In
the 1300s, the most deadly plague, dubbed as Black Death swept through
Europe
killing more than 25 million people – one-forth of the continent’s
population. No one knew how to fight it because no one knew what causes it.
People started suspecting that cats were responsible for carrying the disease
and exterminated the cats. This was a mistake because the bubonic disease is
carried by rats and once cats were gone rats proliferated and made the plague
the worst calamity of mankind up to that day. So many people died because they
could not identify the source of the problem.
Today
we are facing a not very different situation. Islam is like bubonic plague. We
have to fight the plague, not the people who carry it. If these people pass the
stage of recovery and become terrorists and a hazard to our lives they must be
destroyed. But the enemy is Islam not those who are infected by it. All Muslims
are in peril, but all Muslims are not infected yet. All it takes to be infected
is to become acquainted with the Quran and take to heart what it says.
As
long as we are unwilling to recognize the source of the problem we won’t be
able to confront it. As long as we keep our collective heads in the sand we
won’t be able to see the truth.
Religious
fanaticism is not respecter of people. It is not just the Saudis, the Jordanians
or the Palestinians who are at risk. John
Walker Lyndh, nicknamed "The American Taliban" was an all American
kid who embraced Islam and became a terrorist. Everyone who has a brush
with Islam is at risk. Any Muslim can become a terrorist overnight. As long as
people believe Muhammad was a messenger of God, they are at risk of contracting
Islamic terrorist fever.
The
Chinese Strategist Sun Zi who wrote the "Art of War" said: "Know
thyself and know thy enemy." Our enemy knows us. He knows our
weaknesses. He knows about his "rights" among us. He takes full
advantage of democracy and operating within our system he plots our defeat. He
is smaller but smarter than us. He is winning because he is cunning and because
he knows us.
We
don’t know our enemy. We are too good, too trusting, too gullible. We cover
our ears so not to hear the truth because this truth is not politically correct.
We
are losing battle after battle with each terrorist act and eventually we will
lose this war, broke, because we are fighting a phantom and not the enemy
itself. It is only a matter of time that we exhaust our resources, run out of
gas and surrender.
Every Muslims is a time bomb. You never know how he would react when he reads
the Quran and learns what that book is demanding from him. Would he be shocked
and leave Islam aghast or would he convince himself that he is not allowed to
question the wisdom of Allah and become a terrorist? It is not wise to trust
Muslims, until they leave Islam.
We have two options. We either continue appeasing the Muslims to win them as
friends while more people die or we take Islam out of the Muslims.
The only humane option, in my view, is the deislamization of the world. This
disease must be eliminated before the sick can recover. Everyday we delay, more
lives will be lost and the prospect of a major war looms bigger.
The
enemy is Islam. It is not people, it is an ideology. It is this plague that we
have to fight and eradicate, not its potential victims. Many people are infected
by HIV but only a few get AIDS. Many people are Muslims, but only a few become
terrorists. But all those who are infected by Islam are in danger of becoming
terrorists.
Once
we recognize the enemy, defeating it would be easy. A few of us are fighting
this enemy. If we all joined hands – all the governments and all the people of
all religions – we would be able to defeat it in one generation. Yes, in one
generation! No bloodshed is needed. This is a promise, not a prophecy.
Why
it is not a prophecy? ... Because it won't happen unless we make it happen. Why
it is a promise? …Because if we do what we have to do, it will happen. We will
succeed.
We
must fight and eradicate this enemy before it brings us the biggest disaster
mankind has ever faced.... Anyone home?
Ignorance is lethal. Knowledge is the antidote.
