Remembering those who gave all and analyzing the present situation.

As you read the following questions and answers concerning the U.S. and terrorism, keep in mind that this is Memorial Day weekend, when we remember those men and women who gave their lives to protect this country.


How has the United States contributed to the increase in terrorism?

The increase in Islamic terrorist operations in the US has been a direct result of the substantial growth in the number of Jihad-oriented Imams in US penitentiaries, seminaries and mosques: the dramatic boost in the number of Muslim Brotherhood-inspired US mosques: the expanded exposure of US Muslims to the Jihad ideology via Saudi and Qatari-funded Muslim TV channels and Internet; the rise in the number of Muslim terror organizations posing as charity foundations and summer camps, which benefit from tax exemptions; and, the surge in the number of activists, who draft American Muslims to training and indoctrination camps in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen and the Palestinian Authority. Most Muslim terrorists in the USA are Arabs and Pakistanis.
Also:
Rep. Darrel Issa (R-C.A.) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-M.E.) are demanding answers following the Investigative Project on Terrorism's discovery that taxpayer money is going to the radical Dar al-Hijrah mosque of Falls Church, Virginia. The revelation is an unsettling reminder of how jihadists are using America's freedoms and ineptitude of the government to their advantage.
The Investigative Project on Terrorism has found that the Census Bureau has been paying Dar al-Hijrah about $23,000 per month since November 2008 to rent space in one of its buildings. The State Department has used the mosque in its videos about America's Muslim community and sent students from its Foreign Service Institute to Dar al-Hijrah this month.

 Also:

Taxpayer money going to Islamic charter schools in the US where unsuspecting Americans send their children.  The children are taught Islamic, specifically Turkish song, dance, customs and undoubtedly religion.  Symbols of other religions, like crucifixes, are forbidden.

Why do they hate us?

The intensification of the Muslim terrorist threat, despite Obama’s rough/critical/cold attitude toward the Jewish State, refutes the claim that the Arab-Israel conflict, the Palestinian issue or the US-Israel friendship are the root cause of anti-US Islamic terrorism.

The inherent religious animosity toward the US has been intensified by Muslim leaders, who consider US values – such as freedom of expression, freedom of movement, freedom of religion, free election, free market and free Internet – as a present and clear danger to their own dictatorial regimes. Moreover, Iran considers the US as the most effective obstacle to the attainment of its megalomaniac aspirations. Syria views the US as a key obstacle to Damascus’ historic goal of controlling “Southern Syria” - Jordan. Therefore, they support anti-US terrorism, irrespective of the Palestinian issue, the Arab-Israeli conflict, Jerusalem, settlements or the existence of the Jewish State.

Does our current President Barack Barry Hussein Soetoro Obama get it?  No, but ...

John Quincy Adams, the 6th president of the USA, researched the causes of  anti-Western Islamic terrorism, concluding that its core cause was endemic hostility toward the “infidel.”

Will trying to win hearts and minds help?

“No strategy of winning hearts and minds, no great outreach, will bring this (Western democracies vs. radical Islam) struggle to an end. America can’t conciliate these furies.”    --The world leading Middle East scientist, Prof. Fuad Ajami of Johns Hopkins and Stanford universities, a Lebanese Shiite, in the Wall Street Journal on May 10, 2010.  Ajami attributes contemporary Islamic fury and terrorism to the teaching of Egypt’s Sayyid Qutb – one of the founding fathers of the Muslim Brotherhood – who considered the US a moral threat to Muslims and condemned Christians and Jews to hell.

Are the terrorists just from the Middle East?

Anti-US Islamic terrorism has been bolstered by the expansion of Hezbollah’s operational, financial and political infrastructures in Latin America, notwithstanding the contention by Obama and his advisors that supposedly there is no global Islamic terrorism (only Taliban and al-Qaeda terrorism), that ostensibly there is no Jihadist terrorism (“because Jihad means to purify oneself…”) and that terrorism has been seemingly a derivative of Western exploitation of the Third World.

Part of the above excerpted from an article, President Obama is right - Islam has indeed always been part of America’s story, when it comes to terror, by Yoram Ettinger at YNET.
Please take time this weekend to remember our military who fought for this country all over this globe, protecting innocent people, giving their all for freedom.

With deep appreciation to the Right Truth

Note:

During this Memorial Day weekend, many commentators have noted that unlike previous presidents, Obama has chosen to avoid the annual Memorial Day services held at Arlington National Cemetery.  However, considering the stance Obama has demonstrated since taking office as America's 44th President, I say this is one time Obama has made the right choice!  Why would America want Obama to attend services at Arlington National Cemetery and dishonor all the men and women who had so proudly served and protected our nation, with no apologies?!   Bee Sting
