Unfinished Business, Part 3
 

The President won’t say it, of course, though it needs to be said, and it will come to be said, now that the blood of Saudis has been shed. Muslims will be the first to say it publicly, and they will say it in terms that can be understood in areas of the world where time is measured with a sundial and all else is confusion and struggle. The message will be clear and accurate, for it will summarize and crystallize truth in a way that is much too basic for the delicate, refined, and cultured ears of nuanced, liberal, and erudite Americans and Europeans. 

“Would Allah approve of the killing of children? Would Allah approve of the deliberate spreading of lies? Of course not! So, if Allah does not approve, then who is it that seeks to kill the innocent? Who is the Father of Lies?

“It is Satan.

“What does that make those who take innocent life, or encourage such killing? Martyrs? Never! What does that make those who spread lies and attack the Truth? They are the sons and daughters of Satan. They serve the Master of Evil. They must be rooted out and destroyed. Those who harbor them are the servants of Satan and must also be removed from existence. It is the duty of each person who believes in Allah to join us in this great battle against Satan.”

We will not hear this message from New Age Catholic Priests, or the hip Protestants who share the ever-so-ecumenical attitude with its mantras: ‘one religion is just as good as another’ and ‘let us welcome the pagans and not exclude them because it says, somewhere, ‘judge not, lest ye be judged,’ though, of course, we really should not take that Book too literally, like that crazy cowboy in the White House, and excuse me, but I must add, may the Supreme One save us all from another 4 years of ‘W’, though, of course, we do not mean to imply that just because some of us think there may actually be a Supreme Being that we mean that others who believe in worshipping the Mother Earth are wrong’.

We will not hear it from the so-called, non-judgmental crowd, who ask, when hearing of the latest slaughter of innocent life, ‘why do they hate us? what did we do to cause them to murder these children?’ We won’t hear it from their all-embracing brethren and sisters, who profess, ‘let’s not exclude any who love, even if they are men loving men, or women loving women, because love is love, and love is power, and love will overcome, and love will bring us affirmative action, and love will rectify the wrongs of the past, and love will uplift and empower the oppressed to get reparations, and it will be love that overcomes those who hold back those who struggle for social justice, and love will defeat their enemies who drive their gas-guzzling SUVs to the soccer fields and the malls’.

We will not hear it from our totally-inclusive ministers and strangely anti-Israeli rabbis hanging-out at Ben & Jerry’s on the Left Coast and in the Village in New York, and effete enclaves in-between. They will dare not utter such verbiage, of course, or even discuss the topic except to piously suggest that, ‘we should be more concerned about global warming, genetically-altered food, meat-eating dangers, acid rain and ecological doomsday caused by capitalism, as well as the Republican control of Congress, and we must save the caribou from Exxon, and work to stop Microsoft and Wal-Mart’. 

This message will someday spread from the speakers atop minarets and from pulpits inside mosques, and sink into the consciousness of those who measure life by the sands of time and know that these grains quickly pass for all. That message will not be heard until the horror grows in their midst and they learn that they are no longer exempt from the monster they have fed, and have fully harvested the whirlwind of hatred that has been sown for two (2) generations in the Middle East in the name of the Prophet. There must be atonement.

When they learn the lesson, and receive the message, they will not hesitate to remove from their midst the sons and daughters of Satan who now shriek in delight when they learn that innocent lives have been slaughtered, and who continue to foment hatred and destruction. Only Muslims can make this change.

We can enable those who seek to reform. We can facilitate their efforts with out force and wealth, but we will never be able to win their hearts and minds. This fight must be won by their own leaders, arising from within, who recognize the eternal and universal truths recognized here in 1776.  It then also took a sacrifice of blood and treasure to secure the opportunity to build a more perfect nation.

But much worse will come before this occurs. Evil has risen from the sands of Iraq, where it has rooted for 5,000 years, and it has shed all pretense of subtlety. Evil revels in this new round of absolute, mindless horror, its bloodlust insatiable, and now only warming to the levels it will soon unleash, caring not whether it is the blasting of kindergarten children or random and targeted bombings in Iraq or Saudi Arabia.

Only the fool can now believe that this monster will rest and remain in Iraq. It will strike in all directions and all places. There is no place on earth that is safe. The cowards have bought time, but they will be required to submit, again and again, and the price will be greater each time. They will be required to turn against their churches and abandon their faith, and many will. This will not be difficult. They have given up as much for far less. A nation or a civilization that can yield the innocent unborn child for mere creature comfort will give up anything when their own personal safety is threatened. This is not about Iraq. This is about Good and Evil. It is total war.

When the blasts occur, Americans and Europeans avert our eyes, or scurry like panic-stricken Spaniards at the first hint of distress, or bolt like the ever-cowardly French and totally-impotent Germans. We don’t want to see the World Trade Center attack replayed, because it might upset our children. The backward may live in the Middle East, but the fools live amongst us. The surest sign is the commentary by liberal media outlets that, ‘if we’d only left Saddam alone, none of this would have happened.’ This was coming and we happen to live in the time when it manifested on the world stage.

When the minarets and the mosques carry the message, and the campaign to purge the Muslim world of this scourge gets underway, Satan will make a strategic withdrawal to another lair, content to salivate over the bones and souls harvested in this most recent campaign. There the Prince of Darkness will wait until the right conditions return, as they always do. In the meantime, Evil incarnate will continue his most productive work of enabling self-degeneracy among the elitists mentioned above, who lack the basic understanding of those who trod in sand and watch the sundial.
