Terrorism in America – Fighting an Enemy Whose Name Cannot Be Spoken

Terrorism in America – Fighting an Enemy Whose Name Cannot Be Spoken

While the U.S. was still reeling from the devastation caused by the Boston bombing and before it was known who was responsible for the act, there were those on the left who assumed, even hoped, that it was an act of right-wing terrorism.  When their hopes were dashed, they took a detour from grieving for the victims and began instead to focus on, as they imagined it, the probability of backlash against Muslim Americans. Apparently, they anticipated a string of retributive attacks against Muslim Americans. These speculators tend to be very selective about which victims deserve their attention and empathy.  And, their ideology is based on the belief that “Islamophobia” like its cohort, racism, is a prevalent force in the world.

Understanding the Islamic Mindset

Many religious and political discussion forums are taking place across America and around the world in an attempt to foster understanding and tolerance between Christians, Jews and Muslims.  I, too, am a proponent of the concept of understanding.  To be able to co-exist with Muslims, Christians and Jews and the West in general must possess more than a surface or media-generated understanding of the Islamic mindset.  What I have observed coming from these forums thus far clearly indicates that we are failing to grasp even the basics principals necessary to understand Islamic thought and reasoning.

An Open Letter to the President, Subject: Jerusalem

Mr. President:

I am writing to you today about a matter that weighs heavily on my heart. That matter being about the idea to divide Jerusalem. The account of how the Jews came to have the land that is called Israel, where Jeruslaem is, that is given in the Bible is one that I believe to be absolutely true. Therefore, I must warn you about this dangerous course of action you want to take to divide Jerusalem.

The Lord God gave this land to the Jews. It was a private deal between him and Israel. The Lord gave no man the authority to insist that any of it be negotiated away and that includes Jerusalem.

The following account of these actions and what the rest of mankind's reaction to it should be are summed up in these few verses from the Book of Genesis Chapter 12:

1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
