AP: Taliban Chief Vows 'Amazing' Attack on Washington 'Soon'

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Via the AP:

The top Pakistani Taliban commander said Tuesday that his group had carried out the deadly assault on a police academy in eastern Pakistan, and he vowed to launch an attack on the U.S. capital.

Are we not to worry because Obama has dropped the term "War on Terror" and is talking nice to the Muslim world? I don't know about you but I'm not the least bit assured that Obama's sweet talk is going to work out very well for us. We need only to look at the peace deal between the Taliban and the Pakistani government worked out for Pakistan, to see how deals and talks with radical Muslims turn out.

Our problem here in the U.S. is that we have a far-left ideologue sitting in the White House that actually believes that making nice to Islamists can work. Howver, as Tavleen Singh aptly points out at IndianExpress.com - it never will:

Instead of listening to the 'thinkers' and think tanks in Washington Mr. Obama would do better to listen carefully to what the Islamists themselves say loudly and clearly. He would discover that the objective of the worldwide jihad is to convert the whole world to radical Islam. They believe this is what Allah wants and are ready to die fighting to make Allah's wishes come true so that they can spend Eternity frolicking with those seventy-two virgins in Paradise. Odd, isn't it, that it's alright to get up to all sorts of mischief in heaven but a sin to do the same things on Earth?

Radical Islam is an ugly, dangerous ideology. There is nothing in it that would help solve the world's problems or lighten its shadows. Its fundamental principle is that everything we need to know about life, laws and faith is revealed in the Koran and that we must abide by the interpretation given us by semi-literate, fanatical mullahs. If not we will be punished horribly by bearded mujahideen. Radical Islamists believe they have the right to impose their diktat well beyond faith to politics, culture and every aspect of life. This is where the problem begins.

For us in India it is an especially serious problem. Not only do we have more Muslims than almost any other country but we are also the ultimate idol-worshipping country, bursting at the seams with heathens who indulge happily in such pagan festivals as Holi. We like being heathens and we want India to stay the way it is--full of loose, pub-going women who disdain being told how to behave by priests and other fanatics. The Islamists would like these things to change and for India to become more Islamic. In interviews to magazines and newspapers they have no hesitation in admitting that they think India would benefit from becoming fully Islamic. We must fight them because our way is better and worth fighting for. Freedom of worship is a superior idea to the totalitarian faith that radical Islam preaches.

For Obama to believe that Islamists can be convinced to give up their pursuit of world domination and the conversion of the world to Islam bespeaks not only to his naivete but also to his unfitness to lead the U.S. and protect us from attack. The mere thought of this man being in the White House for four years should frighten the hell out of every reality-based American.
