If you are easily offended just click on the back button right now and be done with me. Go watch something insipid like American Idol.
For 2006 I’m getting more direct and to the point.
The stakes are higher than ever before and becoming even moreso — for our nation and the world.
I’ll just cut to the chase and make my core proclamation for 2006.
Our current war and those that are coming will get down to religion. Either you will acquiesce to Islam or you will not. If you don’t you are a target for terrorism. And yes, on your own soil. It is immaterial if you are a civilian — in fact, civilians preferred. Women and children perferred. The more babys’ brains on the pavement, the better. Black, white, yellow, pink, purple or burnt umber, it matters not.
And no, I won’t say that, in general, Islam is a religion of peace. In my understanding of Islam that couldn’t be further from the truth. Islamism and Militant, Fanatical Islam has its roots in Islam. Hello? Duh?
Drawing Lines Literally In The Sand
And I simply do not see those who espouse peace on behalf of Islam distancing themselves from those maniacal violent cutthroats who would rather slit your throat and be done with you.
They’ve had their chance to do so. And I’ll give you the specific date: 09-11-2001.
Yes, that would be almost FIVE YEARS.
So: how many thousands of Imams have lined up against the hostile bloodletting espoused by al Qaeda and its host of allied Islamist factions?
Okay; not thousands. Hundreds?
Okay, not hundreds. Tens?
Okay, not tens. Any?
You tell me.
Placards in mosques? Signs on lawns outside mosques: We Are Americans. We Support America?
Any? Hello? Taken any photographs of same? Seen any in the media? Got some links? Let me know. I’ll place them front and center in my next post.
Make Your Decision Now
Folks, I’m telling you, you’d best get your mind right for 2006.
It will be Islam vs. Christianity.
No one. I repeat: NO ONE. Will have the balls to write this for 2006 in their blog.
Oh sure, it may not get to that this year. Or the next. But trust me: the bottom line will be precisely that. Five years from now? Ten years from now?
The frog in the slowly boiling pot?
Oh, but yes, it will get there. Islam vs. Christianity.
And the secularists are only hastening the process. Because they have no convictions.
And Islamists? Oh yes. They have convictions. And then some.
What’s Next?
Iran is next. And its president is doing his best to hasten a showdown.
Read my December 14th post here, dealing with this man.
Palestinians agree with Iran: Israel should be wiped off the map or moved someplace else. Sure. Move a country. No problemo.
Iran will, unimpeded, simply become a nuclear power.
Even Pope Benedict is calling for Iran to back down.
The US was accused of flushing a Koran down the toilet. How about this?
What Will The U.S. Reaction Be?
Because this administration leaks more than the faulty Irish metal rivets used to assemble the sheeting on White Star Line’s RMS Titanic, this story has the world and, more importantly, Iran, on edge.
I Can See Your Thoughts: Moonbat
Really? Tried reading some good books lately?
How about this?
Or this?
Or this excellent book?
Have you read Steve Emerson’s book?
Because I am Politically Incorrect, this would work.
Or how about your secularist future under Islam?
Get back to me on them.
We Just Don’t Get It
Awfully judgmental, isn’t it? But I warn you again: if you’re adverse to genuflecting towards Mecca five times per day, you’d best continue making your stand now.
Otherwise, I guess you’re into:
- Clitorectomies
- The male as superior
- Birkas
- Absolute death to non-believers
- No dissension
- No freedom — of speech or press or thought
- The ultimate matriarchy

Oh yes. Islam vs. Christianity.
And it’s starting right now.
BRILLIANT POST! I agree. The reason? I have NEVER seen any mosque, or Muslim church or anything with any signs that are pro-american and against any terrorism. You have to pry it out of them when they are interviewed and asked that question on.. say.. Hannity and Colmes.
There are plenty of muslim churches in Lawrence, Ks. I have never seen any of them apologize.
