The non-war on Islam
The past two US presidents, including the current one, have repeatedly said that the US is not at war with Islam. As much as this Administration has tried to convince Islam that there is no war, the war is declared by Islam and Islam is behaving as if it is at war with the US. It’s kind of like “We are not at war with Islam, but Islam is at war with us.” Or similarly, “Not all Muslims are terrorists, but most terrorists are Muslims.” Very similar. Remember the “president’s” remarks in his conciliatory speech to Islam on June 4, 2009: “In Ankara, I made clear that America is not–and never will be–at war with Islam.” There is not doubt, however, that Islam is at war with America. Indicators are increasingly being exposed.
Just this week, another Muslim was convicted on terrorist charges. AP reports: “Fazliddin Kurbanov, a Russian-speaking truck driver who fled Uzbekistan in 2009, was arrested two years ago by federal authorities who said he was determined to carry out an attack on US soil. Prosecutors also said he tried to provide computer support and money to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, which the US government has identified as a terrorist organization.” Three others were arrested within the last seven days on terrorist charges, in attempts to either join or aid and abet the Islamic State (IS). Many in America are being “radicalized,” as they say, through IS’s adept social media platform.
Even Democrats are growing uneasy about the Administration’s inept efforts at countering IS social media. Politico reports: “The faltering effort is just the latest example of a troubling trend for the administration: While ISIL uses social media to grow its movement, by grooming curious teenagers and circulating gruesome videos designed to go viral, the U.S. online response is crawling at bureaucratic speed. The government’s main vehicle to counter the group’s messaging on the Internet – a State Department Twitter account urging people to “Think Again” about joining or supporting ISIL – has drawn scorn from lawmakers like Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), who has called it “laughable” for its lack of engagement.”
A review of the “Think Again” site confirms Booker’s description of laughable. Meanwhile, IS is cranking out warnings that it is going to soon be beheading Americans in their homes. The Blaze interviewed an IS hacking group member on Kik where the IS warned that it will soon be attacking American servicemen, saying “you will see when US military and government personnel start getting beheaded in their homes.” The frequency of attacks is increasing and the warnings are becoming more specific. Islam in America is an issue that must be addressed. Proverbs 29:12 says, “If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked.” That June 4 speech set the tone and opened the door. Who will stand to close it?
