GIVING UP GROUND IN THE TERROR WAR
By Christopher G. Adamo
THE AMERICAN POLITICAL & CULTURAL LEFT AS THE ISLAMIST ENEMY'S FIFTH COLUMN IN THE FOURTH WORLD WAR:
UNDERMINING AMERICA'S DEFENSE AGAINST THE FORCES OF ISLAMISM -- ADVANCING THE LIBERALS' CONCEPT
OF "POLITICAL CORRECTNESS" & THEIR TWISTED PERCEPTION OF FOREIGN POLICY & INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS --
LEFTIST PROPAGANDA DISSEMINATION, GROWING INDECISIVENESS & SELF-DOUBT IN THE U.S.A. & OTHER WESTERN
NATIONS, & THE CLOSING WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY BY WHICH THE DISEASE KNOWN AS ISLAMIST FANATICISM &
JIHADISM COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVEN INTO REMISSION -- LIBERAL CONCEPTS OF "POLITICAL CORRECTNESS,"
"DIVERSITY," & "MULTICULTURALISM" ERODING AMERICAN UNITY & RESOLVE IN THE FACE OF THE WORLDWIDE
ISLAMIST JIHAD & WREAKING HAVOC ON AMERICA'S COMMON NATIONAL CULTURE
FULL STORY:
Having had his fill of Liberal backstabbing, America’s UN Ambassador John
Bolton is stepping down. Though President George W. Bush had vowed to fight for his
position, Bolton decided that he wants no more of it. Who can blame him?
Since he was initially nominated, Democrats worked tirelessly to smear his
reputation and otherwise characterize him as wholly unfit to hold the post
of UN Ambassador. So, to them, this constitutes a victory. And, in their
bizarre world, where causes and effects often remain unconnected in
perpetuity, no matter how obvious they might be, Liberals will likely cling
to their smug assessment of the situation, even as the nation suffers from
it. Among Liberal political hacks, it is a good story, so they will stick to
it.
Not surprisingly, their “PR” spin machines immediately jumped on the
occasion of Bolton’s resignation as an opportunity to advance their twisted
Liberal Leftist concepts of international relations. The New York Times claims that
his departure will improve America’s international relations. Happiness and
approval of Bolton’s departure appears to be nearly universal, at least
among America’s foreign enemies and their toadies on the American political Left.
Elsewhere, ominous signs continue to appear, just as they did throughout the
1990s. And just as predictable is the danger they currently represent, not
only to America, but also to Europe and all of the civilized world.
Remaining intentionally ignorant of the signs will hardly make them go away, and,
in fact, will only increase their impact when the inevitable confrontation
comes.
As a result of America’s initially aggressive and resolute response to the 9-11 Islamist terrorist attacks,
a window of opportunity was opened, by which the forces of Islamic
fanaticism could have been driven into remission. But as a result of growing
indecisiveness and self-doubt in Western nations, the time of that
opportunity is passing. The once-scattered Islamists are regrouping .
Something far worse lies ahead.
At virtually the same time of Bolton’s resignation, Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned the Europeans to leave his nuclear programs
alone. The significance of his warning cannot be overstated.
He already knows that the European continent does not possess the collective
spine to take any legitimate action to stop him. Certainly, he has no reason
to fear Europe’s most strenuous reprisal, which would likely be some
deliberately insignificant and wholly symbolic effort at “sanctions.” So to
what is he responding? In essence, he is forbidding mere verbal
criticism.
In other words, Ahmadinejad not only intends to press forward in his quest
to build a bomb, he demands to be allowed to do so free from criticism of
any kind. Like the rioting Muslims who called for the death of the Pope
after he made reference to their history of violence (no irony there),
Ahmadinejad insists, not only on the right to build nuclear weapons, but also the right to do so with
immunity from any questions of his motives or the threat he might represent,
once armed with nuclear weapons.
Islamists can do what they will, in the name of their socalled “peaceful" religion,
and the West dare not even verbally protest against them. It may take a few
violent demonstrations or car bombings, but ultimately, Europe will ensure
that the Islamists get their way.
In America, the diligence of the Leftists is similarly paying off, albeit at
a slower pace. Though the Islamists have, since 9-11, been thwarted in their
efforts to conduct another frontal attack, their insidious surrogates have
relentlessly conducted a “stealth war,” eventually reaping perhaps even
greater success.
At a time when Islamic factions are maiming and killing with abominable
regularity in Iraq and throughout the world, the Council on American-Islamic
Relations (CAIR), based in Washington, D.C., has found something to be
really concerned about. It seems that radio talk show host Dennis Prager
took umbrage with the possibility that newly elected Minnesota Democrat
Keith Ellison, a Muslim, plans to take his oath of office on the Koran.
Wanton slaughter of innocents is one thing, but such an atrocious comment by
the likes of Prager is clearly too much. CAIR, whose membership could not
muster much enthusiasm over the past five years to vigorously condemn
rampant violence from the Islamists, now demands that Prager be removed from
the board of the U.S. Holocaust Museum. Amazingly, CAIR makes this assertion
under the banner of “religious tolerance.”
From CAIR’s perspective, individuals such as Prager who would stand in the
path of Islam’s continuing encroachment on America must be immediately
silenced. The cinch grows ever tighter with the passage of time.
Admittedly, “political correctness” and “diversity” have wreaked havoc on
the bedrock of the American culture, leaving an enormous moral and spiritual
void in its place. So it should not be surprising to see the advocates of an
“Islamic America” rushing in to fill that void. But the ferocity and
brazenness with which they are doing so, and the near total lack of
opposition to them, ought to be unsettling to any who hope for the future of
America as the “Land of the Free.”
Nations whose citizenry can be easily put to flight over such an issue as
this will be hard pressed to muster the necessary fortitude to stave off a
madman who seeks to wield the power of a nuclear bomb.
This is not a single faceted attack, and cannot be successfully dealt with
as such. On numerous fronts, the plans of the Islamists continue to advance,
while Western culture ponders nothing less than a full retreat.
