I want to commend every newspaper for having the courage to include a
copy of Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West in their
newspapers. It is because of the courage of some in the media that we
at least have the chance to stop Radical Islam before it‘s too late.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time in our world's history that
people wishing for peace have made the mistake of thinking that peace
can be obtained by appeasement. Sadly, before WWII, we made the same
mistake. Instead of seeing the world as it was, we insisted on seeing
it as we wished it would be. And because we refused to face the truth
about the Nazi agenda, millions died and millions more were slaughtered
in camps such as Auschwitz.
Today, we face a similar enemy: Radical Islam. And although there are
some of Muslim faith who wish to live in peace, one has only to read
the news to see that there are many Muslims who clearly want us dead.
This is a lesson we should have learned on September 11th. And we
should have learned it when the media reported that in a number of
Muslim countries, Christians have been imprisoned, and in some cases
beheaded simply because they believe in Jesus Christ. We should have
learned it when we watched as churches were burned to the ground simply
because a number of Muslims didn’t like the comments that had been made
by the Pope. And we should have learned it as we saw millions in Iran
chanting Death to America and Death to Israel over and over again. Are
there Muslims who wish peace? Yes. Absolutely. But they are too
few-and they are too silent.
America has always been called on to do more-be more. And time and
again we have answered that call. But if we want America to remain
what it has always been, the “Home of the Brave and Land of the Free”,
then we must, despite our fears, face the truth as it is-not as we
wish it were. And we must be willing to act. Because if we do not
confront the very real danger that Radical Islam poses to the very
survival of all free-loving people, then the holocaust our children
will be forced to endure will make WWII look like a walk in the park.
