Islamic Radicalism in Mexico: The Threat from South of the Border

This article reads like a script for the old TV program "Mission Impossible" gone berserk. Up to and including "Western" rabble rousers who have changed their names to blend into the local population that is the target of their manipulations.

Why does it seem that most movements in the world today fomenting hatred for the white race and Western civilization and all its institutions including the sovereignty of the U.S. seem to be instigated by dysfunctional extremists who are frequently the offspring of wealthy families who have amassed their great wealth largely as a result of the success of the societies their offspring are now so psychotically motivated to destroy?

We might want to consider monitoring more carefully the education and development of the offspring of the international and national dynastic families birthed in America and in Europe and in Asia and in the Middle East. Most of the players on the world stage today fit that category. May be that once you have everything money can buy, and more, your world becomes a chessboard and the only way you can feel like you are really alive is to play god with the lives of nations and with the destiny of the human race itself.

Excellent post! You should post this in a blog.

"by dysfunctional extremists who are frequently the offspring of wealthy families who have amassed their great wealth largely as a result of the success of the societies their offspring are now so psychotically motivated to destroy? "

Usually it is the offspring of wealthy socialist, liberal families. Kennedy family comes to mind.

This could be a big problem in the upcoming decades.

OK Osama Bin Laden isn't the Pope of Islam, he's the Dope of Islam.

The chiapas situation was hellish, and I have no pretensions to judge it one way or another.

But I do seem to remember the Chiapas rebels being Lefty heroes, can anybody confirm my memory, and whether they are among those prone to Islamic conversion? Sometimes it seems like Mohammed is the new Che.

[expatguy]

Someone looks like he is starting to see that Islam is as much a political ideology as it is a religion.

I am not so familiar with the situation. The author in the article I posted seems to downplay the Islamic conversion as a threat in Chiapas. He says so in the Chiapas section. Who knows?

I just know we have a big problem here and our politicians--including W--don't know what to do.

[MinuteWoman1776]

Yes, I fear that. But the author seems to downplay the threat. It seems like he is saysing that Mexican Muslims are not the threat but Mexico is because of its vulnerability.

Who knows? I just know that I am Bushfatigued!!!!!!! Can we have a real convervative in power next? Don't think it will happen. And please, no Christian Convervatives!!! I had enough of W's whining. He is worried about the Marriage Amendment while our boys are dying in Iraq and terrorists are plotting us more harm. Somebody, please help!

[MinuteWoman1776]

well, radical jews are pretty nutty too, i might say. especially those settler types.

let's protect america's borders and american interests. Can't wait for W to go so we have a shot at a real conservative.

[MinuteWoman1776]

thanks. good to be here. i am having lots of fun and learning too.

"Can we have a real convervative in power next?"

The possible campaign of Senator George Allen (R-VA) has promise. First he has to be reelected this year, but that's very likely though not a certainty.

"For me this is the crux of the immigration issue. With uncontrolled borders and I'm not just talking about the south, you can't hope to truly maintain a lawful state of affairs."

Why is it we see the obviously duel border threats yet so many in Washington do not or do not care?

What you stated about not just our southern border has enormous merit as recent Canadian news inform US.

Well worth repeating:

"The current state of forced integration being perpetrated by Washington and Mexico can't work, it tears down too many American institutions and will balkanize the region rather than uniting it. It will result in war and it doesn't have too, which makes me question just what does Washington, really want."

[M. Espinola]

My main problem with illegal aliens is so only want to use our country for monetary gain and have no desire to either speak English nor become real Americans.

How many Mexican government offices display signs in English. Are Mexican voting ballots printed in English, French and scores of other languages - no way.

Not to mention Mexican votes at the UN do not usually support the American overview.

Your summery speaks to the core of the issue.

"We that are truly concerned about this great country and are disgusted with having to pay to support a bunch of lawbreakers and their employers are referred to by some as "borderbots", "whackos", "immigration hysterics", when in truth those calling us names need to see the scam perpetrated on all Americans by socialist liberals, only liberals are inviting these good for nothing illiterates into this country with the main goal of destroying this country so why are Republicans and conservatives at that calling us names and fighting against us??"

I believe that if Islam is not outlawed in the West and the USA in particular than we are doomed. Islam means submission, not peace as brainwashed Muslims will try to make you believe. And they are brainwashed. Anyone who gets on his knees and smashes his head on the floor 5 times a day is not showing God respect. As soon as they become a majority in any country they try to impose Islamic law on the government. Once that happens any non muslim becomes subject to their cult of racist hate. The Koran is in direct opposition to Judeo-Christian ideology. Islam must be banned before it's too late. Enough with political correctness. Every country in this world where Muslims are the majority has turned into a cesspool of violence and hate towards anything they don't agree with. Yes the West is at war with Islam. Believe it.