I tend to agree dispite some of my Christian buddies who disagree and think that it is only the extremists. I think it is all Islam period.
I think they hate the Jews and the Christians.. We are both infidels to them.
I am SICK of hearing it is JUST the Jews. It is Christians too.
What adds to my nausiated stomach is when i hear Jeanne geraffalo claim we need to find out why they hate us and requiesce. (Spelling?) who cares, you knw what i am saying. My back hurts and I can’t stay on much longer!
ANyway, great post.. It is the truth.
Also,
Did you know that when you claim you are somewhat agnostic.. To a Christian that is fine, we won’t kill you for saying that. We will pray for you.
To an Islamist, if you live in their country where it is a theocracy you would be killed for saying that.
YET.. it is these ignorant liberals who hate Christians saying they are condemning them.
You tell me who has had more freedom over the past 200 or so years.. America, the country built on democracy and built by our forefathers who were Christians, who decidedly did not want a theocracy.. Or Afghanistan.
Which faith is confident in it’s own so much that it doesn’t have to force people to believe?
I guess this means you’re not going to be posting the lyrics to Kum-by-yah (or how ever you spell it).
I wonder if there’s any way to find out how many new Mosques have been built in this country in the last ten years or so. Are they, like the ones our troops have entered in the mideast, more like armories than religious centers?
Interesting article from Freedom House.
http://www.freedomhouse.org/religion/news/bn2005/bn-2005-01-28.htm
Okay I loooooove the W picture with the words on it. I got a huge laugh out of that.
For the most part I agree with you. Awhile back I read a book entitled, “Unveiling Islam” by Ergun & Emir Caner. My eyes were opened to the Islamic religion. The koran actually tells men that if their wives aren’t obedient they have the right to beat them.
In general I do not think Islam is a peaceful religion. I think most Muslims in the U.S. aren’t fanatical and so they are peaceful. But someone made a good point once that, what country that is an Islamic country is peaceful? I can’t think of one. All countries that claim to have Islam as their main religion are violent, dangerous countries. I have friends that are missionaries in an Islamic country and you can’t even get a government job if you aren’t Muslim.
I have been called a Right Wing Idiot and a purveyor of genocide for this but what the hell:
Kill em ALL and let Allah sort em out
We are engaged in a modern day version of the Crusades, plain and simple, Christianity vs Islam, and this time, the ragheads are trying to enter the *Big Leagues* with nukes…
We either STOP them NOW or pay for it soon… Very soon…
Anyone that can’t see it is blind… Hell, Ray Charles could see it…
Islam has one goal, domination of this planet and ALL it’s inhabitants… And if you don’t surrender to Islam they feel it’s their duty to kill you, and will do so, quite readily…
Well, some folks don’t go quietly into the night…
Kill em ALL and let Allah sort em out…
Do you suppose they *got it* this time?? I’ll say it again if necessary…
Great post! Really, would it be so hard for prominent Muslims to just say “we’re against terror”? Must be, cause I haven’t heard it yet.
Folks: over the past year I’d been assimilating books about Islam and attempting to understand how its collective mind operates. And the Middle East actually isn’t the largest center of the Muslim religion — it’s Indonesia. But the ME countries comprise, at this point, the largest threat.
The largest, most hypocritical point I’ve seen so few make is this: if Islam is in fact such a peaceful religion, where are the Islamic leaders decrying the terrorism on our soil and in other countries? Where, in the United States for example, are the mosques publicly coming out against the violent acts committed against the west and even Middle Easterners themselves? Where is it? I haven’t seen it. A religion of peace? On paper. In practice? I’m not seeing it.
That isn’t to say there aren’t many who hold to non-violent Islamic ways — clearly there are. But their silence is a tacit condonation of the violence perpetrated on so many, in so many despicable ways, by Islamist or Militant Islam — whatever its ugly name.
TF is correct and I take it one step further in a simile we may all be familiar with: We are Borg. You will be assimilated.
