Intro

It's time for a reality check ...

Maybe we’ve reached the point of diminishing astonishment.

But I suspect that much of what we’re hammered with every day really doesn’t make much of an impact on most of us anymore. We’ve heard the same stories too often. We’ve been exposed to the same issues for so long without any meaningful resolution. We recognize that reality is rapidly becoming malleable, primarily in the hands of whoever has the biggest microphone. How else can we explain a society where myth asserts itself as reality, based entirely how many hits it gets online?

We know that many of the “issues” as defined are pure crapola, hyped by politicians on both sides pandering to “the will of the people,” which is still more crapola. Inevitably, it’s not the will of all the people they reflect, but the will of relatively small groups of people with disproportionate political influence.

Nobody wants to face up to the realities of the issues. Nobody wants to say what’s right or wrong – even when it’s obvious and there are numbers to back it up. Most of us are afraid to bring up the realities for fear of being accused of being insensitive or downright mean.

So we say nothing. Until now.

It’s time for a reality check on the fundamentals – much of which is common knowledge to many of us, already. But it might be comforting to know you are not alone …

We will never be able to co-exist with the radical Islamists

It’s naïve to think there’s any possible way for us to come to terms with these fanatics.  Anyone who thinks we can simply does not understand the situation. 

It’s a waste of time to even try.  Obama should know this.  So should Hillary Clinton.  So should all those “love thy neighbor” bleeding hearts who think otherwise. 

The radical Islamists hate us.  They hate everything about us.  They revile everything we treasure – especially our freedoms embodied in the First Amendment.  They think our culture is inherently immoral, pernicious and must be destroyed before it infects the world further. 

They also hate the Jews.  They want Israel wiped off the face of the earth.  They despise all other religions – and sects – but theirs.  That’s why radical Islamist Sunnis and radical Islamist Shi’a Muslims have no problem killing each other. 

Everyone who doesn’t believe exactly what they believe is an infidel, and according to their interpretation of the Koran infidels may be slaughtered like sheep. 

In short, they hate everyone and everything that is not them.  And they see no moral obstacle to killing infidels – be they men, women or children – because they believe the Koran encourages them to kill infidels.  The same Koran also instructs them that to die in defense of their religion is immediately rewarded with a shortcut to their heaven where the men will have 72 virgins awaiting them.  That’s why radical Islamists have no problem strapping on a bomb and blowing up others. 

So much for Islam being a religion of peace.  Or at least their interpretation of it. 

And we think we can reason with them? 

That’s impossible.  They want to kill us all.  They want to take civilization back to the 7th century.  They want Sharia – which is not only a system of laws and rules, but also a form of theocratic government – to replace all other forms of government, especially democracy.

Forget liberties.  Forget freedom of expression.  Freedom of the press.  And especially freedom of religion.  Where we have an amendment to the Constitution that protects all these, and specifically prohibits the establishment of a state religion, they want a state religion that governs all. 

While we waste our time debating whether free contraceptives and unfettered abortions are essential women’s rights, they would wipe out all the rights we’ve fought to achieve over the past couple of centuries.  And if you think our current justice system is tough, just read up on Sharia law. 

There’s simply no reasoning with these fanatics. 

They think it’s God’s will to take any offence to the Prophet – no matter how slight – as an attack on all Muslims that needs to be met with violence.  Like a death sentence for a cartoon.  Or a fatwa calling for a death sentence for an unflattering book.  Or a death sentence – since rescinded after global outrage – for a Muslim woman who converted to Christianity

Or as just happened, that a stupid half-assed movie almost no one will ever see apparently warrants the killing of U.S. diplomats and embassy personnel, the torching of other U.S. embassies, and thousands in the streets calling for the death of America. 

Oh, friends of mine may say that they are but a lunatic fringe; the majority of Muslims in the world are peaceful, good people.  Our current President says stuff like that, too.  It may be true that there are many Muslims, here and abroad, that don’t agree with the radical Islamists. 

My question is – where the Hell are they?  Why aren’t they  leading the charge to stop these monsters in their own faith?  Why aren’t they speaking out?  Why aren’t they as outraged as the rest of us are? 

There are about 1.5 billion Muslims in the world.  Why are they silent? 

Others say that there are radical Christians as well, no better and no worse than the radical Islamists.  Yeah, maybe, but you don’t hear them calling for the death of all non-Christians, do you?  You don’t hear about Christians slaughtering Muslims, as when the Muslim Brotherhood took over in Egypt – with our President’s support – and Muslims started slaughtering Coptic Christians.   

Look, this isn’t solely a Christian/Muslim conflict … it’s radical Islamists vs. modern civilization and all other religions.  They just as eagerly destroyed centuries-old statues of Buddha as they did the Twin Towers.  There’s absolutely nothing they won’t do, and no one who is safe from their wrath. 

So what should we do? 

Well, first, we can stop pretending.  There’s no peaceful solution. 

They behead aid workers and civilian contractors trying to help them.  They destroy schools we build to educate their children.  They burn books.  They slaughter innocents.   Only the Mongol hordes under Genghis Khan can match them for wanton disregard for humanity. 

They are barbarians, attacking our civilization and scorching the earth whenever they can. 

Yes, there may be nice Muslims in the world, but these aren’t nice Muslims.  These are monsters.  They want to force an Armageddon where they believe it has been prophesied the faithful will vanquish the infidels and the world will have peace under the laws and teachings of Mohammed. 

We cannot negotiate with them, any more than you can negotiate with a rabid dog.  We need to put them down before they do any more damage. 

It’s our modern civilization vs. their vision of civilization. There’s no middle ground.  No room for compromise.  We need to just stop blowing smoke up everyone’s skirts that somehow, some way, we can be so nice and so conciliatory that we can win their hearts and minds. 

Not going to happen.  Ever. 

We need to kill them. Wherever they are.  Whoever they are.  No matter who their friends or allies are.  And we need to do it with no mercy.  We especially need to do it before they get their hands on a nuke, which is what they really want.  If we don’t do it soon, they will have a nuke – we all know that. 

So we need to issue our own fatwa.  Death to these lunatics.  These barbarians.  And make it public, so the whole world knows what we intend to do.  It’s that simple. 

If that pisses off the rest of the world, so be it. 

We have to look out for ourselves.
