Geography, Division & Western Civilization

Once the Age-Of-Migration ended in Europe (c 900 AD), that part of the Euro-Asian land mass began a period of divisions into, very many, political units divided, often by geography, who were in often constant wars (And other forms of competition)..It may be that age did not end until c 1945..

That age was marked by:
1. Intense development of weapons, strategy and tactics, from the level of "craft" to that supported by engineering-and-science as NOT seen in other parts of the World which was typically dominated by large political or ideological blocks (eg China, Islam); And,
2. Intense development of ideas,from theology to science, as supported by logic (nb Try and work your way through such Medieval works as St. Thomas' Summa Contra Gentiles or Bertrand Russell's far more recent The Principles Of Mathematics) which led to the advances in Medicine and other forms-of-engineering which erupted out of real universities [ie Not found outside of Europe,Canada, Israel and the USA except as, sometimes pale, copies AND to like, idea generating, military establishments in more recent times (eg The science of epidemics as rooted in US military research c 1900)].

I may well be that the "Nationalism", in Europe, the USA and Israel, has supported those developments.

I am sorry to note that the cited level of idea-generation and foundation-of-logic is being destroyed  or limited, those Western Universities, by "political correctness"---Which is neither based on logic nor on such ideas as are subject to scientific (ie Reliable and valid) tests.

USA's Imams: KILL THE JEWS!!!

A Texan cleric has become the latest American imam to call for Muslims to kill Jews. Sheikh Raed Saleh Al-Rousan, founder of the Tajweed Institute of Houston gave the incendiary speech at his mosque on December 8 that has just emerged. The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) translated the video, which was shared and reported on by Algemeiner.

Al-Rousan was objecting to President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move America’s embassy there.

“Judgment day will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews,” Sheikh Raed Saleh Al-Rousan thundered, quoting a famous hadith (saying of the Islamic prophet Mohammed.) “The Muslims will kill the Jews, and the Jews will hide behind the stones and the trees, and the stones and the trees will say: Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him, except for the Gharqad tree, which is one of their trees.”

“The hour [i.e. Judgment Day] will not start until Muslims fight the Jews there, in Palestine. And they know that fact. And the Muslims will have the victory.”

Earlier in the speech he said Jews “killed the prophets and the messengers of Allah” and altered the Torah. He also accused Jews of having no connection to the land of Israel.

Al-Rousan is a Jordanian national who arrived in the United States in 2007. He founded the Tajweed Institute “to spread the skills of Tajweed [proper recitation of the Qur’an] to all Muslims, young and old.”

Al-Rousan declined to clarify his position and whether or not it reflects the position of the Tajweed Institute when asked to do so by Algemeiner.

Pope Francis Supports Tyranny

Pope Francis has failed to condemn the tyrant who mis-rules Venezuela and, by some views, supports him.

He has also, recently, betrayed the real Catholics in the "Peoples Republic (sic) of China by allowing its Atheist, also tyrants, rulers authority over the appointment of bishops and other matters.

He has recently also supported the criminal-terrorist ideology called "Islam" by his visit to Qatar as is ruled under Islamic law (Which is opposed to the best principles of justice) and by those committed to the basic goal of Islam and Muslims---The destruction of all, true, religions, rule by only Muslim males, and full civil rights to only them. That treason to truth and Christ's people was aggravated by the Catholic-Muslim statement signed during that visit.

Some Revolutionary & Other Wars UPDATED

Some recent comments (eg "The New Divide In American Politics"; First Things (On Line); 23 May 2018) have pointed out the growing divide in our Republic as perhaps based, in part, on "Religion vs. Not-Religion".

I suggest that the cited division is also based on:
1. Constitutional Laws and "equal justice under law" vs. mob rule;
2. Supporters of the intent of the authors of the 1789 Constitution, The Bill Of Rights and of statutory law as the standard vs. those supporting judges "making and inflicting law and amending our Constitution from the bench";
3. Such Natural Law rights as allow innocent targets of violent criminal attack to immediately use deadly force to stop any "clear and present danger of death or great bodily harm" when civil authorities are not able (And sometimes unwilling to do so) to put immediate halt to such threats. [This right may demand the use of deadly force in protecting those who are unable to do so; And, by extension, the right to immediate access to those weapons as allow them to exercise that right and perform that duty (ie Modern, concealable and effective firearms) as so much opposed by the leadership of the Democratic (sic) Party which disorganization is on one side of the noted divide.];
4. Those who support the fullest exercise of "free speech: (ie The necessary, but not sufficient, basis of "Academic Freedom") as allows even the most provoking expression of ideas vs. those who would totally censor what they consider "hate speech"or, even, "disturbing", expressed, ideas.

