Time for a million Muslim march in Washington to protest their violent extremists

A christian church being burnt in the name of Islam
A christian church being burnt in the name of Islam


In the wake of the horrific Muslim terror attack in Kenya, the “religion of peace” is starting to get a black eye.

I was speaking to a friend the other day, who was once married to a Muslim and has close ties to the worldwide Muslim community. We both agree that the Muslims we personally know are kind decent people and not at all associated with the daily jihad violence seen around the world.  They abhor the crazies amongst them.

The worlds 1.2 billion Catholics have one spokesman who can support or condemn policy and speak out for them. They have a pope and his message is mostly of kindness and compassion for each other.

But Muslims have no main leader to speak for them and as a result, the ones among them who preach a brand of hatred and violence seem to grab the attention of the media.

In the latest round of senseless violence:

The storming of a “western” shopping center in Nairobi Kenya by Muslim extremists resulted in the slaughter of every non Muslim they could put their gun sights on….72 dead so far. Alarmingly, it seems that among the Muslim terrorists who attacked the mall, were American Muslims recruited from Minnesota and Maine. Minnesota is known to have a large Muslim Somali community, and they are reportedly recruited to take part in terrorist activity.

While the Kenya attack was occurring, in another part of the world a pair of suicide bombers blew themselves up outside a 130-year-old Anglican church in Pakistan. The bombings were timed for Sunday Mass, killing at least 78 people in the deadliest attack on Christians in the predominantly Muslim country.

Ongoing attacks on Christians by Muslim Brotherhood adherents have resulted in churches getting torched and countless Christians murdered in Egypt. See: There Is a Bulls eye on the Back of Every Christian Living in Egypt

In the Syrian civil war, Muslim “rebels” have systematically targeted Christian towns, destroying them and killing the inhabitants.

Violent oppression of Christians has become the norm in Muslim-majority nations, especially in Africa and the Middle East. In some countries it is government sanctioned violence that burns down churches and imprison parishioners.

In others countries, groups and vigilantes take matters into their hands by murdering Christians and driving them out of regions they have called home for centuries. Read more: Heads roll as the religion of “turn the other cheek,” meets the religion of “peace”

According to the latest State Department report on worldwide terrorism, there were 6,771 terrorist attacks in 2012, fueled by an upsurge in state sponsored terrorism by Iran.  See: What 2012 Terrorism Statistics Reveal

America is still jittery after getting another wake up call when Boston was bombed by Jihadists during the historic Boston Marathon.

Many people are starting to question why peaceful Muslims tolerate this violence being waged on Muslim and non Muslim in the name of their religion.  There is no other religion in the world that is surrounded by such violence under its banner. 

America is the most religiously tolerant country in the world and accepts all sorts of different beliefs…..As long as they are not violent towards us. We know that all Muslims are not terrorists, but it seems that most of today’s terrorists are Muslim.

America and the worlds tolerance is being stretched thin by one atrocity after another being waged under the banner of a religion.  Even though the percentage of the extremists among Muslims is small, it is painting the whole religion with a violent paintbrush.

It is time for leaders among the Muslim faithful to step forward and condemn the violence.  It would be totally appropriate and appreciated by the world to see a massive show of condemnation of this violence.  A symbolic way to show it would be a million Muslim march on Washington DC… Americans of every stripe would gladly join in a show of solidarity.

Time to re think Islamic terrorism - It’s a war stupid



Time to re think Islamic terrorism - It’s a war stupid
 Islamic terrorism - It’s a war stupid
 The Boston terror bombing brings home the fact we are in a state of war, even though our government leaders don’t want to acknowledge it.

The attitude by the present administration is eerily similar to what the Clinton administration had, that lead up to the 9/11/2001 terror attacks.  Criminalizing terror is in fact ignoring the active war being waged against our country and western society.  As if we don’t name it, then it doesn’t really exist.

During the Clinton administration, our world trade center was attacked with a truck bomb and our embassies in Africa were bombed killing hundreds.

The reaction by the Clinton administration was to classify them as criminal acts, to be dealt with as if they are common lawbreakers.

Later, in a frank moment, Clinton admitted he screwed up when he had a chance to kill Osama Bin Laden and didn’t take it, because: He had “no controlling legal authority to do so.” 

This is lawyer talk, not a commander in chief who is responsible for the safety of American citizens….

The terror war against our country is by radical Islamic terrorists,

The Obama administration still refers to the slaughter of American soldiers at Ft. Hood Texas by Major Hassan, as workplace violence, even though he had ties to radical Islam and he was uttering Allah Akhbar as he squeezed the trigger killing our unarmed soldiers.

