Targeting Militant Islam

Submitted by Arlinda DeAngelis (United States), Jan 26, 2003 at 11:38

There has never been one demonstration by Islamists in America, especially in New York City, condemning Militant Islam and/or terrorism. There are, however, many demonstrations and television commentators condemning the United States government for profiling Arabs, defending Israel and the impending war with Iraq. Imperial Islam is alive and well in this country and will, given the opportunity, strike again and the Arab street will cheer again.

America is a free and open democratic society with individual freedoms and rights. Islam is a closed and tyrannical society demanding that individuals remit their personal power to a shiek, mullah or an ayotollah. Militant Islam is not different in America except that here, there is a greater opportunity to kill more Americans.

It was in the name of Islam that nineteen Saudi terrorists traveled half way around the world to kill more than three thousand innocent and freedom loving Americans on September 11. Yet, they co-exist, tolerate and receive financial support from their neighbor, the Iraqi butcher of Bhagdad who killed, mutilated and genetically destroyed future generations of Kurds, Kuwaitis and Iranians. Also tolerated and defended are corrupt political leaders such as Arafat and Kadafy who have stolen and personally enriched themselves at the expense of other Islamics. These sociopathic killers and corrupt politcal leaders are both tolerated and defended among Islamists, while they call for the murder of innocent freedom-loving Americans and Israelis.

Imperial Islam does not belong in America.
