These are dangerous times. The volume and ferocity of anti-American
chatter across the Internet have reached a level we have not seen since the days
leading up to 9/11. The radical Islamists, who would use violence against those
who do not accept their view of life, have become arrogant enough to bring their
savage methods to new depths of depravity. To understand this bolder enemy, we
must recognize what they are capable of.
Mumbai Last November, a handful of terrorists
came into Mumbai by stealth, and within hours brought a city of 18 million to
its knees. They attacked ten symbolic sites favored by tourists, murdered some
200 people, and left a wake of indescribable destruction, shattering thousands
of lives in their wake.
They singled out American, British, and Jewish targets, and ordered the terrorists to "kill to their last
breath". Many of their victims were savagely tortured before being murdered. So
brutal was the torture that experienced doctors who later examined the bodies
were in shock and could not find the words to even speak about
it.

Gaza In Gaza, Hamas brought a different kind
of terror into the news. Hamas fights her enemies with cowardice and unspeakable
cruelty. While terrorists have been given free reign to shell civilians living
in southern Israeli towns, they hide behind the women and children of Gaza,
drawing Israeli fire to its rocket launchers which are placed deep in densely
populated areas, putting their own people at mortal risk.
During the
last two years, nearly 6,000 rockets were fired from Gaza, aimed at schools and
homes, mostly in the little town of Sderot, which has taken the brunt of the
ceaseless barrage. Israel finally responded with a mighty attack to silence the
rockets that had plagued its citizens for the last eight years, and while the
number of rockets has been reduced, they did not stop, continuing to terrorize
the people of southern Israel.

The True
Face of Hamas There is now a mountain of documentation demonstrating
that over recent months, Hamas has acquired massive caches of weapons and
explosives which they stored in mosques, schools, and throughout residential
neighborhoods.
They have humiliated, brutalized, and murdered their
Christian and Fatah 'enemies' in cold blood. And after Israel dropped leaflets
in Gazan neighborhoods, urging civilians find shelter away from the aerial
attack, Hamas forced them back into their homes, preventing them from finding
safety from the bombs. No wonder the number of civilian casualties is so
high.
On December 24, in a final blow to any semblance of civilized
governance, Hamas passed a new penal code firmly rooted in Shari'a law. Among
the punishments that this new code enables are forty lashes for drinking wine,
cutting off hands for theft, and crucifixion for 'treason'.
Their
reversion to a seventh century penal code underscores their intention to achieve
ultimate power that will drive the lives of their people back into the dark
ages. The current plight of the people of Gaza can be laid
squarely at the feet of Hamas.
What This
Means for the West Hamas supporters have used the current conflict as
another excuse to stir the boiling cauldron of Islamist hatred against the
West. Their mantra of "Death to Israel, Death to America" feeds their frenzy
and has spawned demonstrations throughout the United States, demonstrations that
are growing increasingly hysterical and out of control.
Last week in New York City, seven police officers were hurt - two
with head wounds - when a pro-Hamas demonstration became violent.
In San
Francisco, pro-Hamas demonstrators shouted, "I want you to watch as I kill your
children, cover your children in their own blood! I want you to watch me blow
your children's brains out".
In Florida, a demonstrator screamed, "Go
back to the oven," referring to the murder of Jews in the Holocaust, "You need a
big oven, that's what you need."

