Calling the “Good Muslims” - It is time to act like men

After the bombing in Egypt on Saturday, it is beginning to look like these terrorists aren’t getting it. The only advantage to terrorism is the paralyzing effect it has on the general population. It would appear that this is wearing off. Look at the people of London. Even people on holiday Saturday aren’t giving in – and there 64 people have been killed.

Even Mark Landler has come to this conclusion. Writing in the NY Times he says, “with a drumbeat of attacks in London, Madrid, Bali, Istanbul and New York, people here suggested that yet another act of terror - as tragic as it was - had lost some of its power to inspire dread.” So obvious even the Times can get this right…

The fact of the matter is folks that we should be safer now than we have been in the past - we know who the enemy is, though nobody wants to talk about it. It may not be politically correct to say, but the problem is Islam.

Here me out - We know it is not all Muslims that are the problem. That is a given. Not all Christians killed Jews in Europe on there way to attack Muslims in the name of the Pope during the crusades. It was not the people of Russia that were the problem, it was the communist government. After all, not all apples in the bunch are bad. But there is one fundamental difference – when you look at the apple you can tell if it’s bad – not so with people. The people of Russia finally stood up and demanded a new government, and they got it, and this is what must happen with Islam.

We need the “Good Muslims” to stand up and point these people out. If they are in Mosque and messages of murder are being spouted, then this needs to be publicized. You can no longer turn a blind eye to what is going on around you. It is time to act like men.

This is a situation where the old maxim, “to take no action is an action” applies. If you will not point these people out then we must conclude that you approve of them and what they do. That makes you complicit in there crimes. In this country we have the right of association, but that does not allow you to be complicit in murder.

It is time to act like men...
