“Why ‘they’ hate us”
Posted on August 13, 2006
This isn’t some surrenderous lament or an exercise in self-flagellation we’ve come to expect from “our betters” in the media and the academy. This is the truth.
Islamists want to dominate the entire planet down to the last man. There is no desire to live in peace with neighbors, or even fellow countrymen or co-religionists who don’t swallow the agenda. It’s as simple as that.
We hear the Islamists represent only a small percentage of the overall population. So what if that’s true anyway? One percent equals more than 10 million people worldwide…and sympathy for indiscriminant slaughter in the name of Allah enjoys a far higher approval rating than 1%, even in nations where Muslims live free. It doesn’t matter if this “small percentage” doesn’t represent “most” Muslims, just like it doesn’t matter that the New York Times does not represent the American mainstream thought. Like the New York Times shapes media coverage the world over despite the truth that it represents the worldview of no one outside a university campus or a newsroom, the Islamists dominate the direction of the Muslim world, regardless of who they actually “represent.” Why else would the new Iraqi leadership feel the need to be on record as, if not supporting Hezbollah, at least not being against them despite the fact that they attacked a sovereign nation with no provocation?
We hear lies about “frustration” conceived by poverty and “policies” of other nations that perpetuate the dysfunction in the Arab/Muslim world. But this isn’t an economic issue. Many Arab countries sit on massive wealth, yet their people still live in poverty because the tyrants that run these countries have no intention to care for, or even treat humanely, its own Muslim citizenry. Not only that, the profile of many of the Islamist terrorists are that of middle-class, Western-educated people who can hardly be described as acting out in response to “oppression.”
It’s not about “envy” either. The Islamists do not desire what we have, they want to destroy it and replace it.
It’s not about our “decadence” either. Yes, they may pretend to despise our “prostitutes” (you know, women who wear pants), but the 9-11 killers could be found boozing it up in strip clubs the night before they declared all-out war on America. The Saudis and Saddam are known to have had huge porn collections and liquor supplies to rival the amount of oil underneath their soil.
It’s not about Israel either. Yes, Israel provides a nice whipping boy, especially since a still-raging anti-Semitism in places that should know better (hello Europe) makes for ripe fields of sympathy among the elites of the Euro-American media. Yes, Israel does highlight the shamefulness of Arab-Muslim society — they have flourished in what was a barren backwater with no natural resources amid a history of unbroken aggression from every inch of its border. Surrounding Israel are failed states of tyranny and pathology. Israel’s prosperity is an inconvenient window into the soul of the Arab world who just can’t seem to produce societies that bless the world, when their tiny neighbor did so despite arriving, in many cases with the clothes on their backs. Islamist hatred of Israel is not born of envy, but of shame. Even so, what do India, Indonesia and the Philippines have to do with Israel? The terrorists operate there why?
We hear about any number of “root causes” — but none of those things are the reason that Islamists do what they do. There is only one reason — domination wherever they are, subjugating all others under the Sword of the Prophet.
So how do we win? Enough with the view of “polite society” which harbors an assumption that we can “negotiate” with Islamists (what do we negotiate away?). There’s only one way. Complete annihilation of Islamism and the creation of a state of affairs in which these terrorists scurry back into their dirty holes because they know they cannot win.
Sadly, every time a news dolt puts on her glasses to look intelligent and leans toward some “expert” during a “hard-hitting” interview that it sure to finally “get down to the bottom” of this burning question — “Why do they hate us?” — we show that we live in fear and ignorance and don’t have the will to win. Even worse, we are now seeing proof every day that the news media has been working with our enemies in a worldwide propaganda campaign that can only lead to our hastened demise.

They hate us because of our freedoms. We’re free to have gay marriage and reproductive rights and sex education in schools. They hate that.
They don’t hate “our” freedom. They hate FREEDOM. That was one of the other “root causes” I alluded to that are incidental to their true agenda.
Glib,
I would like to cross post this to my other site. OK? Will provide link backs to Stop the ACLU and anywhere you would like.

