Benedict, Don't Grovel in Turkey!
Pope Benedict XVI is now making a historic visit to Muslim Turkey, only the third such visit by a pope. The purpose of the trip is to meet with Bartolomew I, leader of the world's 300 million Eastern Orthodox Christians, and promote reunion between Othodox Christians and Catholics. The trip was planned well before the Pope angered the Muslim world be quoting the anti-Islamic remarks of a medieval emperor, but the buzz is that Benedict will use the trip to smooth over Muslims' ruffled feathers.
I say no! Instead of retreating yet again in the face of Islamic militantcy the pontiff should use this historic moment to boldly stand for the West and the Christian faith he's supposed to represent. Pope Benedict XVI should fearlessly and unapologetically remind Muslims that Christianity was in Turkey centuries before Islam. He should also condemn their centuries of unprovoked aggression against the West, reminding Muslims of the hard truth that they, in fact, were the first crusaders.
The Pope is on solid ground, literally, to say such things; Turkey is full of Christian history. The seven churches of Asia addressed in the Book of Revelation were all located in Asia Minor, now Turkey. Istanbul used to be named Constantinople, after the first Christian Roman emperor, and was the capital of the eastern Roman Empire. The Hagia Sophia, one of the greatest feats of Western architecture, was a Christian church for over 1000 years before it was converted into a mosque after the Muslim conquest of Constantinople in 1453. The great building is now a museum. I bet the real history of Muslim aggression against Westerners and all other "infidels" isn't in that museum.
Someone has to be the defender of the Faith and defender of the West. Pope Benedict XVI, indeed any pope, is the perfect person for that job. That should be why the papacy exists. Unfortunately the Pope, like so many other Westerners, is a servant of political correctness and unilateral tolerance more than Christ. He'll go to Turkey and preach about interfaith dialogue and brotherhood and refuse to accept that Islam is a religion that fervently rejects both, and he'll think he's doing Christ's work. Meanwhile Islamic militants, unmoved by the Pope's pretty words, will continue their global jihad until the crescent reigns supreme. And if that day comes there will be no more doing Christ's work. So I plead with you, Pope Benedict, speak the truth in Turkey! Stand for your civilization and your God! For if you don't, St. Peter's Basilica will become another Hagia Sophia. God forbid it!

The Queen Sells Out
Queen Elizabeth II of England has sold out her country, heritage, and faith.
On Saturday, September 30, Her Majesty designated an office in Windsor Castle for use as a prayer room for Muslims during the "holy" month of Ramadan. Such a room also exists in Buckingham Palace. The prayer room at Windsor Castle was set up at the request of a 19-year-old Muslim girl, Nagina Chaudry, who works in the Castle's visitors' shop. Miss Chaudry said it was "great knowing that [the Queen] respects other people's faith" and that she was thrilled that "[the Queen] is going to such great lenghts for me." Somebody get me a barf bag, please!
For all those who don't know, Queen Elizabeth II is the head of the Church of England and Defender of the Faith, i.e, Christianity. To allow a Muslim prayer room in any of her castles during this time of resurgent Muslim aggression against the West is a betrayal of her duty as monarch of a Western and Christian nation. I know the British sovereign is supposed to be above politics, but even an apolitical figurehead still has a duty to act with principle. I can't imagine the Queen's parents, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, allowing a room in Windsor Castle or Buckingham Palace to be used for Nazi ceremonies during WWII. Yet today, 60 years later, their daughter is caving to political correctness and multiculturalism when what her subjects need most is a monarch with the conviction to stand for Christian Britain.
I don't know what Queen Elizabeth II thinks Britain will get out of her capitulation. Sure, Miss Chaudry may be grateful, but will this gesture change the mind of Osama bin Ladin? Will it change the minds of Hamas, Hezboallah, or Islamic Jihad? Will any radical Muslim cleric tell his mosque mates that, because of the prayer rooms in Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace, Britain is a friend of Islam and no longer a legitimate target for their holy war? HELL NO!!!!!!!!!! The jihadis will interpret this latest retreat by a Western leader the way they interpret all such retreats: as a sign of weakness. They will be further convinced that they are winning this war and will be emboldened to keep fighting until the call of the minaret is the only religion on British soil.
The next time some Muslim employee asks the Queen to respect her religion, I hope Her Majesty will have the courage to say that she'll make Islamic prayer rooms in her castles as soon as Muslim monarchs start making Christian prayer rooms in theirs. After all, respect should be a two-way street. That's how we do it in the West.
God save the Queen.

