Good Question, Don

Don Feder asks the obvious – If Islam is so peaceful, why do they have to keep reminding us?

“Last week, four Southern Baptists were arrested for plotting to blow up St Patrick’s Cathedral. The men, who became born-again Christians in prison, wanted to kill and terrorize Catholics.”

 If that was the opening paragraph in a newspaper story you were reading, your gut reaction would be – huh? Baptists don’t do things like that in the name of their faith. Neither do Catholics, Presbyterians, Seventh Day Adventists or Mormons.

 But when we read the headline in a May 21st   New York Times’ story — “4 Accused of Bombing Plot at Bronx Synagogues” — it was ho-hum stuff.

 It wasn’t exactly a revelation when The Times informed us, in the 9th paragraph, “They are all Muslims, a law enforcement official said” – just in case you thought the conspiracy involved Episcopalians, Rotarians or the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.

 If you hear about a hijacking, suicide bombing, sniper attack or the beheading of a hostage anywhere in the world, your first reaction is: a Muslim did it. Why? Because 9 times out of 10 a Muslim did do it.

In the case of The Newburgh Four, here’s what we know:

 Their names are David “Daoud” Williams, James “Abdul Rahman” Cromitie, Onta “Hamza” Williams and Laguerre “Amin” Payen.  At least two were prison-converts to the Big Peaceful.

  1. They planned to blow up two synagogues with what they thought was C-4 explosives, supplied by the FBI.
  2. They wanted to obtain Stinger missiles to shoot down military aircraft.
  3. As Assistant US Attorney Eric Snyder stated when the defendants were arraigned in federal court, “These are people who were eager to bring death to Jews and the Jewish community.”
  4. According to an informant, Cromitie said of the Jewish people: “I hate those motherf—–s, those f—ing Jewish bastards. I would like to get a synagogue.” Also, while scoping out a Jewish community center as a potential target, Cromitie is alleged to have said of nearby pedestrians that if he had a gun at the time, he would “shoot each one in the head.”

 If Islam is such a “religion of peace,” why do they have to keep reminding us? Nobody’s running around saying “Christianity is a religion of peace” or “Judaism is a religion of peace” – because neither proposition is in doubt.

Yet, George W. Bush felt compelled to regularly reassure us (especially after 9/11) that Islam was about as peaceful as a religion can get.

 Speaking at a 2005 dinner marking the end of Ramadan, Bush’s Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, said Mohammedanism was “the religion of love and peace.” For Condi, being peaceful wasn’t enough. Islam had to be warm and cuddly too. “We in America know the benevolence that is at the heart of Islam,” Rice absurdly remarked. “We’ve seen it in many ways” –including in glorious Technicolor, in the video of the decapitation of Daniel Pearl.

Read the whole thing.  A good reminder, too, of how this country’s ruling caste – from both parties – have traitorously sold out the welfare of the people for the sake of appeasing those who hate us. 

Time for a new ruling caste.

    People have become so overly self-aware and indoctrinated in the art of correctness that it has become an unnatural feeling to hate things that you don’t understand. Of course people cannot stop hating, so they simply change the focus of their hate to the target that their handlers have deftly chosen : US, the incessant voices of reason muttering the truth about Islam, the reason you can’t spend your way out of debt, why taxing CO2 is stupid, etc. etc…

    Hate has a purpose, just like pain. It’s how you react to those feelings of hate that matter and make you the person that you are.

    When you find yourself constantly looking for a solution (islam is peace, the religion of peace, blah blah blah) you also need to recognize that there is a problem.

    Great post : )

    Don Feder is a family friend. My niece used to be over his old house in Massachusetts (he lives in New Hampshire now).

    I like in his autograph to me he referred to me as a strong voice for the Jewish people. That was in my old activist days in the 80s and early 90s.
