After 9/11, the President launched his War on Terror, saying that you are either with us, or you are against us. The problem is this: Many people still do not know whether they are with him or against him! And he has only got himself to blame!
His War on Terror is ill-defined, since he and his administration have failed to identify the enemy: Islam! And they have failed to bring the Americans, let alone the Europeans, along with them in great numbers.
In Bush, we have a leader of the greatest, most powerful nation in the world who is clearly not well-versed in matters relating to Islam. Indeed, Bush seems not to understand the faith at all - neither its tenets, nor its objectives, nor does he understand its means to achieve those objectives, nor its history of conquest.
George W Bush has become a master of verbal acrobatics; and he is given to speaking from both sides of his mouth at the same time! His words and his deeds are out of synch: on the one hand he takes his country to war; on the other, he entertains the very people whose ideology he is fighting against in the White House in an Iftaar dinner. That would have been similar to Winston Churchill fighting Nazi Germany by sea, land, and air and at the same time inviting Nazi sympathizers in the country to a Christmas dinner at Number 10! It wouldn't have made sense then; and it doesn't make sense now! More recently, we have had news that Muslim Arabs are to be allowed to buy up ports in the US! That would have been like Churchill inviting the Nazis to buy up the London Port Authority! Where, oh where, is this all heading?
First of all, why does the President have to give priority to Muslims by inviting them to any kind of dinner? Does he do this for Jews or Christians or Hindus or Buddhists? I haven't found any reference to such dinners; so I somehow very much doubt that he does. So isn't this recently-started tradition of inviting Muslims to the White House as unfair as it is ridiculous?
Secondly, why does America, wonderful free America, have to invite/allow Muslims to buy up all its businesses? Have Americans lost the ability to finance these operations itself perchance?
President Bush is sending out mixed messages. On the one hand he speaks against the evil ideology of Al-Qaïda; yet on the other hand mollifies the very people who extol the virtues of this ideology! For what Al-Qaïda preaches is Islam, pure and simple! It's not Islam-lite, but Islam, the real thing!
Our leaders, both in the US and UK, can try and whitewash Islam as much as they like; but in the long-run, it will not wash white! The truth about Islam is getting out there, slowly but surely. Witness the beheadings which hardly any so-called “moderate” Muslim seems to object to very much. Were they to object strongly, they’d be out on the streets demonstrating in righteous indignation that such heinous crimes should be perpetrated in the name of their faith. But they aren’t, are they? Funny that!
Islam has a long history of conquest and Islamization of nations. Indeed, each and every country that Islam enters and puts down roots, it eventually takes over. Witness Egypt, Syria, even Libya. What makes the President feel that it will be any different simply because it is America in the twenty-first century? Moreover, in the light of these historical facts, why should he be so pro the idea of Turkey joining the EU, even though the majority of Europeans are very much against?
Now, if what the President really wants is for the US to be taken over by this alien faith, if what he really wants ids for Islam to become the dominant faith in Europe, then he is going the right way about it, since I have heard that he is even spending the Americans' tax dollars on major Islamic initiatives. Were I to be an American taxpayer, I should be furious!
Has a war ever been so waged? I think not. Compare Churchill's leadership of the United Kingdom during the Second World War. Huh! There is no comparison! Churchill was a true leader - engaging, lucid of thought, clear in his objectives, tough in his stance! An orator of unrivalled ability, a tactician unsurpassed in modern history! These are the qualities George W so sadly lacks. These are the qualities George W so badly needs!
Muslims have stated categorically that Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. Omar M Ahmad, the Chairman of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, stated as early as 1988...
Come on, Mr President! Get real! Start reading! Start learning! And then start leading! Start leading your country - and the rest of the West - to victory! I repeat the words of Sir Winston Churchill:
Soft-focus wars, Mr President, with no clarity of vision, just do not work. Sharpen up your focus! State your objectives clearly! Inform the people of the dangers that your country and the West face, and then you'll find that the people will be with you. You will be entitled to claim the aid of all! Change the setting from soft focus to clear focus. Then you'll reap the rewards by making the rest of us far happier, far safer, since then we will all understand. And then we really will be with you, not against you!
Hear Churchill’s speech HERE.

A soft-focus war with an out-of-focus end!
After 9/11, the President launched his War on Terror, saying that you are either with us, or you are against us. The problem is this: Many people still do not know whether they are with him or against him! And he has only got himself to blame!
His War on Terror is ill-defined, since he and his administration have failed to identify the enemy: Islam! And they have failed to bring the Americans, let alone the Europeans, along with them in great numbers.

These are the qualities George W so sadly lacks. These are the qualities George W so badly needs!
Muslims have stated categorically that Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. Omar M Ahmad, the Chairman of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, stated as early as 1988...
Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran...should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth.Then, Isma'il Al-Faruqi, a US Academic Theorist, stated:
Nothing could be greater than this youthful, vigorous, and rich continent [of North America] turning away from its past evil and marching forward under the banner of Allahu Akbar [God is Great].And if the President still doubts the real motives of devout Muslims (and even the less than devout ones!), then all he needs to do is read what the Ayatollah Khomeini said some years ago after the 1979 Revolution in Iran. He said...
We are at war against infidels. Take the message with you. 'I ask all Islamic nations, all Muslims, all Islamic armies, and all heads of Islamic states to join the Holy War. There are many enemies to be killed or destroyed. Jihad must triumph... Muslims have no alternative... to an armed Holy War against profane governments... Holy War means the conquest of all non-Muslim territories. It will be the duty of every able-bodied adult male to volunteer for this war of conquest, the final aim of which is to put Koranic law in power from one end of the earth to the other.'Do these sound like words emanating from the mouth of a follower of a religion of love to you? Do these sound like the words spoken by a tolerant man? Do these sound like the words of a man bent on coming to an accommodation with the non-believers? And aren't such words being spoken by many devout Muslims today?
Come on, Mr President! Get real! Start reading! Start learning! And then start leading! Start leading your country - and the rest of the West - to victory! I repeat the words of Sir Winston Churchill:
I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival. Let that be realised; no survival for the British Empire [you insert American 'Empire'], no survival for all that the British Empire [American 'Empire'] has stood for, no survival for the urge and impulse of the ages, that mankind will move forward towards its goal. But I take up my task with buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. At this time I feel entitled to claim the aid of all, and I say, "come then, let us go forward together with our united strength.So come, Mr President: Get with the story! Your (our) beloved America is in grave danger of going down the slippery slope. Not even Nazi Germany was such a threat for America. There were relatively few Nazis resident in the US at that time. You have a real challenge on your hands now, Mr President! Rise to it! Start thinking clearly! And most of all: Start changing your strategy! The current one is not working, since even if you do somehow manage to bring more than a semblance of democracy to the Middle East - which is very doubtful - you are in danger of losing it at home!
Soft-focus wars, Mr President, with no clarity of vision, just do not work. Sharpen up your focus! State your objectives clearly! Inform the people of the dangers that your country and the West face, and then you'll find that the people will be with you. You will be entitled to claim the aid of all! Change the setting from soft focus to clear focus. Then you'll reap the rewards by making the rest of us far happier, far safer, since then we will all understand. And then we really will be with you, not against you!
