The Islamic Hydra
By Rachel Neuwrith
Day
after day, fanatic Arabs/Muslims murder "the infidels" and
proudly profess their noble goal of spreading Islam and ruling the
world. Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, now --- perhaps
hundreds of millions later--- are driven by this ideology. Could a
world-wide Islamic hegemony usher in peace and prosperity?
Despite the Muslim world's natural resources and vast territory, they
are but a notch above the African Sub-Saharan expanse in scientific,
intellectual and humanistic achievements. This is a shameful
indictment. But shame, humiliation, guilt and responsibility are not
readily acknowledged by the Arab/Muslim world. Thus, we typically see
the "3-D Response"... Deflection, Deception, Denial. The
misery of the "Palestinians"? Blame Israel. The lack of
success and prosperity? Blame America. The failure of Islam to
"deliver the goods?" Blame the West.
And so Islamo-terror
continues unabated in Iraq, Indonesia, the Philippines, Afghanistan,
Madrid and elsewhere. There is no end in sight. Islam, the so-called
"Religion of Peace," is fast becoming a breeder of hatred
and an incubator of willing foot soldiers. It has neither boundaries
nor limits. Nor is there any semblance of humanity in their brutality.
The beating and hanging from a bridge over the Euphrates River of four
lifeless, mutilated charred American civilian bodies is the latest
graphic and indelible testimony of their inhumanity.
CIA director George
Tenet told the Senate Intelligence Committee a couple of months
ago:
The steady growth of Osama bin Laden's anti-American sentiment
through the wider Sunni (Muslim) extremist movement and the broad
dissemination of Al Qaeda's destructive expertise ensure that a
serious threat will remain for the foreseeable future, with or without
Al Qaeda in the picture.
Gen. Henri Bentegeat, head of France's
armed forces, recently spoke
in Paris and called Al Qaeda a "hydra with several
heads." He also said: "If we catch one head there will be
others."
Some of the many "heads" of this international Arab/Islamic
hydra include such notables as Osama Ben Laden, Yassir Arafat
(Israel's “peace partner”), Abu Sayyaf (Philippines), Sheikh
Muhammad Nasserallah (Hizb'Allah – the party of God) and Moqtada al-Sadr
(Iraqi Shiite Muslim cleric and Hizb’Allah-Iranian front
man in Iraq). These and many other
lesser known figures are supported and lionized by untold millions.
Some might say that
Islam has two
faces. In reality, it boasts as many faces as the hydra has heads!
We are all becoming acutely aware of the so-called "radical
Islamic." But is there such a thing as a "moderate" or
"secular" Muslim? Or is it merely a matter of the number of
degrees "cooler" they are compared to the boiling hot
radical center? Bear in mind the not-so-humorous definition of a
"moderate Palestinian:" An Arab who would murder Israel's
Jews moderately!"
Don't be misled into believing that "moderate"
voices can be heard from public relations propagandizing groups
such as Salem al Marayati's American Muslim Public Affairs Committee,
Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)
and many
other American Arabs/Muslims. They have two-fold agenda:
destroy Israel and Islamicize America.
Time and again
President Bush has promised that American will not falter and will
stay the course. But does he fully appreciate that, like that
multi-headed hydra, the course should be multi-directional? As
noble as it may be to attempt the introduction of democracy to those
who have neither a clue of what it really is nor an inkling of how to
sustain it, the real mission must continue to be, first and foremost,
the elimination of those who incite, encourage and deliver the kind of
barbaric Arab/Muslim/Islamic terrorism witnessed in Fallujah.
A tit-for-tat response is woefully inadequate. Just ask the Israelis!
Instead a hard lesson must be taught, in my opinion. Flatten Fallujah.
Scorch Southern Lebanon and her Hizb'Allah thugs. Give Arafat and
Khamanei the same one-way ticket recently issued to Sheikh Yassin and
Abdel Aziz Rantisi. Melt the sword of Islam before it truly hangs
over all of us like the the Sword of Damocles!
