Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Global jihad

Ruth Mater:

Global Jihad (Arab holy war) is intensifying.

In Nigeria last week, Muslim mobs brandishing machetes butchered some thirty Christians in the streets of the city of Kano. They butchered them and then set them aflame.

American contractors are murdered in Iraq, their abused corpses triumphantly dragged through the streets and displayed hanging from a bridge. An American, Nick Berg, is beheaded on camera.

Six Israeli soldiers are blown up by a roadside bomb and masked terrorists parade their body parts, including a head, for the press. The Arabs, shockingly, are allowed to use UN and UNRWA ambulances to bring body parts to PA controlled territory, to be used for extortion purposes in dealing with Israel.

The hooded men who displayed the head of an Israeli soldier and those who decapitated Nick Berg are part of the same global Jihad. One wants an Islamic dictatorship in Iraq, the other wants the same thing in place of Israel.

We must finally come to grips with the fact that our enemies are engaged in a world war against the entire non-Muslim world. We must understand the depth of their hatred. We, Israelis, Americans, Jews and Christians worldwide, constitute the front line in the war, wherever we are.

It was not the US military deployment in Saudi Arabia that precipitated the September 11 attacks (15 of the 19 suicide bombers were Saudis) any more than it was the Israeli presence in Gaza or Judea and Samaria or Jerusalem that precipitated the Palestinian-led Jihad against Israel. It is our free, democratic way of life, our very existence, that provokes our enemy.

...

The butchers in Gaza who kicked the remains of Israeli soldiers like footballs, like the butchers in Baghdad, Karachi, Riyadh and beyond, who kill with barbaric ecstasy and hatred, do not do so because of anything we have done. They do so because they are fanatic subhuman barbarians. And if we do not wish to be destroyed, we must do everything to destroy them and not give them hope that their terrorism will be rewarded.

They are religious biggots who think they are on a mission from god. That is the root cause of the violence some Muslims are using against non Muslims and Muslims.
