LOSING THE WAR ON TERROR - AT HOME!

According to a former congressman who served under the Bush administration, there were about 35 terror threats prevented by Homeland Security and regional police enforcement. Personally I know of ten different terror plots, some that would have impacted public schools, cruise ships and U.S. military bases. With the exception of three plots that made national news, the others were dealt with and not made public. This is partially due to preventing a panic among the general population and partially due to keeping methods of collecting information from liberal media journalists that would focus on the "rights" of terrorists on our own soil.



In 2009, after taking office, President Obama made it known that the words "Islamic terrorists," would no longer be used while he was president. During his campaign, he never used his middle name "Hussein," and he seldom emphasized the fact that members of his family, including his father and stepfather, were Muslims. However, after becoming president he made speeches in the Islamic countries of Egypt and Turkey in which he not only bragged on Islam's influence and prestige in history but also on how Muslims were involved in the formation of America and how that America was "enriched by Islam." While in Turkey, Obama stated how that "the Islamic faith has done so much to shape the world... including my own country." Huh? Did I miss that history class in school? My history book revealed how America had to form a national document that today is housed in Constitution Hall in Washington D.C. that gave America power to form a Navy to fight against the Barbary pirates that were seizing out ships. Muslims were not a part of the 12 million black slaves that came to America from Africa, but were the slave traders selling their own brothers as slaves. There is no record of any Muslim in the Revolution, or any listed on record during World War I. Only after World War II did many Muslims begin to come to America, partially because of political and spiritual strife in their nations. A large percentage of the Muslims in America are black Muslims, especially those linked with the Nation of Islam, whose headquarters in Chicago is located in the same district where Obama was a Community Organizer, and near the very church where Obama attended.



Since his swearing in as the 44th President, America has witnessed the rise of homegrown terrorists. With the assistance of the FBI and Homeland Security, these "sleepers" have been exposed prior to their attacks or while in the process of acting out their plans, not realizing their explosives and devices were fake because they had been obtained by under cover agents. However, the recent and terrible assault on the United States troops at Foot Hood in Texas that left 12 dead and 31 wounded has caused my blood to boil. The shooter, Major Maliq Nadal Hassan, was a practicing Muslim whose recent history, now being exposed, reveals he was a fanatical Muslim with a Jihadist mindset. Maliq had posted on web sites his admiration for suicide bombers. Warning signs were seen by doctors and those who knew this man but because the nation has become "politically correct," individuals chose to remain silent as not to offend his Islamic religion. I just wonder if this fellow was a Baptist or a Pentecostal, would be have been treated with such kid gloves?



This is NOT the first time an "American" soldier has turned on American troops. During the early stages of the war in Iraq, a Muslim soldier in the U.S. Army went on a rampage and shot several troops in their tents. Another American soldier was shot by a Muslim in Arkansas. Here is where my blood boils. With the exception of Fox News, the major media outlets and the Administration ignored the fact that this man was a fanatical Muslim and refused to call the assault at the Base a "terror attack!" The Obama administration said we should not "Jump to conclusions," and that we must not "Judge others by this man's beliefs." Really? It was this type of radical thinking that blew up two embassies in Africa, blasted a hole in the U.S.S. Cole, brought down the Twin Towers and left a black hole in the side of the Pentagon. Further, it resulted in sending America into two Islamic nations to fight a war against a segment of the Islamic world that desires the death and destruction of Americans.



Now, the generals on the ground are saying we need more troops in Afghanistan to win the resurgence that is occurring. Each day it seems more troops are dying and the president waits, and waits, and refuses to act. The reason is that his liberal base wants us out of Afghanistan and Iraq and this may upset his voting block. Another reason, Obama announced in Turkey that America is "Not at war with Islam and never will be!" Certainly we are neither at war with Muslims at large nor any religion, but to say that we will never be at war implies that Obama will be passive and submit to whatever comes his way in the name of Islam. While Iran builds a nuclear bomb, the administration sits back and says, "Let's give them time to see what plays out."



The whole episode reminds me of Former President Jimmy Carter, who sat by for 444 days while hostages were held in Iran, and allowed the interest rates to rise at 19%, and sent the economy in a tail spin that took years to recover. I personally know of and have Muslims friends in the Middle East and they are very friendly towards me and we often talk about the Bible and Spiritual truths. Certainly, most Muslims are not fanatical and jihadists. However, the passivity of our president is read by the fanatics as weakness. I predict if he continues along this path, of refusing to speak of Islamic terrorists, he will experience in his administration difficulties with these radical groups. Remember that he may brag on his Muslim names (Barak was the name of Mohammad's white stallion, and Hussein was one of the early leaders in the Shiite branch of Islam), his Islamic background, and say he will do everything to defend the Muslim faith, but the jihadists are not impressed. They will continue their plots and weakness of the enemy is their motivation.



Let's call the shooting in Fort Hood what it is - the worst terrorist attack on American soil since 9-11. IT is time to quit being politically correct!
