THE WORLD WAR ON TERRORISM

I am sure most Muslims around the world are not terrorists and do not believe in terrorism; however, the recent wave of protests that have been staged supposedly because of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad indicate more than ever that the War On Terror is on the right track. This war cannot be limited just to Afghanistan!

If one looks at where the violence associated with these protests has occurred, and the fact that the violence is being directed not only at Denmark, but also all of Europe, Israel, and the United States, it becomes clearer that these radical Muslims have only one objective-- that is kill or otherwise harm us, the Europeans, and Israelis. Slogans such as “Be Prepared For The Real Holocaust!” and “Slay Those Who Insult Islam!” serve to reinforce the fact that they hate us, want us all dead, and will not pass up any opportunity to harm us.

Add to this the fact that Iran is openly indicating that Iranian students are studying to become terrorists, and the well known fact that Syria is funding Hamas and other terrorist organizations, and there can be no doubt that we are in a global war on terror. Iran must not be allowed to continue their nuclear weapons program.

If we were not in Iraq there can be no doubt that there would be more terrorists headed to the United States. We need to hit the terrorists hard not only where they live, but all countries that aid them. We should collect pictures of those participating in all terrorist-related demonstrations or organizations, and if any of these people are seen outside their own country they should be arrested or killed if necessary. This should also apply to any clerics who support terrorism.

Countries that support terrorism or terrorist organizations must not receive any aid from the United States. The Palestinian Authority, which is now controlled by Hamas, should not receive any aid. By this I mean all aid, including humanitarian. Any country providing aid to these countries must also be considered an enemy of the United States! Any members of Hamas seen outside Palestine should be arrested and prosecuted as terrorists.
