Roosevelt's "Navy Day Adress" October 27, 1941

Your government has in its possession another document made in Germany by Hitler's government. It is a detailed plan, which, for obvious reasons, the Nazis did not wish and do not wish to publicize just yet, but which they are ready to impose-a little later-on a dominated world-if Hitler wins. It is a plan to abolish all existing religions-Protestant, Catholic, Mohammedan, Hindu, Buddhist and Jewish alike. The property of all churches will be seized by the Reich and its puppets. The cross and all other symbols of religion are to be forbidden. The clergy are to be forever silenced under penalty of the concentration camps, where even now so many fearless men are being tortured because they have placed God above Hitler.

In the place of the churches of our civilization, there is to be set up an International Nazi Church-a church which will be served by orators sent out by the Nazi Government. In the place of the Bible, the words of Mein Kampf will be imposed and enforced as Holy Writ. And in place of the cross of Christ will be put two symbols-the swastika and the naked sword.

A God of Blood and Iron will take the place of the God of Love and Mercy. - SOURCE

We are under attack by the naked sword of Islam too. Liberating women from slavery is not the reason we fight the islamic menace, it's just happy by-product.

Pointing out the difference in the way Muslims and Christians treat their women can only help our side. The natural instinct of the left is to side with the enemies of the US. They won't do this if they realize that all Americans have a common enemy in radical Islam. We must combat the idea emanating from the left that the Christian Right is the equivalent of the Taliban.

We are under attack from a fanatic internationalist group, who may draw their inspiration and motive from their religious beliefs, but are distinguished by several significant characteristics, that are extremely relevant:

1. They do not respect borders, governments or the ethnic integrity of peoples, even of their own faith.

2. They do not respect other peoples cultural differences.

3. They do not have the means to manufacture the armaments to equip armies, but must buy or steal materials produced by others.

You quote Roosevelt as to the Nazi onslaught against traditional religion, and suggest that as an argument for your own proposed onslaught against Islam? Why would you want to broaden the war to include the legitimate Islamic Governments--the original target of Bin Laden?

It sounds like you have an agenda not unlike that of which Roosevelt accused the Nazis. Why? You do not compromise your Christianity by limiting your war to the actual enemy--those actually attacking us. You do not help that war effort, by antagonizing a larger and larger segment of the population of the earth.

It is, of course, ridiculous to compare Bin Laden as an adversary to Hitler or Stalin. Those men had the means to produce--not buy or steal--to produce, and invent very advanced systems to be produced on a large scale. They had the capacity to do to us what neither Bin Laden nor those cheering him on, could ever hope to do. Do you understand the technological gap between us and this foe? Yes, they made an effective use of three of four hi-jacked planes. It was certainly a wake up call. But we are basically at war with an anarchist force. This is not Armageddonen, which was limited, I believe to peoples in the Near East and Asia Minor, anyway; and it certainly is not World War III.
