OK, before I get any hate mail, let me be clear. I do not hate Muslims. I simply put in this story to make a point. Recently on the O'Reilly Factor on AM radio, Bill had a guest host. The guest host was going on and on about how wrong and horrible the detention of the Japanese American's was during WWII. I guess I am in the minority because I have very few problems with it, First some history. After Pearl Harbor, Amerca was getting its collective butt kicked. We were losing ground in the Pacific faster than we could ever hope to regain it. We were in the middle of a two front war, and our homeland was under attack. After the battle of the Coral Sea, (?) which was virtually a tie, the US was licking its wounds. We sent the USS Yorktown back to Hawaii to be repaired. Those repairs were to have taken 4 months. Instead, they were done in days. Why? So we could get the Yorktown back to the decisive battle of Midway. (Something we knew would commence very quickly.) The point, and I do have one, is this. We KNOW that Japanese American agents gave intel to the Japanese just before Pearl Harbor. Not some cloak and dagger kind of James Bond. Instead, Japanese American citizens with a slant toward Tojo. Everyday guys working with you and me who dropped a dime and let the ENEMY know our movements. The thrust was to make sure that this did not happen again. Where would the US have been if some traitor had called into Tojo and told him that the USS Yorktown was steaming to Midway? So, what does this have to do with today, and especially the idiot on O'Reilly? I have a theory. I call it the three strikes at Wal Mart theory. Ask yourself, "Why have the terrorists never walked into a Wal Mart shooting everyting in sight, and going out in a blaze of glory? (Similar to what they DO in Israel) Because they are even smart enough to know that the American People will not put up with that crap. Yeah, they hit our twin towers. But, did they have the balls to do anything else in short fashion? No, and listen to me carefully here, because the American People would demand detention camps for Arab descendants that would make the Japanese camps look like Disneyland. You have to realize that I am only speaking logically here. I do not hate the Arabs, nor do I want to see my neighbors put away. My point in writing this is to show the idiocy of the guy on the radio. He knows as well as I do that this is exactly what would happen. They MIGHT get away with one Wal Mart, maybe two? Three? No way. There WILL reach a time when those civil liberties that we have all taken for granted will be flushed down the toilet. My HOPE is that they come for the true trouble makers, not me. And that, is my final point. I, as a Christian, would not tolerate some yahoo claiming to blow people up for Christ. It is called self policing. How many Christian groups can you name that spread crap like that that are put up with in the Christian community. Sure, there is the Church of the Creator, and Christian Identity, but who the hell listens to those 10-20 people anyway. No, the problem, the TRUE problem is a religion that not only allows, but also PUSHES crap of telling their "flock" to blow us up. Go ahead and give me some of your hippie crap back on this. I expect both barrels. I am sure I am a "bad person" and a nut. However, history will prove who was right. I predict that in the next 18 months we will have declared war on the true enemy. Islam.
I'm not quite following here... Are you implying that we should change the focus of the war on terrorism to a war on Islam?
No, it is not what I want, but what will happen whether I want it or not. For it to come true, we will have to break the 3 Strikes Wal Mart rule. Simple small (or large) hits here and there will not do it. IF they do a concerted effort and strike 3 times, or if they use WMD within the 50 states, you will see a backlash against Islam that NOONE will be able to stop. However, I am not for rounding people up. The point of the post was to say that to go on and on about how bad something was, etc., is stupid. When push comes to shove the American People will act. Do remember that ALL terrorist acts in the past 20 years were done by Islamic radicals. Yeah, you could say OKC was right wing. I lived in OKC on April 19th, 1995. In fact, I lived less than 3/4 miles from the Murrah Building. Funny thing is that from day one, multiple eye witness reports said John Doe #2 was of Arabian descent. Terry Nichols made two trips to the Phillipines in 1994 and met with Islamic radicals. Go figure.
I agree with most of what you said actually. No double barrled hippie assault (though I really don't care too much for hippies, its just a nickname that stuck). But I am confused when you say all terrorist acts have been islamic radicals. What about Northern Ireland?
Terrorist acts on our soil, or aimed against us. Yes, the IRA has existed for decades. Their terrorism has not directly affected me or my way of life. Believe you me, if some IRA dude showed up at my Wal Mart with a rifle and started taking people out, my tolerance of the Catholics or Protestants would decline. No, the point is that everything all the way back to Klinghoffer, Libya, TWA in Beirut, the MANY Americans taken hostage in Beirut in the 80's, ad nauseum, have all been perepetrated by this "peace loving" religious organization that we know as the Islamic faith. I believe there are many americans just like me that are boiling underneath the surface. Yes, we know that locking up innocent civilians goes against everything we have ever held dear. But, people with a brain realize that if they keep @#$%ing with us they will end up getting their just reward. I am VERY close to saying that Islam is the enemy. Please tell me why I would be wrong with that statement?
The cold hard fact of the matter is that, while most Americans refuse to see who our enemy is, the Muslims have no doubt whatsoever who THEIR enemy is: I am against America until this life ends, until the Day of Judgment; I am against America even if the stone liquefies My hatred of America, if part of it was contained in the universe, it would collapse. She is the root of all evils, and wickedness on earth. http://www.nationalreview.com/document/document042602.asp
