Near Tipping

“Terrorists cannot hide the inhumanity of their ideology”. – GWB 02/09 Increasingly we must ask if the ideology isn’t too deeply imbued into the Muslim mind to be disentangled.

An interesting point; “if some skinhead burns a mosque”, perhaps this is why the FBI can be more diligent in profiling Caucasian dissidents then they seem to care about the large populations of second generation Muslim youth that have embedded themselves in American society.

If the near tipping point of the United States is destroying two of its’ most powerful symbols and damaging another, a cartoon from an obscure publication in a small, often overlooked western European country, becomes the near tipping point for Islam. Indeed, more radical elements have already declared their form of all out war on the United States, however meticulous, methodical, and plodding that war may be. The Islamists seek to activate the very tipping points of a sluggish, slow to react giant. If we were to take a home grown western terrorist where-ever we might find them, be they skinheads, militia men, or impatient end-timers, how hard would they have to strike to stir the ire of the whole of Islam? One shudders think. I long to ‘shut the book now’ but as participant of these times must watch with horror the inevitable confrontation.

Media
Media has found its purpose in bringing down supposed oppressive regimes like Nixon’s during Watergate. I recall reading Daniel Ellsberg’s memoirs. I had long believed Ellsberg was a traitorous son of a b*tch, so I looked forward to his autobiographical explanation as to why he did what he did. Although I learned to respect Ellsberg at one level, retired Marine Lieutenant who carried a Swiss K submachine gun while ‘researching’ the conflict, he never was very vocal about the war until the exact second it became Nixon’s war. Suddenly, he became an activist who would sell his country out to the New York Times. He was a traitor and a partisan hack. We lost the War on Terror the moment that man walked.

Now every hack of that era sees that the only noble purpose in life is to bring down the U.S. government. It is no coincidence that this is the very purpose of the Islamists.

The Western Media has found its purpose in creating conspiracies. The Middle Eastern citizen has found its purpose in life in consuming them.

The Hole of Islam
The ‘whole of Islam’ is something less than the 1.2 billion adherents that we are constantly reminded of. I am afraid, that those of whom we call moderates are merely the uncommitted, loosely affiliated that seem to fill the pews of most churches. I am afraid that the Islamic mind, the heroes of it’s modern warriors, the likes of Mohammad Atta, are fascinated with Western culture, immerse themselves in it, with a self-loathing attraction, then move on to complete the dastardly deed in the name of the god of whom they seek to please, and appease for their misdeeds. We have seen self-flagellation and acts of martyrdom in the early Christian sects as well.

If ‘Piss-Christ’ doesn’t offend the ‘whole of Christendom’, it certainly offends most but the more loathsome of secularists.
