Hello Friends,
Ignoring the danger of Radical Islam is beyond political correctness. In many ways it borders on the naive disbelief that others are willing to kill, maim and terrorize in the name of their religion. Well it's about time people start educating themselves and accepting the fact that in the eyes of Radical Islam and the Koran you are infidels and are to be subjugated and killed. Their plan, aim and agenda is world domination no more no less.
Wake up time my friends. I've been posting articles about this subject for quite awhile now and will bring further articles and sources for you all to read and learn about what you are facing.
Shalom,
Peter

As this difficult year comes to a close there is reason forpositivity. There are now serving politicians in our country who areaware of Islam and the dangers that it poses to our freedoms andnational survival; and there are now candidates running for nationaloffice who understand the challenges that we face from an ideology thatis fundamentally opposed to ours.
We have been successful in raising awareness about political Islamits purposes and doctrine across the country and beyond. Even moreimportant perhaps is the difficulty that we experience in discussingissues like this one.
We experience resistance to our discussions about Islamic doctrineand what it means for Americans and America because the United Statesand the West in general is in the midst of a crisis of meaning.
In addition to the horrors that we experienced on 9/11 andsubsequently most recently at Fort Hood is the growing understandingacross our society that we no longer have a shared concept of what itmeans to be American and what “America” itself means.
If there was no crisis of meaning in the United States there wouldbe no controversy about the doctrine of Islam; there would be noconfusion about what is the “true” Islam or what is the “false” Islam,the hijacked version of the … hijackers. If there were no crisis ofmeaning there would be unfettered and open discussion of Islamicdoctrine, ideology, and history across the society.
The doctrine of Islam is clear about non-believers (Allah andMohammed hate the unbeliever, the kafir), and it is clear about whatthe future of the world is supposed to be (the future is supposed to beentirely Islamic). The doctrine is clear about the House of War (dar alHarb), and the House of Islam (dar al Islam). The followers of Islamwho kill non-believers and shout Islamic religious phrases as they killgive a clear message to all who care to listen to it. The followers ofIslam involved overtly in jihad do not hide their purposes though theyfool the multiculturalists and the ignorant with taqiyya about Islam asthe “religion of peace”.
The doctrine of Islam is clear- it is the obligation of allfollowers of Islam to be involved in jihad, fighting in Allah’s cause.Allah’s Cause is the elimination of every religion or culture that isnot Islamic, ruled under Allah’s law, “Sharia”.
The clarity of the message of the jihadists and the doctrine ofIslam which explains why jihadists do what they do and commit theatrocities that they commit is difficult to defend, though it isdefended nevertheless. It is defended and explained away bypost-modernists and multiculturalists because if it is accepted asbeing what it is and if it is accepted that it is oppositional toAmerican concepts of freedom and tolerance, then those who do not livea life of meaning have a foundational crisis of purpose andunderstanding; their deeply felt concepts of how the world functionswill collapse.
The resistance to accept the reality of and then understand thetruth of the doctrine of Islam is essentially a self-referentialprotective response on the part of a widely ignorant and post-modernculture deeply enamored with so-called post-historical ideas andUtopian concepts of radical tolerance.
Many in our culture believe that we in the United States are immunefrom historical forces; that we are safe in “fortress America” from allthe horrors of the world that always happen “over there”. Even 9/11could not shatter this Pollyanna silliness. The failure of 9/11 toawaken the mass of our people to the great threat of political Islam isa significant failure that cannot be defended, but it must be explained.
By way of explanation, Americans are a forward-looking people; weare tolerant, accepting and friendly. These are the foundations of ouropen society and why so many throughout our history have fled their owntroubled homelands where the forces of history in all their uglinesswrecked their havoc. The place to evade the forces of history hasalways been the United States. This is why America has been the shiningbeacon of freedom and safety for generations.
What happens after a stunning and world shifting event like 9/11occurs in the haven of openness and tolerance? What happens to the city on the hill—willthe lights blink on and off then come back on bright as ever? Or willthe lights shimmer and dim, because the people cannot accept the truthof this new world, which in fact is extraordinarily old (app 1400years), into which they have been thrust?
The fundamental concepts of a stable and pleasant life for most arebuilt upon the idea that everyone shares in the same desire forpleasantness and stability. Many in our country believe that a want ofniceness on our part rather than simply our existence is the reason whyso many across the world dislike the United States and our freedoms.This is a common idea across the land and a singular reason whydiscussing the doctrine of Islam and what it means is often met withrancor and fear. Many Americans do not want to know about the doctrineof Islam because it means that their concepts of stability and thenature of humanity are shattered.