Enough With the Groveling!
Pope Benedict the XVI is still trying to smooth out the Islamic feathers his quoting of a Byzantine emperor ruffled a week ago. Yesterday the Pontiff met with twenty--twenty!--representatives of Islamic nations to virtually apologize for quoting that medieval ruler. I say, ENOUGH! Enough of this groveling with a captital "G"! When are we Westerners going to learn that no amount of frightened-dog groveling and/or apologizing will ever satisfy Muslims? Why do we insist on believing that if we just bend over backwards to show respect for Islam then everything will be ok and we can go back to living our cozy, comfortable lives?
When 3000 Americans were killed on 9/11, did any Muslim ruler have an audience with Western leaders to assure them and their people that the attack was an abomination that had nothing to do with real Islam? Did any Muslim ruler have such an audience with Western leaders after the Madrid train bombings or the London subway and bus bombings? No, no, and again, no. Let's remember what Muslims did do after 9/11: they danced in the streets. They passed out candy to their children and cheered. That's what they did. And we're supposed to just accept it. But if one of us merely criticizes Islam or Muhammad our property can be firebombed and we can be murdered. And we're supposed to just accept that, too.
I say, NO! It's time to start telling Muslims the truth whether they like it or not. It's time to stand firmly and bravely against their ultimate goal--the global imposition of Sharia law. It's time to boldly proclaim that they are the real imperialists and that the West is the shining shield of civilization protecting humanity from Koranic darkness. Westerners, we are at war for our very survival and our way of life is worth defending. So, to paraphrase Sonny Corleone, no more trying to patch things up; it's time to WIN!!!

This Is the Religion of Peace
The religion of peace strikes again.
In an effort to show how loving and misunderstood by Westerners Islam really is, apoplectic Mohammedans rioted, vandalized, threatened Christians, and murdered a nun in reaction to the Pope's quoting of a medievel emperor's criticism of Islam. Gee, I feel so much better seeing the peace and tolerance of Islam.
Apparently in peaceful Islam--the true Islam--riots and murders are the proper response to critical words but not to the slaughter of innocent people. Oh no. When people are actually killed it's party time--if those people are infidels. And everyone who's not a Muslim is an infidel.
Moderate Muslims will claim that the rioters, vandals, and killers don't represent true Islam, but if that's so why don't these moderates ever take to the streets in angry protest against the extremists they say are distorting their faith? Perhaps because there are no really moderate Muslims. Maybe "moderate" Muslims are just Muslims who disagree with the methods of the militants but not with their objectives. And because the "moderates" and the militants do have the same objectives, the "moderates" aren't going to make too much of a fuss about the methods, no matter how violent they may be.
Or maybe there are moderate Muslims, but they're scared stiff of the militants and don't want to risk their lives to oppose them. Either way, Islam will continue to be "misunderstood" by Westerners as long as Muslims keep behaving the way they've been for the last few days. And I expect them to do just that.
Welcome to the religion of peace.

Rudolf Hess Revisted
On May 10, 1941, during the Blitz on London, Nazi Rudolf Hess flew to England in hopes of persuading King George VI to sack prime minister Winston Churchill, make peace with Germany and then join Germany in a war against the Soviet Union. Of course Hess failed, but his action has inspired today's sand Nazis to try a similar stunt of their own.
Former Iranian president Mohammed Khatami is coming to America. He is scheduled to speak in the National Cathedral and, on the eve of the 5th anniversary of 9/11, at Harvard. In fact, Harvard invited Khatami to speak as part of a conference on, of all things, tolerance. We really are living in bizarro world.
While current Iranian president Ahmadinejad calls for the extermination of Israel and demands that the US bow down to Iranian "greatness", former president Khatami tries to play good cop by coming to America to discuss tolerance. I hope that most Americans are savvy enough not to buy this Muslim maniac's mutterings, but I fear that a significant segment of my people are not. For unlike in the days of WWII, many Americans, and other Westerners, now are consumed with the twin poisons of multiculturalism and guilt over racism/colonialism, and don't really believe that America and the West are worth defending. Thus, they are eager to swallow any propaganda, no matter the source, if it will free them from having to acknowledge and confront the evil of militant Islam.
I don't know exactly what sand Nazi Khatami will say in the Cathedral or at Harvard. I'm certain, though, it'll be something that will have the "Blame America First" crowd cheering. Today's sand Nazis learned much from their predecessors but they've gone one better: they've learned how to make us hate ourselves more than we hate them. That's their most powerful weapon against us; even Rudolf Hess didn't have it. It's time we deployed an equally powerful defense. Truth.

