Living with the enemy

It's true that Palestine had an election and chose to vote in a party of terrorists. There's no dispute about that. Now they can stew in it. The mindset these people apparently have is that they don't know how to live without these oppressive methods. They have gotten used to being treated that way and don't know how to function without the leash on, much like an abused woman who won't leave her abuser. In addition, if you speak out against any of this, including Sharia law, you are dead. Plain and simple. Because, in essence, you are speaking against their religion and their prophet, which they all know and believe deserves the death penalty. It's in their Qur'an and it is taught in their mosques and shouted by and encouraged by their imams. It's a terrorist, oppressive, and ugly religion that no one is allowed to leave.

Now they come to our countries and believe that violent, intimidation routine will work on our governments and they can somehow manipulate our own laws to come up with the same system they love so dearly. They are going to use our freedoms that we genuinely believe in and fought for and many spilled their blood to gain and try to set up the same dysfunctional ideas for the Muslims that live among us. It's unbelievable what arrogance these people have.

It's like a disease. It can't be left to fester. Everyone needs to identify it and treat it or it will spread. They are depending on our kind spirits and tolerance and non-violent natures to help them in their quest. These are all weaknesses to them, but these characteristics are only commendable if you couple them with wisdom and knowledge. We need to really look at what's going on and understand what they are doing. Liberals should stop politicizing and get real about the situation. It's to our detriment. Stop catering to this evil mindset. If you can't identify your enemy and call a spade a spade, how can you eradicate it?
