General Boykin Was Right
One of the things that Lieutenant General William ‘Jerry’ Boykin said to so outrage the left was that, when facing off against an enemy in Somalia, he was confident because he knew that his God was real and that the god of his enemy was a false one, an idol. General Boykin is a litmus test in the political side of the War on Terrorism: are you so blinded by the false dogmas of ‘tolerance’ and ‘multiculturalism’ that you would demand the firing of a fine solider simply because he appears to be ill-disposed towards the ‘religion’ of the enemy? Not only should General Boykin not be fired: he ought to get a medal for being the one senior officer with the courage to say what we all know to be true: while many slaves of Allah might be fine people on an individual basis, their faith is a false one which was founded by a pervert and spread by the sword. Those Moslem nations which pose no threat to us do so only because they practice a version of Islam which has been distorted by centuries of corruption. Those Moslems here who pose no treat do so only because their religion has been Westernized. Anyone practicing ‘true Islam’, that is to say Islam as it is explicitly set out in the Koran, is a danger to us, because ‘true Islam’ is a totalitarian ideology which demands the complete conquest and subjugation of the world.
Now, let us drift back to something I said earlier. I called Mohammed a pervert. In Islam, you aren’t even supposed to depict Mohammed in pictures or quote him directly, so I’m pretty sure that calling the ‘Prophet’ a pervert is a stoning offense. Someone is probably drawing up the Fatwa as you read this. In any case: it’s the truth. Mohammed was a pervert, a pedophile to be exact. The Hadith, a collection of sayings of Mohammed which is regarded by Moslems as second only to the Koran in its holiness, records that Mohammed began having dreams about Aisha, the daughter of his friend Abu Bakr, when she was four or five years old. When Mohammed approached Abu Bakr about marriage to Aisha, the father naturally had some reservations (Mohammed would have been roughly fifty at the time), but luckily Allah told Mohammed that it was perfectly alright for him to marry Aisha. The Hadith records the rest:
"[T]he Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old.”
(Hadith, Sahih Bukhari 7:62:64)
In other words, by any conventional standard, the holy and revered father of Islam was a child molester.
We are also told that “Islam is peace.” This, at best, is a gross distortion. The Islamic concept of ‘peace’ is rather like the Soviet one: peace after world conquest. Moslem doctrine holds that the world is divided into the ‘House of Peace’ (Dar es Salaam) and the ‘House of War’ (Dars el-Harb). There will be peace only when the ‘House of Peace’ (Islam) conquers the entire world. This is broadly similar to the Soviet claim that peace, ultimately, simply meant communist world rule. The tool for bringing the world under Islamic control is ‘Jihad’ (Holy War). The claims of some scholars that ‘Jihad’ simply refers to an internal struggle would doubtlessly be disputed by the thousands of Israelis and Americans murdered in the last few decades in its name.
We, in the name of multiculturalism and the other treasonable doctrines of the modern left, give far too much latitude to Muslims. Should the Islamic religion be banned outright and Mosques closed? No. But those whose Imam’s preach Jihad against America and Israel should be. Islam doesn’t deserve the same sort of treatment as other religions because it doesn’t act like other religions. I might not approve of the doctrines of Buddhism, Mormonism, or the Wiccan ‘religion’- but I’m not worried about a Wiccan terrorist cell plotting to douse me with poison gas. When millions of Buddhists the world over begin forming violent criminal gangs whose ultimate goal is to place the world under a totalitarian system of government, we’ll talk but, until then, we need to worry about the people who are doing just that.
I have already written at considerable length about the need for a military crusade overseas to destroy Islamism and to kill its supporters. But we need to talk more about the steps necessary to fight back against the Islamic religion itself. It is an unpleasant subject, because freedom of religion is guaranteed by the Constitution and, therefore, we will have to step carefully. But it is one which, for the sake of the Republic, must be tackled.
A good place to start would be placing a ban on Moslem clerics entering prisoners to proselytize. The greatest source of growth in the Islamic religion in America is jailhouse coverts and, as we have seen on many occasions, these converts are extremely dangerous and prone to becoming involved in terrorism. Moreover, such a ban could, for obvious reasons, be sold to a majority of the American people and would send the right sort of signal to the world.
Second, the so-called Islamic ‘civil rights’ organizations which operate freely in the United States- groups such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the American Muslim Council, must be shut down. They are terrorist fronts and one of the strongest propaganda tools of America’s enemies. Just recently Abdurahman Alamoudi, the founder of the American Muslim Council, was arrested for his links to terrorism. That Alamoudi was linked to terrorism has been known for many years. In the year 2000 he gave a speech at a rally in front of the White House in which he screamed about being a supporter of Hamas and Hezbollah. That he was not arrested by now suggests a dangerous reluctance to arrest supposed ‘civil rights’ leaders, even when their links to terror are obvious. In July a former senior member of the CAIR and the AMC was arrested for training with an al-Qaeda affiliated group. After 9-11, one of the groups which CAIR (‘America’s leading Muslim civil rights organization’) suggested donating to in order to ‘help the victims’ was the Holy Land Foundation a group which, shortly thereafter, was shut down for being a fundraising arm of Hamas.
Third, the American people need to be educated on the true nature of Islam. A single segment on Dateline NBC detailing Mohammed’s history of pedophilia would do more to convince Americans of the rightness of the war than nearly anything else. Islam is not a benign religion- it is at best unhelpful and at worst it is a cancer upon the human race.
We need to set this history of Islam straight. A good place to start would be with the Crusades, which traditionally head the long list of Islamic grievances against the West. Why were the Crusades launched? Was it because the Pope awoke one morning and simply began screaming ‘Deus lo volt!’? No: the Crusades came about only after Islam had spent centuries waging aggressive war against all of its neighbours, seeking to convert them by the sword. Islamic barbarians would have even conquered Europe, had it not been for the heroism of Charles Martel (one of the last good Frenchmen) who stopped that at the Battle of Tours. The Crusades were launched only after a Moslem mob rampaged through Jerusalem, killing Christians and defiling the holy sites of Christianity.
Now, none of this means that we should round up an intern Moslems within our own countries or commit any other act of violence against them. Luckily for us, most Western ‘Moslems’ are as ignorant of their religion as most Christians and Jews. Some of them, even, really do practice a perfectly normal and benign version of Islam which has been modified by years of Westernization. But we must not let the presence of these normal and kind individuals blind us to the real danger of the world-wide Islamic menace.
Our enemies our fighting a war of religion. We cannot ignore this fact, for they will not allow us to do so. We are not fighting against the general concept of ‘terrorism’, but rather we are fighting their god. In the service of their god, they would kill each and every single one of us if it were possible. They have the will, the only lack the means. If we give them enough time, they will find the weapons to match their hate. Their god commands them to kill and conquer. Their god commands them to subjugate women, slaughter apostates, and forcibly convert the world to their faith. Their god has a name- and General Boykin was right, it isn’t ‘Allah’: it’s Satan.

If General Boykin slapped this somalian he would
have gotten another star ala Gen. Patton.
Adam Yoshida I hope you plan to post this on some other Blogs also.

The latest Boston Globe poll more-or-less confirms Dean's strong lead in New Hampshire. They have Dean at 37% to Kerry's 24%. The better news from that poll is that 35% or respondents picked Dean as the most likely candidate to beat George Bush, while only 20% went with Kerry.