It's NOT Us!!!!
One of the most common justifications for attacks on America given by Muslim terrorists is America's foreign policy, especially her support for Israel. The idea goes something like this: if America wouldn't support Israel, which is supposedly brutalizing Arabs/Muslims, Muslims wouldn't have to fight against her. This idea has caught on in Europe and is catching on among left-wing, "anti-war" people in America. This "it's America's foreign policy" argument is just a variation on the Left's "Blame America First" ideology, and I say bullcrap to all of it. The only people who are to blame for Islamic terrorism are Muslims; the only belief system to blame for Islamic terrorism is Islam. Don't think so? Then consider this.
For centuries the British oppressed the Irish people and are still doing so, some feel, in Northern Ireland. The Irish have grievances against Britain that go far deeper than any grievances the Palestinians have against Israel. The Irish Republican Army, or IRA, began its most well-known campaign, called The Troubles, against the British in the late 1960's, carrying out all manner of terrorist attacks the most infamous of which was the murder of Prince Charles' uncle, Lord Mountbatten. During that time America was ( and remains) Britain's stauchest ally, condemning the IRA's killing sprees and giving the British government great moral support. But the IRA never attacked America. Not once in the history of The Troubles did IRA terrorists bomb an American embassy, assassinate an American diplomat, kidnap American citizens, or hijack American planes and fly them into the World Trade Center. The IRA never did any of these things and then justified them by pointing to America's alliance with Britain.
The question, of course, is why not. The answer is that IRA terrorists weren't Muslim terrorists. The IRA understood that its beef was with the British government alone, and not with every government allied with Britain. And why did the IRA understand that? Because it didn't, and doesn't, follow an imperialist religion that compels its believers to violently convert the world. And make no mistake, that's what Islamic terrorism is really about: global conquest.
The goal is nothing less than conversion of all people to Islam and the total subjugation or elimination of those who won't. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is just an excuse for a global jihad that Islamists would be waging anyway; it's something the Islamists can whine about to their leftist, secular sympathizers who just wouldn't understand their religious motives. But the cold, hard truth is that Islamists would hate America and the West even if Israel and all their other grievances didn't exist. They hate us because their religion tells them to and we'd better drop our pc blinders and face up to that fact or we won't have a snowball's chance in hell of saving our civilization.

Horror in India
The train bombings in Mumbai, India two days ago were just horrible. People can't get on trains anywhere in the world without having to worry that some wackos want to kill them.
The verdict is still out on who did this terrible crime, although India has arrested two suspects with distinctly Islamic sounding names. And the whole operation has Islamic fingerprints all over it. Still, India has had problems with different segments of its multi-ethnic, multi-religious population, most notably the Sikhs, so I'm not going to jump to conclusions and say for sure that Muslims are responsible for this horror (but it sure smells like radical Islam).
If it turns out that Muslims are the culprits, these bombings will be a big headache to those in the West who say that American foreign policy is the cause of Islamic terrorism. After all, India isn't doing any of the things that Western "peace" advocates say is the cause of Muslims' anti-American/anti-Western rage. India doesn't have troops in Iraq; she doesn't have troops in Saudi Arabia. India isn't a big friend of Israel, nor a big supporter of corrupt, secular Arab governments. About the only thing going against India is that she's fighting Muslim Pakistan for control of Kashmir, but the fate of Kashmir is rarely, if ever, mentioned by radical Muslims in their railings against America and the West.
So, if Muslims did indeed bomb the trains in Mumbai on Tuesday, what are the "peace" advocates going to make of it? Gee, maybe they'll have to actually consider the possibility that maybe, just maybe, Islam causes Islamic terrorism. Now that's a radical idea!

We Got the Bastard!
Ding! Dong! The Nazi's dead!
Which Nazi?
The sand Nazi!
Ding! Dong! The sand Nazi is dead!
Hail to our airmen! On intelligence provided by Jordan our brave fighters launched an airstrike that successfully killed badly wanted terrorist Al-Zarqawi (I don't remember his first name and don't care to) and seven of his "spiritual" advisors. Oh happy day!!!!!!!
All Zarqawi brought to Iraq was death and destruction. He didn't build one school, staff one hospital, repair one water pipe, or bring electricity to one home. No, he and his followers maniacally fought every effort by America and the coalition to do the above mentioned things and make life better for all Iraqis. So it is a tremendous blessing for Iraq, America, and the world that this sorry excuse for a human being is dead (and he ain't gettin' any virgins in hell). Hopefully, this gift of Zarqawi's death will inspire Iraqis to work for a future for their country and life, not "martydom", for their children.
I know that Zarqawi's death won't mean that the Iraq war will be over soon. Tomorrow our troops--God bless 'em!-- will be back to the hard and dangerous task of killing Zarqawi wannabes. But today I, and hopefully many others worldwide, will take some time out to, as it says in one of the Psalms, "dance in the blood of the wicked".
Hooah!

