Soap Box

Even though President Obama won't admit it, an overwhelming amount of terrorist acts around the world are carried out in the name of Allah by terrorists claiming to be followers of Mohammed, a fact the president cannot dispute.

And Mr. President, while it is a well acknowledged fact that all Muslims are not terrorists, it does not refute another well acknowledged fact that almost all terrorists are Muslims, leading one to believe that the Islamic faith and the teachings of the Koran and the Hadith, somehow play a major role in the birthing, development and deployment of terror.

The world knows that Iran, yes, the very same Iran you're trying to make an ill-advised deal with, is the biggest exporter of terrorism on the planet and you don't have to look any farther than their Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, to know the religion they follow.

Do all the people of Iran want to destroy Israel and America?

No.

Do the guys with the weapons in Iran want to destroy Israel and America?

Yes.

Is terror against America not taught and encouraged in many mosques in nations around the world, including some in our own?

Was not every major terrorist act carried out in the United States in the last quarter century - with the exception of Oklahoma City - not carried out in the name of the Islamist�s cause?

Do the terrorists who are brought to trial not profess Islam and contend that the acts of murder and mayhem they carried out were done to conquer the world for Islam?

So despite the sorry fact that for reasons that are beyond the comprehension of most Americans, our president refuses to acknowledge the enemy that is trying to destroy America and American interests around the world, the battle goes on while our government agencies slow walk and wear velvet gloves any time they are faced with the possibility of stepping on Muslim toes. 

Using a little cowboy logic here, to find the guilty you must go to the places where the guilty hide
even when it's among the innocent.

Once again, we constantly hear the phrase, "all Muslims are not terrorists", and of course that is a true statement. However, it seems that while all Muslims are not terrorists that many Muslims are willing to knowingly harbor terrorists, allowing them safe haven before and after their acts of terrorism.

Now, I know there is a fear factor involved, that there is no mercy among terrorists and they would not hesitate to destroy a whole blood line to punish anyone who would dare betray them.

But I think there is something deeper going on here, something that transcends generations and even nationality and family ties. Something ancient, something inherited and passed down, something that possibly, according to Islamic teachings, threatens the very heart of a Muslim.

A religious form of omert�, a code of silence that places the Islamic teachings above everything else in the beliefs of a Muslim, that the giving up of a brother, no matter how satanic and cruel his acts would be a betrayal of Islam.

It creates a conundrum and requires a hard decision, the safety of the people of the United States of America versus the feelings of the some in the Muslim community who reap the benefits of being an American but are not willing to identify those among them, who would like nothing better than destroy the nation that gave them a home.

These "good Muslims" may not wear suicide vests and go out on the streets with guns, they may not fly planes into buildings or blow up trains, but the blood of innocent people is still on the hands of those Muslims who protect those who do.

They rule by fear, control with violence and exist by the silence of good people.

What do you think?

Pray for our troops and the peace of Jerusalem.

God Bless America
