9-11 and RELIGION

This photo of the World Trade Center towers collapsing after the Islamic Terrorist Attack of 9-11-01 evoke different feelings in each of us. If you're a radical islamist you are dancing in the the streets today and filled with determination to make Satan (the US) suffer some more, and cut more heads off the snake. This is in stark contrast to the memorial events of today where were are re-attending the death of our American peace of mind. It is an almost Jewish revisitation of Shiva and annual memorialization rather than a "We're mad as Hell and we are not going to take this anymore" attitude. Fine, lets have our moments of silence and laying of wreaths but then it is time to reclaim our national testicles and reflect on the fact that the people responsible for this attack on our soil are still out there alive and well while our citizens are dead and buried. They attack us anywhere they wish and we follow unrealistic rules of engagement in their rat infested prehistoric countries. They shoot at our troops and then run and hide in the sanctuary of one of their sacred mosques. Or they hide among school children and the sick while our American sensibilities prevent us from chasing them into schools and hospitals because we fear collateral damage and world opinion.

Our enemies do not understand weakness and understanding, they understand only violent response to their violent acts. It's the core of their belief system. They think we are weak little children and women and they have neither fear nor respect for our half-hearted national resolve. And now on this national day or mourning and remembrance we show even more weakness in their eyes by our KUMBAYA concerns about some guy who wants to burn a Quiran in Florida and another who wants to build a Mosque next door to the site of the destroyed World Trade Center. They capitalize on our weakness by their threats to do something really bad if we don't allow them to build or let what's-his-name in Florida burn their book. And we fold like a house of cards. Our leaders are more concerned with political correctness than destroying our enemy.

I don't think Teddy Roosevelt would have been so concerned about whose toes we step on in far away lands populated by enemies who are sworn to destroy us. If we continue to be weaker that our enemy, by choice, we will soon be living under Sharia Law. Or you can choose to believe "Everything is OK, I can go back to watching American Idol."
