The Stout Republican

Of Al Qaida and Terrorism…

"…This is a struggle that will last a generation and more. But this I believe passionately: we will not win until we shake ourselves free of the wretched capitulation to the propaganda of the enemy, that somehow we are the ones responsible…

…This is a war fought by extremists who pervert the true faith of Islam.  And all of us, Western and Arab, Christian or Muslim, who put the value of tolerance, respect and peaceful co-existence above those of sectarian hatred, should join together to defeat them…

…If we retreat now, hand Iraq over to Al Qaida and sectarian death squads and Afghanistan back to Al Qaida and the Taleban, we won’t be safer; we will be committing a craven act of surrender that will put our future security in the deepest peril…

I have only two observations to add to this,

1) A corollary to the ancient Arab proverb, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". The friend of my enemy, is my enemy.

2) Islam, the highest transgression of your faith is to practice "shirk", are Al Qaida your partners in Allah?

I will not stop,
