This is but a small part of A Britisher’s View of the JFK Terror Plot , but one worth wading through, if only to help those of you who think condemning Islam as a terrorist tool is somehow unethical. It’s by Shavana Abruzzo.
“Yet, whatever part of the world these groups and their cowardly cohorts hail from — America, Great Britain, France, Iran, Iraq, Guyana, Indonesia, Spain, Yemen, Iraq, etc., ad nauseam — they possess an unmitigated common denominator: they are all Muslims. They are willing to cause untold death and destruction - just for the sake of it. They are chomping at the bit to kill innocent men, women and children — just for the sake of it. They are dying to die because, ultimately, their version of Islam affords them no life. They are further emboldened by a terrified liberal front, which is content to hurl misplaced blame at those very progressive societies that have replaced their barbaric histories with the reason, logic and compassion that have now become their Achilles heel.
“It is that same liberal front, which refuses to condemn Islamic terrorists, instead seeking sycophantic refuge in the ingratiation of our enemies.”
As their ancient, deeply civilized culture of love, art and philosophical reflection is hijacked by paranoiacs, racists, liars, male supremacists, tyrants, fanatics and violence junkies, why are they not screaming? ... The Islamic world today is being held prisoner, not by Western but by Islamic captors, who are fighting to keep closed a world that a badly outnumbered few are trying to open. As long as the majority remains silent, this will be a tough war to win. But in the end, or so we must hope, someone will kick down that prison door. — Salman Rushdie.
