A family member told me recently that she didn't think we needed a CIA or FBI. And I think she was being sincere. Unfortunately this is an opinion shared by many Americans. When I pointed out to her that the Clinton administration fired approximately 1000 of our CIA informants she seemed completely unconcerned by this. Despite the fact that she was employed by a company that was located in one of the twin towers until one week before it was attacked and fell. Her company moved to Virginia one week earlier. She couldn't comprehend the connection between a strong intelligence network and our national security. But hey, even President Clinton didn't see the connection.
To many people in this country our enemies are President Bush, our volunteer military and the Christian right. Or all those who recognize the need to defend ourselves from the threat of Islam--to subjugate or kill all unbelievers. Democrats in congress are now threatening to cut off funding for the soldiers and marines in Iraq. While Muslims are actively at war with all non-muslims the liberals of this country and the world may be even more dangerous. By empowering the Jihadists through their political correctness and blindness, and opposing at every turn those who would defeat them they are clearing the way for them. Those who collaborate with and aid the enemy should be identified as the enemy. This is too deadly serious to not do so. But we should also pray for them, "for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth." John 12:35
Is this really so serious? Yes. Just read the hateful and unlightened words in the Koran and the ahadith. For example, "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." Koran 9:29 And "fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them" Koran 9:5. Or "Let not the unbelievers think that they can get the better (of the godly): they will never frustrate (them). Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies" Koran 59:60 61.
A warning from our Lord, "And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed." Rev. 13:15
I'm not saying we should start killing our liberal friends and family and neighbors but they should at least be identified for the danger that they are. Does it make sense to just sit back and let them make it easier for Jihadists to kill us? Our lives and our children's lives depend on us identifying them, speaking out against them, and making them as powerless as possible. "And a man's foes shall be those of his own household." Mt.10:36.
