Will Obama’s “Empathy” Prevent Another 9/11?
Cross Action News ^ | 9-17-08 | Robert Spencer

As the seventh anniversary of the jihadist murder of nearly 3,000 American civilians passed last week, it is useful to recall an article that the Hyde Park Herald published on September 19, 2001 – written by a young Illinois state senator named Barack Obama. Even all these years later, it is revealing of the mindset of the man who would be leader of the free world.

Obama starts out well enough, saying: “We need to step up security at our airports. We must reexamine the effectiveness of our intelligence networks. And we must be resolute in identifying the perpetrators of these heinous acts and dismantling their organizations of destruction.” He then, however, almost immediately veers into psychobabble.

We are fighting an enemy which will strap explosives on women suffering from Down syndrome. Empathy for them isn't going to convince them not to attack us.

Depeche Mode playing on top of WTC:

“Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me”

WTC was not what they were thinking, but pretty chilling seeing this vid.

Why would obama want to discourage his brothers in their quest to destroy America?

“it grows “out of a climate of poverty and ignorance, helplessness and despair.”

Yassir Arafat, Saddam Hussein, and Osama Bin Laden were all billionaires. It was not poverty that made them plot massive death and destruction.

Obama hasn’t learned that those who would bully another will strike again and again until he is hit back.

He’s closer to clueless.

“In other words, poverty causes Islamic jihad. Obama reiterated this point last July during a CNN interview”

THE KORAN CAUSES ISLAMIC JIHAD:

THE KORAN PROMISES COUNTRIES TO CONQUER AND THE SPOILS THERIN:
Sura 33 “And he bequeathed to you their lands, their homes and their possessions, together with land you have never trodden” (33.27) .

MUSLIMS ARE INSTRUCTED IN THE KORAN TO BE STILL UNTIL THEY HAVE THE NUMBERS IN THE COUNTRIES THEY HAVE INVADED:
“Be patient with unbelievers until you have strength” (86.17).

THE KORAN INSTRUCTS MUSLIMS TO FIGHT CHRISTIANS, JEWS AND CONQUER THE WORLD FOR ISLAM:

WARFARE IS ORDAINED FOR YOU, though it is hateful unto you; but it may happen that you hate a thing which is good for you and it may happen that you love a thing which is bad for you. (2.216)

Fight those among the People of the Book [i.e. Jews and Christians] ... who do not profess the true religion, until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued. (9.29)

“AND FIGHT THEM UNTIL THERE IS NO PERSECUTION , AND RELIGION SHALL BE ONLY FOR ALLAH 2:193
