formidable foe than Al-Qaeda, and has been killing Americans for much longer. One hopes that planners in the US military realize that its past time to make Hezbollah and all its admirers understand that there are no exceptions to the new rule stated so eloquently by George Bush: "If you attack Americans, America will bring you to justice, or bring justice to you." When Osama makes good on his promise to attack ‘Red’ States (who voted for Bush in the 2004 elections), will the ‘Blue’ states finally connect the dots …or will they just say; ‘too bad they voted for Bush’ and only <strong>of</strong>fer heart-felt condolences. To win, we must become the ‘United’ States <strong>of</strong> America, take <strong>of</strong>f the kid gloves, and more persuasively dissuade all Islamic militants from their violent inclinations.
Chapter 24 Liberty Threatened The appeal <strong>of</strong> Islam has many roots, some are even noble, but those mandating violence against nonbrothers are not, or at least not by the standards <strong>of</strong> non-Muslims. When Islam is judged against universally accepted standards <strong>of</strong> morality, this Arabian religion fails to qualify as the friend and guide <strong>of</strong> humanity it claims to be. Muslims will protest against this point <strong>of</strong> view, and as usual will produce weak tidbits or far-fetched evidence to prove that Islam advocates the love and brotherhood <strong>of</strong> mankind, ignoring the larger realities <strong>of</strong> Jihad and 1400 years <strong>of</strong> history. This type <strong>of</strong> sorcery has worked wonders for Islamists and their apologists in the past, but with modern dissemination <strong>of</strong> knowledge, one hopes it will become more difficult to cloud the truth with the magic <strong>of</strong> misinterpretation and spin. America has appreciated and duly noted the <strong>of</strong>ficial moderate Muslim perspective, but in addition to well thought-out <strong>of</strong>ficial releases … what action will Islam now take to manage its own? What are Muslims going to do to reign-in and punish clerics inciting hatred, violence, and constantly calling for the most popular interpretation <strong>of</strong> Jihad? Are moderate Muslims strong and powerful enough to actually do something about the fire-breathing clerics and militants amongst them? Can they wrest power from the militants and take control <strong>of</strong> defining and administering the central tenants and teachings <strong>of</strong> Islam? Will effective action ever be taken against the supposedly holy clerics inciting and celebrating hatreds and violence? To have any chance to ultimately win what promises to be a long war against Islamic fanatics, we must, as Sun Tze in "The Art <strong>of</strong> War" says, "Understand the enemy." To date America has done a very poor job <strong>of</strong> identifying to its citizenship just exactly who is the enemy and what is the ideology driving them. There is also a constant stream <strong>of</strong> misinformation spewed by Islamic apologists and propagandists, which has resulted in confusion and lack <strong>of</strong> focus, with its resulting ambiguity <strong>of</strong> policy and inadequate responses. Islamic terror continues unabated in Iraq, Indonesia, the Philippines, Su<strong>dan</strong>, Israel, and elsewhere, with no end in sight. Islam, the so-called "Religion <strong>of</strong> Peace", continues to be a breeder <strong>of</strong> hatred and an incubator <strong>of</strong> willing foot soldiers, having neither boundary nor limits. Nor is there any semblance <strong>of</strong> humanity in Islamic extremists’ brutality. The beating and hanging from a bridge over the Euphrates River <strong>of</strong> four lifeless, mutilated, charred American civilian bodies, and the brutal beheading <strong>of</strong> Nick Berg are just more graphic and indelible testimony <strong>of</strong> their inhumanity. Responsible members <strong>of</strong> the human race hope that among the first things Islam would do is to <strong>of</strong>ficially condemn the racist use <strong>of</strong> the word INFIDEL, and to recognize in both its teachings and law the equality <strong>of</strong> all races, religions, and sexes. It should also apologize for all past prejudicial teachings and practices. Sadly, the only intelligent conclusion which can be drawn by a pragmatic analysis <strong>of</strong> fundamental Islam, is that hope for reform and modernization is impossible for the majority <strong>of</strong> Muslims. To admit any flaw whatsoever, or to reform any basic wiring or tenant <strong>of</strong> Islam is to discredit the whole philosophy to its roots. Another fundamental weakness <strong>of</strong> Islam is that it does not have a central administration or organized self-regulatory mechanisms. This weakness leaves the door wide open for the hijacking <strong>of</strong> individuals, families, clans, mosques, sects, regions, or countries, by any despot with a personal agenda. Anyone can claim to represent Islam and rise to be a holy man without any appointment, education, or actual calling. The first and only requirement appears to be a strong aspiration to the position, or in other words, greed for power and influence. Islam needs to correct this mistake, or it will continue to be used as it has in the past, to inspire and express hatred, for violence, and as a lever used to gain personal power. Some think, and it seems reasonable, that Islam herself was the most injured by the attacks on 9/11. Could it be that those four airliners inflicted a wound on Islam that will result in untold turmoil and sorrow amongst her own? God is not subject to interpretation by mere mortals, nor is He the personal property <strong>of</strong> any group or individual. Certainly, if there is only one God, then the question begs asking; are these extremist Muslim leaders actually affiliated with Him? Whether they represent the majority or minority in their cultures, angry hateful Muslims could not possibly be acquainted with a kind, benevolent, and loving God <strong>of</strong> us all. Further, as long as their minds are so clouded with Hate, the probability <strong>of</strong> spiritual enlightenment or an intellectual epiphany is at absolute zero. However, one might