Go for it brother. Thanks.
Ironic finding a diatribe against theocracy on a web site attacking an organization for keeping religion out of government.

One more bong hit and you lose your last brain cell. Better be some good chronic so it’s all worth it.
Every comment you make is another shovel full of evidence that you have no thoughts, only four or five conditioned, reflexive responses no more profound than the flopping twitch of a detached lizard tail.
To not know the difference between abhorring religious bigotry in this country and killing anyone in your path that slows down the drive for global sharia exposes the lack of depth of your Leftist parochialism.
Go to the corner and put your e-dunce cap on.
They execute anyone who converts from Islam to another region and the international community is attempting to convert them from Islam and Shia law to Secularism and International law.
We have the same problem here in the U.S. and the conservative Christian no more fond of having another religion forced on them.
Unlike Christianity Islam does not seem to believe in turning the other cheek. They seem to believe in measuring out a multiple times as is measured out to you.
Are Christians acting like an abused person when they give in to the abuse leveled out against them?
When Islam tries to force its religion on to other people it works much like it is in Sudan where they are killing off Christians and Pagans. Terror attacks are not their way of spreading their religion. It is their way of influencing politics. I believe the first Islamic terrorist was Hassab the Assassin.
Carmintx,
The ACLU is a libertarian communist organization whose agenda is clearly to force their political and religious ideology on Americans. As an anarchist organization the ACLU is atheistic in nature no matter what it’s supporters may claim. I fight against them and the atheist religion that has been established by our government. I understand our government like most wants to be God but the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. Declaration declares it is subject to the Law of Nature and Nature’s God.

We are who we are and do not harbor any delusion beyond that. What a frikkin’ genius you are to tell a self-described group of right-wingers that they are right-wingers. That you claim the NYT is “widely endorsed” is to prove that you can’t analyze a not-very-complex point.
Stay tuned for a post I’ll put up that demonstrates exactly how fringe the positions of the ACLU are by extension, because they’re pretty much one in the same, the NYT are.
In regard to your “Christians are just as bad” — you display a typical myopia: 1) You bring up examples from half a millenia and a millenia ago, respectively. I’m talking about today. 2) No Christian today would support the “SI,” while Muslim “public opinion” is clearly trending toward jihadism today (the Crusades, while admittedly marked by excess and slaughter which cannot be excused in any era, was a response to what???? Marauding Islamists who’d overrun peaceful Christian lands. 3)You obviously possess no knowledge of near-unanimously accepted modern Christian theology which honors FREE WILL bestowed on humanity by God (you know, the type of theology that was responsible for the founding of this country). Yes, Christians pray that everyone is saved, but Islamists today and always have a little different view and carry this out in a way you can’t tack onto Christians.
Glib,
Christians can and have been as brutal to people of other religions as Muslim extremists are today. Here are some examples to correct your own myopia.
The Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda.
The National Liberation Front of Tripura in India
The Army of God here in the US.
What is so hard for you to understand?
There is NO, I repeat, NO WORLDWIDE Christian movement to slaughter all non-believers on the road to total world domination. You are required to seek out isolated fringe groups whose actions and “theology” do not resemble that of modern Christians in ANY way — I can say emphatically that while LRA and AOG claim to be “Christian” they are not. They are Christians just like you are seven-foot woman in a track suit. I know nothing about the Indian group and do not have time to research, but again, from the link you provided, they seem to be a nothing group that has no sway over modern Christian thought and action.
Islamism IS what Islam is today because it is the most powerful and controlling force in Islam.
Why is this all so hard for you to understand?
It is interesting the groundskeeper Willie considers I a paranoid when all I do is voice an opinion he disagrees with. I find those who accuse the government as being part of a Conspiracy to blow up the World Trade center as paranoid. Most of them seem to be on the Left.
I am not sure what statements of mine he finds the same.
