Barbarous murder in France should be wake-up call
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Ilan Halimi's barbarous murder in France should awaken all Jews to the most significant truth of our times: Today, every Jew in the world is on the front lines of war.
As was the case seventy years ago, every Jew today is a target for our enemies, who shout from every soapbox and prove at every opportunity, that their goal is the annihilation of the Jewish people. From 1933-1945, the enemy was Nazi Germany. Today, the enemy is political Islam. Its call for jihad aimed at annihilating the Jews and dominating the world is answered by millions of people throughout the world.
Among the lessons of the Holocaust, there is one that is almost never mentioned. That lesson is that it is possible, and indeed fairly easy to exterminate the Jews. The fact that the Holocaust happened proves that it is absolutely possible for the Jewish people to be wiped off the map - just as Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hamas leader Khaled Mashal promise.
The story of Ilan Halimi's murder at the hands of a terrorist gang of French Muslims brings to the surface the various pathologies now converging to make the prospect of annihilating all Jews seem possible to our enemies. First, there are the murderers who took such apparent pleasure and felt such pride in the fact that for twenty days they tortured their Jewish hostage to death.

The harry part is that Islam has a lot more staying power than the Nazis.
Christians are politically active, I'm aware of that. But the idea of a Christian theocracy is a moonbat idea. It's not something that Christians want to establish.
But Islam is different. The whole concept of Sharia Law is something that has no real counterpart in Christianity.
To the extent that Muslim populations can influence politics, they will do so in such a way so as to oppress non-Muslims. Truly something that our Founding Fathers did not anticipate.
Islam is only the first wave of several.
Above all is the nemy within.
Enemy, doh!
Yet, France is arm-twisting the EU to support Hamas.
I think that when we really look at it objectively, that western man identified totalitarianism as the enemy several hundred years ago. For most of that time, what the world has seen is people rising up against the totalitarianism in their own government (the American Revolution, etc.), but in the mid-20th century we embarked upon a crusade to wipe out totalitarianism throughout the world. Islam is that last real totalitarian threat in the world, of course there are others but they don't want to dominate the world.
The only real problem we are facing now is the deliberate unwillingness to identify Islam itself as the enemy. We had no problem identifying the Japanese or the Germans as the enemy in WWII, but we won't do it now. It is this political correctness that is hindering us in this crusade.
Such is the nature of their "holy book", that the sound of torture is the perfect background music as it is being read.
"Anti-Semitism in the Muslim dominated suburbs of Paris and other French cities is all-encompassing. As Nidra Poller related in Thursday's Wall Street Journal, "One of the most troubling aspects of this affair is the probable involvement of relatives and neighbors, beyond the immediate circle of the gang [of kidnappers], who were told about the Jewish hostage and dropped in to participate in the torture."
If Christianity wanted to establish a theocracy, they would have done it well over a thousand years ago. Christianity had absolute control over Europe for centuries and even though the treatment of the Jews was deplorable, at no time did Christianity attempt anything on the level of the theocracy that Islam is trying to impose.
Islam is a much greater threat than was nazi Germany. Germany was a single counrty bend on world domination and genocide. Simialrly Islam is an extremely repressive totalitarian society with genocidal intentions much greater than those of Germany. Where Germany was localized to europe, Islam is spread theoughout the globe and has over 1 billion supporters including many fanatical enough to sacrifice their lives to kill thousands. They are also well infiltrated among many western nations. Furthermore Islamofanatic countrys are geographically positioned to control the lifeblood of western countries, and the most radical will soon have nuclear weapons and give no indication they will hesitate to use the or be deterred by mutually assured destruction. These people make nazi Germany look like a boy scout troop.
Its not like they haven't warned us.
In a symbolic sense, those of us who are not followers of Islam are all Jews now, so we must stick together in unity.
It should not surprise anyone that political Islam WAS allied with Germany in WWI, then Nazi Germany in WWII. They had the same goals; world domination and destruction of the Jews.
Good lord...
I agree with you more than 100%.
Say Islamic jihad is silenced and defeated utterly. We still have the ACLU pushing its leftist crap down our throats, and their goal is total control just as totalitarian as Islamic jihad's. Hateseech, hatecrimes, homosexual indoctrination of every school child, destroy the BSA, make sure everyone's a good little multi culti, of course no hateful weaponry, and more - all on our dime.
