SATANIC SURPRISE

 

 

Suddenly, on the 11 of September 2001:

 

1)    Two large airplanes are hijacked by Muslim terrorists and driven like rockets, but with a living innocent human cargo inside, in an explosive suicidal hit against the World Trade Center twin towers in New York City, N.Y.                                                                     

At 8:30: American Airlines Flight 11 out of Boston, Ma., a Boeing 767, with 81 passengers and 11 crew aboard. All died.
At 9.03 a.m.: United Airlines Flight 175 from Boston, Ma., with 56 passengers and 9 crew aboard. All died.

                                                                                                                                                                                         

The gigantic twin skyscrapers collapsed upon impact and consequent melting inferno from the exploding thousands of gallons of burning high-power airplane fuel.

Several nearby buildings and structures were damaged or demolished by the attack.

The enormous direct and collateral damages and the massacre of almost 3,000 people were too horrible to describe.

 

2)    At 9.43 a.m., one large airplane was hijacked and hurled like a rocket by Muslim terrorists (American Airlines Flight 77, also full of innocent passengers), in an explosive suicidal hit against the Pentagon building in Washington, DC. 189 died.

 

3)    Shortly thereafter, another hijacked plane, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed in Somerset County, Pa., as a result of a mortal fight between Muslim hijackers and the heroic passengers. 44 died.

 

The Saudi Arabian terrorist Osama Bin Laden and his Al-Qaeda terrorist network were the dec lared planners, organizers and per petrators.

 

Only the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki caused more death and destruction in one attack.

In those cases, however, there was a declared and openly fought war, whereas the suicide attack against the New York World Trade Center was unsuspected, treacherous, cowardly, in peace time, by hidden Arabian Muslim perpetrators, trained, financed, armed and supported by Arab Muslim nations and organizations.

The above terrorist attack was not less than satanic in its evil, cowardice and infernal obscenity: launching four enormous missiles loaded with innocent living human persons to explode with thousands of gallons of high power jet fuel…

 

Muslim sympathizers danced joyously in the streets of their Musli m cities worldwide to celebrate the event…

They w ere all Muslims. Like all the terrorists on those airplanes. The terrori sts were all Arab Muslims.

 

THE INCREDIBLY OBVIOUS

 

The above massacre would have been virtually impossible if we had a national IDENTITY CARD for everyone, with not only na me, age, address, but all the pertinent information now commonly available w ith the driver license, social security, credit card and other routine identification d ocuments.

Add to it citizenship status, residence permit and similar information already customary in most civilized free countries, plus whatever the still alive American ingenuity can in clude.

 

Its incredible advantages would be decisive, at insignificant "freedom sacrifice", if any.

 

With today's light-speed, ubiquitously integrated, computerized information exchange, instant information about illegal alien status, crim inal activity, and whatever may focus on serious undesirability or propensity to feared activity, all can be combined and selected by central agencies without limiting personal liberty of law abiding citizens.

Hardly any subject could be more simultaneously challenging, promising and liberating for the common benefit, and still compatible with personal freedom.

It could be formulated without limits as to the creativity of methods that can satisfy our safety and freedom at the same time.

 

We don't have such a vitally necessary convenience only because our worship of liberty has become a distorted political fetish.

Let's not wait any longer to adopt the American-style IDENTITY CARD system and implement it before other and worse u navoidable massacres take place.

The only limit is unwillingness to do i t, and it may cost not only millions of American lives, but, even more important, a permanent deterioration of life, culture, morality and general welfare in the whole world.
One satanic hindrance against the above mentioned identity remady are the American lawyers. Their obyuse opposition to the identity card and related measures may well be a cancerous growth against the American survival. Just as effective as the their rampant destruction of the American family wirh the "no fault divorce" and corollary measures

and legislation.

Let's hope that it is not yet too late to save the American family and nation...

 

 

THE ANTECEDENTS

 

On the 20th of November, 1979, about 500 fanatic Islamists occupied the largest and holiest Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia (the holiest of all Muslim sanctuaries which all Muslims hope to visit in pilgrimage -to worship Allah- at least once in their lifetime) and captured 6000 pilgrims as hostages. They were fought by the defenders of the Mosque for two weeks and finally defeated. Several hundreds of the Muslim pilgrims were massacred, and 63 Islamist rebels were captured and decapitated.

Apparently, no other incident hurt the prestige and the power of the Saudi Arabian monarchy more, whose survival rested p rimarily on their c ustody of the holiest of all Muslim temples in Mecca, the geographic, political and religious c enter of the Muslim world.

The rebels were members of the most puritanical and intransigent sect of I slam, Wahhabism, for which the very existence of the Western World and Saudi involvement with it (through oil economy and other interests) was a Satanic offence to Islam.

T he only way the Saudi monarchy could survive was to offer l avish financial support to all influential Islamist fundamentalists who demanded it, in exchange of sparing Saudi Arabia and its ruling classes.

Billions upon billions of dollars were continuously donated (upon terrorist extortion) to the Wahabists, who used it to build and spawn the famous "madrassah" schools to indoctrinate youth into anti Western fanaticism and suicide terrorism, c onsequent support for al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden,  Palestinian terrorists, their allied and the very intricate interconnected interests. Very prominent among the last were the interconn ected interests of the American and Saudi Arabian and consequent mutual protectio n.

 

Ultimately, USA -as well as most "First W o rld" countries, Saudi Arabia and other petroleum based plutocracies were hopelessly united in mutual protection against the enormously populous Muslims, whose power rested almost exclusively in "Lumpenreligion" (raggedy religion), in t he hands of a clergy that had learned the incredibly e ffectiveness of the belief in eternal sexual reward after a simple suicide in the name of Allah...

That was only possible in a world in which the power of such clerics was so per vasive that the populace had no other source of informatio n about the truth.

That was the fanatic atmospher e that the  Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini (Iran’s Islamic hi ghest priest) took advantage of in seizing power in Iran and becoming suddenly world famous for transforming Iran into an absolutistic Islamic theocracy.

In this, he was unwittingly but decisively helped by the American president Jimmy Carter.

(A few years later, president Clinton's initiatives caused thousands of Islamists to intervene and establish themselves as an anti-European and anti-Christian cancer in the European Balkan peninsula).

 

Incidental ly, that situation impacted my awareness directly in a remarkable episode.

Shortly after the Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran ordered th e worldwide death sentence f or Muslims to kill the Indian writer Salman Rushdie (then in London, U.K.) for having published the Islamically irreverent novel “The Satanic Verses” in 1989, I was about to hire a brilliant PhD. chemist from India, for my research dept..
When he told me that he was an Ayatollah Khomeini’s Muslim follower, I asked him whether he would kill Rushdie, if ordered by the Ayatollah.

He responded evasively: “This question has been answered, because the order has been rescinded” (not true).

“You are a scientist - I said - Would you consider such a response as valid for a scientific or any other direct question?”

His reply hid the obvious: “The question you posed was theological, not scientific”.
Incongruous, incorrect and at least philosophically devious, but there was no point to insisting for a clear answer.

 

I didn’t hire him, because h is twisted “theology” had contaminated his scientific and human integrity.
Neither scientific, nor moral integrity can tolerate su ch pious hypocrisy.
 

That epito mizes the present dilemma of Islamic an d other cultures since the 7th century a. d.: they must face the unavoidable necessity of allowing the genuine d ialectical interplay of reason and faith.

Alternative?

Disarm their cultural world bef ore they do it to us, a s harsh as it may sound, because they are ir revocably committe d to the destructio n of our civilizatio n, even if it means to kill us all. The Kora n command s it..

