The Socialist Media & Militant Islam

By Dick O'Connor

The Socialist Media is doing everything it can possibly do to arouse sympathy for the Muslims in America. The do-gooders seem to be trying to force us to look out for this sect. They forget one primary rule: we have to be alive, ourselves, before we can protect anybody.

In WWII, there was no such liberal media. All of the newspapers and radio stations couldn't do enough to help the war effort. When the Japanese Americans were interned in camps, every one knew it was the right thing to do. No one criticized the action. No one pointed out that some of the internees were not going to hurt us. Yet, we troops felt better in the knowledge that we could not be hurt from within. In truth, some young Japanese Americans became fierce fighters for our nation at Anzio and other battlegrounds against the Nazis. They were not allowed to fight in the Pacific because it was feared they might turn against us. We felt some small sorrow for the fact that people were imprisoned, but we felt it was necessary. The detainees had not been murdered or tortured. Families were not split up. We fed and clothed them and saw to their health needs. After the war, they were released and returned to their homes, although most of them had lost everything. Still later, they were allowed to sue for their losses and were compensated.

On their homeland, the Japanese practiced Shintoism, an offshoot of Buddhism, which glorified war and conquest. The very word 'Kamikaze' signified dying for the Emperor and going to heaven because of the sacrifice. We had a tough time with the Kamikazes'.


We are faced with a similar situation today with the Islamic radicals. Can we tell which Muslims in this country put America above their religion? If so, how? The Media shows us the plight of Muslims who are persecuted by Americans. The media does not dwell on the pictures of Arab celebrations in East Jerusalem, Ramallah, Gaza City, Nablus, etc. Nor does the media dwell on the confiscation of films and tapes of press people who were threatened if they broadcast the celebrations. The PLO and the Muslim groups all over the world show a great knowledge of Public Relations, and issue press releases by the dozens each day. Notice the PR given to the picture of Yasser Arafat 'giving blood' to the victims of our own Holocaust. It was expert! Grim face, needle ready to be inserted. What a PR masterpiece! And how our Liberal Media loved it! It was given prominent space in every major newspaper in our country! Want to bet on whether or not any blood was taken from Arafat?

The GI who has to smoke these people out will sleep better in his foxhole if he knew we weren't subject to attack from within; if all Muslims in this country were confined, or sent back to the Middle East.

This action would arouse an immediate reaction from those countries that supply us with 40% of our oil. No matter what this administration or any administration will tell you, it's all about oil. Bush is trying to walk a fine line, as did his father did, to punish an Arab terrorist country without offending the rest of the Arab nations so that they will not cut off the oil.


As an alternate plan, would you be willing to pay $7.50 to $10.00 a gallon for gas and then not have enough to go around? That is just part of the price we would have to pay to put the Muslims under confinement. This would endure until we uncapped our own wells and tapped new sources such as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Perhaps you are a flag-waving, candle-toting demonstrator yourself. Do you think the flag-waving or the candles or the shouting really helped? Reality is knocking at the door.