Today's divisions, in the USA, appear to be approaching those as were existant in the 1770s and the 1850s as led to bloody war.

Those divisions have resulted in wars-between-states as in Central Europe's "Wars of Religion" and our own "War Between The States" as often putting contesting peoples in more-or-less distinct areas.

Our nation's first Revolutionary War, like Spain in the 1930s, was a "Civil War" with the various factions less clearly divided by geography---Especially in its early stages. In Spain the "left" did tend to group in-and-about Catalonia and the forces of Franco and his allies in other places. [The present divisions in the USA are nation wide, but with more weight to the left in our West Coast states and in a few other places as Illinois, New York State and Maryland along with a number of cities/counties ruled by Democrats. They, more generally follow the pattern set by Spain at the beginning of its civil war than the USA in 1860.] 

At this time the State government of California is in such a "resistance" to Federal authority as was the case in the South in 1859-60 lacking only one, severe, violent act to make its officials guilty of "Treason" as defined by our Constitution and place California and any supporting jurisdictions in a "State Of Rebellion" as would warrant constitutional imposition of martial law along with suspension of Habeas Corpus, military removal of illegal aliens from the USA to to internment camps, use of volley-fire to suppress mobs, courts martial, and other means towards limiting the spread of rebellion to other strongholds of "the left" (As, otherwise, might yield a true "civil war").

Such a conflict might well result in "The Right" using its great advantage in the private possession of modern firearms to privately "liquidate" their opponents---Which may be basic to the Democrats' Jihad against a well armed citizenry.

Here, please note that the vast majority of modern (ie Police & Military grade) firearms privately held in the USA are in the possession of those "on the right".

Returning to the matter of "religion" v. "not-religion" it appears that: Removing the matrix of Christianity (As based on the teachings of the Jews) from its role of support in what was once Western Civilization in Western nations leaves a gap filled by a most arrogant Atheism as essentially against humane behavior (eg Abortion becoming infanticide) as the spread of the horrid commands of orthodox Islam. In this era, this is most exactly demonstrated by Sweden where both have rotted away real "Charitas", personal freedoms and self-determination in favor of obedience in the style described in the novel 1984. THAT "RELIGION OF ATHEISM" , AS OPPOSED TO THE BEST PRINCIPLES OF JEWS AND CHRISTIANS, IS NOW A CORE, IF HIDDEN, PART OF THE REAL PLATFORM OF THE USA's DEMOCRATIC-SOCIALIST PARTY.

Immigration And The Chirst---Updated

A prior (Since removed from office for "gross misconduct") Cardinal-Archbishop of Los Angeles and many other Catholic “leaders” have made claims that Jesus the Christ would have supported open-borders and free immigration into the USA.

That is a lie!

First, Jesus' kingdom was NOT of this world. How do I know? He said so himself! There is very little in the Gospels with direct application to government as opposed to the great number of verses addressed to the redemption of individuals and preaching His Word to the nations.

The most direct statement as to government was the classic “Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's”. At the time of Jesus citizenship and residency in the Empire did, in fact, belong to Caesar and the Roman Senate. Through time that, in the USA, has passed to the Congress 

Pope Francis & Islam

After considering Pope Francis' latest self-removal from reality-and-truth by his various comments about Islam. I must declare that he is insane or senile or ignorant or pathologically lying about Islam and violence.

 First, the core-and-unalterable teachings of the criminal-terrorist ideology called "Islam" very much support the use of murderous violence against: Those who do not join that Nazi-like movement; And, within that disease, against those who hold local control of it or equally guilty governments. It appears that the Pope has not read the Koran (As I have), Hadith and Sharia OR is (For the pathological reasons listed above) is not applying that knowledge-and-reality to his statements.