Do we lac k the self discipline to implement the needed real, enlig htened cultural in teraction?

 

When Christianity and Islam first collided in the Crusades from the 11th to th e 13th centuries, Christianity -not less than Islam- was suffocating reason under faith.

In fact, it had lost its Greek and Roman heritage of philosophy, material/spiritual balance and other cultural manifestations, while Muslim Arabs were active not only in scientific discoveries in mathematics, astronomy, chemistry and humanities in general, but they were also preserving Greek philosophy from oblivion.

 

The best known of Muslim contribution to Western philosophy was the translation and interpretation of Aristotle works by Ibn-Rushd (also known as Averrhoës, 1126-1198 a.d.), which revived the tradition of Greek philosophy and cultural literacy in Europe.

 

Soon there after, Humanism (revival of classical culture and focusing on human rather than only heavenly matters) and subsequent Renaissance in Italy synthesized reason and faith into the multicultural Western Civilization.

That became the European cultural essence, or Western culture and civilization.

 

The new “order” established the creative results of the c ontinuous interplay of reason and faith in a manner similar to what is now known of “checks and balances”, so that neither eliminated the other from the continuous contest.

Indeed, the living and continuously debating symbiosis of reason and faith epitomizes the Western culture before and after Socialism/Communism.

 

When “reason” or “science” obliterated faith or equivalent restraints between the 18th and 20th centuries, as in the French Revolution (with murderous terror and altars to the short lived “Goddess Reason”), in the Russian Soviet regime and international Socialism (with institutionalized atheistic communism and slaughters of about a hundred million dissidents), the results were pervasively barbaric.

 

In the cases of faith obliterating reason, as in the European Dark Ages and -presently- in the fanatic fundamentalist Islamic world (=Islamism), citizens are brainwashed from tender childhood into worshipping a fabricated Allah as a fetish beyond any other perspective, and hating any “infidel” t o death.
That was perfctly coherent with the predatory style of the warring Bedouin t ribes, where Islam was created, developed and implemented.

 

T hat is not new in history, but virulent in its worst expression.

What is emerging now is the modern technology blindly marginalized by Islam’s absolutism. Concurrently, we are attempting to transform our “freedom of religion” into “freedom from religion”).
N either religion, nor reason can make it alone.
E xperience proves it continuously, especially after the A merican public schools have buried history in “Social S tudies”.

 

I n the Islamic world, as well as in China, science was separate from the central culture, in which only r eligion and/or customs were integrally i nstitutionalized. Neither science nor organized knowledge had their own development.

Now, China -not the I slamic world- is apparently attempting to recover its cultural e quilibrium.

In the Western Culture, science has b een institutionalized on the same level as religion.


L eo Strauss, one of the greatest 20th century philosophers, asserts in “Jerusalem and Athens” (1968): “Western man became what he is through the coming t ogether of biblical faith and Greek thought”.

Similarly, by exten sion, the Western Cultu re converges “Cesar and Jesus”, or “reason and faith”.

In other words, the West ern Culture realizes the comp atibility of relentlessly debating and harm onizing science and religion, without elimi nating either.

 

From Aristotle (384-322 b. c.) to Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274 a. d.) and today, it has always been assumed, in the Western C ulture, that nothing can be bad (or false) and good (or true) at t he same time.

The opposite happens in the Islamic tradition, where something can be bad in science, philosophy o r morality, and good in religion simultaneously.

Islam compartmentalizes and keeps science/philosophy/politics separate from, an d subordinate to, religion.

An action may be criminal according to the Koran, but acceptable in non religious matters, or vice versa…
Since the constitution of a truly Muslim c ountry is the Koran, a truly Muslim nation may be imagined as a soc iety run entirely by a Muslim direction that controls eve rything in a Dark Age fashion (worse than a Spanish Inquisition), that also runs all the activities of society, including the army and wars with other nations.

 

The above is the only explanation possible for the otherwise incomprehensible dichotomy between Islamic claimed theology - with prohibition of terrorism, suicide and the heinous de eds of Muslim militants - and the protection or reluctant pro-forma disapproval of the terrorism by the Islamic governments and "mullahs" and other religious officials.

 

Such restrictions and prohibitions, however, apply only within Muslims. The "infidels are not protected...

Many Muslim countries even allow (unofficially or overtly) and protect terrorist organizations and suicide-terrorism training camps in their own territories.

 

At any rate, it is revealing that the prophet

Mohammed ibd Abd Allah, born in Mecca (Saudi Arabia) in about 570 a. d., preached from 613 to his death in 632 a. d., first a few years in his own Quraysh tribe, then throughout what is now Saudi Arabia, which he conquered by the sword, by fighting against the numerous pagan and animistic and tribes wuth other faiths, and uniting them under Islam.

That btought the birth of the Islamic juggernaut.

 

After his death, his successors conquered -as warriors- an enormous territory including all North Africa, Spain, from the Atlantic Ocean eastward, Central and East Africa, extending through the European Balkans, Turkey, the Middle East, Southern Siberia, Iraq, Iran, part of India, Indonesia (now the largest Muslim nation) and other surr ounding areas.

All was conquered with war, and subsequently converted to Islam under the sword.

 

The Koran, Muslim Holy Book, even m ore sacred to the Muslims than the Bible to us, preaches w orship of Allah (the Arab word forGod), peace, tolerance, charity and other virtues also dear to us, but primarily among and within the believers.

The non-believers are to be converted or ultimately annihilated, as the Koran commands.

In some Muslim societies, the "infidels" are temporarily tolerated only if they pay extra taxes.

Contrary to what the Muslim clergy tell us today, hatred, killing t he enemy and i nfidels is encouraged by the fundamentalist Koran interpretations.

The “Jihad”, literally means only “Struggle”, especially internal moral and emotional struggle for self improvement, but it became the most effective designation of the fighting conquests and subjugation of all nations the Islamic armies invaded.

 

The assurances we get from the Islamic clergy that suicide and killing are against the Koran are said to correspond honestly to the written law, but those assurances conceal an implicit permissio n to commit suicide as “martyrs” for the cause of Allah and to “kill the enemy” (that is: any infidel), which the Koran advocates relentlessly.
 

Examples:

`- Koran, chapter V, verse 33-34  :  "The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His Prophet  and perpetrate corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land"

- Koran, chapter V, verse 51  :  "O believers, do not hold Jews and Christians as your allies. They are allies of one another; and anyone who makes them hi s friends is surely one of them; and Allah does not guide the unjust."

- Koran, chapter VIII, verse 12  : "And the Lord said to the angels: I am with you. Go and strengthen the faithful. I shall fill the hearts of infidels with terror. So smite them on their necks and every joint."

- Koran, chapter VIII, verse 57  :  "If you meet them in battle, inflict on them su ch a defeat as would be a lesson for those who come after them."

- Koran, chapter VIII, verse 58  :   "Prepare against them whatever army and cavalry you can muster, that you may strike terror in (the hearths of) the enemies of Allah and your own, and others besides them not known to you, but known to Allah."

- Koran, chapter VIII, verse 65  : “O Prophet, urge the believers to fight... So, If there are twenty steadfast men among you, they will beat two hundred, if there are a hundred, they will beat a thousand of the unbelievers, for they are men with no understanding.”

- Koran, chapter IX, verse 5  : "Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wheresover ye find them, and take the captive, or besiege them, and lie in wait for them at every likely place. But if they repent and fulfill their devotional obligations, and pay the zagat (special tax), then let them go their way. Lo! Allah is forgiving and, merciful."

