Learning The Lessons Of History?

Posted on by

October 7, 2023, was the announcement to the world that the “two-state solution” would not work. Some of the world chose not to hear that announcement. In 2005, Israel withdrew from Gaza. They let Gaza elect its own leadership and govern itself. Before October 7, 2023, Gaza was essentially a Palestinian state. Jews were not allowed to buy or own property there. A resident of Gaza who sold property to a Jew would be killed. Gaza was at first governed by the Palestinian Authority and later Hamas was elected. Hamas ended elections. Just for the record, the rocket attacks on Israel began under the Palestinian authority and continued under Hamas. Children in Gaza were trained and encouraged to be martyrs from a young age.

This is a picture of a Palestinian kindergarten class:

Tunnels storing weapons and providing escape routes for terrorists were hidden under children’s bedrooms in Gaza. Hospitals were used as military headquarters with tunnel complexes underneath. Families were paid support by the government of Gaza if a family member killed Jews and was imprisoned or killed. Gaza was not a Palestinian territory–it was a terrorist enclave.

September 11, 2001, was the announcement to the world that Islam, as defined in the Qur’an, is NOT a religion of peace. Again, some of the world chose not to hear that message. The September 11th message has become clearer as European countries who allowed massive immigration from Muslim countries are realizing that some cultural divides cannot be bridged. In Western culture, it is not acceptable to sexually harass a women because she is not wearing a hijab or a burka. It is not acceptable to rape a woman because she is out alone. Some of the countries that have allowed massive amounts of Muslim immigrants into their countries are now offering to pay those immigrants to leave.

All civilizations are not equal. All civilizations do not provide adequate protection for women and children. I learned this years ago in talking to a Muslim man in Massachusetts. He explained to me that his loyalty was not to America and if he were called to fight against America for the cause of Allah, he would do that. He also explained how proud he would be if his children became martyrs for Allah. He is living in America as an American citizen.

Again, all civilizations are not equal.

When Islam Fights For Control

Yesterday Breitbart.com posted a story about the continuing uprising of Boko Haram militants attempting to take control of northeastern Nigeria in their quest to establish an Islamic state. Caution–the link contains a very disturbing picture.

The article reports:

Suspected Islamic extremists attacked an agricultural college in the dead of night, gunning down dozens of students as they slept in dormitories and torching classrooms in an ongoing Islamic uprising in northeast Nigeria, the school’s provost said.

As many as 50 students may have been killed in the attack that began at about 1 a.m. Sunday in rural Gujba, Provost Molima Idi Mato of the Yobe State College of Agriculture, told The Associated Press.

“They attacked our students while they were sleeping in their hostels, they opened fire at them,” he said.

Nigeria will have a presidential election next year.

The article reports:

A local government official said there had been a series of attacks in recent weeks and threats of more. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he feared for his life, said Gwoza town was deserted when he visited it briefly under heavy security escort on Thursday.

He said militants had chased medical officers from the government hospital in Gwoza, which had been treating some victims of attacks. And he said they ahd burned down three public schools in the area.

The official said the Gwoza local government has set up offices in Maiduguri, the state capital to the north.

This is the face of Islam. Until Islamic leaders around the world begin to denounce this sort of behavior, I refuse to believe that Islam is a religion of peace.