Secondly, the 1400-year history of Islam, to this day, provide the examples of an uncountable number of orthodox Muslims who evilly inflict those horrid commands on their victims as individuals or pairs or bands or semi-nations or true nations. Those criminals are encouraged or allowed or commanded to use murder, rape, genocide, torture and other horrors to "serve" Islam---And, to satisfy their illicit lusts.

 Thirdly, those in civilized (ie Not ruled under Sharia) nations who commit such crimes as the Pope assigns to Italy do so in violation of the well known laws of their nations and are, most certainly, not given Islam's approval of such horrors for those waging its "Perpetual War" (Jihad).

 The lessons-of-history ( and current events clearly demonstrate that the only means of effectively "communicating" with such Muslims is by the effective use of deadly force---As defined and approved by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (A "Doctor Of The Church") in his De Laude Militae Novae .

 By his statements and deniing-of-reality Pope Francis makes himself co-guilty with the above-cited monsters.

The Good Shepherd Jesus VS. The Wolves

Jesus the Christ very firmly declared that He was the "Good Shepherd". What then does such a person do when wolves attack to take away or kill the sheep, lambs and (Like myself) "old goats" of his flock? Why, any good shepherd will use his rod and staff (Both weapons!) or, like the Psalmist David some other weapon (eg A projectile weapon called the sling) to drive away or, better yet to prevent future predation, kill the wolves. The good shepherd will realize that it is useless to "reach out" to wolves or to forgive them as they remain what they are and that without mercy or consideration of the rights of the shepherd or his charges NOR any willingness to reform even if "forgiven". Jesus described himself as such to a People who knew exactly what a "Good Shepherd" would do when His flock was attacked.

Today, those wolves who attack Jesus' flocks are usually: Those who obey the horrid teachings of the false prophet Mohammed; Aggressive "secular humanists" (ie Atheists) who use the force (Too often of civil law) to inflict their goals upon Christians and other believers; And, that especially rabid sub-group, those who perform elective abortions and those who support them.

Those of us who are willing to be "Assistant Good Shepherds" (Or even sheep/guard dogs) in the defense of the flocks of innocents should recall what good shepherds do as to predatory wolves! Attack and destroy!

Unalterable & Violent Commands Of Islam

Listed below are a few passages from the Quran that clearly compel Muslims to violence.  

Quran 2:191 “Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them.”
Quran 3:28   “Muslims must not take the infidels as friends.”
Quran 3:85   “Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable.”
Quran 5:33   “Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam.”
Quran 8:12   “Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Quran.”
Quran 8:60   “Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels.”
Quran 8:65   “The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them.”
Quran 9:50   “When opportunity arises kill the infidels where you find them.”
Quran 9:30    "The Jews and Christians are perverts, fight them."
Quran 9:123  “Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood.”
Quran 22:19  “Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water, melt their skin and bellies.
Quran 47:4    “Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them.

Muslims & Lying For Jihad

Islam Permits Lying to Deceive Unbelievers and Bring World Domination!

Muslims lie when it is in their interest to do so and “Allah” will not hold them accountable for lying when it is beneficial to the cause of Islam. They can lie without any guilt or fear of accountability or retribution. A lie in the defense of Islam is approved even applauded in their “holy” books.

By Don Boys, Ph.D.

al-Taqiyya:
deception; the islamic word for concealing or disguising one’s beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies.
It is impossible to understand Islam and Muslims by listening to their protestations against terror and their proclamations of patriotism for America. Usually, it is wise and fair to give people the benefit of the doubt but when it comes to national safety and the future of America, we had better look twice, even thrice at Muslim patriotism. Why? Because Islam permits lying! It is called “Al-taqiyya.” One Muslim said that Al-taqiyya means dissimulation then he expanded it to diplomacy but he should have gone further to deception. Now some Muslims who do not follow the Koran are as faithful Americans as any of us, but the problem is, we cannot know.

Muslims lie not because they are liars by nature but by choice. Systematic lying as a religious policy is deadly, and if our politicians do not understand this, thousands could die.

