THE REAL CHALLENGE of HOLY WAR
Daniel Pipes, who has written and extensively studied the Middle-East and
Islamization, wrote in the Jerusalem Post (10-11-2005) that George W. Bush
finally declared what has been called by the administration, the "war on
terror." Pipes said this doctrine was appropriate, late but due, because
the war actually began against the United States in 1979 when the
Ayatollah Khomeini ascended to power in Iran and his supporters violently
seized the American embassy in Teheran.
For the next 22 years America failed to realize they were embroiled in a
war and when in 1998 Muslims attacked two more American embassies, this
time in Africa, the response was tepid. The U.S. government arrested the
attackers, took them to NY and provided them with a legal defense, put
them on trial, and they were convicted and sentenced to jail. They were
treated like mere criminals instead of jihadists. The war Bush was to
declare much later had already begun.
The "war on terror" entered a new stage on September 11, 2001. It was
only then that as Pipes describes it, "the US government promptly went
into war mode, for example, by passing the USA Patriot Act."
"Though welcoming this shift, I during four years criticized the notion of
making war on a military tactic, finding this euphemistic, inaccurate, and
obstructive. Instead, I repeatedly called on the president to start a
third era by acknowledging that the war is against radical Islam." (Daniel
Pipes - Jerusalem Post - 10-11-2005 "George W. Bush declares war on
radical Islam - finally")
War is ubiquitous. Terrorism is a tactic of suicide bombings, planes
flying into buildings, assassinations, bio-warfare and other acts of
aggression to intimidate a population and governments.
"Shock and Awe" was terrorism by a government and "rests ultimately in the
ability to frighten, scare, intimidate and disarm." (Harlan Ullman -
Shock and Awe: Achieving Rapid Dominance - NDU Press, 1996 - a strategy
written about by Ullman prior to its application in Iraq)
It is also a religious ideology, an application of jihad, a holy war which
utilizes terrorism as a tactic.
The Christian bible and the Jewish Torah are filled with descriptions of
terrorism, including rape, infanticide, genocidal wars, and all manner of
barbarity.
Psalm 139:9 - "O daughter Babylon...Happy shall they be who take your
little ones and dash them against the rock!"
"Bush did occasionally mention radical Islam - in fact, as early as
nine days after 9/11 - but not with enough frequency or detail to
change perceptions. British prime minister Tony Blair also advanced
the discussion in July, when, after the London transport bombings, he
focused on `a religious ideology, a strain within the worldwide
religion of Islam.'" (Pipes)
JIHAD AND HOLY WARIslam intends to eliminate all infidels and change all law to Sharia
(Islamic) Law.
Islam has as its goal the reform its own society, dar al-harb where Sharia
dictates all behavior, dress, tradition, and culture - to live in a
Islamic community under Allah.
"According to the Islamic view, the world is divided into two regions, the
sphere of Islam, dar al-islam, and the sphere of war, dar al-harb, so
conceived because the sphere of the unbelievers had to be warred upon: the
pagans and the `people of the book,' Jews and Christians, forced to
convert or pay tribute. The waging of war to these ends is considered the
sacred duty of all Muslims, the very specific will of Allah. Conflict is
an acceptable and proper way of life for Muslims, and, indeed, it is
prescribed." (Charles W. Sutherland, Deciples of Destruction, 1987 -
Prometheus Books)
Obama claims to be a Christian now. He has never explained why he choose a church which
adopted "Black Liberation Theology", ergo, "Black power" as its creed, which claims to be
"unabashedly Black?" Obama's church emphasizes Black victimhood and Black liberation from
White oppression. This is also a church which holds in high esteem the antisemite, Louis
Farrakan. A church which promotes "Blackness" is thus discriminatory and racist, and a
church where some members have resigned from because of the Pastor's radical message of hate
and "feel-good" victimhood. It is a creed which does not unite; it is an ideology which
promotes separateness.
It must also be assumed Barack Obama has some knowledge of Islam. How could he not? He
spent years in an Islamic country, he attended a school in which teachers and other students
were identified as Muslims and he too, was identified as a Muslim and participated in
Islamic prayer. His name is Islamic. His cousin, also a politician, intends to fully
implement (Islamic) Sharia Law. Yet, Barack never speaks about it. NEVER! Why wouldn't he
explain to Americans, as he did with his famous speech about race, also describe Islam, his
close association with it (his family in Kenya are Muslims) and explain why he NOW distances
himself from it, if he does? Or does he?

software) mostly because I've been doing this too long - having been there with Ike when the
precursor to the Internet, Arpanet got started and every step of the way since, I can't get
into all the many fads over the years (now it is social networking), but I have been an
observer and participant in events which shape the world since my time with NSA and with
Army Security and as a voice security cryptologist in the White House for the President, and
the War Room at the Pentagon for the Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff plus two wars.
You could say this site is one of the better kept secrets [grin] on the InterNUT. You
are invited back as often as you would like to see what I and others, I trust, may be
saying. * * -- Hank
