Islamic fascism

I watched a four hour documentary this evening on the National Geographic Channel about the Islamic jihad with the numerous terrorists events beginning in the 1980's leading up to 9/11 and the aftermath up to the current month. It was unnerving to watch all the terrorists acts that wrought so much destruction and death to so many innocent people. The most chilling of all was the quotation from Osama bin Laden that ended the program.

"We love death. The United States loves life. That is the big difference between us."

In the 1960's I worked a short while in the Middle East. I quickly learned they perceived compassion as a weakness to be exploited. Later after I returned home I wrote the following based on my experiences and observations among the followers of Islam:

ISLAM and CHRISTIANITY

HATE is to Islam as LOVE is to Christianity
DECEIT is to Islam as TRUTH is to Christianity
DESPAIR is to Islam as HOPE is to Christianity
MALICE is to Islam as KINDNESS is to Christianity
GREED is to Islam as CHARITY is to Christianity
CRUELTY is to Islam as MERCY is to Christianity
DEATH is to Islam as LIFE is to Christianity

In Islam LIFE is a sacrifice to Allah.
In Christianity LIFE is a precious gift from God.

There is no way you can negotiate with someone intent on killing you. You have nothing to offer him except your life. Political correctness means nothing to him.

We as a nation have to get out of this political correctness and rules of engagement when fighting people whose sole purpose is to kill us. I served in the Army paratroopers at the end of WW II. I was not in combat, but had Truman been politically correct and NOT dropped "the bomb" on Japan I probably would have been one of the many soldiers fighting a very nasty war in the Japanese homeland. In WW II the only rules of engagement was kill the enemy before he kills you.

Far too many Americans DO NOT understand what our nation and our culture is up against with Islamic jihadists. They want to destroy our culture. You can not negotiate with someone intent on destroying you. We had better ALL get on board with the effort to destroy Islamic fascism before it or the fire ants get us first.