- Koran, chapter VIII, verse 111: "Allah has verily bought the souls and possessions of the faithful in exchange for a promise of Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, and kill and are killed."

- Koran, chapter XLV11, verse 4: "When you crash with the unbelievers, strike off their heads and, when you have laid them down, bind them tight".
==============

Such hostile and ferocious exhortations are spread throughout 114 Koran chapters.

** The often quoted proof that the Koran condemns killing contains its own contradiction: 
- Koran, chapter V, verse 32: "..Whosoever kills a human being, except (as punishment) for murder or for spreading corruption in the land, it shall be like killing all humanity; and whosoever saves a human being, saves the entire humanity".

The con tradictions (or loopholes...) omitted in the official quotations are very clear.

Anything the Moslems don't like can be called "spreading corruption in the land"...

|Islam has no popes, bishops or other authorities to correct or censor false interpretations or excesses. Thus the Islamists cannot be legally or theologically prevented from declaring that anyone they killed was an "infidel" or "spreading corruption in the land"...

The most famous medieval Sunni Islamic scholar Abul al-Hasan al-Mawardi (972-1058 a.d.) stated that Muslims have no other choice than ceaseless war until non-Muslims are totally destroyed or converted: “Although Muslims have been forbidden to withdraw from battle with a foe…they may do so… to have a temporary break”.

Sheikh Mohammed Sayyid Tantawi, of Al-Anzhar University (world's oldest Islamic institution of higher learning, and favorite example by Bush for mirroring the Islamic "religion of peace"), was reported that he "demanded that the Palestinian people of all factions intensify the martyrdom operations (e.g. suicide bombing) against the Zionist enemy..", "...that every martyrdom operation against any Israeli, including children, women and teenagers is a legitimate act according to religious law, and an Islamic commandment, until the people of Palestine regain their land..."

The Koran repeatedly incites the believers to wage eternal bloody war against non-Muslims, until no non-Muslim is left alive or free.
It even suggests that covenants and contracts with "infidels" need not be honored by Muslims.

A Muslim, therefore, is authorized to be treacherous or murderous against any "infidel."
Even the best intentioned Muslim diplomats cannot deny or minimize such facts.

A Muslim can commit any murder if his victims are called “Allah's enemy” or “infidel”, and then he will go to heaven and enjoy eternal sex orgies with the houries (young virgin love girls in heaven for the self-immolated Muslim martyrs).
If he is killed in the process, he becomes a martyr, with the eternally copulating virgin houries and orgasms for ever.

Furthermore, since Islam has no priestly hierarchy, there are no "mullahs", or "ulemas", etc., who can tell a believer whether his interpretation of Allah's law is incorrect.

We know from our own politicians, and other leaders or fanatics, how easy it is to justify the worst actions with the most noble designations.
Christian rules and t heology condemn suicide, killing and hatred, and order us to love the enemy unconditionally. Nevertheless, we had the 11th-13th c entury Crusades, the 1618-48  “Thirty Year War”, witch hunts, and all kinds of massacres in the name of Allah, Bible etc.

The perpetrators were not acting as true Christians, whereas murder and torture against infidels follow the Koran paradigms.

Add to it the Jewish “eye for an eye”, and we all have plenty of sanctification of our worst crimes by the evil side of human nature.

These and other strange similarities are common to Jews and Muslims, but the Jews manage to fit with, and absorb, the Western culture (of which they are now a substantial part), whereas the fundamentalist Muslims remain totally incompatible and hostile toward the Western World, which they are programmed to destroy or convert, without alternatives.

As to the historic relationship of Islam with Christianity, the start was reassuring, because Islam recognizes Abraham, Moses and Jesus as prophets, and the Bible and the New Testament as holy books, albeit not as full-fledged as Mohammed and the Koran.

Christians in Muslim societies were allowed to preserve their own faith, provided they paid a special tax called "jizya" (or "zagat", as in other references) not imposed to the Muslim s.

Often they were encouraged to remain Christian, so that the Muslim administration could keep collecti ng the lucrative non-Muslim tax.  

The Muslim assert that Jesus did not die on the cross, did not rise 3 days aft er death, was not any god’s son or part of any Trinity.

Since the Koran prescribes or controls virtually all of the political, military, legal, public and private activities -including how to dress and eat-, there is hardly anything in the Muslim world that cannot be wrapped and embalmed in theological rationalizations, merits, heroism and holiness. kkk

Therefore, whether we recognize it or not, democratic Western World and Islamism are still irreversibly antithetic.


The assurances by president Bush that we are not at war with Islam and the Muslims are futile, because Islam itself (epitomized by Bin Laden, the Wahhabi,  the al Qaeda, Ayatollah Khomeini, Fundamentalism, or any concurrent version) is in a total destruction war against the West and the worldwide infidels, which started in the seventh century a. d.

 

Unwittingly, and against his evil mind, Osama Bin Laden is helping us and the Moslems to see the present moral/cultural abyss Islam may be sinking in, unless they open their eyes and close the tens of thousands of terrorist schools ("madrassahs" or whatever) they endeavor worldwide to brainwash everyone from childhood on into becoming suicidal terrorists against America, Christianity and the Western World.

 

Then, there is the Israel question.

Some say that getting the USA so deeply involved about the Arab-Jewish struggles could have been justifiable only if we had been not less deeply involved about much worse struggles and heinous massacred still now happening all over the world, from Colombia to the incredible sub-Sahara African genocides.

Others say that since the ethnic similarity of Arabs and Jews (both Semitic races and original cultures) produced similar religious postures of rigid "eye for an eye" and "kill the infidel", "chosen race" and ultimate and uncompromising world domination, they are destined to hate each other without compromise and without end.

 

It is often argued that Israel and USA must go separate paths, for they are sharply different nations.

Furthermore, due to their greatly different sizes and scopes, their being “on equal terms” with each other is so incongruous that it provokes the joke that Israel is the tail that wags the USA dog, and a reason of hostility from the rest of the world.

Some state that USA’s apparently unconditional backing of Israel appears to play brinkmanship with the 3rd world war.

It is also claimed  that creating the Israel state was done with a clumsy diplomacy that ignored the Palestinian rights.

 

We also hear that the “second class” Palestinians citizens have more rights and freedom in Israel than the citizens of most Arab states, let alone the women, who were reduced to become “walking tents” (covered by their "burkas") in the Taliban Afganistan ... On the other hand, we still see many "walking tent" women circulating in Afghanistan after the elimination of the Talibans. Could it be that they have some reasons for  being imagined rather than seen?

 

The pro- and anti-Semitic postures have probably been frozen beyond repair, unless new initiatives materialize the needed goodwill.

If everything else fails, we could still propose total absorption of the Jews talent and genius in the USA or the rest of the world (as many other ethnic groups, cultures and races willingly accepted), and institutionalizing serious cultural exchange with the Muslims, who seem unable to accept them.

 

In spite of all the available evidence, our past government (under Bill Clinton) has been incomprehensibly blind  in front of new attacks and attempts by Muslim/Arabic terrorists.
The best known, among many, was the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.
President Bill Clinton insisted on asserting: “I believe in deathbed conversions”, referring to the evidence of Iraq's Saddam Hussein’s open hostility, preparations and hidden attempts against USA.  

Even our military was severely reduced and marginalized under his administration, in spite of overwhelming evidence of menacing Islamism (politicized Islam).

