World War Three

 

When citizens from around the world were deliberately targeted and murdered by al-Qaeda on September 11th 2001, war was declared. It was declared not only on the United States, but on every other free country in the world. Including New Zealand. It wasn't the first time civilians have been targeted by al-Qaeda, nor was it the last. It was the most daring and blatant attack. It was not in response to wrongs commited against innocents. It had nothing to do with Israel or the Palestinians (who came from Jordan, by the way). It was a direct reprisal for Saudi Arabia hosting the US military during the first Gulf War. And now Iran lends material support to al-Qaeda. The same Iran that has publicly pledged to destroy America and Israel, and to establish a world-wide Islamic state. The same Iran that is actively seeking a nuclear weapons program. The same Iran that is sending its own elite special forces 'Quds' force into Iraq along with sophisticated arms and munitions, as well as training for the al-Qaeda forces in Iraq. The Quds force works directly for clerics at the highest levels of the Iranian government. Quds force operatives are responsible for murdering Iraqis and Americans who are operating under the authority of the lawfully elected government. That is a declaration of war. Not just on Iraq or America, but on every country with an interest in a stable middle east and a wish to be free. And they are allies and supporters of al-Qaeda. The following (from wikipedia) is a list of reasons the world is at war with al-Qaeda.

How long will the list of casualties need to be before the world realizes its at war?

Fundamentalist Islam and Nazism

In the 1930's, the Nazis perfected the art of infiltrating nations they planned to conquer by spreading lies, confusion, and political unrest, and it worked perfectly as one European country after another. confused and distracted by these "Fifth Column" elements, fell easily into Nazi hands.



These Fifth Columnists even reached the United States. The most visible was the German-American Bund. After Hitler's rise to power in 1933, some German-Americans formed groups who attempted to influence American politics. They wore uniforms and swastikas and pledged themselves to the Fuhrer, promoting hatred fot Jews and working to bring Nazism to the United States. They even stormed the German language New Yorker Staats-Zeitung with the demand that Nazi-sympathetic articles be published. They also created recreational camps such as Camp Siegfried in New York, Camp Nordland in New Jersey, and Camp Hindenburg in Wisconsin. They met frequently in Milwaukee and Chicago beer halls. They created an American version of the Hitler Youth that educated children in the German language and history, and Nazi philosophy. They even handed Aryan pamphlets outside of Jewish owned businesses and spawned several incidents of violence against Jewish-Americans and Jewish-owned businesses.



The Corvinius Library of Hungarian History writes that resistance to the Nazis infiltration tactics was weak through free Europe's disunity and perplexed by the appeasement of Western diplomacy. In addition, the free nation's social ills and national strife were skillfully exploited by Nazi diplomacy and propaganda.



The Hungarian Library article states that the spearheads of Nazi infiltration were the many large German minorities in those countries who readily embraced the ideas of national-socialism. In fact, Hitler's program appealed to many malcontents, irrespective of nationality, who were dissatisfied with the existing social or political order. The revisionist governments, of course, agreed with Hitler's loudly proclaimed aim of undoing "the injustices of the peace treaties." But the defenders of the status quo, too, in their confused and disorganized state, more and more deemed it opportune to curry the favor of the new and powerful German Reich. First, their inner weaknesses undermined their individual power of resistance. Second, their strife with each other destroyed whatever abilities they had to join together.



Today, militant Islam has been very successful at the same thing. To a large extent, Muslims who immigrate to non-Muslim countries make no effort to assimilate, and in fact are encouraged in this by liberal and PC forces waving the banner of cultural diversity. They even separate themselves in enclaves where local police are afraid to venture.



What about attempts to influence mainstream media as the Bund did with the New Yorker Staats-Zeitung? The Mohammed cartoon controversy is a good example of Islam doing the same. Free speech runs counter to Islamic beliefs.



And what about the Nazi 'recreational camps'? Around the free world, there have been madrasses & mosques set up that preach the violent teaching of Militant Islam to Muslim students. And just as the Bund created an American version of the Hitler Youth, the madrasses and mosques in the free world are doing the same to their children, teaching not Western values but those of radical Islam and the promotion of anti-Semitism. Even prisons have become fertile grounds for recruiting the troops of jihad.



Home grown Jihadists work as Fifth Columnists using Europe's growing population of alienated Muslim and youth as an important reservoir of potential recruits while appeasing apologists for the Islamist agenda, like Hitler, cite the "injustices" that have been committed on the Muslim population of the world by the free democracies.