It seems our President and his advisors are clueless as to the desires, doctrines, and distinctives of Islam. While I feel a little audacious in giving advice to national leaders, it is necessary since no one else is doing it. Muslims lie not because they are liars by nature but by choice. Systematic lying as a religious policy is deadly, and if our politicians do not understand this, thousands could die.
Muslims lie when it is in their interest to do so and “Allah” will not hold them accountable for lying when it is beneficial to the cause of Islam. They can lie without any guilt or fear of accountability or retribution. A lie in the defense of Islam is approved even applauded in their “holy” books.
Muslims are permitted to lie: (1) to save their lives, (2) to reconcile a husband and wife, (3) to persuade a woman into a bedroom and (4) to facilitate one on his journey. Muslims are even permitted to disavow Islam and Mohammed if it is not a genuine heart-felt rejection. Muslims will tell you that concealment of a truth is not an abandonment of that truth if it benefits Islam.
Mohammed gave permission for a follower to lie in order to kill a Jewish poet who had offended Mohammed. I could provide many examples of permissible lying from the Koran and Hadith and will do so when my critics accuse me of hatred and bigotry because of this column. My motives are not important but the truth is. However, many unprincipled people do not consider truth important. It is political correctness that sits on the throne to be worshiped.
Muslims may appear very sincere; in fact, they are sincere, when they lie for their own protection or in the cause of Islam. They have permission to lie. Yes, Christians have also lied but never are they given permission to lie. However, a Muslim has no guilt since the Koran and Hadith permit his deception.

Muslims have no hope for eternal salvation without their good works, so they must keep working to advance Islam. If a few lies will accomplish that goal, then lying is not bad but good. If they can get good publicity for Islam by lying, then lying is acceptable, even desirable.

They will lie to make Islam more attractive to potential converts as they speak of “no compulsion in religion” while all of them know that verse was abrogated by later verses. They will quote verses that speak of tolerance and kindness knowing that those verses were written when Mohammed was desirous of “tolerance and kindness,” but when he climbed into the catbird seat, everything changed and he became a terrorist.
Muslims have no hope for eternal salvation without their good works, so they must keep working to advance Islam. If a few lies will accomplish that goal, then lying is not bad but good. If they can get good publicity for Islam by lying, then lying is acceptable, even desirable. The Muslim is earning his way to heaven by lying to a non-Muslim.
Unlike Christians who are saved once for all by the grace of God through faith in Christ’s propitiatory death, no Muslim knows for sure if his works are good enough for Heaven. The only Muslim who knows for sure that his eternal destiny is secure and he will drop into a delightful garden filled with 72 virgins on soft green cushions is the one who dies while “taking out” unbelievers in Islam.
Most Muslims will not have the “opportunity” to become a martyr in this war between Islam and the rest of the world and make no mistake every true Muslim must be involved in making America (or the nation where he lives) a Muslim nation. Since Muslims are limited in their ability to die for the cause, they can help the cause by supporting terrorists with money, succor, and cover. Sure, they are aiding terror against the U.S. but since they believe they are doing Allah’s will, then any deception is acceptable.
How should this affect America’s war on terror? Officials must look closely at every Muslim chaplain in the military and in our prisons; also look at those involved in the CIA, FBI, and other sensitive areas; look at all Arabic translators, military or civilian; look at all Muslim employees at the Pentagon, White House, atomic power plants, and in Congress; look at all civilian Muslim pilots; look at Muslim clerics in all U.S. mosques. In other words, get serious about this war before our cities are rubble.
Our President must stop playing the game of “Let’s Stop the Terrorists” and get serious by going to the heart of the matter. This war on terror is a religious matter and could become a Hundred Years’ War. To resurrect an old slogan: You can trust the Muslims to be Muslims. They are lying their way to world domination!

Obama Supports Jihad

Mr. Obama was willing to send F-16s and our most modern armored vehicles to Egypt as long as the Muslim Brotherhood, supporters of violent JIhad against the USA,  all Christians (Most specially the Copts in Egypt)  other civilized peoples/nations, were in control of that nation.  Now that that terrorist-organization is out-of-power, his Administration is retreating from support for the Egyptian military, the only force capable of providing order, other than than inflicted by the followers of jihad, in that nation.

While the civil war in Syria was in doubt AND when there were revolutionaries there who were not controlled by Jihad supporting Islamists, Mr. Obama's Administration was unwilling to ship weapons to rebels. Now that there is a chance that the present and legal government may be overthrown AND revolutionary groups appear to be in control of Muslim terrorists, he may ship them such weapons (Including AA rockets which could easily bring down one of our air liners, over an American city).

