You know, we hear a lot about how various Islamic factions have declared war on America. You know, Al-Qaeda… ISIL… Muslim Brotherhood, etc…
They fly their flag in victory over lands upon which we spilled American blood in an effort to free their citizens from their own despotic leaders… they now taunt us with threats about bringing their war to America… they brutalize their prisoners – some American – in the most barbaric manner possible…
They are, in fact, throwbacks to a much earlier age where the sword ruled and peace was but a brief interlude in an on-going war….where primitive peoples inflicted carnage on each other in their quest for power and domination…
Yes, we hear that a relatively small group of misogynistic religious misfits have declared war on America. But why the hell haven’t we heard about how America has declared war on them? Why do we mute our rage with inane comments about workplace violence? Why do we blame the bestial slaughter of an American ambassador on an inconsequential video? Why do we not place the blame squarely where it belongs instead of beating around the bush?
The fact is, virtually every problem besetting the world today seems to stem from Islam and its ongoing jihad with the rest of civilization. And yes, we know that while not all Islam devotees are terrorists, almost all terrorists are Islam devotees. Funny how that works, huh.
But it seems that if we ignore this undeniable fact, we can somehow pretend that we are not at war with these sacrilegious perverts… that if we but indulge ourselves some in sort of childish make-believe, we can convince ourselves that if we were just nicer to them, they would not hate us.
But they will… you see, they hate us not for what we do or say… They hate us for what we are…
And they always will…