We are Islam. You will be converted. Or we’ll just kill you.
You are right on, BZ, but of course you know that!
No, I haven’t got any evidence of Muslims in this country standing up for America, but I’m sure that comes to no surprise to you or to anyone else here!
We are in for it, for certain. There’s no way around it. It’s us against them, and the loony left seems to believe it would be better if it were us. I can’t figure out the way they think. Makes no sense to me!
Iran must be dealt with, and yet we have many in this country wanting our troops to come home and pretend that everything is all hunky dorey…
It’s going to be a fight to the finish. You, me, and many others will stand our ground. Liberal moonbats will be crying for help, because that’s all they ever do!
Great post. Thank you!
BTW: I’m going to make mention of this post on My Republican Blog. I very rarely do that.
Was Timothy McVeigh a Muslim, Jew or a Christian, I forget?
Timothy McVeigh was a Charles Whitman with a knowledge of explosives and chemicals, at a time when no one was expecting it — despite the first WTC in 1993 and his was 04-19-95. I might suggest you get your archetypes right, sir.
Gayle: BTW, thank you VERY much for the reference on your blog; I am honored!

Wow Blo Zep! I appreciate your passion and always have. For that reason I like the picture, cuz it is funny. However, I will not say anything else about this post because it is harshhhhhh! I suppose I find it so because I am not part of whatever conservative blog connections are out there. Simply my humble opinion. Happy New Year!
Blo,
I just heard Clooney say something like “The way to stop terrorism isn’t to bomb states and call them ‘axis of evil’, we need to understand what creates these terrorists”.. I AM ABOUT READY TO EXPLODE!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM!! WOULD HE HAVE SAID THIS AFTER 9/11??
WHAT IS IT WITH ALL THESE WACKO LIBERALS IN HOLLYWOOD COMING OUT WITH STUFF LIKE ‘SLEEPER CELL’ TO ‘HUMANIZE’ THESE TERRORIST MONSTERS!
Rebecca darlin… Your question answered your own question, ie., They are simply “wackos.” No more explanation need be offered. A wacko, is a wacko is a wacko. To bad they don’t have pills for wacko’s to take that will “unwacko” them!
Mahndisa: always nice to see you check in and, yes, it is clearly judgmental and harsh. But this isn’t, in my opinion, a “we can debate this for some time” issue.
For this reason:
We can stop terrorist assaults on domestic soil only for a limited time. All we can do is to curtail the number of events that occur, because we are such an open and penetrated society. Terrorist cells are here, period. Plots are already aboil on American soil. Steve Emerson proves this indisputably. We are a cooperative. It is brain-glazingly easy to interrupt and damage a cooperative — particularly a capitalistic cooperative.
In terms of being harsh, I believe we need to remember two things: 1. Who began the fight and 2. The stakes.
Clearly history had proven, first to OBL and then to AQ, Hamas and the like, that America was a true Paper Tiger. 1993 WTC? What kind of reaction? Not much. Somalia? We lost a handful of troops, had our Blackhawk Down incident and pulled back. And so on.
So it would be, OBL and his associates concluded, if and when they could be successful in once again targeting the WTC. Then, in front of national and international audiences, the very root of evil capitalism, the Twin Towers, came crushing down on 3,000 US citizens, turning them essentially to paste.
Finally, here’s what I know: if a W-54 or its Russian equivalent, or some IED nuclear “dirty bomb” cooks off on US soil and we can regroup, the recriminations will be even more harsh — and the toll will be equally harsh in terms of loss of life, quality of life, lifestyle, economy and effect upon the world — not to mention the status and position of America in the global picture.
Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE will want to know how something like that could have happened but — of course, those will be facts in evidence AFTER the horse has left the barn.
That’s why treating terrorists as criminals diminishes the sacrifices good American soldiers have made on foreign soil on behalf of us all. They are not criminals. They do not deserve rights. They are warriors, trained in war, conscripted in war and boiled in the pot of religion. What religion? Islam.
