In March 1785, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went to London to negotiate with Tripoli’s envoy, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman (or Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja). When they inquired “concerning the ground of the pretensions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury”, the Muslim ambassador replied:
“It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise.”
March 1785......September 2013.
A modern liberalized Western nation is ill-equipped to understand Islam or the problems of the Islamic world. It is a culture that is incompatible with our way of life. It is a religion that is incompatible with our constitution.
The sooner we recognize that reality is not dictated by political correctness the better off we will all be. The sooner we fight the war on terror to destroy our enemies instead of trying to impose our values the better off we will be. The sooner we realize that a significant portion of Muslims want to kill us the sooner we can start killing them first.