The idea that an ideology can be so opposed to the existence ofAmericans as a group or nation is not unprecedented, we have been incivilizationalwar before. We fought WW2 because we saw thecivilizations of Europe at risk of destruction and we knew that if theyfell, the United States would be next and their essential concepts offreedom and the dignity of men were our own.
Since 1945 we as a society have forgotten that kindness and opennessand a desire for mutual association is not enough to ensure peace andsecurity here at home. There are forces at work that deny the right forothers to live with their own beliefs and their own governments; thisis called totalitarianism.
As this difficult year comes to a close we have much to be thankfulfor, but profound challenges remain. We are in an ideological war forwhich most are not prepared; in fact, many are unaware that such aconflict exists.
There is no denying the essential anti-freedom, intolerant politicalmeaning and purpose of the doctrine of Islam, though it is deniedanyway; this denial is the corner stone of our national suicide.
We are a forward-looking people; our grasp of history and of othercultures is neither extensive nor deep across the wider culture. Ourcurrent “culture war” has been described as a conflict betweenRepublicans and Democrats; liberals and conservatives; capitalists andsocialists but these are over-simplifications and miss the core point.The core of our current difficulties is a conflict over meaning and how to respond to challenges from those who do not share our concepts of meaning.
Throughout history societies have been required to defend themselvesfrom threats both internal and external; this is why the Foundersplaced “I will support and defend the Constitution of the United Statesagainst all enemies, foreign and domestic” in all civil and militaryoaths of office. We now must respond to a domestic and foreign threatthat is ideologically driven.
Because we are in a crisis of meaning–as shown by our lack ofsocietal awareness and acceptance of the threat even these few yearssince 9/11 and only weeks since Fort Hood (a smaller version of thesame crime driven by the same forces that were behind 9/11)—we cannotrespond effectively or at all.
In previous generations it was clearly understood by all what itmeant to be an American, and what the concept of “America” was about.Rarely do the people have a shared understanding of these concepts now.What we see is a hodgepodge of competing ideas with the essentialunifying concepts of “Americanism” forgotten or misunderstood.
The foundational concept of our country is built upon ourConstitution which provides for just governance through representationand guaranteed freedoms for the people. The idea that a government isgiven its legitimacy from the people (rather than the government to thepeople) is unprecedented and merits appreciation, understanding, anddefense.
Our culture is distracted and fragmented due to competing conceptsof meaning. In the last 30 or 40 years we have seen the rise of anirrational and radical ultra-tolerance whereby any and all ideologiesare accepted because they are different.
There is no value judgments placed upon these ideologies, even ifthey oppose our own because to do so would be to display intolerance;we are sacrificing our nation on the altar of a mistaken and ignorantmisunderstanding of the functioning of humanity.
Radical tolerance upon which multiculturalism and post-modernismrest is the idea that there is no truth which can be known, that all“truths” are relative and a matter of opinion. This bizarre anti-self-legitimization is linked inextricably with the denial of historyand the belief that we are somehow immune from the horrors of history’scycles if we are but “nice” (tolerant) enough. The abandonment ofimmigration controls is evidence of this abandonment of essentialtruths; for how can we prevent the entry of someone to our countrysimply because there is a difference of opinion between them and theprevailing understanding of “good” in our culture let alone the laws ofthe land? Post-modernists would likely say that such controls woulddemonstrate a lack of “kindness” and “tolerance” on our part. This ideaof radical baseless tolerance is one of the consequences ofpost-modernism.
The rejection of all previous concepts of truth and the rejection ofthe idea that truth itself can be known is what post-modernists areabout. We see a total lack of moral and ethical foundation across theculture because the culture is widely accepting of post-modernism. Forsuch anti-intellectuals there is no reason to limit immigration, noreason to condemn ideologies that are hate-based, intolerant andviolent and opposed to our existence because we are no longer able tosay with confidence that our “way” is good and worthy of defense andanother ought to be opposed or condemned.
The mistake so rife among post-modernists is that the process ofdemocracy, voting, polling, debate, etc. is mistaken for democracyitself. The post-modernist is the voter who voted for the NSDAP (Naziparty) in 1933 and said, “Look! Democracy at work!” This is a deepmoral confusion because post-modernists are amoral.
Morality and ethics are built upon surety. Doubt in the ability tolearn, to know, to judge—and, in fact that “judging” itself isimmoral—is the essence of amorality.