And if anyone thinks you can even attempt to discuss logic and common sense with these people over a nice, steaming Starbucks and come to an amenable consensus, well, they’re a Moonbat.
That’s primarily why I’m harsh. High loss. High risk but high gain. We’re not talking bullets or knives. We’re talking CBN events.
A retraction (and an apology) is on My Republican Blog. Please go read it. I’m letting every one who posted a comment on my Social Security Blog know. I have learned a valuable lesson from this.
Well of course actors “want to understand…” because that is what they do. They try to understand other’s point of view in order to get into character. And so naturally they have an inflated ego because they “feel” they are more aware of other people’s motivation. Super Empathy if you will. Meanwhile, they really have NO CLUE about anything. Worrying about what Clooney, and the like, have to say makes about as much sense as worrying about your showdog farting in public.
Echo: if celebrities think they’re immune, they should re-think. Los Angeles is a wonderful mecca of potential targets, including Hollyweird itself, Disneyland, the LA Coliseum and the myriad of highly active ports, to include the Ports of LA and Long Beach. There are also some excellent refinery targets in El Segundo, Compton, City of Commerce, Glendale and more. Huge LNG ships, just as in “Syriana,” do indeed port in Los Angeles.
BTW: BZ, you’re welcome, and you are absolutely correct: Terrorist cells are here on American soil and it is only a matter of time! Harsh and true! It may already be too late to do anything about it.
I will say it one more time…. IF you worry too much about what people think of you, you will forget what they can do TO you!
In other words, if you worry so much about offending someone then they will attack you, your religion, your personal beliefs and your family. By the way Mr. Newdow, how was your day at the office on my chosen Christmas holiday? Mmmm… stayed at home did you? Your welcome!
We live in one of the only countries where we welcome them with open arms saying “come into our world and be free to pray to YOUR god” (Who by the way I think hates airplanes…they are always being hijacked in the name of alah.) And, large groups of them want the only place where they can worship freely to be wiped off the planet. They have refused to grow as the world has around them.
As for those of you repeating get our troops out of Iraq, I am right there with you… in statement only! Did you expect a war between world philosophies to be over by the time you got your food from the drive through employee at the front of the line?
The difference between Dem and us (you see what I did there, Dem=democrats, I kill myself) is that the war is taking time so it gave them a reason to start saying it wasn’t perfect we did not take out the fanatics like a sniper on a roof during a bank robbery. Hope your monday morning quarterback critique went well. If they thought about compassion they would realize that if all of the troops pulled out right now, extremists would have free reign to assasinate anyone who disagreed with them and would do it. So to Kerry and Murtha I would like to say sorry, we might have gotten in farther and deeper than we realized at the beginning, but if you walk away from something you started, you not only still have the problem, but another mess to clean up. Instead of pointing at the administration and yelling we we want answers, come up with viable solutions and methods to get to them and present them.
Oh and by the way if you want to be moved to tears… stand infront of the golden orb which until 9/11 stood at the Towers. It is dented, slashed and scathed. But there it stands, in battery park, behind a small flame.
I totally agree with Blo Zep. If we don’t wake up now then we may be bowing to mecca later. I take that back. Some will bow and a lot of us will die.
All the more reason to win in Iraq. Iraq would make a good jumping off place for Iran.
You’ve been tagged! 🙂
Hey BZ!
In this new information age I realized that I need a laptop. The greatest invention for a man was the cordless phone so he could take it into the bathroom (and not flush or you’d give yourself away). Anyway, I am always looking for good reading material and I visit you and Fred frequently. Well, not wanting to spend money on printing out your posts, there ya go. I need a laptop.
As of now the only thing in there are my wife’s magazines. Now I just feel fat and self conscious about myself looking at all the models. I have to go and eat some Ben and Jerry’s and watch Dr. Zhivago now.
Keep up the posts!!!!
