Stop Apologizing to Islam - Quran controversy brings to fore the question "Are we at war with Islam?" This
message from Barbara J Stock applies equally well to any part of the globe. She is mentioning very clearly and forcefully
that
Apologizing to Islam will not solve anything.
 What has set off the latest round of
breast-beating and begging for
Islamic forgiveness? Allegedly, the Quran was urinated on, or placed on
a toilet or something.. But Islam was not outraged as Saddam Hussain slaughtered his people.
Islam was not outraged as the Taliban executed women for any number
of imagined sins. Islam is silent as Iran stones 13-year-old girls to
death. Islam is not outraged as thousands of young women die at the
hands of their own families in brutal honor killings. Islam says nothing
as its terrorist heroes butcher Iraqi Muslims on a daily basis. Photo creditsPlanet,nl ______________________________________
We have been doing this for centuries in India and all the acts of slaughtering,
burning of our religious books, idols, temples, universities etc. by
Islamists are forgotten and their imagined grievances are always in the
front page news.
She writes:
We Americans need to get our priorities straight. We are at war with
Islam. I want President Bush, Secretary Rice, the media, and the
bleeding-heart liberals to stop apologizing to Islam and I want it to stop
right now. Islamists are slaughtering people all over the world. Islam
has threatened to make our streets "run red with American blood." A
Saudi Islamic cleric gave bin Laden permission to detonate a nuke in a
major American city. Enough already!
What has set off the latest round of breast-beating and begging for
Islamic forgiveness? Allegedly, the Quran was urinated on, or placed on
a toilet or something. Newsweek couldn't wait to report this non-story
knowing it would trigger anti-American riots and give the Islamic
propaganda machine fodder for weeks to come. In fact, if Islam has
any pattern, people will die because of these still unproven allegations.
Once again, the sins of Islamists will be on the back page as we
Americans scramble to be forgiven by Islam.
Look for more kidnappings that will be followed by the obligatory
beheadings of innocent people so that "Islamic honor" can be restored.
As we have all learned, only the death of someone not even remotely
involved in whatever it is Islamists are enraged about, restores
Islam's "honor." These beheadings will be video taped and gleefully
shown on Al Jazeera every five minutes. In fact, four Afghani men have
already died because of that report. Good job, Newsweek.
What has happened to this country? Four months after the attack on
Pearl Harbor, Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle and his raiders launched an attack
on mainland Japan . That raid had one purpose and one purpose only:
To humiliate the Japanese and let them clearly know they had picked a
fight with the wrong dog. Did Franklin Delano Roosevelt "apologize" for
the attack? Of course not! He approved the raid.
On December 7, 1941, 2,403 men died at Pearl Harbor . On
September 11, 2001, 2,948 people died with 48 still missing and
presumed dead for a total of 2,996 on American soil. Pearl Harbor was
at least a military target. The World Trade Center was not.
Now we are at war again. This time with an enemy that has no
borders, no country, no government, and no recognizable army. Islam
is an enemy that does not hesitate to kill innocent civilians. In fact,
Islam prefers civilians because it fears our military. It's much cheaper
and easier to kill a child than a Marine.
Islam was not outraged as Saddam Hussain slaughtered his people.
Islam was not outraged as the Taliban executed women for any number
of imagined sins. Islam is silent as Iran stones 13-year-old girls to
death. Islam is not outraged as thousands of young women die at the
hands of their own families in brutal honor killings. Islam says nothing
as its terrorist heroes butcher Iraqi Muslims on a daily basis.
What does it take to make a Muslim angry? Say something bad about
Islam and you can lose your head. Drop the Quran in the dirt and you
will be hanged. In Sudan , a hapless man named Mohamed Taha
Mohamed Ahmed, dared speculate that Mohammed was not the son of
Abdullah and is now on trial for blasphemy and he will probably be
hanged. Mobs of foaming-at-the-mouth Muslims gather outside the
courthouse demanding he be torn to bits for even thinking such a thing.
Put women's underwear on a Muslim prisoner's head and Islamists
lose total control and riot in the streets outraged at the barbaric
treatment of their "soldiers." Islamic terrorists do not uphold a single
word of the Geneva Convention. They beat, torture, and behead our
prisoners, many of whom are not even soldiers. They desecrate bodies
by burning them and hanging them from bridges, but touch that Quran
and Islam loses its collective mind.
We are apologizing to these people?
Perhaps Americans need some reminders of some of the crimes that
Islam has committed against America . It is in the name of Islam these
attacks have been carried out and I hold Islam responsible because it is
Islam that has raised these terrorists to hero status.
On the orders of Yassar Arafat the American embassy was attacked in
March of 1973 and two diplomats were killed and others were held
hostage. Arafat demanded the freedom of fellow Muslim Sirhan Sirhan,
in prison for killing Robert Kennedy.
A few months later, in Athens , three Americans were killed and 55
injured as Islamic terrorists threw grenades and machine-gunned
civilians waiting for a flight to New York .
In 1983, 17 Americans died when Islamists blew up a car in front of
the embassy in Lebanon . Four more Americans died when the
American embassy in Kuwait was attacked that same year.
Returning to the American embassy in Lebanon in 1984, 24 more
Americans died when yet another car bomb went off outside the
embassy.
The year 1985 brought death to five Americans in Rome with 74
wounded in an Islamic attack at the airport. Also in 1985, Americans
got their first glimpse into the soul of the enemy when Islamic terrorists
took over the cruise ship Achilles Lauro and shot a crippled American
Jew in a wheelchair, Leon Klinghoffer, and then pushed him overboard.
In May, 1987, the U.S.S. Stark was attacked by an Iraqi fighter plane
and 37 American sailors died.
Libya blew up a Pan Am flight over Scotland killing 189 Americans on
their way home for Christmas.
Eighteen American soldiers died in Somalia in 1993 and six Americans
died in the first World Trade Center bombing with over a thousand
injured.
At 9:03 on the morning of April 19, 1995, a Ryder truck blew up in
front of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City . On that spring
day 168 people died—many of them small children. This classic Islamic
attack was quickly blamed on two "home-grown" terrorists. This case is
in the process of being re-examined due to overwhelming evidence that
al Qaeda and possibly Saddam Hussain were involved.
In 1996, 19 Americans died when Islamists blew up the Khobar
Towers in Saudi Arabia . Also in 1996 there was the mysterious
downing of TWA Flight 800. There were 169 Americans on board.
August 7, 1997 was the last day on earth for 23 Americans who were
at the American embassies in Tanzania and Kenya .
The year 2000 brought the attack on the U.S.S. Cole that killed 17
American sailors.
This, of course, brings us to the attack on September 11, 2001.
There have been many more attacks leading up to that horrible day and
not once has Islam apologized.
I hear, "We don't want to sink to the Islamists' level." I don't want to
hear that any more either. There is absolutely no comparison to be
made. Islamic prisoners are fed, clothed, and allowed to practice the
very religion that has sworn to kill us all. I don't hear any Islamic
outrage over the hostage beheadings or Iraqi children being targeted by
Islamic butchers. I didn't hear a peep of anger when a British imam
said children were legitimate targets for Islam.
Islam seems to have no limit to the evil it will inflict on others.
Because of this, Islam has lost all rights to protest an imagined injustice
inflicted on it.
