Mr. President, Please Explain….

Mr. President, during your prayer breakfast speech, you addressed the issue of atrocities committed in the name of religion.

Please explain how it is that you have no trouble attributing the crusades, the inquisition, slavery and Jim Crow directly to individuals acting in the name of Christianity, yet you continue to insist that atrocities committed by muslim jihadis in the name of Islam and Islam are mutually exclusive.

It was a jihad - for all intents and purposes, a crusade - that lasted for over nine hundred years that left Islam in control of the middle east, northern Africa, and much of the Iberian peninsula.  It was atrocities committed against Jews and Christians - an inquisition, if you will - as well as the capture of the Holy Land in general and Jerusalem in particular that brought about the crusades.

Muslims are responsible for instituting their own version of Jim Crow - dhimmitude - against the unconverted living in their controlled areas, essentially relegating them to second class citizenship status.

It was muslim slavery and pillaging of American personnel and shipping traffic that led to the assault by US Marines on Tripoli on orders of President Thomas Jefferson, yes, the same president to whom you attribute the "celebration" of the first iftar at the White House.  You know it was nothing of the sort.  The dinner in question to which Libyan ambassador Mellimelli was invited was to have taken place at 3:30 pm.  The ambassador, however, was observing the ramadan fast, so the dinner was re-scheduled to after sundown as a diplomatic courtesy to accommodate his religious beliefs.  Jefferson had no reason to love Islam.  It was his earlier meetings, while US ambassador to France, with Ambassador Sidi Adja that taught him (as he reported to Congress), 

"...that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every muslim who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise." 

Some 1.5 million white slaves were taken by the Barbary (muslim) pirates.  To this day, muslims lead the world in the slave trade. 

Mr. President, you argument simply doesn't hold water.  Muslims have done all of these things in the name of their religion for millennia.  If you attribute guilt for similar atrocities directly to those who committed them in the name of Christianity, then you must also acknowledge and attribute the same atrocities to the muslims that commit them in the name of their religion to the present day.

Obama: Radical Islam A "Phenomena," Not A Threat...

Radical islam has taken over countries in the middle east and threatens France, Britain, and other European countries, yet Pres. Obama refers to it as a "phenomena... that has metastasized," but he does 

"...not consider it an existential threat… This is one we will solve. We are stronger, we are representing values that a majority of Muslims believe in — in tolerance and working together to build rather than destroy."

The president cannot just will ISIS or any other radical islamic terrorist threat away. Claiming to have the moral high ground has not stopped radicals from destroying other societies that also claimed to have the moral high ground, and it won't stop them here, either. This is not a problem "… to be solved," it is a clear and present danger to be eradicated.

Thomas Paine made the following observation, and it holds true today: 

"I am thus far a Quaker, that I would gladly agree with all the world to lay aside the use of arms, and settle matters by negotiation; BUT UNLESS THE WHOLE WILL, THE MATTER ENDS, AND I TAKE UP MY MUSKET AND THANK HEAVEN HE HAS PUT IT IN MY POWER," emphasis added.

It is time to take up the musket against these radical islamic terrorists, and thank heaven He has put it in our power.

ISIS Is Throwing A War - Are We Attending?

In the aftermath of the Sotloff beheading, Pres. Obama finally said this morning that we would deal with ISIS. That is, we are going to try to make them a "manageable problem." Not destroy them, we are going to work with regional partners to try to contain them in Syria. But we're not going to go to war with them or try to destroy them.

The administration's approach reminds me of a line from Tom Clancy's novel, Executive Orders: "'The UIR is going to throw a war,' J-3 thought, 'and nobody's going to come.'" Executive orders is about a newly formed islamic caliphate, too, that attacks the US. That would be a good read for Pres. Obama.