The fundamentalist face of Islam today represents... indeed loudly and proudly proclaims a grave threat to tolerant, appeasing Western culture.



Next: World War Three!

Iran Part Two

Last week, French President Jacques Chirac announced that even if Iran had a
few nuclear devices (for self-defence, according to Eric Margolis of the
Toronto Sun... there's a concept. The self defence nuke. Kind of like the
self defence apocalypse), "it is not very dangerous". I wonder if Margolis
would feel the same if the United States had vowed to wipe Toronto off the
map, and then went shopping for a nuke, simply for self-defence. Margolis
goes on to say that as he did in the lead up to the Iraq war, Chirac "spoke
with logic and good sense". For decades, liberals have denounced the concept
of Mutually Assured Destruction as, aptly, mad. Even as it proved to be the
concept in logic that saved the world from nuclear devastation ever since
the atomic bombings that ended World War Two in the pacific, liberals
insisted that evil conservatives who maintained the nuclear balance were
going to get us all killed. Now that that very balance helped to bring down
the Soviet Empire, the same liberals are clinging to the same philosophy to
defend the right of an evil theocracy to gain such weapons. Chirac says (and
Margolis agrees) that if Iran nuked Israel, they would be destroyed, and
certainly they wouldn't commit national suicide. So first off, France is
granting Iran the right to destroy Israel, so long as it's willing to face
the consequences, and secondly, Mutually Assured Destruction is only MAD
when a conservative talks about it. That would seem to be the message. Maybe
Mr Margolis would feel differently if the Twin Towers had been in Toronto.

Let me repeat from last week. Ahmadinejad doesn't care if Iran is destroyed.
He wants to destroy America and Israel, and he is taking steps to do just
that. It has nothing to do with politics. It has to do with perverted
religion and most likely a chemical imbalance in his brain. And if you think
that it has nothing to do with New Zealand, you're mistaken. Just like the
Japanese reached Australia following the attack on Pearl Harbor in World War
Two, and in fact had flown over and planned an attack on New Zealand, the
attack in New York killed New Zealanders, a nuclear strike on Israel (and
the war that will follow) will reach the South Pacific.

I have here two excerpts from a fascinating letter by David W. of
Dannevirke. The first shows just how close to home radical Islam is.

Last Friday afternoon I drove down Cook St in Palmerston North and passed
the Islamic Centre at the time when an event there had finished. Stopped
by traffic I was interested to note the large number of young men (50 to 60)
milling about on the footpath. I also noted that three children were forced
to cross the road to pass this mob as they were apparently denied passage by
the crowd. That scene made me feel distinctly uncomfortable.

This excerpt quotes statements made by Dr. Tawfik Hamid, who is forced to
live in secret for fear of his life.

Dr. Hamid, medical doctor, author and activist was once a member of Egypt's
Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya (Arabic for "the Islamic Group"), a banned terrorist
organization. He was trained under Ayman al-Zawaheri, a lieutenant of Bin
Laden, who tells the world that Islamic violence will stop only when the
whole world becomes Muslim. Dr Tawfik Hamid speaks of the deliberate and
determined expansion of militant Islam and its intention to triumph not only
in the Islamic world but in Europe and North America. "Muslim terrorists
kill and slaughter not because of what they experience but because of what
they believe." Dr. Hamid is now 45 years old, and has had many years to
reflect on why he was willing to die and kill for his religion. "The first
thing you have to understand is that it has nothing, absolutely nothing, to
do with poverty or lack of education," he says. "I was from a middle-class
family and my parents were not religious. Hardly anyone in the movement at
university came from a background that was different from mine. I've heard
this poverty nonsense time and time again from Western apologists for Islam,
most of them not Muslim by the way. Most of those who do the killing are
wealthy, privileged, educated and free. If it were about poverty, ask
yourself why it is middle-class Muslims and never poor Christians who become
suicide bombers in Palestine." Dr Hamid states that the expansion of violent
and aggressive Islam began in the late 1970's and can be traced to the
growing financial clout of Saudi Arabia. "We're not talking about a fringe
cult here. Salafist [fundamentalist] Islam is the dominant version of the
religion and is taught in almost every Islamic university in the world. It
is puritanical, extreme and does, yes, mean that women can be beaten,
apostates killed and Jews called pigs and monkeys." The violence is not
about Israel, not about Iraq, not about Afghanistan. They are mere excuses.
Algerian Muslim fundamentalists murdered 150,000 other Algerian Muslims,
sometimes slitting the throats of children in front of their parents. This
had nothing to do with Israel's treatment of the Palestinians or about
American foreign policy." Dr. Hamid says, "Stop asking what you have done
wrong. Muslims are slaughtering Westerners like sheep and you still look
within. You criticize your history, your institutions, your churches. Why
can't you realize that it has nothing to do with what you have done but with
what they want." Quotes from Michael Coren, National Post, Canada. And what
they want is total dominion. Islam is never satisfied to be one religion
among many. It has to be supreme; the one and only. "...the (only)
religion (acceptable) before God is Islam." Surah 3:19. Within Islam,
freedom of religion is never an option. Allah says, "If anyone desires a
religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him." Surah 3:85.

