Perhaps Terrorists Really Do Speak
For Islam

The
city of Baghdad, with its weekly catalogue of grotesqueries that invariably
include the discovery of the bodies of citizens tortured and beheaded for the
simple reason that they had the misfortune to belong to the "wrong"
Islamic sect, has become a constant reminder to all Muslims of the risks
involved in standing up against the mass slaughter of their co-religionists
at the hands of monsters.
And
although the pace of the sectarian massacres has lessened significantly,
don't expect acknowledgment of this initial success of the American troop
surge from Democrats and the mainstream media any time soon. Harry Reid's
typically blank mien seems to get even blanker, if that's possible, when
anyone mentions that progress is being made in securing Baghdad as a result
of the troop surge and changing Iraqi governmental policies.
Both
the Democrats and the media, through their actions and comments, have
positioned themselves solidly on the side of any Muslim who kills any other
Muslim, as long as it makes the

Harry
Reid and Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and John Murtha
and the rest of this sorry group are not simply anti-American, they're
unpatriotic. By their words and deeds, they've effectively cast their lot
with one of the most broadly murderous ideologies in religious history,
Islam, and we can't allow them to continue to talk out of both sides of their
mouths.
If
you're still insisting that somehow Islam is a "religion of peace,"
please continue reading. On March 21, in an incident that was not nearly as
widely reported as it should have been, a car with two men in the front seats
and two children in the back pulled up to a checkpoint near a marketplace in
northern Baghdad. Guards waved them through because two small children were
seen in the back seat. Once they were in the marketplace, the two men exited
the vehicle and ran. Moments later the car, with the two children inside, was
detonated remotely, killing the children and a number of bystanders.
In other
words, they used their own children to lower suspicion that they might be
suicide bombers, then murdered them after they themselves had fled. Most
westerners can think of no more cowardly and disgraceful act, yet Muslims, to
judge by the absolute lack of any condemnation of such acts by so-called
"moderate" Muslims, find it acceptable.
What
was the saying in the 1960s? If you're not part of the solution, you're part
of the problem. Well, Democrats, the "mainstream" media, and
Muslims in general are now officially part of the problem.
Now
come reports that Muslims are also training their own children to murder
themselves. Fox News reported on a video dramatization aired on Hamas
Television in which a girl who is perhaps four years old idolizes her mother,
who is strapping explosives to her body in preparation for going on a
suicide/homicide bombing mission. The video ends with the girl expressing her
desire to emulate her mother and kill herself as she attempts to kill
infidels.
Now
it's been clear for a long time that such terrorist networks as Al Jazeera
and Hamas Television and many Islamist websites are promoting wanton
violence, not only against infidels but among Islamic sects. But what is
remarkable is that there has been no loud public outcry emanating from
Muslims themselves against this violence, especially as their own friends,
family, and loved ones are overwhelmingly the people who bear the brunt of
the violence.