 

Under Clinton, the USA was the only Western country (against almost compact European opposition) helping Iran, Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries to arm and help Bosnians, Albanians and Kosovars (the three openly Muslim anti-European Balkan enclaves in Europe), and anti-West mercenaries against the Serbs, who were the strongest obstacle to the extremist Muslim anti-Christian and anti-European Jihad.

 

Evidently, Clinton did not know how much damage he was seeding against the Western cultures.
As to Kosovo, where the Serbians allegedly massacred Albanian (Muslim) terrorists who had massacred Serbs, it was a sacred grounds for Serbia, where Serbs had been repeatedly massacred in the past centuries to save Europe from the Ottoman (Turkish Muslim) invasions.

Under Clinton, USA was the only country who ignored the ethnic cleansing against the Serbs by Jihad-protected Balkan/Muslim forces, especially in Kosovo.

Much of it was hidden from the American public.

Those who attribute to Clinton the facilitation and even possibility of terrorist blows against the Western World may be not far from the unadorned truth.
 

In addition to books, thousands of Americans and non Americans wrote countless indignant warnings, articles and essays about it, but in vain.

History will tell.

 

 

ONGOING INFAMY

 

Among other seemingly unrelated considerations, one keeps recurring in my thoughts:        

 

When I moved into USA in 1955, I had to prove my past, education, moral background etc. to obtain the visa as an immigrant.
Then, I had to behave according to the laws for 5 years before obtaining the right to ask to qualify for the American citizenship examination.

When the time came 5 years later, I had to prove my knowledge of the basics of the American constitution, government composition, that I knew how to read, speak and write English, and that I had had no troubles with the law.

 

Foreign nations were assigned a number quota of allowed immigrants per year, according to the existing percentages of each immigrated ethnic groups already in USA, in order to maintain the existing relative percentages composing USA.

British immigrants, for instance, were granted virtually unlimited and immediate immigration, for obvious historic and cultural reasons.
So, after emigration application and acceptance of the same, an Englishman or Scotsman could emigrate about immediately.

German quota had a short waiting period (about one month or less).

Since my wife was German, she applied and I (born in Italy) came “with” her in the German quota (immigration quotas were based on country of birth, not legal nationality).

Italian-born applicants, otherwise, had an average waiting period of about 5 years just to obtain a visa to immigrate, because of the relatively small percentage of Italians in USA.

I liked the idea of such relatively strict controls, which showed how much USA cared to maintain and improve the level of its overall cultural/ethnical standards.

My case was peculiar, but insignificant. After all, all other desirable countries used the same or similar precautionary measures for obvious cultural preservation reasons.
That was not only prudent, but ethnically logical and a duty toward American public safety.

 

Now, even criminal or illegal immigrants without literacy, skills or even willingness to work and learn English are granted citizenship, free welfare and all that goes with it…

Even if they have come illegally and with a criminal past.

Moreover, an illegal immigrant can sue damages by the dozens and more millions if a hospital or other helping agency commits any error against him/her or any member of his family. Just check the public records or the newspapers...

 

I thought that such an immigrant situation was self-evidently close to cultural suicide, but there are too many supporters to maintain it as it is…

That being and remaining the case, America could ultimately perish.

 

On the other hand, which nation with such a suicidal culture deserves to survive and pollute the world community?

 

The terrorists and other undesirables have incredibly easier access to the USA now than the Anglo-Saxons 50 years ago (they still needed a passport and a visa) in America, even after entering illegally.

 

The invoked rule that everyone is innocent until proven guilty should only apply to American citizens, because of their unique cultural status that enables them to fit properly.
Others should first prove that they understand, and fit in, our culture, instead of cynically contaminate it.
Anything else is almost criminal nonsense, because survival, human rights and reality don’t always match each other.

 

On September 11, 2001, the fanaticism affecting the terrorists allowed them to massacre several thousands of unsuspecting, unarmed, defenseless, innocent civilians with one cowardly blow, a depraved act of Satanic and cowardly undeclared war.

It would amply justify our reaction in kind (really, much less than "in kind", because we would only hit military targets, albeit with some accidental exceptions).

 

There was no reason to limit our response in any way, being the infernal provocation of a nature that eliminates any rule or limitation. 

We have no choice but to acknowledge reality and declare warring enemies not only the terrorists, but also all who host, support or finance them.

 

It is typical of any war that no one can demand proofs and “due process of law” before hitting a warring enemy until he surrenders.
 

The longer we hesitate, the more weapons covert enemies like the Muslim terrorists will develop and use against us as soon as ready.

It was evident already one decade ago, when we fought and defeated Iraq, and before.

I, as well as thousands of other citizens,  already wrote about it.
Are we fighting to win, or …laying eggs for our enemies, at the cost of innocent civilian deaths on both sides?

 

Our vulnerability to terrorism was already well known, as well as our military urgent need for updating and strengthening when Bill Clinton began his first term.

The first he did, after he was sworn in, was to order the military to accept homosexuals in the armed forces.

 

Many high and low officers claimed Clinton’s decision was an intentional insult to the Armed Forces.

I cannot think of any more remarkable and unnecessarily hasty decisions by Clinton for our military.

Did the homosexuals have a special hold on him regarding his past? 

Like other Americans of his political (and sexual?) convictions, he marginalized everything military.

He and his followers were most likely to blame (directly or indirectly) the American and Western Culture for whatever international trouble we  encountered.

The consequent American blunders on the international scene, especially under Clinton and with the Muslims, are too well known to mention here.

8 years of Clinton administration have been 8 years of stagnation and corrosion of the American defense power and motivation.

 

That was the most fertile incubation of our present troubles with the Arabic Muslim world, which opened the door to the progressive festering of the terrorist plague.

Our leftists persist in blaming America for the terrorist slaughters and the horrendous destructions and massacres in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania (let alone the incredible blunders abroad).

 

Even now, it is politically embarrassing to state that the main terrorism suspects in the FBI list are Arab Muslims, like virtually all the terrorists who hit first numerous American targets worldwide, culminating with the World Trade center, the Pentagon , and the crash in Pennsylvania..

 

Our leftist media are (year 2001) refusing to acknowledge the following facts:

(1)   The Arabs and Islam clergy brazenly deny their open or hidden support for Osama bin Laden and anti-America terrorists.

(2)   The Arabs and Islam have started a cowardly war against USA. It may deteriorate into the Third World War, or a rotten terrorist war.

(3)   In spite of official assurances to the contrary, Islam is a religion born and grown in violence, typically dedicated to hating and killing enemies and “infidels”. The Koran, its sacred book, confirms it, although it also preaches peace (among Muslims), charity and welfare virtues, more inconsistently than the Bible.

       Yet, it never says, like the Christian New Testament, “Love thy enemy”.
The Koran prescribes killing the “enemies” and the “infidels”, including detailed instructions how to execute, torture and mutilate them.

(4)   All the 19 hijackers of September 11, 2001 were Arab Muslims

(5)   So far (2001), all the terrorists listed by the FBI and CIA as suspect murderers are both Muslim and Arab.

(6)   Except one or two, all military dictatorships in the world are in Muslim nations.

(7)   28 of present 30 wars (year 2001) or civil wars in the world are in Muslim countries or communities.

(8)   Two thirds of the world political prisoners and 80% of the world yearly executions are and happen in Muslim countries.

(9)   The press in most or all Muslim countries is incessantly inciting hatred and destruction against USA and Israel.

(10) Some of the Muslim media favor interpretations of the attack against New York World Trade Center as a Jewish trick to blame Islam.

