Muslim Hate

The transfer of control in Iraq last week ushered in a new era in Middle East politics. Now there's a representative government, offering freedom and liberty, in the heart of the Arab world.

Most of the Middle East is governed by oppressive Muslim regimes. These regimes, along with most of the Muslim world, are at war with Western civilization. There sole ambition is to see the entire world under Muslim control. Don't believe me? Let's take a look, courtesy of professor, columnist and author Walter Williams.


"At the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, several athletes were massacred. In 1979, the U.S. embassy in Tehran was taken over and 52 hostages held for more than a year. In 1983, U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut were blown up, killing 241 U.S. soldiers. In 1988, Pan Am flight 103 was bombed, killing 270 people. In 1993, there was the first bombing of the World Trade Center, and in 2001, it was reduced to rubble, killing more than 3,000 Americans. In 1998, U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed, resulting in more than 200 dead and 4,000 injured. Who are the people responsible for these and other wanton murders of innocents, including the recent barbaric beheading of two innocent men? They were all Muslims."

These people are fanatics. Fanatics who are not only willing to die, wanting to die, but who want to die while killing a few infidels. (By the way, are YOU a Muslim? If you answered no, then they consider you an infidel.)

Think of all the armed conflicts going on in the world. How many DON'T involve Muslims? They can't seem to get along with anyone: Spain, France, Britain, Israel, Turkey, Morocco, Indonesia, Chechnya, Bosnia, India, Tunisia, Somalia, Philippines...

Oh, and the USA.

Sticking our heads in the sand, hoping they'll leave us alone if we ignore them, is nothing more than suicide. The Libs in this country would have you believe that the Muslin world hates us because we impose in their business, trying to convert them to our ways.

Actually, they hate us because we exist. They loathe the fact that we share this planet without sharing their archaic, uncivilized belief system. They hate us for our freedoms, they hate us for our acceptance of others cultures and religions, they hate us for our power, might and influence.

They hate us. Not America, not the West, not Christians. They hate anyone who isn't like them.

We can't get so caught up in ourselves that we forget to protect ourselves from outside threats. Islam is a threat to our nation and our world. They claim to be a "religion of peace". Why haven't any peaceful Muslim leaders denounced their brethren for the beheading on Nick Berg? Where are the calls from peaceful Muslim leaders for all suicide bombings to end? If Islam is a peaceful religion, why don't their leaders refute the belief that suicide bombers get into heaven simply for killing infidels?

For all the talk, the Muslim world holds the greatest threat to world peace. For us to overlook it, and allow it to continue to grow, would be a fatal mistake.
