Ban Islam!

By Dick O'Connor

An AP report in the Fox News segment on the Internet for Oct 22, 2001 tells us that in London, one Abu Hamz al-Masri, chief cleric (mullah) for the Muslim mosque in London England has declared war on America and his host country, Britain. He came to England in 1984 pleading for asylum from Somalia and his native Egypt. After enjoying the perks and benefits of a true democracy, he now wants to destroy that government. He has previously stated that his goal is to make Great Britain an Islamic state. As far as terrorism goes, Britain is in as deep trouble as we are, except for the World Trade Center attack.

What both Britain, who has been our most enthusiastic supporter, and America must do is to enact laws for each country to expel these treasonous people from our respective nations. Immediately, and without due process. Those laws that are on the books now are laws passed by Liberal/Socialists Utopians. And, while well meaning, they are unable to cope with the dedicated violence of Islam. Next, all suspects that are being held by the FBI and Scotland Yard should follow the steps of those who openly preach hatred of our governments. Again, without due process, they should be sent back to their country of origin. If that country refuses to take them, or has promised to execute them, they should be returned forcefully to Afghanistan or any other Islamic country that will take them. There should be no attempt to 'understand' their hatred toward us. The fact that they hate us is enough.

The next step would be to close all Muslim mosques and schools that teach Islam. At that point in time when mosques and schools are closed, the people of Middle Eastern descent will realize that thy are being discriminated against and will scream to the United Nations. They should be given a choice: either drop the Muslim faith and dress as Americans or Britons and support our nations as the first order of business. They should be allowed to join any Catholic Protestant or Jewish sect, but they must renounce Islam, which is trying to destroy our respective countries. If they wish to stay here, they must meet these conditions. If they wish to practice the Mohammedan faith, they will have to leave the country. In no way should these people be tortured or abused. They should be treated with respect, but given the choice firmly and sent away if not agreed to.

Now.................................!!! You must be thinking that the Muslims will not stand still for this. After all it is blatant discrimination. You are right. There will be a furious reaction from the Muslim world. They will immediately cut off oil shipments to our two nations. For America, that means 40% of our oil is gone. For England it is not so bad; they will be cut off as well, but they have the huge North Sea basin to use. Some of that surplus oil they were selling to us and may still be able to help. But we will feel the crunch yesterday. Are we so spoiled and soft that we cannot endure discomfort?

We can and should open the Arctic National Wild life Refuge to drilling. But that will take years in order to make up for the Arab boycott. We can more quickly bring the wells in our own Midwest back on line to help in the crisis. We will pay dearly for our independence from Muslim oil, but that is much cheaper then having to accept a set of values the Muslim would force upon us. Make no mistake, We are in a religious war with the Islamic faith and it will be brutal. The first and most important thing is to recognize this, and then to realize that we might not have all of the luxuries we once had until the war is over.

In America, we may not always realize what another nation is enduring in order to help our country. It should be hailed and admired in every medium that Great Britain has unselfishly tried to 'buddy' us in our hour of tragedy. It should also be recognized that Russia has adopted a much more conciliatory stance in deference to our needs. Even China is trying to remain neutral. This may be the opportune moment to re-align the power structure of the world. But, in any case let us be aware of what England has volunteered to us in an hour of crisis. And let us not try to disguise this power play as anything but a religious war. To do so would be very naive and will have devastating results. Remember, according to Islamic teaching we (meaning Western civilization) are the infidels.