 (11) Many thousands of schools in most Muslim countries (well over 10,000 madrassahs and similar kinds of schools in Pakistan alone) are feverishly training little and older children to become suicide terrorists against the "big Satan America" and "little Satan Israel", Christianity, and whatever other "infidels" are left.

 

In the ensuing reaction war, the American punctilious avoidance of civil targets, and showy apologetic attitude in case of erroneous hitting of civilians and non-military targets, induce the whole world to condemn USA every time a wrong target is hit by mistake, while the Muslims intentionally attack, torture, mutilate, dismember, burn alive, decapitate only or primarily innocent American civilians by the thousands with weird impunity.
It sounds as surrealistic as a Kafka novel.

 

Attacking an enemy without “due process of law” because we are at war (started by the Muslims without provocation or warning…) is conventionally unacceptable only if the Americans do it, and the Muslim propaganda now accuses the Americans of terrorism.

 

I don’t know of any war in which each enemy soldier, weapon and property was first brought to a court of law and “duly processed” before shooting or bombing…

Let alone waiting for appeals and results thereof for each and every enemy soldier for years and years before starting the war...
That's also surrealistic à la Kafka. 

 

********************** 

Freud would probably say:

Because of their cultural inadequacy (in science, technology, medicine, art, economy, commerce, literature, philosophy, military power, art, music, athletics, theater, etc...) in the modern world, Muslims have a raging complex of inferiority that subconsciously compels them to react with fanatic feelings (drawn from their “blessed believers versus Satanic infidels” religion) and belligerent compensating assertions of their “superiority”.
Their suicidal terrorism shows they put a victory label on a bottle containing self-destructing defeat.
 

Since they can display their "superiority" only in primitive fights and crimes, they cannot help but using violence, killing and “holy” Satanic war.

 

West-world Christians, starting from their religion of humility, meekness and unconditional love, coupled with their technological and cultural sophistication, -and their belief that therefore they are the best- have a "superiority complex " that compels them to subconsciously react with a paraded feeling of self-righteous “inferiority” and sanctimonious humility.
A common “subconscious” display of that “humility” struts even in displays of “understanding”, and sympathizing with, the enemy (provided that the enemy remains harmless and underdeveloped).

 

Intentionally or subconsciously, this self-deprecation is intellectualized in self-flagellating postures that are taken seriously in colleges and media run by tenured post-modernists, leftists, Socialists, deconstructionists and their groupies.

 

That is why some leftist intellectuals and clergy in America and Western world act as if they were conspiring or sympathizing with the Muslim terrorists.

How many of them are sincere, and how many are anti-Western leftists is hard to prove.

Our Constitution allows anyone to wrong his Country under cover of freedom of speech.

 

To wit:

- The self deprecating descriptions of historic episodes of one’s own country or culture by some Western intellectuals and clergy, and theatrical glorifications of their own historic episodes by the Muslims.

-  The liberal condemnation, in America, of those who openly criticize leftists and other anti-American militants, and protection of anti-American activities, flag burning, anti-Christian propaganda, and similar attacks against American patriotism.
Our being the "best country in the world" does not mean that we don't have citizens that don't deserve to be treated as if they understood our culture.

 

Add to this scenario the consideration that science and intellectual culture coexist separate on equal level with religion in the Western world, while Muslim religion absorbs and regulates everything dogmatically, from science to politics, in the Islamic society (Turkey seems to be the only exception, insofar religion is supposed to have overridden traditional Muslim power to override science, politics, trade, secular law and education).    

Let mobs of the West culture and Islam collide, and we have the seeds of the third world war, or of an indefinitely long cold war. 

We have no clues yet of a third choice.

 

*****************************************

 

The best suggestion available to overcome the incompatibility between West and Islam would be a continuous series of open-minded intellectual encounters for mutual understanding.

On the other hand, religions like Christianity and Islam are dogmatically based on absolute right-and-wrong, good-and-evil.

 

Their mutual exclusivity is a war in which the winner takes no prisoners, regardless of what the holy books say.

The Muslims still have to overcome a worse dogmatism than the one that tainted Christianity in the Middle Ages.

Muslim dogmatism is the worst, because their Koran and historic tradition allow and incite killing and torturing the “infidel” and “enemy”.  

 

The West has already adopted a yielding position of avoiding hostile posture, or at least the appearance thereof.
That may seem diplomatically or politically correct, but it presents a mask of weakness that the Muslim leadership, as well as the mob, have learned to misuse.

The Muslims are now continuously on the attack, like a sanctimonious lynching mob.
“American Satan”, “Jewish and American terrorism”, “(Christian) crusaders” (an utterly despising designation in the Islamic world) and many other insulting epithets are publicly, loudly and continuously declared against America and the West.

We are afraid of doing the same to them. Therefore we appear like a guilty party.


It is evident that our leaders wouldn’t dare to use such openly hostile accusations against the Muslims.

Sign of sophistication or weakness?

Both: they don't mind suicide and world destruction, as long as they end up in Heaven to enjoy eternal sex orgies with the eternally ...copulating virgin houries.

 

Do we still believe that our “diplomatic restraint” (meekness or defensive insecurity) will result as the “winner” (politically incorrect word)?

One thing seems to be certain: as soon as Osama Bin Ladin or any similar monster can get his hands on nuclear weapons or worse, he will use them without hesitation, against us.

 

The weird world reaction of loudly condemning USA when our airplanes hit a few civilians by mistake and virtually ignoring the deliberately horrendous massacres of innocents by the Taliban, other Muslims and suicide bombers proves that we are inexplicably incapable or reluctant (?) to use our best-in-the-world skills to communicate our side of the story to the whole world.

 

When do we start to fill this gigantic gap?

 

 


***********************************************************

 

THE LEGACY  

 

Osama bin Ladin, the Talibans and, previously, the Ayatollah Khomeini have forced us into the reality: Islam has unnecessarily decided to be the mortal enemy of the West and Christianity.
Since its inception, Islam has always been the sworn -if not always outspoken- enemy of any non-Muslim person, culture, religion or nation.                               

 

Their posture is:

Infidels (non-Muslims) must be converted or destroyed.                

Whoever dies fighting the enemies (non-Muslims) and the unbelievers is a martyr and goes directly to Heaven, even if he is otherwise a criminal.
The Koran says it unequivocally, according to those who train children to become suicide bombers.

 

No other religion offers such a bargain and reward so easily available to even the murderer-suicide "martyrs":
 

commit any crime, murder, rape. robbery, debauchery you want, all your life, until you decide to load yourself with explosives to blow up while attacking anyone you choose to declare an "enemy of Allah" or "infidel" in open plazas, restaurants, schools, churches, banks, synagogues, shopping centers, etc..
From that moment into eternity, you will go direct to Heaven, where the celestial virgins will delight you for all eternity.
That is, if you are a man.
It is not clear what is reserved for women.

The eternal delight to give eternal erotic joy to the murder-suicide/"martyrs"?

 

[The truth is, however,  that the Islamic theology says unequivocally that SUICIDE, MURDER, CANNIBALISM, INCEST, and RAPE are THE FIVE UNPARDONABLE SINS.
Furthermore, Islam forbids human sacrifice, as exemplified by God's refusal to accept Abraham's sacrifice of his firstborn and demanded that a lamb would be sacrificed instead.
That is the reason of  Islam's refusal to accept Jesus Christ's self-sacrifice for mankind.
That also hopelessly embarrasses the Muslim leaders and even clerics who justify the suicide bombers.

 

Suha, the wife of their devious leader Arafat stated that she would be proud if her son became a suicide bomber.
Conveniently, she only has a daughter.
 

