We are Fighting Islam
– By Justin Darr
One of the chief struggles America is facing in the War on Terror is defining the enemy. In a simplistic sense this is easy. We are fighting Islamist radicals as embodied in Osama bin Laden and his Al Qaeda terrorist network. However, this assessment falls short of the mark when you consider the size and scope of the conflict. No one man or group could be solely responsible being the source of such widespread violence stretching across the globe and through the centuries of history. Within a historical context, the War on Terror is not a unique conflict between the United States and international criminals, as many wish it was, but a continuation of the millennia long struggle between Islam and the rest of the world. Whether we like it or not, whether we chose this or not, we must face the fact that we are fighting Western civilization’s oldest and most dangerous adversary, Islam.
If you read the newspapers or watch television news you are inundated with statements of Islam being “a religion of peace.” After the London terrorist attacks, Moslem organizations dutifully issued their condemnations of the attacks. However, these will be the last statements critical of Islamic radicalism you will hear from most prominent Moslem groups, until the next terrorist attack, because they are far too eager to return to their main agenda of blaming America and Israel for all the evils in the world. The reality is most of the proclamations of Islam being a benign religion of peace are not coming from the Islamic community, but from their new class of acolytes, our elected Western leaders.
While this may sound wonderful to culturally sensitive Western ears, it does not reflect the facts of the history or theology of Islam ………….
