The Problem Isn’t Religion, The Problem Is Islam
April 24, 2013 17 Comments
The media reported yesterday that Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were motivated by their religion in bombing the Boston Marathon. What religion that would be is anyone’s guess if one listened to any number of media outlets yesterday. I choose to believe they were emasculated Wiccan’s, after all they could be any religion. Oh wait, that’s right, they’re Jihadist Muslims. Yet another in a long line of violent Muslims from a false religion that has been hellbent on conversion by the sword from its very founding. We’re not supposed to talk about that though, it might be a “rush to judgment” as Obama warned. Apparently 1300 years of bloodshed is too quick to judge a religion to say nothing of its violent scriptures.
This is perhaps the biggest problem with the country today, at least as it pertains to terrorism. We’re afraid to call a spade a spade. As such we have a whole series of violent events at the hands of radical Muslim terrorists and we pretend like they’re one off events. Obama has treated the Benghazi attacks, the Fort Hood shooting and the Boston Marathon bombing as though they have no connection whatsoever. He treats them like they have even less of a connection to the 9-11 attacks. Yet they’re all connected to Islam.
The country, being led by the media, does the same thing. On Sunday night 60 Minutes ran a piece about what a nice boy Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was, so polite and kind, he was even on the wrestling team. Ever since information started coming out about him we’ve been told he was a nice guy and that everyone who knew him was surprised he bombed the Boston Marathon. Meanwhile we’re told his brother was a controlling jerk. Thus we’re supposed to have sympathy for a 19 year old man who bombed the Boston Marathon, killing three people and injuring 180. Spare me the “he was a nice guy” line.
Yet that’s what the country is eating up right now. The media is pushing sympathy for this terrorist. The media is interested in the individual psychology of the terrorist but is completely uninterested in discussing the root cause: Islam. The last three administrations all made the same mistake, failing to connect terrorism to Islam itself. Bush forever called Islam a religion of peace, Obama and Clinton have pretended like terrorism was our fault and/or individual events which are completely unconnected. Yet they are connected, by Islam.
This is the same media that was very quick to blame Tea Party conservatives last week before we knew who was responsible for the bombings. It appears they can easily connect events when they want to. Yet with Islam the media refuses to connect the dots. Why? Islam is a religion with 1 billion followers worldwide. If 1% of them are radical and thus potential terrorists, we’re talking about 10 million people who are potential terrorists. Odds are the number is well above 10 million. Yet the media and the Obama administration refuse to connect all the dots. All of the Islamic terrorist events are separate, unconnected and unrelated. If they are connected, it’s our fault. Blame never goes to Islam. Though you could bet that had the bombings last week been performed by a member of the Tea Party somehow Sarah Palin would share the blame.
Until our country confronts the real problem in these terrorist attacks you can guarantee we’ll face more of them. The problem is Islam and so long as we continue to allow immigrants from Islamic countries to enter, be it via asylum or student visas, you can guarantee we’ll see more homegrown terrorists like the Tsarnaev’s. So long as we allow illegals to flow through our borders, giving them citizenship for free for their crimes, you can bet that we’ll have more homegrown terrorist events.
