The Not So Hard To Understand Truth About Radical Islam

By Semperpapa

It is not really that hard to see the light about radical Islam and its goal. Even the blinded, feel good, utopia lovers on the Left should have enough brain cells left to see what we are witnessing in Arab countries these days.

As it has been mentioned in so many venues, the unrest in Tunisia and Egypt, the rumbling in Jordan and the turn of events in Lebanon are a testimony to a wide spread push on the part of militant Islam toward pre-positioning for the takeover of entire society and the formation of Sharia controlled nations.

The truth is that the misconceptions about Islam are wide spread, even if the real aspects of it are as out in the open as they could be.

Islam is a socio-political, economic and military ideology masqueraded as a religious current.

There are surely millions of Muslims who are simply following the religious concepts of Islam, refraining from the urge of imposing their beliefs upon others.

But there are those who see their goal to be Islam as a conquering current that will at some point dominate every country in the world.

The disturbing part for this writer is the developments seen in the last two years.

Since radical Islam has been in an open war against the West in the 1970s and 80s, the operators of that war were labeled as terrorists, enemies of freedom and civility lurking in the dark corners of their cowardly acts against innocent civilians.

These terrorists have been fought covertly and overtly by every civilized society, still the Islamic rats have been proliferating and undermining entire societies for decades.

What is disturbing to see is that from one day to the next, in January 2009, these terrorist, these Islamic radical terrorists, have ceased to be such and within two years, as we are witnessing the reaction of the White House to the events in Egypt, they have become mainstream political realities.

We are witnessing individuals openly supporting the ideologies of the enemies of America in our very own universities, not compelled to hide their enthusiasm for terror groups like Hamas and Hesbollah any longer.

The administration has been quick to demonstrate its support for the public uprising in Egypt, including the acceptance of a group like the Muslim Brotherhood which has been working extensively on bringing their style of Islam to the United States for the last 90 years, and yet the administration remained silent when pro-democracy demonstrations occurred in Iran.

All indications are that the current president is inclined to, in the very least, be accepting of radical Islam. Too many factors point at this conclusion. He even wrote that he would side with Muslims if things turned ugly. And with the posturing about Iran in 2009 and Egypt today, Obama is remaining true to his words.

The almost amusing part of all this is the actions of the Left. We have Obama’s cheerleaders like Anderson Cooper being punched in Egypt; Katie Couric being swarmed by protesters; and we see members of Code Pink showing up in the street of Cairo in support of the overthrow of that government. The amusing part is that a victory for the forces of radical Islam would immediately translate into a total persecution of those who are today supporting them just to sing the praises of their president.

Here in the United States we still have the chance to let our votes speak for us. It is my hope that that chance will remain long enough to insure that this president will be fired in November 2012.

And it is also my hope that the damages made nationally and internationally by a political leadership bent on radicalize our country will not be severe enough to demand a large blood sacrifice on the part of our citizenry.

Just my thoughts!