Any Administration "excuse" that such a halt is only in obedience to a law prohibiting such shipments to, in this case Egypt, does not stand up to the many instances in which Mr. Obama and his co-actors have refused to obey-and-enforce other democratically enacted laws.

Effective Communications With Muslims

EXAMPLES Of Effective Communications With Muslims::   Tours (732 AD); Las Navas de Tolosa (1212 AD); Granada (1492 AD); Lepanto (1571 AD); Chocim/Khotym (1621 AD); Vienna (1683 AD);  The USA's campaigns (1805-1815) against the Islamist Barbary pirates; Navarino (1827 AD); The State Of Israel's various defensive wars and other actions from 1948 to this date, Etc..

Effective Communications With Muslims

There have been too many whining and sniveling for "reaching out" for more and better communications with Muslims. There have been such communications in the past at such places as: Tours (732 AD); Las Navas de Tolosa (1212 AD); Granada (1492 AD); Lepanto (1571 AD); Chocim/Khotym (1621 AD); Vienna (1683 AD); The USA's campaigns against the Islamist-Pirates of the Barbary States (1805-1815); Navarino (1827 AD); Israels various and defensive wars from 1948 on (Just in case you ask, I am not of the Jewish Faith nor do I have any financial interests in the State of Israel); Multinational mini-campaigns against the Islamist Pirates operating off the Muslim Sudan and in other places in more recent years; Etc..

NO OTHER FORMS OF COMMUNICATIONS APPEAR TO "GET THROUGH" TO MUSLIMS.

Islam Defined---Revised

A Short Lesson As To Islam

THIS BOILS DOWN THE MINIMUM DATA NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND ISLAM.

Defining Islam---Again

1. Islam is NOT a religion; But, is a criminal-terrorist movement-or-ideology not far
different from the KKK or Nazi-Party (Sharing the same principles of hate-of-Jews and all real religions, use of violence and the other horrors taught in Mein Kampf and the Koran;
2. Islam (Like the KKK, Mafia and the SS brand of Nazism) has/had a very thin veneer of religion;
3. The false-prophet Mohammed (Who was a murderer, liar and treaty breaker, bandit and the perverted sexual abuser of a nine-year-young girl-child) declared perpetual war against all "unbelievers" (Until they join Islam or accept the slave-like state of dhimmitude), a war which continues in our era in the Sudan, Thailand, parts of the Philippines,,Fort.Hood and New York City on "9/11";
4. Most Mosques are, to some extent, funded by the most regressive, medieval and anti-civilization branch of Islam (ie Wahhabism) and use that sect's hate literature, much printed in Saudi Arabia;
5. Lying to "unbelievers" is one of the standard and common responses of Muslims to any questions, about their ideology, from "unbelievers", including before the Courts in the USA whose authority Muslims do NOT recognize;
6. Muslims "behave themselves" ONLY until their part of any local, regional or national population reaches certain levels (eg France; "Londonistan"; the Nordic nations; Dearborn, Michigan);
7. The true believers of Islam must believe that the words of the the Koran are directly from its Allah (Not the same as Arabic speaking Christians) and, along with the sayings and examples of Mohammed, are totally binding on them;
8. The declared goals of Islam include: The destruction or effective suppression of all ideologies other than itself and of all real religions; Rule of all nations by only Muslims; Replacement of all legal systems other than Sharia; Subjection of all women and all non-Muslims to the will of male Muslims; And, the other horrors of that Nazi like movement.
9. The allowed, approved and too often commanded methods of Islam and Muslims to achieve those goals include: Murder and mutilation; Rape and enslavement; Genocide;
Perpetual war with "unbelievers" until they become Muslims or accept the slave-like state of "dhimmitude"; Lying to "unbelievers" as the approved and commanded tactic of Muslims as to "pointed questions" regarding Islam; AND, the consideration of any resistance to or complaints about Islam as an attack which the "faithful" are required to counter-attack, very often by physical attack.

Federal Government Vs. The People War?

Please remember that "paranoia" is only an unreasonable fear of others! Please also remember that the Founding Fathers of our nation feared any too-great power of a tyrannical chief executive (Insisting on a three-branch government) and of a too-great power of a federal government (Insisting on the passage of  a "Bill Of Rights" before full acceptance of the Constitution---Especially as to Articles I, II, IX and X).

