#1 the Sharia-based Afghan and Iraqi constitutions

This one simple and extremely inconvenient fact represents a massive betrayal of America's rights and goals as a military liberator of these two countries. The price of admittance into the global community must include abandonment of constitutionalized shari'a law. Period. No exceptions.

The Bush administration's refusal to understand how shari'a epitomizes a comprehensive violation of human rights stands as a monument to cultural relativism and a willingness to countenance what is nothing less than a direct threat to Western civilization. Our inability to dictate from a position of strength has provided for the ascendancy of retrograde forces in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Democracy has been flouted under the auspices of an entirely specious freedom of religion.

Shari'a is the absolute anthesis of democracy and a fundamental toxin to any freedom of religion. Having expended so many precious lives and vast financial treasure only to permit the installation of such moral and ethical filth in our wake represents a total abdication of responsibility to both America's own national security and the rights of those who shall continue to suffer under Islam's tyrannous predations.

Islam is a religion of the sword and there are, by even the most conservative estimates, more than one hundred million active jihadists seeking to impose sharia not only in the Islamic world, but in Europe and ultimately in the United States.

There is nothing in our current political or military agenda that adequately addresses this singular fact. Nowhere has there been even a glimmer of any indication that Islam will be held accountable for sowing the hydra's teeth. We have voluntarily opted to battle the endless horde of murderous jihadis that spring forth from the Koran's litany of horrors instead of saddling Islam with its own obligation to peacefully coexist.

By doing so, we have not only shown fatal weakness but an immensely flawed sense of self-worth. We have given Islam unmerited and unearned respectability which it abuses at every turn. This has won us nothing but well-deserved scorn from those who so openly prize deceit and subversion as legitimate tools of faith. To allocate such perfidy even a shred of credibility is self-delusion of a totally monstrous sort.

Whether one believes in Christianity or not, it is necessary now for all lovers of authentic freedom to acknowledge their debt to the Judeo-Christian West, to the Judeo-Christian assumptions that built Europe and the United States, and to acknowledge that this great civilization is imperiled and worth defending.

Amidst all our Herculean endeavors, the philosophical wolf-in-the-fold of moral relativism still ravages our determination to survive. This must change if we intend to endure Islam's vile onslaughts.

#2 Give the Lad a Pat on the Back

Yorkshire Folk were once noted for never calling a spade a spade, it was always a bloody shovel, in these PC times I thought it was a lost art, it is nice to know that that a few of my countrymen still practice it. Please enjoy it as much as I did.

#3 Brilliant link, SR-71!!! Yorkshire Miner certainly "gets it" and is exceptionally eloquent without a trace of equivocation. I especially liked:

"... every concession to Islam is the thin end of an even bigger wedge."

Great stuff! Thank you so much for sharing.
