I have been exchanging comments with a blogger regarding the “Almost imaginary enemy” here.
.
The last exchange looks like this:
.
Me: The approach of “it does not seem like a serious threat so let’s ignore it” defies commonsense and logic. What you are saying essentially is “We know there is a threat, but let’s wait until it becomes too large to be resolved easily, and explode into a large scale war that would result in millions of casualty”
.
This is Obama’a approach towards the Islamic threat of Iran and the Islamic terrorism, and this was the approach towards Hitler in the 1930’s.
.
PREVENTION is what we need to focus on.
.
FM reply: And why does it defy “commonsense and logic”? Should we spend a trillion dollars on prevention of every potential threat? That would remove the uncertainty about America’s doom, as bankruptcy would become certain.
.
Me: “this was the approach towards Hitler in the 1930’s.”
.
(FM:) This is nuts. Not every threat is Hilter.
.
My take on it is:
.
That is precisely my point – address the potential threat while it is inexpensive to do so, in terms of dollars and lives. Do not wait until the problem is too big to handle. This is when you will have to spend that “trillion dollars”.
.
FM was putting words in my mouth (or keyboard in this case) which I did not say (type), and then criticising me for these words.
.
Where did I suggest that a trillion dollars will need to be spent? If you adopt the approach of waiting until the problem becomes acute, then it will probably cost a trillion and at that stage you will have to spend it.
.
I suggested the use of principle of reciprocity in dealing with the threat of Islamic expansionism in the civilised world.
.
If they do not allow freedom of worship in their countries to non Muslims, you must reciprocate. If you don’t, they see it as a sign of weakness, which will only embolden them. We see that happening everywhere.
.
And it is important to note, that this is NOT a conspiracy theory: it is a central element of the Islamic belief system, and an openly declared goal (albeit not always in English) by all present day Islamic jurists, theologians and political leaders.
.
The problem in using prevention successfully is the inability to prove that you actually prevented something from happening, as you might claim that it would not have happened anyway.
.
If in 1938 the allies had invaded Germany, destroyed its industrial infrastructure, destroyed its army, and in the process caused 200,000 civilian casualties, they would have been accused of aggression and killing many innocent civilians, not applauded for preventing a horrible war and the deaths of tens of millions, even though by that time, the danger was clear and present.
.
Here the Islamic leaders come to our aid by telling us that they want to subjugate the USA and the rest of the civilised world to Islamic rule.
.
This is what you need to prevent.
.
Anyone who openly threatens to impose domination on others in the name of some ideology that he considers superior, must be disabled and neutralised.
.
At present, USA is not engaged in any prevention.
.
And to make things even worse: USA government is facilitating their design by granting unwarranted freedoms and giving away PC-infected concessions, with deadly consequences.

Let’s Be Nice to the Enemy – Maybe They Will stop Killing Us
05/12/2009
Forget the economy, healthcare, czars, and war: Islamisation is your challenge, America!
Another “Book Posting” hiatus: Below is an email sent to some of the popular media and Internet personalities. And you, me dear reader, I also ask, to spread the word far and wide.
.
Islam is the fastest growing religion in most non Islamic countries, including the USA.
.
Which is the fastest growing religion in Islamic countries, I don’t have to tell you.
.
Why? Because promoting any religion other than Islam in most Islamic countries is against the constitution (that is, Islam/Quran/Shari’a), and many of those who tried did not live to tell the story.
.
If that is the case, then why should it be legal to promote Islam in the USA?
.
The only solution is to tackle this challenge head-on, by introducing a new constitutional amendment (28th?), saying something like:
.
Congress shall make laws in respect of each established religion, limiting its freedom to establish and exercise religion as stated in “Article the Third” of the First Amendment, to an extent not greater than the extent to which such freedoms are granted by that religion to members of other religions and belief systems.
.
Essentially, you should not grant Islam more religious or expression freedoms than what Islam Grants Christians, Jews, Hindus or any other religious groups.
.
This is fair and equitable, morally justified and politically expedient. Do not be afraid to target Islam in the same way that Islam targets you.
.
Remember: With Islam, if you don’t win – you lose. There is no middle ground.
.
All the other challenges that America is faced with are not insurmountable, and in the main, could be overcome in time, as the political landscape changes.
.
Islamic expansionism, however, if ignored, future generations will not be able to shake off.
.
Your grandchildren may inherit economic mess and high debt, but they may be able to cope with it. But if they inherit Islam, then it will be the end of the Republic.
.
These laws, when enacted, will impose the same restrictions that Islam imposes on other religions, such as immigration, naturalization, citizenship, building houses of worship, public prayer, religion-based concessions, propaganda, proselytizing, and more.
.
I urge you to promote this idea with your public, and with your congress representatives.
