This is a War about Religion!


A few days ago, I wrote a piece in which I declared the current war on terror as a religious war… war between Islam and the Judeo-Christian religions. It raised some eyebrows. The truth, uttered aloud, usually does!

I stand by that today. Only someone totally disconnected from reality can say the war the United States finds itself embroiled in, all over the globe, is anything other than a religious war.

We Americans have become so used to our separation of church and state that we have a great deal of difficulty getting our minds wrapped around the idea of "religion as state" and "state as religion". Not the Moslems. No. Islam is just that.

As I write, Israel is in a dogfight with Moslem terrorists funded by the Islamofacists of Iran and Syria and other Islamic states with lower public profiles that the two just mentioned.

Israel is in this war to save herself… and… to save the United States. Israel knows she cannot exist without her big brother, the US, standing by her side. The US knows Israel is fighting our fight.

The commonality between the two nations is the Judeo-Christian faith. Now, I know it isn’t fashionable to speak openly of such things, to speak openly of a religious war, but the truth, Dear Reader, IS the TRUTH.

We simply must stop this charade and face facts. The fact is… The Moslems want you dead. They want you wife, or husband, dead. They want your son and/or your daughter dead. They want your grand kids dead. Simply put, if you are of the Jewish faith, or the Christian faith… they want you dead! Period! You can’t negotiate with them. There is nothing TO negotiate. They want you dead.

So, let’s put aside the flowery language of the diplomat, and forget political correctness, and call a spade a spade. We have come face to face with an enemy who hates us more than he loves life and he is willing to do whatever it takes, no matter how gruesome, no matter how horrible, to rid the face of the earth of Jews and Christians … and anyone else not a Moslem. It is, honestly, the Moslems versus everyone else.

Over at “The American Thinker” Michael Geer has written a piece, which I think, is splendid. He spells it out as clearly as I have ever seen it. He is right on target. We recommend you go to “The American Thinker” and read his piece. You’ll find it at:

So, what are we to do about it? We can ignore it and continue to think this is some sort of guerilla war and… we will take a hit every now and again and eventually the terrorists will get tired and go away. UH-UH! Ain’t gonna happen. They will go away when you are dead. When the US is dead. When Israel is dead. The end is just that stark.

Now, we can sit back and await the end, or we can choose to stand and fight, like men, a “no holds barred” fight, and take it to the Islamofacists. They do not fear death, they say. We should not be afraid to take them to their deaths as quickly and efficiently as possible. We will not be safe, you family will not be safe, your country will not be safe, until they are beaten back and made totally harmless.

The fight, of which I speak, is going to be dirty. It is going to be akin to genocide. But we have no choice. When your enemy hates you more than he loves his children, more than he loves his own life, then options available for reducing the threat, or negotiating away the threat, are non-existent.

We did not choose this fight. It chose us. The Moslems brought death and destruction to us. We must stop it by any, and all, means necessary.

But, before we do anything more, we must admit to ourselves... and we must admit openly... this war is about religion. Because… it is.

  1. Attacking a dairy factory and a proctor and gamble wharehouse, trying to shut off an entire nations food supply is not an act or war, it is terrorism. Telling a village of people to get in their cars and evaquate, only to have their caravan of cars bombed by planes is not War or warfare, it is terrorism. Longstreet you talk about soldiers that stopped fighting to get help their wounded and the wounded of their enemy. Of a brave young soldier carrying whiskey and water to injured and dying soldiers on both sides of a conflict and said, and I agree it is honorable, that is why our country survived, we the people are ammicable to each other. If you and I were on opposite ends of a barrel we are fair game, our wives and children, our elderly, our sick in hospitals, and our wounded and dying that are no longer a threat are not! I thought it was a code of ethics for war, that in the end we were all human beings. Hezzbola's targeting of neighborhoods is equally as wrong. Am I naive of just plain stupid (don't touch that one hoosier) in my thinking (or lack there of)?