In recent months various Federal (Civilian) agencies have purchased huge supplies of large-caliber ammunition and, at least at the Department of Education, a supply of new, 12-gauge riot shot-guns.  Why? The supplies ordered seem far beyond the needs of such agencies to train and arm what should be a very limited number of persons for very limited armed duties. [I doubt that DOE agents would be patrolling schools, with riot guns, to only insure that pupils "color only within the lines".]

Now, who would be the target of the noted shift to a war footing of so many Federal Agencies (Who are not known for respect for civil liberties, especially under the current Administration)? Our foreign enemies are the proper focus of our Military who are trained for such warfare.  Who is left?

Some of my relatives have express a fear-or-premonition that Mr. Obama will not give up the presidency even if defeated at the polls.

In Louisiana's prisons a prisoner, under sentence of death, is moved about to cries of "Dead Man Walking!". Any persons who would attempt to so destroy the Republic would be "Dead Men Walking". I suspect that any such action against the People would bring into play some of the 100,000,000 large-bore guns held by private citizens (Chiefly those who honor and would protect the Constitution) to destroy such persons and All of their supporters---In Political Parties or government or academia or the media. There are also trees and lamp-posts and alternatives-to-guns available for such good work.

All should reflect on the following words of President Thomas Jefferson:"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms"; And, "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."

Maybe I will go and buy a .308-rifle and 100-plus rounds of full jacketed ammo.

Social Security Admin. orders 174,000 rounds of ammo

Posted by David Hardy · 18 August 2012 06:56 AM

And its answer, that it must supply and train 295 special agents, raises questions of its own.

I think many agencies view having their own law enforcement, not to mention a SWAT team, as matter of prestige. A JP in New Mexico once issued a number of search warrants for food stamp fraud cases. Next morning he found the town overrun with Dept of Agriculture SWAT teams, taking down people that he knew would have turned themselves in if given a phone call. Overhead was a helicopter full of armed guys. But there was nowhere to land it ... too many telephone lines. He asked an agent and was told it would just hover there for a while and then fly back to the airport. It was only there because Congress had started asking why the agency had a helo and never u< span="">n>sed <>it.

UPDATE: I'd agree that there are thousands of federal buildings that need some entrance security, and that those folks ought to be adequately training. But in my experience, Federal buildings are not guarded by employees of the agency involved, if only because (apart from major HQ buildings) most federal buildings combine several agencies. They are guarded by Federal Protective Service, which is part of DHS. This might explain DHS's large purchases, but not that of other departments.

I can remember when Interior was protected by private agencies, with unarmed employees, and no metal detectors. When there was an alert they looked in your briefcase, and ladies' purses, but never under overcoats. I thought Interior did not want to face the grim fact that no terrorist would think it worth attacking. What are they going to knock out, the environmental law division of the Park Service, or the migratory bird hunting division of Fish and Wildlife, or screw up FOIA response by taking out the Division of General Law?

The Dark Side Of Compromise

Mr. David M. Shribman (Executive Editor, the "Pittsburgh Post-Gazette") has touted the benefits of compromise in our national-political life ("Loss of compromise is a threat to nation"; "Milwaukee Journal Sentinel"; June 26, 2011; Page- 1J). I suspect that he has put aside his history books some years ago and has forgotten the very "dark side" of compromise.

During the formation of this nation we executed a probably necessary compromise as to counting slaves to determine States' representation in the Congress. During the 1850s the USA compromised further on the question of slavery. The results of such compromises were: A delay in the abolishing of slavery; The bloodiest war fought by the American People; And, an anti-democracy movement from "these United States" to "the United States".

In the 1930s the United Kingdom and most European nations compromised with Adolf Hitler when a firm "NO!", a few French soldiers and, perhaps, a few rifle shots would have stopped his expansion-of-power into the Saar and throughout Europe. The results of that compromise was many millions of dead and the physical-and-other exhaustion of the USA and other nations.

By "reaching out" and "dialog" the Churches, European nations and the USA are attempting to compromise with a newly resurgent Islam (Which seeks its perpetual goals by traditional means). The results are: Multiple wars in the Middle East; Asymmetrical war with Muslims throughout the world ;Weekly reports of small group or individual, military-style, Jihad everywhere; And severe threats to democracy and public safety in every jurisdiction where Muslims form more that a minute part of the local population.

