The face of war has certainly changed - even as our language. In the past we have known the enemy, and our best observers were diligent in identifying it clearly and precisly, its character and every feature of its mind and actions.
Now the West, but especially here where every voice has a "right" to be heard, the enemy is excused from any blame for whatever damage, however, deadly, it inflicts on us. We are beset with the pathological phenomenon called "political correctness", and the new holy-of holies - multiculturalism. . These require that we be "sensitive" to the feelings of agents of the enemy who are living and thriving among us. We know who carries the bombs into our airplanes or seeks to destroy us in our very homes, but we can be sued for enormous sums if we dare to say a word which identifies the killers among us.
For instance, Muslim criminals from Lebanon were tenants of mine. After three months, they threatened to kill me if I asked them to pay rent. I reported them to the police, who said, "If they hurt you, let us know. Otherwise, we have orders from the Mayor (then Koch) not to bother the immigrants, especially the Muslims." Later the housing court Judge told me not to say these tenants were "illegal" because they could sue me for violating their "civil rights" and win damages that could cost me the whole house. I asked, "What about my civil rights?" The judge said, "Forget your civil rights. Just pray they move out by the end of the month."
The same immunity is enjoyed by the mischief-makers who call themselves The Islamic Thinkers Society and shout on street corners where they tear up and trample the American flag, "Come and join us, we will conquer the world. The flag of Islam will be on the White House....etc..." An American citizen who protests to the police about these creatures, is told, "We have orders from the Mayor (now Bloomberg) to lean over backwards for the Muslims."
Yes, something is terribly wrong, morally and intellectually askew in our struggle against Islamic totalitarianism. For Islam requires obedience 24/7 to the KKK code of Mohammed, "Konquer, Konvert, Kill" the unbeliever. Our courts are full of Muslim complaints about abuse of their "civil rights". Although Islam does not recognize any "civil" or "human right", Muslims take the fullest advantage and then some of our judicial system which amply compensates a "victim of human or civil rights abuse".
Our ever so tolerant press, ignores or glosses over any crimes of Muslim evil-doers in our midst. For instance, the drunken spree of a movie star is reported constantly but the Muslim gunman who shot at Jewish women, and killed one of them, is hardly mentioned. The network news report it, if at all, not as an Islamic attack but merely as an isolated instance of a deranged outburst.
So in defending ourselves against the constant war of Islam against us, we must also defend ourselves against the entrenched secret and open attacks by those who wear - like Dante's Fraud, an honest face but carry the fatal sting of the scorpion. They play the role of being "one of the guys" but are the very ones who expect to profit by the advance of Islam among us and the ensuing collapse of our democratic system. We see these creatures everywhere, most of all in the media where they can do the most harm . Their sinister mission is to lull the average American into feeling that all is well, when in fact, everything we hold most dear and sacred is at risk from the new Islamic onslaught against us, the dirty Kaffirs, the Unbelievers of the West.