There is no way to make this a "manageable problem." As long as even a few of these people survive, they will again recruit a following and make war. I am not a war hawk, but we have been operating with this same mindset toward the middle east for decades. We go in, pacify, leave, and then watch as a new crop of extremists rises. A show of force will never work. Pacification will never work. They operate on a "destroy or be destroyed" premise. Containing them in Syria, as the president has suggested, only accomplishes two goals: it gives the president the justification he has wanted for the last year, since the Syrian civil war began, to enter Syria, and it concentrates ISIS on the border of Israel - their REAL target.

As it stands, we are likely going to have to deal with ISIS both OVER THERE AND HERE in the very near future.

FBI: ISIS Is Here...

"In one message Amreeki Witness mocks the curfew police have imposed in Ferguson to bring an end to the disorder, saying: 'We IS guys hate you for your freedom, eh? Just like that freedom uplifting curfew in #Ferguson? Wake up, or they'll never let you outside.'

"As the social media campaign began to take hold, with dozens of radical Islamists commenting on the Ferguson protests, Amreeki Witness tweeted: 'May be time to organize the Muslims in America upon haqq and mobilize to #Ferguson. Defend the oppressed, start jihad here.'

"The message attracted a large response, with one Islamist calling himself Amarka Al-Ahlam responding: 'Preach, brother. We must organize brigades in preparation for the oncoming storm. #FergusonUnderIS #JihadinFerguson.'"

September 11, 2014….

Mr. President:  NEVER AGAIN.

An Open Letter To Gov. Rick Snyder Regarding His Participation In The Upcoming Islamic Society of North America Convention...

Governor Snyder,

You are slated to participate in the upcoming convention for the  Islamic Society of North America (ISNA).

The ISNA  was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator and member of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Holy Land Foundation Trial, a trial that focused on fund raising efforts by the Holy Land Foundation on behalf of Hamas to facilitate "... a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands ... so that ... God's religion [Islam] is made victorious over all other religions," http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/printgroupProfile.asp?grpid=6181. 

Another unindicted co-conspirator named in the trial, Jamal Badawi, is also slated to speak at the upcoming convention convention. 

The Holy Land Foundation was shut down by the government as a result of that trial.

In addition, another speaker for the convention, Siraj Wahhaj, was named in the trial for his involvement in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.

Governor, let me be direct: what business does the governor of the State of Michigan have involving himself, and by extension, ALL of the citizens of Michigan whom you were elected to represent AND DEFEND, in a convention where the primary actors have been directly connected to terrorism and the funding of terrorist organizations?

Let me also be direct in my response to that question:  YOU HAVE NO BUSINESS PARTICIPATING IN THAT CONVENTION.

The stated goal of Hamas, ISIS, and other islamic terrorist organization is clear - to destroy the United States and Israel.  As Governor of Michigan, as required by the Constitution of Michigan, you took the following Oath of Office:

 "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the constitution of this state, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of Governor according to the best of my ability."

Explain to us, sir, how participation in a convention with those who have sworn to strive for our destruction is defending the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Michigan.  I submit that there is no acceptable explanation.  Your participation, in fact, constitutes a violation of that oath of office.

I am writing to urge you to remove yourself from participation.  

Sincerely,

Full Text Of The Email Sent By ISIS To The Parents Of James Foley...

Before killing James Foley, ISIS sent the following email to his parents:

"HOW LONG WILL THE SHEEP FOLLOW THE BLIND SHEPPARD?

A message to the American government and their sheep like citizens:

We have left you alone since your disgraceful defeat in Iraq. We did not interfere in your country or attack your citizens while they were safe in their homes despite our capability to do so!

As for the scum of your society who are held prisoner by us, THEY DARED TO ENTER THE LION’S DEN AND WHERE EATEN!

You were given many chances to negotiate the release of your people via cash transactions as other governments have accepted,

We have also offered prisoner exchanges to free the Muslims currently in your detention like our sister Dr Afia Sidiqqi, however you proved very quickly to us that this is NOT what you are interested in.

You have no motivation to deal with the Muslims except with the language of force, a language you were given in “Arabic translation” when you attempted to occupy the land of Iraq!