Note: we know of no son (or daughter) of any prominent Muslim leader or scholar dead in a suicide attack against "infidels"]. 
 

Meanwhile, whenever and wherever they can not fight a war of conquest, true Muslims refuse to be assimilated, culturally and otherwise, into the nation and/or culture in which they live.

 

The Jews, who are also originally Semitic, are claimed to do the same.

Probably therefore, they ended up isolated in separate areas or ghettos, as it happened in Germany, France, England and other European countries.
On the other hand, they become superbly assimilated members of the societies where they reside, whereas the Muslims are even forbidden by their clergy to fit with "infidels".

 

What really makes the Jews the "chosen people" -I think- is their successful determination to survive persecutions and other adversities.

Dr. Viktor E. Frankl's  (survivor of 3 Nazi extermination camps and leader of the "Third Viennese School of Psychology") autobiographic writings give a stunning  evidence of it.

 

France, which has the highest number of Arabs (virtually all Muslims) in Europe, has a policy of assimilating them, just like any other immigrants.
That causes serious troubles with the Arabic immigrants and their religious leaders who forbid the Muslims to be assimilated into the French culture.

In Germany, the government has a “multicultural” policy that protects the Arabic ethnic, religious and even dress-code characteristics.
That, however,  still causes depressing isolation in ghettos, plus mutual hostility with the German neighbors.

 

 ******************************************************

 

1) The main problem is now to reeducate the Islamic world out of the continuous self repeating cycle of:

 

a) brainwashing the children with the Koran-first education and about the American Satan lurking against Islam and victimizing the Allah-fearing Muslims into suffering and poverty.

 

b) crippling poverty resulting from such a blinding fanaticism that renders Muslims unable to cope with the modern world.

 

c) propagating the conviction that Muslim poverty is the consequence of Muslim victimization by the "Satanic Western vampires".

 

d) resulting defeat (="victimization") of the Muslims by the “infidels”.

 

2) Second problem:

 

a) explain the truth about Christianity, Western culture, democracy, America etc. to the teachers of the new teachers…

 

b) where are the teachers to teach the teachers?

 

3) Probably the most menacing clue :

 

The astounding continuous celebrations of ecstasy and jubilation in the streets and other open places in Islamic cities upon every announcement of mass murders of innocent civilians in Western countries by Islamic suicide-murderers and other bombers, without any unqualified condemnation by the Muslim leaders.

 

That is the equivalent of showing us that each one of them would kill or torture us savagely, given the opportunity, without any restraint by their governments...

 

As if the above were not enough, our governments are eager to protect all those potential murderers in our country, if they use... non-illegal means and the "Miranda warning" in pursuing their Satanic purposes...

 

********************************************

 

A sick adversary system turns disgruntled (especially leftist) Americans against American foreign policy:

 

Since foreign policy is normally run by the party in power, the opposition becomes biased against our foreign policy and -consciously or not- in favor of our enemies, when it helps getting votes against the party in power.
This reoccurs like a weird ritual dance at every presidential election and political move.       

 

That gives a negative slant to our “multiculturalism” and encourages a significant percentage of voters to support whatever opposes the foreign policy of the government, and falls into anti-Americanism, anti-West, anti-Christianity, against the white man.

 

The cumulative effect, through the subsequent administrations, is the crumbling of our defense  against our enemies.
 

That is the main substance of our domestic crypto or overt anti-Americanism.

 

Some disgruntled sections of our population fall into this trap and embrace the anti-American “Black Muslims” and similar Islamic organizations, which should be called rather “Islamistic”, due to their political rather than religious essence.

 

Black Muslims, like the terrorist organizations (virtually all Muslim) campaign against white America, Western Culture and the white male, as well as against Christianity, with hardly any theological or quasi religious mention of what should be their missionary zeal to convert us into Islam.

 

According to the interviewed Islam scholars and leaders, Islam’s first and foremost Muslim mission -according to the Koran- is to convert the entire world to Islam.

Or else.
 

Those who cannot be converted are the "enemies" and "infidels" to be killed or converted.
Neither the Black Muslims nor the now defeated Taliban fundamentalists have shown any missionary efforts to convert us to their "theology" and to welcome us into their midst.

 

Thanks to Osama bin Ladin, the king must now recognize he has no clothes.
Islamists reject Americans, democracy, human rights, women equality with men, capitalism, Western culture, and any religion, activity or even speech not 100% conforming with the Muslim dogmas.
Just as we are not allowed do do anything unconstitutional, so are the citizens of every true Muslim nation not allowed to do or even think anything that is not as Muslim as written in the Koran, which is their Constitution.

 

Their hatred for us is unlimited and unquenchable.

They don't just want to defeat us: they must annihilate us (kill, enslave, imprison, lock us in forced labor or the like).

Since Islamists justify themselves as our victims, our leftist opposition parties use that blame to accuse USA of imperialism, oppression, exploitation and whatever is catchy for anti-Americans.

1) War is the ultimate solution: the pursuit of total victory or extermination, especially when all other means are impossible.

A mirror of this concept and its ultimate consequences is the September 11th 2001 attack against the World Trade Center twin towers in New York.

When we asked the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan to deliver Osama bin Laden, the main figure and culprit of global anti-American terrorism, they first wanted us to prove his guilt, then they stated that he left the country, then that they didn't know where he was, and so on.
 

Then, they came up with lunatic menaces against USA.

Normally, that starts a war, which, by the way, had already been started by Bin Laden and his organization with the cowardly Satanic attack.

 

USA won, and demanded unconditional surrender.
Afghanistan surrendered in a devious way (like Iraq a few years before) that would justify furthering the war.
It expected and allowed foreign (Saudi Arabians, Iraqis, Pakistanis, and others) voluntary terrorists to be exempted and released (to join in other acts of terrorism against USA), and proclaimed to the world that theirs was a war to defend Islam against the West, America and Christianity.

 

First, in a war, the enemy is pursued and killed. Period.
When the enemies surrender, they are imprisoned.                 ***/

Then they are released after the war, as the winner sees fit, according to the normal rules of war.

When the prisoners are guilty of crimes beyond and outside the normal conduct of the current war, like the foreign terrorists, they are to be judged by a military tribunal, because of the culprits' self-evident posture and participation in the war process.

The adversaries of our government opposed the use of military tribunals and demanded paralyzing civil processes in which each accused individual would be entitled to "due process" that would last for months and/or years, plus appeals etc.
That is not only loony, but it would allow the terrorists to continue attack USA (of course, without "due process") and innocent civilians.

Then, go to court...

 

In the case of terrorists, their having repeatedly declared themselves mortal enemies of  America and the West cultures, with the precisely defined purpose of killing any of such "enemies" and "infidels" makes the "innocent until proven guilty" assumption ludicrous, or at least superfluous.
 

Pakistan was our ally in this war, and it hosted our representatives, soldiers and planes.

Yet, it allowed hundreds or thousands of its anti-American citizens to cross the boarder and join the Taliban...

Also many hundreds of Saudi Arabs joined the Taliban in the Afghan war against America, in order to die and so gain the Paradise with the Houries.

 

After the Taliban were defeated, Pakistan planes flew to Afghanistan to bring the Pakistani and other terrorists back to Pakistan (so that they would attack USA  again later)...

Most of the surrendering  higher ranking Talibans were set free by the America-allied Afghans without consulting with the Americans...
 

Our government kept silent about it to keep the Pakistani cooperation in the proper direction, no matter how leaky.

Of course, the liberated terrorists will continue to participate in new attacks to kill more Americans...
 

