Jihad And Mickey Mouse

“One day you will see the flag of Islam
over the White House. Allah Akbar! “

-- a Muslim Imam in California

I'm no stranger to the clips that Fox News plans to air in its show on Saturday 2/3 about Radical Islam: Terror in Its Own Words, but if you haven't seen this footage, you need to. We have good reason to be concerned that Iran and other militant Islamic states will continue to export terror and violence to every corner of the world, including our own back yard.

This isn't just the standard "Death to America!" footage that rolls so often. This shows how the terrorists glorify jihad, how they train children practically from the cradle to idolize suicide bombers, and how they regularly incite violence from the platforms of their mosques. Those on the left would be appalled at the extreme institutional racism both genocidal and ruthless that is broadcast day-in, day-out on Arab channels throughout the Middle East. I have seen these shows using Mickey and Minnie Mouse-like characters to train the children how to despise Jews and Americans. The whole of it makes the World War II-era Japanese fanaticism look weak by comparison.

We all have reason to be concerned. More importantly, I believe our nation has cause to act in the interest of it's citizens to protect them from such crazed hatred. Like it or not, this war may have no choice but to expand. I don't say that lightly. In fact, my stomach churns at the thought. War is so ugly and ruinous and I truly hate it. Yet, I worry that we may have no choice in the near future. Our very survival as a nation may depend on it. May God protect us all and may it be over quickly.