Finally, David adds this:

Hence we have in Palmerston North the Muslim member of Parliament agitating
to have the cross removed from the war memorial tower in the Palmerston
North Civic Square. that is just for starters.

David is very sensible, and I'm really happy to have his input and feedback.
Radical Islam is and has been working hard in New Zealand, and ignoring and
appeasing it won't make it go away. Keep at it, David. People need to hear
this, and while I'm glad for the education, I'm also happy to spread the
word. Readers, I want to hear from you about this... even if you disagree.

Evil in Iran

I was going to talk about moral cowardice on an individual basis, and the effect it is having on the current generation of children, but I'd rather include and comment on a letter from David W.:

Hi.
Very interesting to read your article and see that you have aquired a copy of "Because They Hate." I suspect that the message is falling on deaf ears due to PC. Two other books that you might find interesting - "Londinistan" by Melanie Phillips, Encounter Books, NY, ISBN I-59403-144-4. "While Europe Slept: How Radical Islam Is Destroying the West From Within" by Bruce Bawer, Doubleday, ISBN 13: 978-0-385-51472-9.
"Inside Al Qaeda, Global Network of Terror" by Rohan Gunaratna, Scribe Publications, Melbourne, makes it very clear that Jemaah Islamiyah has infiltrated our region and terror cells are well entrenched in New Zealand.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers
David W.

David makes a fantastic point here. The PC crowd that was once just an annoyance has become one of the most dangerous weaknesses in our society. We worry so much about not offending people that we ignore some groups who want nothing more than to destroy us. It all sounds melodramatic, but in fact its true. The regime in Iran is bent on unleashing nuclear weapons on the region, and specifically on Israel. Think I'm exaggerating? Ahmadinejad has said openly on his own country's airwaves that he intends to destroy... not defeat, not invade, but to annihilate the United States and then Israel. Think he can't do it? He's doing everything he can to build a nuclear bomb. And with Saudi Arabia lowering the price of oil (and Iran's principal source of revenue, by the way), he is in negotiations with Russia to buy a bomb. To put all this down as paranoia is the worst kind of head-in-the-sand attitude. The world saw it before, in the 1930's as Hitler began to swallow up bits of Europe. How long will the world wait before it confronts the evil in Iran? How long do we appease someone who has said he wants to destroy us?

And just in case you think this is only a problem for countries closely allied to the United States (I know of what I speak. A Dannevirke resident responded to the London subway bombings by saying that anyone close to the United States should expect to get bombed), well, look closer to home. Ayman Al Zawahiri has been to New Zealand twice, and Al Qaeda members learned to fly at Palmerston North. New Zealand may have once been quiet and secluded and off the radar screen, so to speak, but not anymore. Once the bigger targets have been taken out, the smaller ones will fall quickly.

I had a quick look into "While Europe Slept", and here is what I found. Bruce Bawer, who previously addressed American fundamentalism in "Stealing Jesus", and gay rights in "A Place At the Table" now turns to European liberalism. After moving to Europe in 1998 and settling in a mostly Muslim neighborhood, he discovered a society that offered "millions in aid, but not a penny in salary". Europe, which has suffered more than most from the lessons of the past, seems to have forgotten them more quickly than most. I'm looking forward to reading the book in more detail.

Thanks again, David, for writing. I've signed on with www.americancongressfortruth.com, and I advise anyone interested in some unfiltered truth to do the same. I intend to continue this dialogue as the media talking heads and the PC crowd and politico's continue their policy of ignore and appease. And quite frankly, I challenge any reader to provide a legitimate counterpoint. Send it to me at abukoff@gmail.com, and I'll include it in the next rant.
