God Is Great
You might not have heard it in the evening news or read about it in the newspaper, but Christians are being slaughtered in both Iraq and Nigeria by radical Islamic extremists. In Iraq specifically, children are literally being beheaded. Let me repeat that, CHILDREN
are being BEHEADED! I guess since there is no Jews to be blamed, as in the case with Gaza and Israel, it’s not as newsworthy.
In the case of Nigeria, Boko Haram (a radical Islamic terrorist group) pillaged the northeastern town of Gwoza, which is predominantly Christian. Roughly 100 people were slaughtered, many who died by having their throats cut while their hands were tied behind their backs. One woman who was lucky to go unharmed during the raid of her village said, “they were chanting ‘God is Great!’ in Arabic.”
And that quote right there is what ties all the radical Islamic madness together. The underlying thread with groups like Hamas, Boko Haram, ISIS, Hezbollah, The Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda, etc, is they chop off heads, slit throats, kidnap people (women and children), blow things up, with the mindset of, “God is Great!” And that whatever they're angry about, very, very angry about, they are justified to sow seeds of evil in God’s name as a result. This sick and warped sense of thinking is something all the aforementioned groups have in common. Their names are all interchangeable as they are one in the same. I see them as evil! Others make justifications on their behalf. That these offenses committed are because of Western influence or “settlements” that are built or a many number of other reasons, and thus the atrocities Islamic terrorists carry out gets a pass.
And the bias is clearly evident. Pro-Palestinian groups are protesting in other parts of the world, getting tons of media coverage, while ignoring the atrocities and tactics used by the terrorists they are in support of. The same evil people [Hamas] who scream “God is Great” while using humans as shields. The mainstream media more often than not paints Israel as the bad guy on the basis that their retaliation tactics are too strong and harsh. That Israel overdoes it with the military response they execute after being attacked first. But the key word here is retaliation! When you repeatedly fire rockets into another country, one that has a vastly superior military force, expect for them to bring the pain! If your neighbor regularly allowed his dog to crap on your front lawn, eventually you’re going to have words with him, right?
When you look at the fierce attacks Israel receives from various media pundits like Lamont Hill on CNN and Jon Stewart of the Daily Show, to name a few, and the lack of similar criticism toward Syria’s government, for example, where the death toll as of this past May was 160,000, it’s shameful. Similarly, nothing seems to be said by the Israel haters when a radical Islamic group like ISIS slaughters 1500 (and counting!) Christians in Iraq. When Iraqi Christians are given the ultimatum of either converting to Islam or beheading, I don’t hear the same noise made as we do with Gaza. No cries of “apartheid” or “genocide” from CNN commentators or the United Nations. It’s hypocrisy at its finest.
When will the rest of the world wake up and realize that the problem isn't the West or Israel, but rather radical Islamic extremism itself? When will more Muslim Americans stand up and denounce those who tarnish the credibility of Islam with the murder of innocent people all while yelling, “God is Great” in Arabic? Sadly, I fear many more will have to die, more heads will need to be chopped off in the name of Allah before the rest of the world wakes up and realizes they've ignored the real problem all along. In closing, I think its important to remind Hamas/Palestinian supporters who they are rooting for. These are a group of people that literally cheered and celebrated in the streets of Paterson, NJ when the terrorist attacks of 9/11 happened. That’s not propaganda, but something which is well documented. It’s time Americans wake up and realize the real threat is coming from those screaming, “God is Great” while their hands are covered in blood.
