Malcontents in the West-the Sword and the Pen

Submitted by Pigfoot (United States), Mar 20, 2006 at 13:01

The malcontent in our country that this article is about chose the sword (in this case an SUV) to vent his built up venom. As such these types are not too dangerous until the time comes when WMDs become available for all to use.
The real dangerous ones are the malcontents living amongst us who can wield the pen and bring out the hordes of bomb throwers that are just waiting. That is why this writer feels more afraid of "freedom of speech" than the WMD problem out on the horizon.
We should note that Hitler, Marx and Sayyid Qutb, malcontents all, wrote their treatises in a very nice "free speech" surrounding. The first two's machinations came close to ending our genteel way of life in the West.
The last noted malcontent, Qutb, lived as a malcontent in the USA for at least two years. Qutb, an Egyptian and an seminal member of the Muslim Brotherhood wrote that " war must be made against any ruler who did not rule by Islamic law" ( the Shariah). That is exactly what is going on now in the world. The "plan" is first to do away with the non-Islamic rulers that are friends with the West. Take a guess as to who will be done away with next.