Osama the Racist
You've all heard by now of Osama bin Laden's (OBL) new taped message. In it the Sultan of Savagery accused the West of waging a war on Islam--what else is new?--and pointed to the West's financial embargo of the Palestininans' new Hamas government as "proof". OBL is a nut and maybe, if you think about it, a racist, too.
Yes, America and the EU cut off the Hamas government financially, but how does that equate to a war on Islam? It doesn't, unless you believe that Arab Muslims are the only Muslims that matter, and that's just what OBL seems to think. How else to explain his view that cutting off Hamas means attacking Islam, even when the West maintains diplomatic and financial relations with non-Arab Muslim countries? And what about OBL's support for the murderous, Arab Muslim regime in Sudan?
In his taped message, OBL called on his supporters to join the jihad in Sudan. What he didn't mention is the fact that Sudan's Arab government is, and has been for years, waging genocide not only against black Sudanese Christians in the south, but also, in Darfur, against black Sudanese Muslims. So, in OBL's world, it's not enough to be Muslim to be the good guy, you have to be Arab and Muslim to count. All you non-Arab Muslims who think that OBL is on your side, think again. All you Black Muslims in America who believe that Islam is inherently non-racist, think again. OBL thinks opposing Arab Hamas means opposing all of Islam. OBL supports the genocidal killing of blacks in Sudan. That makes him a racist in my book. What does it make him in yours?

This Is Sharia
The case of Afghan Christian Abdul Rahman illustrates why so many people in the West fear Islam.
Rahman converted to Christianity 16 years ago while working in Germany. The new "democratic" Afghan government, whose constitution guarantees freedom of religion, is now trying him for the "crime" of converting from Islam. If found guilty, Mr. Rahman will be executed according to Sharia law. To be fair, Afghan president Harmid Karzai is trying to save Mr. Rahman's life, but the hardline mullahs who control the judicial system insist that Mr. Rahman must die for "humiliating Allah".
I hope all those moderate Muslims whom everyone keeps talking about but no one ever sees will finally get a voice and speak out against this outrage. This case shows that there is and can be no real religious, or any other kind of freedom, where Sharia rules. If Muslims think that those Danish cartoons insulted their faith, what do they think Westerners will make of executing someone for converting from one religion to another? Such an act will create far more animosity toward Islam than a few amaturish drawings ever could.
Let's be reasonable, or is reason verboten in Islam? Mr. Rahman converted to Christianity over a decade ago. If Allah was humiliated by that act don't you think he would've done something about it then? And how, exactly, does Mr. Rahman's conversion humiliate Allah? If his conversion was the result of deep soul searching and careful study of Islam's and Christianity's competing claims, isn't is possible that Allah might be pleased to see one of his creations using the brain that he gave him? Even if Mr. Rahman's conversion was purely mercenary, how does that humiliate Allah? Does it stop other Muslims from practicing their faith? Does it stop non-Muslims from converting to Islam? No, and no.
Muslims have grown in number since Mr. Rahman's conversion. There has been no loss to the dar al Islam because one man opted to think for himself and chose another faith. And that's what this is really all about. Mr. Rahman isn't facing execution for converting to Christianity; he's facing execution for thinking independently. Sharia is about punishing freedom of thought. Now the world knows that, and that really is a loss for Islam.
Rahman converted to Christianity 16 years ago while working in Germany. The new "democratic" Afghan government, whose constitution guarantees freedom of religion, is now trying him for the "crime" of converting from Islam. If found guilty, Mr. Rahman will be executed according to Sharia law. To be fair, Afghan president Harmid Karzai is trying to save Mr. Rahman's life, but the hardline mullahs who control the judicial system insist that Mr. Rahman must die for "humiliating Allah".
I hope all those moderate Muslims whom everyone keeps talking about but no one ever sees will finally get a voice and speak out against this outrage. This case shows that there is and can be no real religious, or any other kind of freedom, where Sharia rules. If Muslims think that those Danish cartoons insulted their faith, what do they think Westerners will make of executing someone for converting from one religion to another? Such an act will create far more animosity toward Islam than a few amaturish drawings ever could.

Welcome to Kafir Warrior!
Welcome to Kafir Warrior! On this blog I'm going to express my dislike for Islam or, at least, certain parts of it, and explain why I feel that way. I also hope to educate my readers about the real history of Islam's interaction with the non-Islamic world and why the current clash of civilizations is NOT the West's fault. So again, welcome to Kafir Warrior, fighting Islam right!
