Letting the Radical
Islamist Cat
Out of the Bag
War on Terror/Frank

- A statement posted by the purported deputy of al
Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Abdel-Rahman al-Iraqi, very possibly may have completely
redefined the War on Terror. It was such a slip of the tongue that one has
to wonder whether or not Abu will be allowed to keep his after Abu Musab al
Zarqawi gets his hands on him. Unintentional or not, the statement revealed
the underlying motives of the Islamic terrorists’ full-blown jihad today.
Al Iraqi’s statement, which was posted on a website sympathetic to radical
Islamic terrorists, was intended as a public statement of support for
Zarqawi and his efforts:
"We have taken our decision, depending on God, to fight the infidels, the
hypocrites and the villains…Even if you (al Zarqawi) take us to the White
House and the bastion of the Vatican; we will stick close to you until you
achieve your aim.”
He continued by lashing out at the Iraqi government threatening the new
Prime Minister, Ibrahim al Jaafari:
"We are after you as long as we are alive."
Al Iraqi described the Iraqi police and National Guard as "the tail of the
Crusaders...the paws of the Americans and the evil Rafidah (Shiites),”
saying that they would be shown "no mercy.”
What is interesting to note here is that the raving threat of death wielded
by these zealot lunatics has moved to include not only other Muslims – which
is against Islamic law – but the Catholic Church. This, literally, leads to
questions of motive.
Pope John Paul II was against the militarized liberation of Iraq. He
condemned the murderous tactics used by Saddam Hussein and his regime, and
although he did agree that there were "just wars,” the Pope was against the
actions taken by the coalition of the willing. In hindsight, that coalition
had a more defined morality than that of those who would have left Hussein
in place to kill an additional million of his own people. The official
stance of the Catholic Church was against military intervention in Iraq.
In a plethora of communiqués from the Islamic terror groups responsible for
the mindless slaughter currently being perpetrated in Iraq, it has been
conveyed that those who stood against the United States and her allies in
the War on Terror would not be harmed; "An enemy of my enemy is my friend”
sort of mentality.
Those two things being said, why did al Iraqi name the Vatican as a target
of radical terrorist Islamic hate when Pope John Paul II condemned military
action in Iraq? Perhaps the motives behind radical Islamic terrorism aren’t
what they appear to be.
I am not an overly religious man. In fact, I am quite sure that my Mother
has worn my initials into the beads of her rosary praying that I might
attend church more often. But it doesn’t take a devout person or theologian
to put two and two together when Muslims target Catholic leadership.
Those obsessed with secularism are blinded by their narcissism. They are
experts at assigning guilt and explain that the motivation behind radical
Islamic aggression towards the US is our own creation. Remember, in the
politically correct mind’s eye of the liberal left it’s all the fault of the
United States. But those of us vested with clearer vision and common sense
are starting to entertain the idea that there may be more in play here than
meets the eye, a broader agenda and ulterior motives.
It could be intimated that the motivating factor behind radical Islam isn’t
about "removing the evil Satan” from Muslim nations at all. Perhaps, in
their minds’ eye, it is a battle in an ongoing struggle that has been in
play for thousands of years, since the year 600 or so. Perhaps, just
perhaps, this is about the section in the Quran – a document that didn’t
even exist until about the year 600 – that has to do with Islamic domination
and conversion.
Has anyone taken off the 21st Century rose-colored glasses to ponder the
question of whether or not the present day acts of Islamic terrorism against
the United States – the home to the largest Christian population in history
– are but fleeting nanoseconds in a demonic struggle that has a timeline
that spans almost two centuries?
The fact that al Iraqi included the Vatican in his terrorist crosshairs
reveals quite a bit about the motive behind the madness. If 21st Century
terrorism is a by-product of American culture there isn’t any reason to take
issue with a Catholic Church that condemned the American led intervention in
the Middle East.
There is quite a bit more in play here. If we are going to fully understand
the true motives behind the actions of our enemy then it is time to look
well beyond recent history. It is time to examine the true history of the
"Apostle of Peace,” Mohammad, and Islam, from inception, through the
Crusades, to the present. And it must be an examination devoid of the
dangerous narcissism of the politically correct. Only then will we know just
how serious the situation really is.
This war could make Hitler look like just a punk and World War II like a
skirmish. My hunch is that it is a lot worse than we suspect.
