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!!!
