Are American Muslims 'With Us, Or Against Us?'
By Gordon Bishop (08/28/06)
If American Muslims who are citizens of the United States do not reject the actions of the radical Muslim terrorists, then they should be held accountable for their position on the global war on terror.
Several months ago, I called on all the clerics of the Muslim mosques in America to attend a “Summit” in Washington, D.C., our nation’s capital, to see what their position is on the global war on terror.
No surprise that they rejected that offer. The liberal mainstream media tells us over and over again that the war on terror, now in its second phase in Iraq, is illegal and anti-American because this global war was not approved by the liberal-socialist-Marxist United Nations.
I’ve also written that the anti-America United Nations should be shut down and moved to France, Germany or Russia, where UN officials have much more in common with their socialist governments than the more conservative United States and its moderately conservative government.
The war on terror is a war of idologies: Judeo-Christian Western Civilization and Islamofascists. These two ideologies live in two different worlds.
Citizens of Western Civilization do not decapitate their enemies or blow themselves and their own mosques to smithereens all in the name “Allah.”
Yes, the world today lives in two different worlds. There is no common ground between the two ideologies. Citizens of Western Civilization do not go around blowing themselves up in order to kill innocent children, women and men. Terrorists don’t wear uniforms. They represent no nation-state. They represent an ideology based on the death of all Jews, Christians and infidels. Americans are classified as infidels.
So where do we go from there?
We must fight the enemy or the enemy will destroy some two billion human beings.
The reasonable, rational, common sense way of dealing with terrorists is to treat them like terrorists by killing them before they kill us.
And we can begin with some American citizens themselves. Why should American Muslims who are American citizens be given a pass in the global war on terror?
Why? Because they are allowed to get away with this because they know how to use America’s Constitutional First Amendment: Freedom of speech.
After 9/11, when some 3,000 innocent civilians were killed by terrorists at the World Trade Center, Muslims in Jersey City, Paterson, Newark and Trenton were dancing in the streets, according to media coverage of the 9/11 event. It was a spontaneous display of hatred against America.
How can the media and our government ignore that kind of behavior in the public streets of New Jersey’s largest cities?
Where are our elected politicians when patriotic Americans need them?
In today’s politically-correct America, you shouldn’t reprimand that kind of insidious behavior or you’re immediately guilty of a “hate” crime. Or a “racist” or other easy, warped slogans the PC-crowd throws out at those who are not in lock-step with their putrid PC agenda.
We are losing America to the politically-correct, gutless soulless wimps who would rather protest or leave the country, rather than stand up and fight the enemies of America.
The day after the terrorists attack on America’s institutions, President Bush stood on the smoking rubble of the World Trade Center Twin Towers and told the world, “You’re either with us, or against us.”
No one could have put this first terrorist attack on America into a more exacting, seven-word declaration of war. At that moment, George W. Bush became a statesman as large as England’s World War II Prime Minister Winston Churchill, or our own Thomas Jefferson and his “Declaration of Independence” in 1776, which gave birth to a new nation – The United States of America.
No matter that Bush has kept America safe since September 11, 2001, the liberal mainstream media and their political cohorts continue their anti-America war against the President and the real enemies of America.
It’s time that all Americans stand up and be counted: “Are they with us, or against us.” They should sign an official document putting their names on a paper, with certified witnesses, as to where they stand in the global war on terror.
Alas, the PC gang would immediately brand that “un-American” and the ACLU would file a lawsuit in their behalf. The ACLU went from the self-serving American Civil Liberties Union” to the un-American Criminal Liberties Union.
As a syndicated columnist, author and historian, I am surrounded by George Bush haters in New Jersey and elsewhere. I just happen to live in a metropolitan belt of Bush haters between Boston and Washington.
Surviving in this hyper-socialist environment is the challenge of my life.
