Here’s a great opinion piece written by my good friend in Australia, amfortas. He gives his perspective on what should be done with the Muslims.
Sounds good to me. (by the way, visit amfortas’ website,—-you will be amazed….The Knight & Drummer
Enjoy!
Today Oz dropped bombs on terrorists (perhaps).
Am I a Simpleton? I am a simple Tavern Keeper, but I have been about a bit.
I look at the Middle East just as avidly as anyone who cares to notice the slaughter. I see the streets of western cities, too, where Muslims threaten and demand death to ‘infidels’ (that’s you and me, by the way) while taking bagsful of our (yours and mine) taxpayers’ largesse.
I see a difference, in degree, not kind.
Am I seeing aright?
I see ISIS. The ISIS group is Muslim, as are the countries that completely surround ISIS. Those countries have over 2 million people in their armed forces who are doing sod-all. My country’s air force flew a goodly few thousand miles to join the fray. They dropped some bombs (two, I am told) today. Two !
Up until today our Air Force simply undertook navigation training. How many should we drop, the commentators in Oz ask.
NONE, is my answer.
I am wanting too little? Am I seeing a difference in kind instead of degree this time?
The Western ‘sentiment’ is profoundly disturbed by the whole mess of the middle east, especially all the children, men and women being murdered so gleefully by demonic ‘terrorists’; but we still have not grasped the problem which is not simply ‘terror’ groups but ISLAM. There and here.
The Politicians talk of ‘moderate’ and ‘extreme’ Muslims. I see difference in degree, not kind.
Unless and until Islamic countries deal with this evil in their midst, they should be considered as the Enemy in league with the terrorists. There and here. The Islamic countries WANT the west to intervene, so they can blame the west for the consequences. It is a mindless, wicked game of “let’s you and him fight” where ‘you’ is the west and ‘him’ is any sub-group of Islam the other Islamists do not like. They all dislike each other.
Meanwhile we should be dropping legal and social bombs on the Islamists in our midst.
