How does one say “step it up boys, Murtha is losing faith” in Arabic?

From the Blogosphere (Strata Sphere):

The War In Iraq Is Now For The Heart Of Islam In The Middle East

**********************EXCERPT***********************

We cannot leave Iraq right now, the future of the Middle East and the rest of the world is literally at stake. We have made a lot of progress in Iraq, and the people of Iraq have made a choice to side with a Western styled democracy and alliance with America. This decision was not trivial, it was in response to al-Qaeda’s relentless atrocities against the Iraqis. And since this turn of events al-Qaeda has been systematically destroyed.

And now it is repeating a pattern we saw in Anbar and Diyala provinces as the tide turned against it - it is attacking its fellow Arab Muslims in an effort to reestablish some control in Iraq. The war for the heart of Islam is raging right now in Iraq and we need to make sure the moderate side wins this war if we want peace in OUR future:

At least 14 Shia civilians have been killed in an attack by al-Qaeda militants on a village near the Iraqi city of Baquba, officials have said.

************************snip*******************

al-Qaeda is heading towards a date with destiny wherein it will be the modern day equivalent of Hitler’s Nazis - a scourge on humanity. al-Qaeda has turned the entire country of Iraq against itself through these very same kinds of brutal acts. And we see these acts in response every time al-Qaeda is being pushed out of one of their sanctuaries, they go after the locals for not protecting or heeding them.

We cannot let al-Qaeda regain any toe hold in Iraq. We need to protect those Arab Muslims now aligned against al-Qaeda. Those Muslims now on OUR side who will fight those bloody maniacs behind 9-11. Here we are a little over 6 years from the horrors of 9-11 and we have one of the largest, riches, most literate Arab nations in the Middle East fighting along side us in common cause against al-Qaeda. We cannot run from this opportunity - especially to gain votes from a vocal yet totally delusional minority back here in the US who simply cannot grasp the reality we are living in right now. We must help Islam take the peaceful path into the future with us. We cannot run from our responsibilities to the future generations who will suffer wars and terrorism and horrors if we let this opportunity to slay al-Qaeda slip by.

Fourteen people were killed during the assault, including four women and three children, and at least eight others wounded, local residents said.

al qaida's last ghasp in Iraq - killing women and children.
