This is a letter I wrote which was published in the September 24-30 2009
edition of the Franklin Township weekly newspaper, The Sentinel.
As I re-read this letter this morning, I recalled to mind
the words from an old English proverb:
"The more things change, the more they stay the same."
To The Editor:
As I watched the memorial news coverage of the events of 9/11,
the sight of the stricken World Trade Center towers crumbling into
huge clouds of dust, seeing the Pentagon on fire, and hearing the
anguished voices of the doomed passengers on hijacked airliners
in their final moments on earth, will always invoke a deep sense
of outrage and disbelief within me.
I will never stop wondering how this could have happened in America
and if this horrific day could have been avoided somehow.
I also remember that while most of the world reached out to us that day
in sympathy, there were people dancing in the streets of Cairo, Egypt
and Ramallah, the hometown of the Palestinian Authority, celebrating
our terrible loss. In fact, the late Yassir Arafat was heard speaking on
Arab radio praising the hijackers as heroes.
It still did not convince our State Department to stop giving him money
to kill more Israelis or school little Arab schoolchildren in the ABC's
of murder and mayhem, but that's another story. During this
sad anniversary week, I am further reminded that we are a
host country of a well-known organization that panders to
the sinister cause of these above mentioned revelers, men
and women with the same warped mindset as Arafat,
who cheered the cold-blooded murders of thousands
of my fellow Americans.
It is called the United Nations.
There is more anti-American sentiment coming out of the UN
then ever came out of Europe and the Middle East. According to
Lars Hedegaard of the International Free Press Society, the 56
nation, "Organization of the Islamic Conference" is pressing
their influence on the UN to pass an international law
criminalizing criticism or blasphemy of religion.
In 2008, the Organization of the Islamic Conference laid out a
ten year plan for suppression of free speech and for the introduction
of laws that would prevent criticism of religions, "and the reading
of Islam," reports Hedegaard.
Delving further into this matter, I discovered that the resolution applies
only to the purported 'criticism or blasphemy of Islam'. Although we
are guaranteed the right to free speech in this country under our
Constitution, in the way it was originally written by our founding
fathers, I wonder if these laws could be applied to America one day.
Contrary to our reigning Commander-In-Chief's revisionist spin on
history last spring while schlepping around Turkey, at the beginning of
Holy Week no less, we were and still are founded under the Judeo-Christian
influence of the Bible, not the Koran.
The Organization of the Islamic Conference's influence has already been felt
in Europe where a member of the Dutch Parliament, Geert Wilders is
currently on trial for 'inciting hate' against the Islamic religion.
In his film, "Fitna" Wilders exposed the radical agenda of Muslims,
which includes advocating acts of terrorism, anti-Semitism, violence
against women and homosexuals, and the conquering of western
civilization through worldwide Jihad, or Holy War.
In a strange twist, the Organization of the Islamic Conference's 10-year
plan seems to neatly coincide with the outgoing Bush Administration's
decision to scrap the words, "War on Terror" and "Islamic terrorism" in favor
of less discriminating and more politically correct phrases such as "insurgents"
and "Violent Southeast Asian youths."
Our government's short term memory appalls me. Were many of us not
helpless, heart-stricken witnesses to our fellow Americans given the equally
fatal choices of jumping out of windows or burning to death in the twin towers?
Or listening to the recording of a young man's conversation as he sat on a
doomed airliner, calling his mother to say goodbye? Or people being
trapped and burned alive inside the wreckage of the Pentagon?
What kind of sick Scrabble game is our government playing here? It is
well-known that fifteen of the nineteen hijackers had ties to Saudi Arabia.
Yet, shortly after 9/11, when every American citizen was grounded from
air flight, the members of Osama Bin Ladin's family staying here were
given a free ride home compliments of the US Government!
Everyone was upset when President Obama allegedly bowed before
the King of Saudi Arabia, yet, what about President Bush adhering to
the Saudi 'peace plan' between Israel and the Palestinians?
Saudi Arabia does not recognize Israel's right to exist!
America has always been a beacon of hope and democracy for the entire world.
Most of us descend from the "huddled masses yearning to breathe free".
Our ancestors brought with them their ethnic heritage and different religions,
their hopes and their dreams, but the one vision they all seemed to share
was to be part of the great freedom experiment called America.
Our great-grandparents and grandparents proudly placed their hands over
their hearts and became legal American citizens. They learned how to
speak English, say our Pledge of Allegiance, to salute our flag, serve
with honor in our military, and gradually adapt to our way of life here.
Furthermore, many were not Christians, however, they were able to
come here and worship in relative peace and safety.
Unfortunately today, there is an element among the new wave of immigrants
coming to American shores who do not want to assimilate into our culture.
They feel offended if someone wants them to learn to speak English and
refuse to say the Pledge of Allegiance or salute the flag. They are being
allowed to live here in isolated enclaves unencumbered by our laws,
yet, able to implement their religious laws to trample the rights
guaranteed to all Americans under the Constitution.
.
Truth be told, they have not come here for any other reason
but to wage Jihad, or Holy War against us.
Meanwhile, the liberal mainstream media looks the other way,
while those who try to report the truth are dismissed as kooks and
crazy conspiracy theorists. And then there are some members in the
field of education that are so worried about being sued for discrimination
that they allow these new, unassimilated immigrants to ban Jell-O from being
served in the school cafeteria because they claim to be "offended' by the
dessert food's pork base. Jews do not eat pork products either, yet, I
have never heard of any Jewish group raising Cain over Jell-O being
served in the school cafeteria.
The most logical solution would be to just not eat the Jell-O!
In another recent incident, a young man who had a history of epileptic seizures
was doing post graduate work in a high school in Minnesota. He brought with
him to classes a dog specially trained to assist him. Muslim students in the
school were "offended" by the dog's presence because Islam teaches that
dogs are unclean animals. These students threatened to kill the young
man's dog. When the man complained about the threats to his university,
instead of investigating the incident, the pc administration just issued
him the needed credits and sent him on his way.
Meanwhile, the high school did not reprimand the students who threatened
to kill this man's guide dog. Their excuse? They felt that they, "must be tolerant
towards the belief systems of those from other cultures."
Tolerance means to be fair and objective, not biased and cowardly. How much
more of this politically correct idiocy are we Americans going to take? It is
time for all of us, natural or foreign born, who love this country and cherish
our God-given freedoms to stand up and fight back!
And the first order of the day is getting the UN out of the US!
