America, Stop Bending to Muslim Pressure Groups!
Gina Miller
I know I’m far from being the only one who has had it with the cowardice of our political and military leaders who constantly cave and cater to Muslim spokesmen who get enraged when anyone criticizes Islam. Last Thursday, the Army rescinded an invitation to Franklin Graham–the son of Billy Graham–to speak at the Pentagon on our National Day of Prayer. Why did they do this? Because some Muslim advocacy groups, including CAIR, were offended by Mr. Graham stating back in 2001 that the religion of Islam is evil and wicked. And, Mr. Graham is wrong how?
It is disgusting to see, not just “leaders” in our country and around the world, but also people like the producers of South Park and book writers buckle to the ground with the first hint of displeasure from any Muslim group. The fear of offending Muslims is so extreme, that people are backing off and apoligizing for the most ridiculous of perceived offenses to Islamists.
This is our country. It doesn’t belong to the Middle East! Here in America, we are free to express our beliefs and opinions. Groups like CAIR certainly hope to remove the freedom we have to criticize their evil religion, and they have been doing a pretty good job of it, so far. But, it’s astonishing that anyone at all would even give CAIR the time of day after more than a dozen of their officials have been investigated for terrorism ties, and CAIR itself was named an unindicted co-conspirator in a twelve million dollar terrorism funding trial. CAIR is no friend of our country, to say the least.
Of course, there is never any outrage at all when Christianity is attacked and insulted on a daily basis in the media and Hollywood, in our colleges and elsewhere. The double standard is staggering. The daily anti-Christian vitriol that comes out of the mouths of leftist commentators and is shown in television shows and movies is just another usual day at the office, but let just one cartoonist depict Mohammed with a bomb in his turban, and the entire Muslim world erupts in murderous, wild-animal hysterics.
America has always been a country of religious freedom. In theory, you can practice whatever religion you like as long as you’re not breaking the law. But, when it comes to Islam, we’re talking about a different ballgame. Franklin Graham is right. Islam is an evil and wicked religion. This is not meant to disparage ordinary Muslims, because I believe they are poor slaves to this political-religious ideology. I’m talking about the religion itself and the Muslim masters that wield Islam like a power tool.

Islam’s treatment of women alone should be enough to make it illegal in America, not to mention the way the Islamists assert themselves through murderous terrorism! Islam is no ordinary religion, and I don’t care who is offended by what I say! Remember! September 11, 2001–nearly 3000 Americans were murdered by Islamists who likely shouted to their evil god as they crashed those airplanes into our buildings and into that lonely Pennsylvania field. And, that’s just one example of countless murderous attacks around the world perpetrated by the deluded followers of the false and wicked religion of Islam.
Islam is an enemy to any person or country who does not bow down to its evil tenets. Heck, it’s even an enemy to its own people–Islamists murder more of their own people than they do non-Muslims!
We need to stop giving a rip about offending these backward fanatics who work openly for the destruction of our country. Islamists who are seeking the overthrow of our country and who teach “death to America” in their mosques should be driven from our shores. They have no business in our great land. They must be stopped!
I realize many people fear lawsuits by excessively litigious groups like CAIR. However, we must stand up to them without fear. They are backed by massive amounts of Middle Eastern money for the very purpose of spreading their detestable Sharia law like a cancer in our country. If enough people would fight back and not give in to their insane demands, they would eventually be hobbled. As it is, pretty much all they have to do is send an email or issue a press release, and the target of their displeasure crumbles like a dry cookie.
We must grow a backbone. We’re Americans, and we don’t have a history of being pushovers in the face of bullies, although that is obviously changing. It’s not too late to turn back the politically correct tide of kissing the ring of the Muslim “advocacy” groups. But, it’s going to take all of us standing strong in the face of irrational, anti-American and unconstitutional Muslim opposition to our way of life.
And, it’s not too late for the Army to take back its stupid, cowardly decision and return Franklin Graham to his invited position as speaker at the Pentagon for our National Day of Prayer.