Islamists believe (in a rather shaky way) that they are culturally superior, but they are obsessed with the inferiority of their knowledge and power.
Better suicidal death in a flashing similar to that of a dazzling "Nova"  of a dying star.

With the houries waiting, of course.

"A female pubic hair pulls more that a hundred camels".

 

 

There is more:

Pakistan has over 10,000 (yes, ten thousand) "madrassahs" religious schools or 1.75 million students (from childhood on), to teach them the Koran and indoctrinate them in the Jihad (Holy War) in favor of Osama bin Laden and against America, Christianity and the Western World.

Goal: kill every American or other "infidel" who doesn't convert to Islam.
Or, kill him even if he does convert, because he cannot be trusted, and every commitment with an "infidel" is not binding for a Muslim believer.
Again, forget tribunals.


I wish that what I am writing here were not true...                      ***/

 

2) Sovereign nations are to remain free of other nations' interference.

The moment one nation seeks the approval of other nations, this sovereignty is lost.
We are supposed to seek the approval of the rest of the world (at least of the United Nations) for whatever we do abroad.

Now we hear that some members of the UN -and the democrats, of course- don't want us to use military tribunals against the terrorists.
They also warn us not to force Iraq to prove (as they agreed to do when they lost the war against USA..) that they are not producing weapons of mass destruction and chemical/biological warfare,
They certainly would not think so if Iraq were aiming at them.

Then, they agree to inspect Iraq for "mass destruction weapons".

 

3) The pursuit of justice has been discarded in favor of the pursuit of appearance of justice.

The partisanship of the liberal opposition would risk even America itself in order to hurt the American conservative administration.

They attempted to pursue the claim that the Bush administration was "losing its legitimacy" for advocating the use of military courts to prosecute ferocious terrorists captured during our present conflict with Afghanistan and other rogue nations.
 

Such courts have been used as a normal measure with war prisoners and criminals in the same and similar circumstances for centuries, without any opposition by the same kind of people who object now.

Our military want to use military courts to prosecute heinous terrorists who are indescribably worse than any war prisoners, who have no right of being protected by any national (applied to American citizens) or international laws.

Those we want to bring to our civilized justice kill their prisoners as if they were stray dogs or ants.

Then, after their demands and accusations fell on their faces, they tried to limit themselves to claims that their are patriotic too. After losing one election after another.

 

The reasons are so obvious that their present argumentations are hard to believe.

 

 

AFTERTHOUGHTS:

 

Several factors have conspired to induce the Muslims to greatly underestimate, hate and even despise the Western culture level, determination and power:

 

1) Deconstrutionism and leftist cultural relativism of the American academics.

 

2) Decline of politicized Christian religion and its secular public relations.

 

3) American “multiculturalism’s” result of making every culture and religion “equal”, therefore irrelevant, and not to be opposed or protected from the American perspective, but generating government supported bellicose anti-American chauvinism among most members of any anti-American minority (equivalent to granting the same validity and rights to patriotism and treason, for presumed therapeutic reasons).

 

4) Politicians’ reluctance to take a firm stand against terrorist-hosting nations, for fear of losing Muslim, leftist, ultra-feminist and democratic votes at home.

 

5) Progressive and ultimately complete deactivation of national security measures dictated by our fanaticism about lionized “individual rights” and personal privacy cults to protect the most despicable anti-American illegal immigrants,  murderers and terrorists.

 

6) Unrealistic idealization of freedom of expression in anti-American and anti-Christian matters, consequent defense of any expression of anti-patriotism, anti-white -male and anti-family feminazism.

 

7) Clinton's deliberate anti-militarism from forcing the military to accept unwanted applicants and cutting financing, plus opposing strengthening/modernization of our military.

 

8) Clinton's refusal and inability to face the warnings, menaces and repeated attacks of Islamic terrorists' (including bin Ladin's) killings of American citizens worldwide.

 

8) Progressive demolition of the family idea and structure, from AIDS-like “no-fault divorce” to "children’s right to divorce their parents".

 

10) Continuous corrosion of Western culture and Christian tradition (not just religion) by language literate, but culturally illiterate, leftist professors tenured in most universities.

 

11+) ........ (this list is only partial)

 

 

WHAT NEXT

 

Beside his Satanic crime against USA, Osama bin Ladin has delivered the worst blow ever to Islam's reputation and future.

 

Islam could be epitomized by approximately seven pivotal nations (and their neighbors): Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Indonesia, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, and Turkey:

[Status as of 2002 a.d.]

 

1) Saudi Arabia (population: ca. 22 millions), the original Islamic country, where Mohammed ibd Abd Allah, born in Mecca (Saudi Arabia) in about 570 a.d., preached from 613 to his death in 632 a.d., is not the likely leader of Islam, because it depends too heavily on the Western world for its oil revenues, finances and political survival of the monarchy and other practical interests.

 

2) Egypt (population: ca. 69 millions) is a strategically well located Arabian country, dependent on both the West for financial and cultural wealth, and on the Islamic oil rich states, but too poor to exert an influence commensurate to its historical, cultural and population importance.

 

3) Indonesia (population: over. 230 millions), the largest Islamic country, but religiously not as deeply committed as the other Moslem countries. Then, its population is not homogeneous and its economic situation is dubious if not poor.

 

4) Pakistan (population: ca. 141 millions), the second largest Moslem state, but poor, ethnically divided, and politically unstable (it became a nation in 1947).

 

5) Iran (population: ca. 65 millions), is of the Shi'ite Moslem sect, whereas 90% of the Moslems are Sumni, and Iran and Saudi Arabia have long been traditionally hostile to each other.

 

6) Iraq (population: ca. 22 millions), a bellicose Arab military dictatorship presumably very active in developing chemical, biological and other secret weaponry aiming at USA destruction. Hostile to Saudi Arabia and other important neighbors. Not very stable, ethnically heterogeneous. Feared by all other Muslim countries.

 

7) Turkey (population: ca. 66 millions), fulcrum of the former Ottoman empire, could be the logical leader of the Moslem world for cultural, economic, military, political  and national stability, but most of its positive characteristics were developed by its Western-leaning leader Ataturk (1880-1938) in a secular rather than Islamic religion-dominated  fashion typical of the other Moslem states.

 

The Turks could presumably wish to return to their ancient glory and resume their ascent after the historic 1453 victory against Constantinople (founded by the Greeks as Byzantium and finally developed into Constantinople by the Romans, then renamed as Istanbul by the Turks), which they conquered by using the Western artillery technology.
They suffocated further cultural and technological development by sacrificing science, philosophy, art general culture to Islam.
Therefore their Ottoman Empire was destroyed at the beginning of the 20th century.

Ataturk saved Turkey from oblivion by secularizing Turkish Islam and adopting the technology, economy and many other aspects of the Western culture.

If the Turks returned to the usual Islamic theocratic pattern, they would too easily fall back in the pervading Dark Ages of the Islamic world.

 

Previous attempts by the Moslems to conquer the Western world have been continuous, since the 7th century.

They began with the invasion of Spain (then the distant Christian and Roman outpost in the West), where they remained until 1492 (same year of America's discovery by Columbus), when they were defeated by the Spaniards.

 

According to official history, further invasion into Europe was stopped by the French king Charles Martel at Tours and Poitiers, France, in 732 a. d.

In reality, that was no more than a simple police action by the king of France's army to defeat stray and unsupported Arab raiders venturing far beyond the most West remote Muslim frontier, north of the Pyrenees into France.
The event remained unknown in the Muslim world.
Even Ibn Al-Qutiyya, then the major historian of Muslim Spain didn't seem to have noticed it.

