Terror Plot Foiled
by Jack Lee
Six Muslim men from mostly war-torn nations were given safe haven in America so they might find better lives and join the great melting pot as productive citizens. The 6 Muslims plotted a murderous attack on unsuspecting trainees at the Fort Dix Army base, to "kill as many soldiers as possible," arresting authorities said in today's news release.
We do not fully understand what it means to be an "Islamic militant", but we're learning one deadly plot at a time.
FBI Officials said four of the men were born in the former Yugoslavia, one in Jordan and one in Turkey. Five of them lived in Cherry Hill, 10 miles east of Philadelphia and 20 miles southwest of Fort Dix. Although they were from different walks of life and even from different countries, they were united by their religion. This means they were members of the Nation of Islam not the United States. Their radicalized religious views allowed them to take a solemn oath of loyalty to America and lie. According to their thinking, the Koran says if it benefits the spread of Jihad and protects the radical's mission, then lying is perfectly acceptable, and so is the murder of any infidels in the way.
The concept of embracing kindness and charity from Americans just so they can get close enough to kill us is almost too loathsome for decent people to comprehend. Even when we see it happening, we can't fully grasp how otherwise normal, average people who come here to live among us could be that deceitful and evil. However, the bloody evidence can be seen and it's not just in North Africa, it's spreading across Europe in Spain, France, Germany, England, Holland, Denmark, Chechnyia, Russia, Sweden and it's reached Canada and of course right here America on numerous occassions. Thanks to the FBI and new security measures the most recent plots have ended before they could be carried out, but we can't count on always being so lucky.
This radicalism is a disease of the mind and it's getting worse.
We are batteling extremism, but this enemy has no country, no uniformed military and they have no rules. They engage in sabotage, hit and run fights and suicide bombings. The Islamic extremists today could care less about innocent human life or whether someone is in the military or a civilian. All they care about is the spread of jihad and their religious views.
Therefore, there are grave risks posed by opening our doors to tens of thousands more so-called refugees like these men, and extending the protections of our Constitution to them and the Islamic radicals already here that are already infecting our society. Despite this, newspapers like the Washington Post refused to even acknowledge the 6 jihadists were muslim radicals and this illustrates the classic divide between the politically correct liberals and everyone else. That [Political Correctness] is begining to show our greatest weakness, a weakness that often obstructs our government from taking the measures necessary and it endangers our soldiers who are similarly restrained while fighting this evil.
And now this report, The Threat From Radical Islam....
To many people, September 11th was a rude awaking about the world we live in. Up to this point, most of America was living in peace with very little worries. The threat of terrorism had not touched American soil this forcefully yet. Many people in America had been unaware of the threat of terrorism and the people who are behind it. The most dominant group of people involved in terrorist acts today is obviously Islamic fundamentalists. Radical Islam is the biggest threat to the United States and needs to be addressed before it is too late. The part of September 11th that is most scary is that some Americans are beginning to forget it. We need to recognize the people behind these attacks and realize that they aren't going to disappear. The part about the threat of Radical Islam that makes it different and more difficult than past international problems is how they are spread out. There is obviously very large numbers of fundamentalists in the Middle East; however, there are known and suspected terrorists in countries all over the world. September 11th was not a random act of hate, but rather a planned and desired attack for many fundamentalists around the world. The fundamentalists behind this attack can not be taken lightly. We must first look at the roots of the Islamic beliefs in order to understand their passion with killing "infidels."
Many practicing Muslims are completely peaceful people who are of no threat to society. We can not single out an entire religion because of a threat that exists in one division of it. Let's start with the definition of the word "Islam." The word Islam actually means submission. This refers to submission by giving up oneself completely in serving for Allah. How certain Muslims interpret the definition of Islam and the readings of Quran is where this religion turns violent. One of the most important prophets to Islam was Mohammed. Mohammed was a known warrior. He led at least 50 raids in Saudi Arabia and was involved in fighting and killing in 27 of them. How can this religion claim to be based on peace when their most important prophet was a warrior and murderer? Mohammed also leaves us with some disturbing quotes in the most holy book to the Islamic religion, the Quran.
"Oh ye that believe, take not Christians and Jews as your friends and protectors. Fight with them until there is no more persecution. Religion should only be for Allah."
"The last hour will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them."
"Kill those who join other gods wherever you may find them."