Now you return to bomb the Muslims of Iraq once again, this time resorting to Arial attacks and “proxy armies”, all the while cowardly shying away from a face-to-face confrontation!

Today our swords are unsheathed towards you, GOVERNMENT AND CITIZENS ALIKE! AND WE WILL NOT STOP UNTILL WE QUENCH OUR THIRST FOR YOUR BLOOD.

You do not spare our weak, elderly, women or children so we will NOT spare yours!
You and your citizens will pay the price of your bombings!

The first of which being the blood of the American citizen, James Foley!

He will be executed as a DIRECT result of your transgressions towards us!"

text of ISIS email sent to Foley family

They still claim that they defeated us in Iraq, and they have stated their thirst for our blood.

Anyone who still believes this is a group with which we can negotiate is seriously deluded.

To the citizen militia, which, according to the original definition includes all able bodied males between the ages of 17 - 60, I say, it is time to prepare.  They threaten to bring war to our cities.

This is one of the reasons for which the citizen militia exists.  As Albert Gallatin observed, "A militia is everywhere; whereas a standing army may be very distant from any attack which may take place."

We will be on the front lines should they choose to make good on their threat.

ISIS To The United States: "Our Appointment In New York"

They will discover something.  Even though Yamamoto didn't actually say it, the saying is true:

"You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass."

There are 360 million firearms in the US that will be brought to bear to fight off their attacks. 

And those are just the civilian-owned firearms.

The severity of what is happening under the domination of the world's newest caliphate must be exposed.  While eyes are being held on Gaza, muslim extremists in Iraq and Syria are carrying out the systematic extermination of Christians.  The following video, which should NOT be watched by minors, was posted on military.com.  There is no audio, and it is 9-1/2 minutes long.  It is the public beheading of individuals who are Christians.  If you watch the video, you will see that they aren't using swords to do the beheading in one strike, they are using small knives and literally hacking the heads off Christians.  They are beheading men, women, children, even babies.  Other photos emerging from the area show mass crucifixions of Christians.

I have posted the following before, and I will continue doing so.

One of the chief advisors to the president on the Homeland Security Advisory Council is one Muhamed Elibiary.  He has pushed for official recognition of ISIS, called any failure to do so, "discriminatory."  He is known for his tweets characterizing the US as a "muslim nation" with an "islamic compliant constitution."  THIS is the group with which he says we should be establishing diplomatic and economic ties.  The man deserves to be prosecuted for treason, but instead, he has been protected and promoted to a position as senior fellow on the advisory committee.

Father - protect and strengthen your children undergoing persecution for their faith.  And may your judgement against those who do - and SUPPORT - such things be swift.

al Qaeda The JV? Tell Us Again, Mr. President….

With al Qaeda troops re-taking cities in Iraq and intending to march on Baghdad (al Qaeda pushing towards Baghdad), tell us again, Mr. President, how they are the JV and can be written off without a second thought (Obama-they're the JV).

And while we're at it, tell us again how the release of five taliban leaders represents no threat to us when the guy spearheading the drive to Baghdad was also caught by American troops, a prisoner for two years, and then ordered released by your administration.  All credible intelligence experts believe he will turn Iraq into the next Afghani safe haven for terrorists - and the US will be at the top of his hit list.

Let's face it, Mr. President, your foreign policy has come apart at the seams, your attempts to prove that islam is our friend has been disproved so many times that only someone with a distinct agenda could still believe it, and you have set up our country to lose more citizen lives at the hands of these madmen and their supporters than any president who preceded you - and that includes Jimmy Carter, who single handedly set the stage for the whole islamic revolution by throwing the Shah of Iran under the bus under the misguided notion that the ayatollah Khomeini was a "holy man" with whom he could work (Islamic revolution a Jimmy Carter legacy).  You have effectively re-energized the islamic revolution, and they are coming back with a ferocity that will be unparalleled in recent history.

By all objective standards, your foreign policy is an abject failure - but then, it's just one of several now, isn't it?