Here in America, we watch these
events unfold as if we were viewing a new kind of reality show. But this is not
theater and we, who watch passively, as we sit comfortably in front of the
television, need to be alarmed.
It is difficult for Westerners to
comprehend the depth of hatred that radical Islamists feel against those who are
unwilling to adopt their faith. For them, multi-culturalism is not an acceptable
way of life, it is evil
Their view of life demands that we either convert
to their version of Islam, or die. They have made it plain
that their goal is to globalize jihad, and turn the world into a global Islamist state ruled under shari'ah law. For them, negotiation is
not an option, there is only one way, and there is nothing to
negotiate.
A few years ago, Abdurahman Alamoudi
presented himself as a so-called 'moderate' Muslim, and that he had a large
following. He was an open supporter of Hamas and Hezballah, yet so highly
esteemed that he had access to the White House (before he went to federal prison
for his role in an assassination plot against the Saudi Crown
Prince).
Not surprisingly, few took note when he told a Muslim conference
in Chicago, "Muslims sooner or later will be the moral leadership of America . .
. either we do it now or we do it after a hundred years, but this country will
become a Muslim country." It was one of many warnings that we
ignored.
Yousef al-Khattab, a NYC taxi driver, enjoys the benefits of
life in America, even as he runs a website called RevolutionMuslim.com. On his
website, he wrote, "We pray that we may witness the dismantlement of
western, secular dominance across the world as we hold it to
be pagan and idolatrous in the majority of its presumptions.
We seek a
resurrection of the just example set forth by centuries of Islamic rule
throughout the ages and we hold it to be self evident for the objective soul and
mind that Allah is One and that Muhammad ibn Abdullah is His Prophet and that
the religion offers the solution to all of the world's ills and afflictions." Is
anybody listening?
Radical Islam has taken a firm hold in our society.
Hamas is only one of an undetermined number of radical Islamic groups that aim
to do us harm. They have used the freedoms that they profess to hate to achieve
access to our universities, our industries, our government, and our collective
conscience.
They use our sense of fair play against us to impose their
moral superiority, and demand our sensitivity to their rights, while
simultaneously demanding that we forfeit our own.
So now, while
Christian children can no longer pray in school, the same schools have adopted
programs that teach our children what it is like to be Muslim, how they eat, and
how they pray.
There are now terrorist cells in virtually every state in
the union. Their aim is to globalize jihad, and replace
our
Constitution with the Koran, our penal code with shari'a law.
They range
from the well known names such as al Qaeda, Hizballah, Hamas, and the Muslim
Brotherhood (which masquerades under many other names), and
includes lesser known groups like Jamaat al-Fuqra, Darul Uloom, and Islamic
Jihad. Associated with these groups are not-for-profit front organizations
through which these groups launder money to support terroist activities.
For example, Jamaat al-Fuqra compounds have sprung up all over the
country to provide Muslim warriors with rural campuses for combat training.
Security is high and outsiders are not welcome.
Darul Uloom, the school
of Islam embraced by the Taliban, have active centers in Florida, Maryland,
Texas, Connecticut and New York.
And CAIR, which claims to be nothing
more than "a Muslim civil liberties and advocacy group", was named as an
un-indicted co-conspirator in the recent Holyland Foundation terrorist funding
trial, Never-the-less, it provides sensitivity training to the FBI.
Today, in unassuming Muslim centers in Brooklyn, NY; Jersey City, NJ;
Boston, MA; Fairfax, Virginia; and Dearborn, Michigan, jihad is being plotted,
while we bend over backwards to ensure that they are not
disturbed.
Today, we in America stand on the threshold of madness as we
allow our nation to be undermined by those who would destroy all that
generations of Americans have fought and died for.
The time is 1939 and
we are Europe denying the growing threat of the Third Reich. Here in America, it
is five minutes to midnight and it is time to wake up.

What is most appalling is the pervasive ignorance of what I call CINOs. These are "citizens in name only" and and they stand on street corners supporting Hamas. Does anyone understand that supporting a terrorist organization is tantamount to treason? These people do not even know the history of the region called Palestine, and that there is no true race called Palestinians. They are Arabs, from Saudi Arabia and elsewhere who moved into the area after the Israelites were cast out by others.
We are going to pay dearly with treasure and blood, right here in America, and these useful dupes are greasing the skids for our demise.
When the jihadists come after us and the CINOs here in the USA, I will shed no tears, nor share my food, ammo, and shelter.

Notice that most of the people carrying those posters are not Muslim but "Good Americans". That is what is scaring the Jewish community. Most of the people marching in the streets in Germany 1938 were "Good Germans".