A contemporary event that captured the Arab world's attention was the heroic resistance of the Greeks who defeated the continuous furious Muslim attempts to conquer Constantinople with their fully displayed and supported armies.

This series of defeats exhausted and stopped the Muslim invasion of Europe.

 

Yet, continuous Islamic pressure against the West and Christianity continued, especially in Eastern Europe.

The Christian Crusades, from the 11th to the 13th century, to liberate Jerusalem, were a  bloody mess on both sides.
A stalemate was achieved, with both sides as hostile as before.

 

Renewed Islamic attempts to invade Europe were stopped by Serbs, Austrians, Russians and other East Europeans only a couple of centuries ago (Kosovo is a Serbian sanctuary of the Serbian terrible sacrifices to save Europe against Islam).
Albania and Bosnia are still Moslem.
Clinton's war against the Serbs started the final transfer of of Kosovo to Islam, which Milosevic was fighting.

Their anti-West posture (especially Albania's) is well known.

Thus, Clinton's ignorance of history tricked him into facilitating ominous further infiltration of relentless anti-Christian/anti-American sworn enemies into the Western World.
 

A few centuries ago,  the Turks kidnapped several thousands of Christian babies in the Balkan peninsula, Bosnia and  nearby, educated them into Moslem adulthood in Turkey or other Moslem environments, and then returned them to their native Balkan places as Moslems to spread their religion.
They are still the festering nuclei of "Balkanizing" disruption.

The historic death knell of Moslem attempts to conquer Europe and the West was their definitive debacle at Vienna, Austria, in 1683.

 

Islam succeeded not in the more civilized world, but in backward countries, which were the only ones where it could bring a primitive, but  initially unknown, progress and unity.
Then, it embalmed its believers' primitivism within the limiting and bellicose self glorification imposed by their theocratic dictatorship.
 

Today Moslems are fragmented in fighting clans, tribes, ethnic groups who use Islam to unite (in controlled "peaceful" harmony) members inspired by common hatred against "enemy" and "infidel".
Their theologians build arabesques of Western-borrowed philosophy to rationalize Islamic short-fused unity from hatred for "others", and glorify its stagnation with dignified designations.

 

A religion of mobs united in fanatical hatred can win only in the short run against a Christian religion of individual love, even if we Christians keep falling back into the occasional but recurring ochlocracy, or "mob democracy".
In the long run, however, the inspiring Christian approach wins, if only by default..

 

Our self-destructing cultural relapses are monotonously caused, and occasionally conducted, by pretentious bullies who attribute to themselves the merits of a Western culture they can enjoy without comprehending it.

 

In the Islamic world, this arrest was made permanent by Islam's suffocation of any progressive influence by the normal historical evolution that was and is taking place elsewhere in the world.


Lynching mobs, political vultures, sanctimonious hypocrites are the most visible herding factors for the countless human maggots thriving in any culture (including ours) without the clear vision offered by unbiased education.

Scientific, philosophic, social, technologic, economic, political, artistic evolution would be the death of fundamentalist Islam, and Islam their death: a historic "catch 22" situation in the Muslim countries.
 

Developing cultures are still afflicted by the persistent problems of those human "rejects" (those at the bottom layer of any culture).
Even if they are college educated, they are rejected from life into incoherent nihilism with suicidal terrorist murders and destructions with the lure of heavenly sexual delights in Paradise.

Muslim clerics teach that path in all details, in tens of thousands of "madrassahs" and similar schools for innocent children to be brainwashed into the most lethal hate crimes, massacres and destructions.

Why are Osama bin Laden's followers unable to see that he is not himself attracted into joining the martyrdom bliss of Paradise and the lovely houries?

 

The international fundamentalist Jihad has produced thousands of suicidal terrorists, plus millions of sympathizers who can only kill, massacre and destroy.
When they conquer and master, they can only create nightmarish dictatorships that are sustained through mutilations, tortures, executions, with hopeless enslavement of women and subservient citizens, as the Afghan Taliban government demonstrated.

 

For centuries until today, they have ultimately been defeated when in open conflict with the West.

Even a superficial look into the past would show that the Muslims are trying the same as in the past centuries.
Since they (as well as we) ignore it, they and we are simply repeating history.
This simplified explanation is still valid.


Now, they are trying their Jihad with the novel means of communication, wealth primed by their oil revenues, new weapons created by the Western technology and the new possibilities connected with them.

 

They will be defeated again, because the technology is not theirs, nor do they have the capability of mastering it as creators and producers (their learned technicians and scientists are too few and culturally handicapped), plus the Western culture and its results.

 

Islam's methods of subordinating all teachings and knowledge to the Koran deprives them of the necessary educational tools and teachers.
The Muslim mullahs, ulemas, etc. have many reasons to fear that if they adopted the cultural tools and knowledge provided by the West world developments, Jihad and Islamism would be radically changed for everyone's benefit, including the Muslims'.

 

Sooner or later, they will face the inevitability of the changes that history is bound to pressure on Islam itself.

 

 

 

Mohammed ibd Abd Allah

 

The Arab prophet Mohammed (570-632 A. D.) was probably the most successful and influential religious/military leader in history.

Born after his father’s death,  Mohammed was first under the care of his grandfather Abd al-Muttalib, then with his wet nurse in a desert nomadic tribe. At 6 he lost his mother, at 8 his grandfather. Then, he was raised by his uncle Abu Talib. At 25 he married a 40 year old rich trading woman, Khadijah who bore him at least 2 sons who died young, and 4 daughters, of whom Fatimah became known for succession consequences.

 

Since ca. 610, he heard a voice saying: “You are the messenger of God”.
Then, he received about 650 “revelations” and messages that were collected and written in the “Koran”.  

He claimed to be the Prophet of Allah, the only god, and preached a religion that recognized the Jewish Old Testament and the Christian Gospel as predecessors of -albeit not equal to- his Koran (=“Writing”), sacred book of his religion Islam (=“Surrender”).

 

Khadijah died in 619. Mohammed never married again, but he had nine wives and a Christian concubine.
With money he inherited from Khadijah, he kept pursuing trade, while spreading his religion.
His method was not only preaching Allah’s word but also conquering one tribe and territory after another by the sword.

 

After Mohammed  unified  the Arab peninsula and prepared the conquest of Syria, the expansion of Islam was so phenomenal that in just decades after Mohammed’s death, its territories included virtually the countries from the Mediterranean (North Africa and parts of South Europe) to the border with India, including ancient empires like Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Iran.

Islam was the ideal religion fitting the survival instincts of the primitive Arabian, Mediterranean, North African, Turkish and other warlike tribes between the Atlantic African coast and the Indian sub-continent.

No other religion was able to unify its believers so successfully in bellicose conquests and continuous wars. No other religion offered so many and so high rewards to those who died for Allah.

No other religion offered so many and high rewards for killing any “infidels”, whether male or female, old, young, virtuous or guilty or innocent of other crimes.

Mohammed started preaching Islam in his native Mecca, one of many (mostly isolated) cities and villages in an enormous undefined territory that he unified into what today is the Saudi Arabia peninsula.

From the start, his dominant instrument of success was military conquest: attack, subjugation by the sword, often in “razziahs” (raids) against caravans, towns  and regions, and then forced conversion to Islam.

 

The Christians and the Jews had already been active in those territories for centuries, but what they preached was not as successful as Islam, which was ideally suited to the bellicose and brutal life style of the desert tribes where it was born.
