The Enemy's Helpers

-
Here's a very good piece by Christopher Orlet in the American Spectator. In it, he looks at how our media and left wing are giving strength and energy to the jihadis and making things worse for the West in general.

What I like about this column is that he examines some of the recent polls and interprets the results in a logical manner. This is what most Americans need to be hearing right now.

[[ To sum up: The latest surveys find that only about a third of Americans favor immediate withdrawal (and most of these were influenced short-term by media coverage of the recent Hurricanes), that U.S. withdrawal will do nothing to prevent or deter terrorist attacks and will in fact only make the situation worse.

And yet for the anti-war crowd it is only by giving in to every one of al Qaeda's demands -- pulling our troops, forcing Western oil companies out of all Islamic states, and ending support of those murderous Zionists in Palestine -- that alone will melt the Muslim's cold, cold heart. (Though it will have no affect on Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan and the Frenchman's abhorrence of America.) ]]

The piece also reiterates the point that pulling out of Iraq would not do anything except strengthen the islamo-fascist agenda.

[[ But even if the U.S. pulled every soldier, medic, teacher and human rights worker out of every majority Muslim country, the so-called holy war would carry on unabated. The list of perceived Crusaders' crimes against Islam is far too long to ever write off. Another of bin Laden's beefs against the U.S. was the sanctions placed on Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Is the West prepared to end all sanctions on rogue Islamic states? The U.S. is now considering sanctions on Iran for continuing its nuclear weapons program. That in itself would be enough reason for another al Qaeda attempt on the Pentagon.

Now comes word that French gendarmes have foiled an Islamic terrorist plot to blow up the Paris Metro. If the liberals were correct in their logic, the terrorists would be prizing and praising the French for refusing to fight in Iraq, for supporting the Palestinians over the Israelis, and for generally being a pain in the U.S.'s arse. Instead a member of an Algerian Islamist organization, the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, tells reporters that "France is our number one enemy." ]]

The best, though, is the money paragraph at the end. I'll go ahead and spoil it for you now (can't help myself!):

[[ If liberals want to end terror attacks and gain the love of Muslims militants, they had better be prepared to surrender to bin Laden and convert to Islam. There is no other way. I wonder how Cindy Sheehan would look in a burka? ]]
