TERRORISTS' 'JIHAD' MAKES NO NATION SAFE
By Gordon Bishop (01/15/07)
After the 9/11 terrorists attacks on America, leaving some 3,000 innocent men, women and children dead, the world finally realized that if a global “superpower” is not safe, then no country can be safe from these mass murderers.
Consider the inter-connectedness of the following incidents (cited by Don Feder of FrontPage Magazine.com), all of which took place in the past few months:
· In Indonesia, three Christian schoolgirls were beheaded.
· In Iraq, a Syrian Orthodox priest was kidnapped, tortured and murdered.
· In Somalia, a nun was shot to death as she left the hospital where she worked, tending the sick and dying.
· In Lebanon, just weeks ago, a cabinet minister was assassinated.
· In Britain, authorities uncovered a conspiracy in which native-born Muslim Brits plotted to blow up several trans-Atlantic flights, attempting to kill as many as 3,000 passengers.
· In Afghanistan, suicide bombers are at work again.
· In Iraq, they never stopped. Additionally, a few weeks ago a group of worshippers were abducted from a mosque, doused with gasoline and burned to death in what’s described as “sectarian violence.”
· In France, a high school philosophy teacher is in hiding after very credible death threats following publication of a September 19th commentary in Le Figaro.
· Some 139 people died in riots in Nigeria, Libya, Pakistan and Afghanistan – following the publication of Danish cartoons.
· Europe is experiencing the worst wave of anti-Semitic violence since Hitler’s Kristallnacht. The former director of the U.S. Holocaust Museum reports there an average of 12 assaults a day on Jews in Paris.
· In Kosovo, 90 percent of Serbs gave been ethnically cleansed from the province since 1999. The rest live I a state of siege.
· In Mumbai, India, a series of blasts killed almost 200.
· In Gaza, terrorists recently celebrated the latest “ceasefire” by raining more rockets on southern Israel.
· And the leader of more than a billion Catholics (the Pope) received death threats and demands that he convert (to Islam) after giving a speech in which he called for a balance of fair and reason, and quoted a 14th Century Byzantine emperor.
Remember, all Muslims are not terrorists. But almost all terrorists are Muslims.
When will America wake up and declare a global war on terror?
When terrorists attack another American landmark like the World Trade Center’s twin towers?
