People who are not fully aware of the poison forced on Muslim and Arab
people by their religious and political leaders would do well to take some
time and inform themselves. The level of hatred and vilification for all
things Jewish, Christian and Western sounds like the stuff out of a Ku Klux
Klan handbook. Young children are radicalized in their first school year
with appeals that they become martyrs in order to expunge Jewish "filth"
from the region and do Allah's will. This is what we and the Jewish people
face. If the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, all our good
intentions will produce is a superhighway.
Jimmy Carter thinks he is doing God's will by "loving" his enemies. The
expectation behind that biblical instruction is that such an act will soften
the heart of the enemy. But evil does not respond this way. What evil does
is to take these acts (evil people know the commands, too, because they have
studied us more than we have studied them) and use such notions to achieve
their objectives. They will tell us whatever we want to hear in order to get
their way. They believe the Koran allows them to lie to "infidels."
Why won't we understand this? Converts from Islam regularly warn us. Why do
we persist in believing their lies when the only thing they have been
consistent at is lying? If Carter trusts Hamas, whom else would he trust?
Nothing stinks as badly as a perishable item that has passed its "sell-by"
date. That describes Jimmy Carter. His foreign policy was a failure when he
was president, most notably his approach to Iran, which toppled that regime
and gave us what we face now. Now, as ex-president, he continues to cause
damage and undermine his country's foreign policy.
It is said we only have one president at a time. Apparently, Jimmy Carter
thinks otherwise.