The underwear bomber who tried to blow up a passenger airplane over Detroit was whisked away and given Miranda, although he wasn’t an American citizen.

This administration downplayed the attack on our embassy in Benghazi that killed 4 of our personnel including our Ambassador.  They initially tried to put the blame on an unruly mob enraged by a cheesy internet video. When in fact it was a well organized attack by an Al Qaeda connected group.

But the Boston bombings have brought this war squarely in our face, on our soil again. From preliminary reports, Russian intelligence warned us one of the bombers was tied to radical Islamic organizations.  Why didn’t the administration pursue this? Were they afraid to offend someone?

But Islamic radicals want to kill us in the name of their religion…Why? Because we are Americans.  Boston was an act of war, not a criminal act.

Shortly after the bombings, a gunfight erupted outside of a nuclear power plant in Tennessee.  The assailants escaped on a boat and the FBI is investigating. See Fox story

In this same time frame, a terrorist plot was foiled in Canada when authorities arrested two radicals with ties to Al Qaeda in Iran.  They were planning to blow up a passenger train bound for New York.

How long will it be before Al Qaeda and other radical Islamic groups are equipped with far more lethal means of attacking us? Iran is close to nuclear weapons capability and is closely tied to Syria with vast supplies of chemical and biologic weapons.

These are not criminals who are trying to destroy us and our way of life, they are soldiers in a war against us.

Unfolding Libyan scandal could sink Obama and end Hillary’s political career





As more information comes out on the murder of our Libyan Ambassador and 3 other Americans during the assault in Benghazi…. the more incriminating it gets for the higher ups in Washington DC.

Our murdered ambassador, Chris Stevens, had repeatedly been requesting more security  in the months before the attack.  Those requests seemed to have been routinely ignored.  Shockingly, we are now finding out, a key special security force was withdrawn shortly before the attack.

The administrations original story, “the attack was a spontaneous angry reaction to a video,” has been thoroughly debunked.  This makes the situation more dire politically for the administration, with only days before the election.

Conflicting stories and finger pointing are erupting between the State Department, the Whitehouse and the intelligence community.

To compound the problem for the Obama administration, Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, claimed yesterday, there was no “real time intel” to base a decision on whether to send help to the besieged consulate.

But according to Fox News,  CIA sources say there was a wealth of "real-time information" coming in, including two military surveillance drones and those who were on the ground.  The communication from the CIA annex about a mile away from the consulate was "constant":

The latest bombshell now shows the attack was a 7 hour ordeal.  There was plenty of time to send help to the besieged Americans.  Repeated pleas for help from those on the scene were denied by those higher up.

At one point during the battle a CIA operative pinpointed the mortar team which was bombarding the complex. He radioed for fire support from a Specter gunship, commonly used by U.S. Special Ops to provide support to teams on the ground.  Even though an American airbase was only an hour away, no gunships arrived. 

Further, Fox News learned, no Tier One Special operations forces, among them Delta Force operators, showed up to help, which were also within range and able to help if authorized.

But heroism stood front and center in spite of the indecision emanating from Washington.  Ex-SEAL Tyrone Woods, hearing the fire fight from his position at the CIA annex 1 mile from the consulate radioed for permission to go the aid of his fellow Americans.  Twice he was told to stand down.  After the 2nd denial of his request, he and 3 others disobeyed orders and made their way to the consulate.  When they arrived, they came under fire, but were able to evacuate those who remained back to the CIA annex.

Heroic Ex SEAL Tyrone Woods was later killed defending against another attack on the CIA annex by the heavily armed militants. Woods had heard the urgent call for help from his fellow Americans and couldn’t turn a deaf ear.  For that he paid the ultimate price.

If the same measure of heroism that Tyrone Woods displayed prevailed in Washington DC…..Perhaps the deaths of our Americans in Libya could have been avoided.

Every day more shocking details of the Libyan disaster unfold and it gets worse for the Obama administration.  The first and most shocking fact is that we left our Ambassador woefully under protected and a sitting duck in a very hostile environment.  The 2nd is that when they came under attack, the administration didn’t provide the help they needed to save their lives.

Vice President Biden, in another bizarre display of his personality disorder, tried to console the father of Chris Woods by telling him 'Did your son always have balls the size of cue balls?'  Charles Woods was highly offended by this remark and talked about this and other shabby treatment towards him by President Obama and Hillary Clinton, in a UK Mailonline article.

Some political pundits are saying this scandal is far worse than the Watergate scandal, which forced a President to resign.  In Watergate no one died. As this unfolds, the casualties to political careers could prove fatal to all of those involved, including Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Is Obama White House willing to jeopardize national security for political gain?


