When is it alright?

Yesterday’s topic was: When does it become right? The purpose of yesterday’s FORUM was to bring into view a few items in the news that will have an affect on our society and our future. The question of multiculturalism is not just contained to Europe or the mid east anymore. The question: when does it become right? That can only be answered when the left is successful in incorporating these groups into our everyday life here at home regardless of the outcome and the threat.

The word caliphate is now in our vernacular. The identity of the Muslim Brotherhood is now on the front page. Protestors are out in the streets, not only in Egypt, but here in this country talking about the down fall of capitalism and the rise of Islam. The religion of Islam is one that should not be prohibited, but the move towards the rise of Islamofacism under the guise of Islam is what should be prohibited.

When is it alright for the left to support the actions of these groups under the argument of democracy? It is not alright - because Democracy is not based on Sharia law. When there are honor killings and beatings based on Sharia law or Islamic tradition it becomes incumbent on all democracies to stop the movement from expanding.

Part of the goal and the strategy of the radical elements of Islam is to destabilize organized governments and the democracies that they oversee. If you dig deep enough and start to peel back the skin on the organizations that preach this new form of religion, you will find the common threads of radicalism that bind.

For instance, in Lebanon, the group Hezbollah was given a seat in government. Hezbollah, a terrorist organization, now has an ever growing voice in the country and the region. It is a fact that Iran controls and supports Hezbollah and they also have deep ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Under the guise of free elections and free speech, these terror organizations will gain a foothold into all societies and will bring their law to the streets.

When is it alright for Americans to live under these laws and the new rule of a new world order? The radicals on the left, along with the religious radicals, believe that capitalism is over and that it is fashionable to speak about it. When our own government acts in concert with the new policies that favor these groups and then makes it so that whole industries answer to government, we have the beginnings of the failure that these groups seek.

Part of the destabilization comes when the basic comforts of life don’t exist any longer. I am not talking about the absence of a wide screen TV or the absence of your favorite CD in the store. I am referring to jobs and hope. I am referring to the young who take to the street in protests and become wrapped up in the radical elements with the promises of hope and change. In short, the radical religious elements look for weak spots in the world to promote their agenda because to some it becomes appealing and a last resort.

If you look to places like Tunisia and Egypt where people are at the end of their rope the young become restless and the young become belligerent to their governments. This is the beginnings of the destabilization that the radical elements of Islam and other terror groups take hold of.
Former Defense Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, said in September of 2005, “Iraq would serve as the base of a new Islamic Caliphate to extend throughout the Middle East, and which would threaten legitimate governments in Europe, Africa and Asia.”

U.S. General Abizaid told the House Armed Services Committee in September of 2005, “They will try to re-establish a caliphate throughout the entire Muslim world. Adding that the “caliphate’s goals would include the destruction of Israel.” He went on to say, “Just as we had the opportunity to learn what the Nazis were going to do, from Hitler’s word ‘Mein Kampf’, we need to learn what these people intend to do from their own words.”

The Muslim Brotherhood gave rise to Hammas and Al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda’s current commander was from the brotherhood. Mohammad Atta, of 9/11 fame, was a member of the same brotherhood that the blind sheik whom I wrote about yesterday was radicalized in.

The Ikhwan, which is Arabic for the brotherhood, said in their Shura Council of the Muslim Brotherhood: “The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western Civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

When is it alright to speak this way, let alone bring others up to perform these acts? It’s never alright and we must start to realize that it is not alright to be threatened and have our security put at risk, because of the political correctness that we are guilty of here.

It is okay to peel back the skin and expose these groups for what they are. When is it alright to extend a helping hand in the name of brotherhood? Well, you see now that we can’t even trust that anymore.

Giving power to those that would destroy in the name of a religious movement is dangerous to all democracies and all people who want real peace.

A footnote: It’s alright to question the legitimacy of power and that’s why a country such as ours lets the character of its people speak every two years. But then, our forefathers were the model of what true character was.
