Some months back I posted a short piece the point of which was that if Senator McCain was to become our nominee, Hillary was getting my vote. Seemed like a good idea to let them get all the blame for the mess they'll leave behind. We'll put things back together and the Dems will be down for the count for the forseeable future. Hillary was still Queen-in-waiting at the time. The Obama ambush was still in the making.

Everything has changed. The ambush will prove successful. The man emerging victorious is an order of magnitude more dangerous to our nation than Mrs. Clinton, and a greater short term threat (with long term consequences) than Islam.

The threat to the future of this nation posed by Obama and the forces that control him and will come to Washington with him, mean to profoundly alter the American landscape - not just for a while, but permanently.

With the Democrat party firmly under the control of the Marxist, multiculturalist, secular globalist elites, it will be possible for them to reshape this country into a Soviet style 'paradise', subject to the U.N and ruled over by a Judicial Oligarchy appointed by Mr. Obama.

What we contine to learn about Obama and his handlers makes the threat of Obamunism so grave that whole-heartedly supporting Senator McCain should be a no brainer for every patriot, for every citizen who loves this, the greatest nation on earth.

I urge everyone on our side who continues to oppose Senator McCain to seriously reconsider their position. Senator McCain is not the enemy. He will not sell this country out. He will protect this nation against enemies foreign and domestic. He will preserve the Supreme Court as the founders intended.

I especially urge those conservatives with a large voice - Rush Limbaugh comes to mind - to come out now with unconditional and active support for Senator McCain. Stop the criticism and the jokes for now, (offer guidance instead), so that the man we will count on as a buffer to the madness of the marxist left, and to protect us from Islam, can get elected. We can deal with his few 'maverick' tendencies and quirks once he's elected (as we did with Pres. Bush on the Supreme Court nominee and immigration issues).

Following 9/11, in order to try to discover for myself the true nature of this purported Religion of Peace, whose ardent followers had just been responsible for the worst attack ever to take place on American soil, I began to research Islam. I started by reading the Qur'an, at the painfully slow rate of 5 hate-filled pages a day. It soon became apparent that this revered Book of Peace had more in common with Mein Kampf than with the New Testament. In fact, there were many similarities between the two. Both were filled with violence and threats of violence, both shared an arrogant contempt for those who dared to disagree with their authors, both advocated for the complete and utter subjection of all unbelievers, and sought an eventual worldwide hegemony.

One thing about having your head in the sand about Islams intentions, you won't know when its about to be separated from your body.

For those who enjoyed part 1, here is Part 2

[Dialog with Islam is futile and dangerous if not suicidal. - H.]

Despite the outward appearance of infirmity, Omar Abdel-Rahman, the "Blind Sheikh" is a central figure in the Islamic global jihad. He was convicted in 1995 of conspiring to bomb the World Trade Center on February 26, 1993, which killed 6 and injured over 1,000.

Rahman is now serving a life sentence for that crime.

A precocious child, he started studying the Qur’an at an early age, committing much of it to memory. After graduating with a PhD in Qur'anic studies from Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Rahman took leadership roles in a number of jihadist groups including Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya and Egyptian Islamic Jihad, both offshoots of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Based upon his stature as a recognized Islamic scholar, he has the authority to declare religious findings or "fatwas," one of which countenanced the assassination of Anwar Sadat in 1981, a crime for which he was prosecuted but later acquitted and then finally expelled from Egypt.

About Sadat, Rahman has been quoted as saying, "...Sadat was not a Muslim. He made a mockery of Islam and its principles."

Frank Gaffney, the neoconservative movement's leading spokesman on "Islamism," has just discovered to his great shock and consternation that the people he variously calls "Islamists," "Islamo-fascists," and "jihadists"--but never, you know, "Muslims"--are ensconced in America and gaining a foothold in the corridors of power. Paraphrasing the title of Bat Ye'or's Eurabia, he calls this new regime "Amerabia."

May I ask where Gaffney has been? It is now May 2008. Steven Emerson's extremely alarming, mind-altering documentary Jihad in America, showing the profound inroads that jihadist and terror-supporting communities had made in heartland cities across this country, was broadcast on PBS in 1994. Just in case Mr. Gaffney misses the significance of that last sentence, I'll help him out:

It's been a known fact for at least 14 years that Mideast-based jihadist communities and organizations are widely established in America.

Even Americans knowledgeable about Europe’s growing accommodation to the totalitarian ideology known alternatively as Islamism, jihadism or Islamofascism tend smugly to believe the same thing can’t happen here. Think again. Every day, new evidence appears of similar acts of submission – the Islamists call it “dhimmitude” – on the part of the U.S. government, judges, the press and leading corporations.

Eurabia, meet the United States of Amerabia.

[A little historical perspective on the problem of Islam. It's a long read but well worth the effort. Islams quest to conquer the west has been and is ongoing. It isn't radical Islam or some other euphamism, its Islam and it will not stop of its own accord in its intention to destroy western civilization.]

Anyone with only a passing interest in Islamic affairs will be aware of the term "Caliphate." The last Caliphate, that of the Ottomans, was officially abolished on March 3, 1924, on the orders of the secular government of Turkey. Islamists glamorize the Caliphate as something "good," but in its last years, the Ottoman Caliphate was bloated and corrupt. It gave rise to the Armenian genocide under Sultan Abdul-Hamid II. From the early 16th Century onwards, the Sultan of the Ottomans was also the Caliph. On November 1, 1922 the Sultanate was officially abolished and the deposed Abdul-Hamid lost his title of Caliph. 18 days later Abdul-Hamid’s cousin was inaugurated as Abdulmecid II the very last Caliph.

A year earlier the Topkapi Palace, which had formerly been the seat of the Ottoman Sultans, had been turned into a museum. A color photograph taken for Albert Kahn's "Archive of the Planet" project, using the Lumiere brothers' autochrome process, was taken on November 24, 1922 in the palace. It features the gigantic throne upon which the Sultans had sat.

The more effective campaigns being conducted by our enemy in this war are not necessarily those of bombs and bullets. They are being fought in the classrooms and courtrooms, through media manipulation, and the revision of policies and procedures within strategic domestic strongholds. Our enemy has gained more ground by victories in those venues than they could ever have gained on any battlefield.

You’ve got to decide what you are willing to die for. Perhaps it is fortunate that this statement does not actively apply – at least not in its most immediate and operative form - to the vast majority of Americans today. It is indeed applicable, however, to those who are most visibly and actively engaged in the battle against Islamic terrorism.

In his interview last week with Rush Limbaugh, excerpted by Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch, Andrew McCarthy explains how, as the lead federal prosecutor in the Blind Sheikh terrorism case in the 1990s, he started off thinking that the defendant had perverted Islam, then came to realize that the truth was otherwise:

In fact, the whole experience in watching the dynamic of him and other people in the Muslim community throughout the trial was a real eye-opener for me. I wanted to believe in 1993 the stuff that we were putting out, you know, that he basically perverted what was otherwise a peaceful doctrine. But what I found going through all of his thousands of pages of transcripts and statements, was that when he cited scripture to justify acts of terrorism, to the extent he was quoting scripture or referring to it, he did it accurately, which shouldn't be a surprise...