As we doubt ourselves and pretend that we live in a world outsidehistorical forces and embrace the ridiculous notion that, only withmore and more tolerance and openness, those who wish to destroy us willbe turned to friends completely forgets the lessons of history and ofmillennia of human and civilizational development. Post-modernists areignorant Utopians whose ideas have no foundations in history butinstead have a powerful and attractive message to a confused populaceoverwhelmed with data overload and their own growing doubts aboutmeaning as essential and previously unassailable institutions acrossthe culture are de-constructed.
It is not now known when the idea that certitude could beessentially wrong (or worse) and gained favor in our culture. Thishappened most assuredly over only several generations; the Civil Wargeneration through the aftermath of WW2 into the Cold War had no suchconfusions as to the value of their society or country. We have somehowlost the firm belief that the United States and our Constitution areexceptional and worthy of defense. This loss of purpose andidentification must be accepted, challenged and overturned. We mustsoon return to the core concepts of what America is, and what it meansto be American.
The post-modern message is attractive because it exists outside ofthe horrors of history which include world war and holocaust and the“evil that men do”. The essence of post-modernism is a radical totalityof acceptance of differences and an abandonment of weighing differencesto come to a conclusion as to relative values. For post-modernistsrelative value is Truth, because there is no essential truth anymore.
The believability of post-modernist thought itself is at stake whenthe doctrine of Islam is discussed and events such as Fort Hood and9/11 are placed in an Islamic doctrinal context. The failure ofpost-modernism in these and so many other cases is the founded in therefusal to place people and events in a rational and legitimatecontext; Utopian fantasies are no way to explain the world.
If it is true that there is a doctrinal basis for 9/11 and Fort Hood(there clearly is), then universal radical tolerance is impossible—forhow can radical tolerance positively affect ideologically driven foeswhose purpose is the destruction of the very concept of radicaltolerance itself and those who support such concepts?
Post-modernists are unknowing self-haters. They are self-hatersbecause they will not dare to make a negative judgment about anideology that despises them and what they understand life to be about.
We are in an existential conflict understood now by many more thanunderstood only a year ago. Post-modernism is a Utopian dream builtupon ignorance and wishful thinking only; there is little that can besaid in its defense. If the world functioned in the way thatpost-modernists and multiculturalists believe that it does there wouldnot have been 9/11 or Fort Hood and the doctrine of Islam would besomething other than what it is.
Post-modernism is a denial of truth and the ability of humans evento know “truth”. In the world of post-modernist relativism everythingis true and everything is equivalent. This is an extreme radicalismthat we must oppose so that rationality built upon knowledge andunderstanding can again arise across the country and the West.
To those who believe there is truth and untruth and accept thishistorically valid concept of the dichotomies of life which are“truth/untruth” and “good/evil”, the way forward is both challengingand difficult. It is a comfort in a sense to know that history and rawexperience is on the sideof knowledge and rationality; post-modernismand multiculturalism are irrational.
The denial of history, of the good and bad of humanity and thehorrors of our experiences (9/11, Fort Hood, etc.), cannot long besustained by those Utopians who prefer the world to be something otherthan what it is.
Those who know Islamic doctrine and understand that jihadists commitatrocities because the doctrine of Islam commands them to do so cannotlive in a post-modern/multicultural world because such a world is aUtopian fantasy.
If we accept the world for what it is (and not the illusion of howwe would wish it to be) and if we compare ourselves, our government,and our Constitution with those of other lands present and past, we cancome to a conclusion based upon knowledge that what we have and who weare all worthy of defense.
If we accept the world for what it is and not for how we would wi**** to be, we can divine the truth and accept that the clarity thatcomes with acceptance of reality is illuminating. We are not dreamersbut realists. We have the audacity to learn the doctrine of ourenemies, to discuss it, and to extrapolate from it so that we canunderstand events of the world in which we all live.
The post-modernist and multiculturalist concepts of us and the world(and our place in it) will fall away as the idea that truth can beknown and understood again comes into fashion.
We are rationalists and students of reality; we are not dreamersliving in a fantasy because we reject reality because it is impossiblyunpleasant. We accept that we cannot change the world by inviting thosewho would destroy us into our fantasies of universal radical toleranceand ignorance.
We build our opposition to conditions today and to ideologies ofhatred and violence on knowledge and acceptance of reality. We acceptthe understanding that others have of themselves and of how they relateto us; we have friends, allies, and enemies.
The essential truth of humanity and history has not changed; wewould prefer a happier world but accept the world for what it is. Thisis our audacity; the audacity to speak the truth and challengefalsehoods and lies. We mourn our lost innocents and make them apromise that we will make things better so that their tribulations,sacrifices and pain are not in vain.
We are all learning, and sharing our knowledge. This is thefoundation of the future. A new year is approaching and we welcome itwith great hope.
