs from going off. That’s the REASONABLE thing to do. Why isn’t that happening? When a majority of people don’t want something to happen, it won’t happen. You are correct that many acts of terrorism by Muslims targets Muslims. Does that alleviate blame on behalf of the Muslim population to stop terrorism? No it makes it even more condemnable that they haven’t already. Terrorism is getting worse, not better. They have support over there that we aren’t combating because we aren’t recognizing it because they keep saying how “peaceful” they are.
I appreciate your comment.