Within the Congress compromise with morality and financial sanity have yielded a multi-trillion dollar debt, spending well beyond revenues, a great danger to the security of the nation as well as an ongoing roll-call of corruption and anti-democracy arrogance from the White House down to local elected officials.

Compromise with the examples of history will condemn us to repeat the most horrid lessons of history (Paraphrased from George Santayana).

Perpetual war with "unbelievers" until they become Muslims or accept the slave-like state of "dhimmitude"; Lying to "unbelievers" as the approved and commanded tactic of Muslims as to "pointed questions" regarding Islam; AND, the consideration of any resistance to or complaints about Islam as an attack which the "faithful" are required to counter-attack, very often by physical attack.

Sadness RE: The Church Ignoring Truth

I was saddened by such headlines as "Islamic Scholars Bash Benedict". It is not that I was surprised by such a reaction as Muslims, scholars and clerics more than most, react to any criticism of Islam as an actual attack or "bashing". Such are not interested in truth, but only in forwarding the goals of that ideology which, by the way, include the effective destruction of the Church.

What truly saddens me is the limp-wristed, cowardly and delusional responses of the last series of Popes, the Holy See, so many bishops (Especially in the Eastern Churches), editors-and-publishers of "Catholic" publications and too many others. All of such persons continue to physically-and-spiritually endanger all Catholics, all Christians, Jews (Our spiritual ancestors) and everyone who is not Muslim.

I suggest that we need such popes (And Church supporters) as Urban II (First Crusade), Innocent XI (Turning back the Muslim Turks at Vienna) and St. Pius V (Battle of Lepanto).

Most of all we need to apply the teachings of St. Bernard of Clairvaux, a "Doctor Of The Church", who taught us how to properly, ethically and morally "strike blows for Christ". Today's Church seems unable to strike those blows even with the sword-of-truth by declaring: The true nature of Islam by listing its horrid goals and even more horrid means;That Islam regresses to its most medieval modes as its population, in any place, increases; And, that true-believing Muslims are, like pirates, the enemies of all humans.

Of course, words did not and will not protect the Christian and Pagan peoples of the Sudan from the Janjaweed and other Muslim agents of Islamic state terrorism (I am redundant here). Contracting with "Blackwater" or some like security company would have done those victims much more good. A heartfelt shout, from the Vatican, of DEUS VULT! appears to be needed!

I was asked by a regular Catholic columnist, "Are you trying to start a war with over a Billion Muslims?". The fact is that we have been at war with Islam since its inventor declared it to be perpetual until all are under the rule of Muslims and Sharia or have accepted the slave-like status of "dhimitude". That state-of-war continues to this day and for the future without regard of the views expressed by the Holy See, and all those intellectual cowards-and-liars noted in the first paragraph of this letter AND secular persons.

Now, WHO willwar declare the truth that the Pope and those others named above are unwilling to speak or write?

Making Islamic Martyrs----Help Achieve Goals

If Palestinians, those who share their militant-and-murderous ideology and their flunkies of the dhimitude inclination wish to be martyrs and to meet Allah (Or is it Shaitan or Iblis?), then we (In cool and dispassionate ways)must arrange for that status and meeting in the soonest possible time and with the least "collateral damage".

History has clearly demonstrated that Islam will not respond to compromise, "reaching out", inter-faith meetings/seminars, kindness; But, responds only to properly applied physical, military level, force---By governments (eg The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth),international groups (eg The naval powers who destroyed the Turkish fleet at Lepanto) and even citizen groups (eg The Greeks who won freedom from Islamic Turkey).

When Talk Fails

There are some people and movements who/which do not respond to "talk" or "reaching out" or like methods specially favored by those in ivory towers (Especially those with stained glass windows). This was my experience as a Probation & Parole Agent and prison Social Worker as to most criminals. This is the common experience of history as to dealing with Islam, socialists (eg Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao) and arrogant secular humanists. That Doctor Of The Church St. Bernard of Clairvaux proposed that for some, it was necessary to use the edge of the sword to strike blows for Christ. The "Crusade In Europe" dealt with Hitler.

In today's world the Jihahists and aggressive socialists still do not respond to words, reason and "reaching out" (Something not understood by the Holy See). I suggest that we all sharpen our swords and oil our guns. We will need them.
