WHEN THE KILLERS COME FOR THE KIDS
NYPOST ^ | September 4, 2004 | Ralph Peters

Posted on 09/04/2004 8:00:04 AM PDT by jolie560

THE mass murder of children revolts the human psyche. Herod sending his henchmen to massacre the infants of Bethlehem haunts the Gospels. Nothing in our time was crueler than what the Germans did to children during the Holocaust. Slaughtering the innocents violates a universal human taboo. Or a nearly universal one. Those Muslims who preach Jihad against the West decided years ago that killing Jewish or Christian children is not only acceptable, but pleasing to their god when done by "martyrs."

It isn't politically correct to say this, of course. We're supposed to pretend that Islam is a "religion of peace." All right, then: It's time for Muslims to stand up for the once-noble, nearly lost traditions of their faith and condemn what Arab and Chechen terrorists and blasphemers did in the Russian town of Beslan.

If Muslim religious leaders around the world will not publicly condemn the taking of children as hostages and their subsequent slaughter — if those "men of faith" will not issue a condemnation without reservations or caveats — then no one need pretend any longer that all religions are equally sound and moral.

It should be right up there with Col Peters solution for terrorists, "Kill Them"

What do you expect from a society that sends its own children to their deaths with bombs strapped to them? Even animals have the instinct to protect their young.

Herod was an Arab.

No surprises there.

Was any war ever more necessary or just than the War on Terror?

Preemptive actions are necessary.
Kerry and his ilk need to stand down and GTF out of the way.

The silence has been deafening....

It was absolutely despicable. But is it any worse than 9/11? How many children were in the WTC and on those planes? How many children had one or both parents taken from them out of those 3,000 murders? Does a child suffer more when it's killed or kept hostage for a few days than one whose parents are senselessly and gruesomely murdered?

Those are not questions we want to think about or comparisons we are even capable of weighing and coming to some firm conclusion. The fact is that all these terrorist attacks are of the lowest most vile expressions of human hatred and delusion possible. There is no reason to treat these scum with any more consideration than one gives a rabid dog or a lethal bacteria. Exterminate them whenever and whereever they appear with extreme prejudice.

I always try to drop a plug in for RP's novels. Everyone out there should pick up "War in 2020" (unfortunate title, amazing read) and "Flames of Heaven." He also does a great Civil War series under the pen name "Owen Harry." Too much talent . . .

I wonder when we will have the guts to say openly that we are not engaged in a "War on Terror". We are engaged in a War with Islam, there should be no doubt of that. The world has seen with this barbarity committed by courageous Arab "holy warriors" that islam is the enemy - not "radical" islam. There is no distinction. Muslims world-wide need to stand up and indicate they are with the rest of the civilized world or they are with the islamic barbarians. There is no other term for these individuals.

Every school in America and every law enforcement agency had better have contingency plans.

A final thought: Did any of those protesters who came to Manhattan to denounce our liberation of 50 million Muslims stay an extra day to protest the massacre in Russia? Of course not.

The protesters no more care for dead Russian children than they care for dead Kurds or for the hundreds of thousands of Arabs that Saddam Hussein executed. Or for the ongoing Arab-Muslim slaughter of blacks in Sudan. Nothing's a crime to those protesters unless the deed was committed by America.

Check history. It is necessary to de-humanize your enemy so when you begin killing them with reckless abandon, it’s just like shooting beer cans off a fence post. Muslims, islamofacists, anyone that even looks toward Mecca once during the day have a toe over the line. The west won’t have to fire up the propaganda machine to accomplish the necessary de-humanizing. They are doing it for us.

Just makes you wonder how much more the west will take before we start shooting those beer cans off the fence.
