On the Accelerating Pace of Events

The pace of events regarding Islamofascism vs. the Free World is accelerating at this time. Recapping recent developments:

• Israel surrenders Gaza.
• Palestine elects Hamas and becomes Hamastan.
• President Ahmadinejad of Iran declares that he wants to wipe Israel off the map and makes it unmistakable that he wants nuclear WMD's.
• In much of the Muslim world there are riots, buildings are torched, and death threats are  issued, ostensibly over the cartoons, declaring what many Westerners would not have believed possible even a few months ago - that much of the Muslim world seeks to take away our freedom of speech, by violent means.
  

It appears possible that the reason for this rapid acceleration of events, is that the Islamofascist world sees that it may be about to  lose the whole ball game. Hamastan is broke and financially at the mercy of the free world it  seeks to destroy. It looks like  the U.N. is on board with the effort to deny nuclear weapons to Iran, which means the U.S. and Israel could have a pass from the free world on blowing the Iranian nuclear facilities to pieces if need be. Democracy and Capitalism are in Iraq and it's only a matter of time before the rest of the Muslim world wants them too.

This whole thing may be moving a lot faster towards a resolution than any of us had thought. It could be a matter of one decade rather than six or seven.

Needless to say, if Iran gets nuclear weapons, there's a good possibility in this climate of events, that Iran will nuke Israel -- leading to a second-strike nuclear response from Israeli subs and planes targeting Iran, Mecca, and a variety of jihadist targets. There can be little doubt that Iran would supply nuclear bombs to terrorists as well, for use against various nations in the free world.

Iran must not be permitted to have nuclear weapons.

The “Forbidden” Cartoons

IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE EDITORS OF THE NEW YORK PRESS, who resigned when they were told they could not print the cartoons of Mohammed which much of the Muslim world are using as an excuse to attack our rights to free speech, here are the cartoons:

Rumsfeld Summons Europe to Face the Islamofascist Threat

Donald Rumsfeld, Speaking in Munich about Islamofascism: 

A war has been declared on all of our nations. Our futures depend on determination and unity in the face of the terrorist threat that Chancellor Merkel has so correctly labeled "the greatest challenge to our security in the 21st century." And the world's great democracies - anchored by NATO - must stay united to meet this challenge. Have no doubt - the terrorists intend to kill still more of our people. They have said so.

• An al-Qaeda operative in Afghanistan said of civilians in Europe and America: "Their wives will be widowed, and their children will be orphaned".
• A radical cleric said after the London bombings: "I would like to see the Islamic flag fly, not only over Number 10 Downing Street, but the whole world".
• And the leader of the Khobar Towers attacks boasted: "We tied the infidel [a Briton] by one leg [behind the car] � The infidel's clothing was torn to shreds � We found a Swedish infidel. [We] cut off his head, and put it on the gate so that it would be seen by all those entering and exiting. � We found Filipino Christians � and Hindu engineers and we cut their throats, too".

No fewer than 18 organizations - loosely affiliated with al-Qaeda - have conducted terrorist acts in places such as Israel, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Somalia, Algeria, Russia, and Indonesia. And it is worth noting that those nations were attacked by terrorists even though none had forces in Iraq. So any argument that Iraq might have been a trigger is inconsistent with the facts.

According to their own words, they seek to take over governments from North Africa to Southeast Asia and to re- establish a caliphate they hope, one day, will include every continent. They have designed and distributed a map where national borders are erased and replaced by a global extremist Islamic empire. Today, they call Iraq the central front in their war against the civilized world. And they hope to turn it into the same sort of haven for training and recruitment that Afghanistan once was for al-Qaeda. That is their strategy. But we and our friends and Allies have a strategy as well.

• First, to use all elements of national power to try to prevent them from obtaining weapons of mass destruction
• Second, to defend our homelands, through sharing intelligence, law-enforcement, and more integrated homeland defense
• And third, to help friendly nations increase their capabilities to fight terrorism in their own countries
