Today in Ft. Hood, Texas, a lone and obviously deranged United States army psychiatrist opened fire on fellow soldiers killed 12 and wounded 31. As of this posting, the suspect, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, is critically wounded after his rampage.
Major Hasan is an American-born Islamic. And apparently one who has at the very least expressed some sympathy to those on the other side. The radical Islamists.
Of course, no one in the Obamawhore media and even some conservatives want to use the I-word or even the T-word. But, this was a man, Major Hasan, that is Islamic and committed a vicious, terrorist act not just against the United States, the country that his family claims he loves. But against those that were being sent to the front lines in the War Against Islamofascist Terror.
And this terrorist episode brings a reality home.
No matter how hard we may try to collectively bury our heads in the sand, this War Against Islamofascist Terror is a Long War. And this is but one actual battle amid many pre-battle victories the United States alone has had this year.
Last month, not one but three different plots were thwarted by American law enforcement.
One case was in Dallas where Mosam Maher Husein Smadi was arrested in September for plotting to blow up a skyscraper in Dallas. Mr. Smadi is a 19-year old Jordanian.
Also at the same time, and this is much more disturbing, Michael Finton, aka Talib Islam, was arrested in a plot to blow up the federal courthouse in Springfield, Illinois. Mr. Finton, aka Islam is an American. A white American convert to Islam. While he was in prison.
This is a serious part of the Long War strategy on the radical Islamics. To work the American prison system at all levels as a recruitment ground for future Islamic terrorists. And, they will look like the average, White, blond-haired, blue-eyed guy or gal next door. And also Black Americans, Hispanic Americans and Asian Americans. Anyone that they can bring to the cause against the evil Crusaders.
If Mr. Finton is not enough to make this case, consider that of Daniel Boyd and seven compatriots arrested in July for plotting terrorist attacks. Mr. Boyd is another White convert to Islam. Also spent time in prison. And this was in the hotbed of all radical Islamic activity-North Carolina.
While all of this happened another plot was thwarted in New York with the arrest of four suspects, three of which were converts to Islam while in prison.
These are very important victories in the Long War.
The Long War is not just in Afghanistan and Iraq. But right here within our borders. And in our prisons. And, if we are not more careful, within our armed forces.
There is a fine line that we have to observe here.
We as Americans have to be discerning as to know the difference between a blowhard blowing off steam and one that makes comments that seem to support the efforts of the radical Islamics. We need to get a better handle on the kind of Islamic Imams are entering our prison system and what it is that they are preaching. There is nothing like stirring up already bad seeds into believing that there is another enemy rather than these criminals owning up to their responsibility.
We also have to recognize that there is a spiritual component to this Long War.
What drives the radical Islamics is their interpretation of Islam, the Koran and the Haddith, an extension of the Koran. These radicals are fed a twisted view of the religion of Islam. They bring dishonor and shame to those that wish to practice their faith in the bosom of freedom that the United States offers them. Those people have no agenda. They are not trying to forcibly convert their neighbors at the point of a gun or a sword. But the radical Islamic is trying to do just that. If we try to look for other avenues rather than face that reality, it will be hard for the West and the United States to defeat this enemy. Not recognizing the contribution to the American experiment that the Jews and Christianity bring to our way of life, making this a secular exercise will make us eventually meet the same fate as those of old. Nazis, Fascists, Communists. All on the ash-heap of history. Can the West and the United States be far behind? One hopes not.
The massacre at Ft. Hood is but a battle in a Long War to defeat radical Islam. With sadness, 12 brave Americans died and 31 are wounded. A new reality must set in if we are to focus and win battles before and when they happen. Turning ourselves inward will not change that reality.