Recent revelations that leaks of the most highly sensitive military intelligence operations emanated from the White House, have triggered FBI investigations.  Additionally, last Friday Attorney General Eric Holder announced he appointed 2 Deputy Attorney Generals to investigate the source of these leaks.

Security experts have been quoted they have never seen the magnitude of such leaks in their experience.  These leaks could be responsible for the deaths of many who work in the clandestine world of intelligence and result in the crippling of America's ability to defend itself in the war on terror. But the leaks all have one thing in common:  They portray President Obama in a good light.

Did leaks result in deaths to SEAL Team 6?

Last year, as news was released from the White House regarding the successful operation in the killing of Osama Bin laden in Pakistan, you could hear a collective gasp from the intelligence community as major details of the operation were released to the public. Those details included identifying SEAL Team 6 as the military team performing the successful operation.

Military intelligence experts were horrified to hear even the mention of this highly trained team being involved in this operation and feared for reprisals against  team members and their families. Just 3 months later,  a helicopter loaded with SEAL Team 6 personnel, many the same ones involved in the Osama Bin Laden operation, was shot down in Afghanistan.  31 members of the team perished when that helicopter was hit with a Taliban missile.  Coincidence?

Major setback in effort to stop Irans nuclear ambition?

Iran has been feverishly working to perfect a working nuclear weapon.  Many fear if Iran gets nuclear capabilities it would work with terrorist organizations to spread them around the world and not hesitate to use them.

But Iran has been plagued with technical problems in their quest to build nuclear weapons.  Their computers were infected with a virus and their top nuclear scientists were dying from another virus spread by lead poisoning (bullets).  But thanks to White House leaks, the Iranians know their computer problems have been the result of clandestine US and Israeli operations, introducing a worm called Stuxnet .  The Iranians know the name of the virus and will now be able to examine security cameras and find the double agent who introduced that virus into their system.  Iranian reprisals to anyone that betrayed them will be brutal and deadly.

Drone use should be top secret

Leaks that President Obama was personally picking out terror suspects in the middle east for killing by our ultra secret drones, has also damaged our security.  Military experts have said even the mention of our drones is a breach of our military security, much less announcing that President Obama was personally making those life/death decisions.

Some secrets need to stay secret forever

Even more damaging to our war on terror, was the blurting out by White house sources that  allies had infiltrated an agent into Al Quaeda.  This security breach came when a terror suspect was arrested attempting to board an aircraft wearing the most sophisticated bomb yet seen.  The blood sweat and tears spent on the infiltration into Al Quaedas operations was wasted by one statement crowing that we had infiltrated them.


Will investigation be all sound and no fury?
Attorney General Holder works for the White House.  The two Assistant Attorney Generals,  Holder appointed to investigate these security leaks, work for Holder.  Many people don't expect much to happen with Holder in charge of the investigation, especially before November elections.  In the meantime, how many brave people working silently in the undercover war on terror will be sacrificed for political gain?

Administration says war on terror is over? Signs say no




I'm confused.  A few days ago a senior State Department official said "the war on terror is over." “Now that we have killed most of Al Qaeda, now that people have come to see legitimate means of expression, people who once might have gone into Al Qaeda see an opportunity for a legitimate Islamism.”

All of America heaved a great sigh of relief....Finally peace in our time, thanks to the efforts of President Obama.

Yet that short lived sense of peace was shattered when White House spokesman Jay Carney warned there is increased security precautions due to the fact we are close to the one year anniversary of the killing of Osama Bin Laden.  

Security experts are nervous.  Their sources say master bomb maker Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri has re surfaced after being thought dead in a drone strike that killed terror master mind Anwar al-Awlaki.  Al-Asiri is the same bomb maker who invented the underwear bomb and various parcel bombs. They say there are indications that elements of Al Qaeda are looking for some payback in a spectacular manner.  The word is that the soft target of preference will be American civilians.

To further dispel our short lived sense of security, Iran announced  it was building an army of computer hackers to attack American infrastructure.  Attacks would include knocking out our power grid, disabling our water supplies and causing great havoc to anything that computers have control over, which is just about everything these days.  I call this terrorism.

There seems to be no let up in the Iranians feverish quest to  obtain the material necessary to construct a "peaceful" nuclear program.  Iran is the chief sponsor of terror in the world and there is little doubt in many security experts opinion that a nuclear armed Iran would be a real threat to world stability. 

In the homegrown domestic front according to reports, the Occupy movement announced a new spring offensive to kick off the "occupy" season.  There were reports that on May 1, they would team up with labor movements to shut down the Golden Gate Bridge.  Although the shutdown didn't materialize due to heavy police presence, other occupy movements caused disruptions throughout the country.

This war against us is far from over, no matter what the government may decree.
