Irresponsible Conservatism

The hatred of Islam in the West--and especially among conservatives in America--is growing. Much of the crazy, hate-filled and hateful terrorist misbehavior towards the West and Israel is to blame for this Western overreaction. What was done to victims in Mosul is what they would do to us or Israelis, only worse.

Still, we must not become haters, intolerant and uncivilized. We have millions of good peaceful Muslims (I work with hundreds of them.) here and abroad that we do not want to victimize, put into internment camps, deport or harass.

We Westerners cannot stoop to Islamo-Nazi levels: in America we must not call for outlawing Islam and outlawing Shariah law. We must not hate the faith or its adherents. But they need to understand that their world-wide caliphate will never come about. The good peaceful Muslims must side with the West and take up arms against their radical brethren. That message of action would do much to reassure the non-Muslim world. Moderate Muslims must modernize, be peaceful, tolerant and accepting of other faiths, period.

To the radicals, I warn: they will never invade and rule America. If they do when  I am 66 years old, I would rise from my recliner, and shuffle and waddle to arm myself. I would go out on the street with every gun and every round of ammunition I have and fight to the death before submitting to any theocratic Nazis.

Americans like Islamists, especially the Arabs, too grow out of a cowboy, gun-toting, warrior tradition. They will not best us and will not conquer us. If we have to wipe out the human race and ourselves to stop them, we will. They will not land one accursed foot on American soil. If they would prevail and wipe out Israel, the moderate Muslims who did nothing to obviate the warlike fanatics among them had better prepare for 500 million Islamic people to die in the process.

We stopped the Soviet Union. We stopped Hitler and the Nazis. We will stop an Islamo-Nazi mass movement seeking to take over the world.

We played and lost in View Nam, Afghanistan and Iraq, but against empire builders, we get real whipped up and fight in earnest. As Toby Keith sang, we will put a boot in your ass. If it is a fight you want, it is a fight you will get, and good and God are on our side, so we will stomp you into the ground. After that maybe you will quit mouthing your goofy theological poison, calm down and join the civilized world like the Japanese, Italians and Germans did after World War II.

May the human race survive. We have some rough days ahead.
