Geert Wilder’s “FITNA” Movie

The following film was produced by Geert Wilders, a member of the Dutch Parliament. Mr. Wilders has caused a great deal of controversy lately due to his fervent opposition to the spread of Islamofascism throughout Europe, and the world.

Mr. Wilders was recently banned from entering Great Britain due to threats on his life by British Muslim extremists.

Mr. Wilders understands that Islamofacism is the greatest threat that faces the free people of the world today. Islamic extremists seek to destroy western civilization as we know it. We, as American conservatives, have a responsibility to recognize this and to act upon this threat.

Mr. Wilders’ film is especially relevant today during the early days of the Obama Administration. The Administration has appeared thus far to act naively in dealing with nations that promote Islamofacism. President Obama conducted his first public interview as president with an arabic speaking news network, and he has also repeatedly said that his administration will be willing to meet with Iran with no preconditions.

The Obama Administration appears to be on the road towards a policy of complete appeasement. We all know what the consequences of a weak foreign policy are; anyone remember Jimmy Carter?

Mr. Wilders was completely correct in comparing Islamic Extremism to Nazism, and Communism. In this day and age, we must defeat this ideology of terror and indoctrination in order to make our world a safe place for democracy and freedom.

We Will Not Falter, We Will Not Fail

On Sept. 11, 2001, I was a 6th Grade student at Parkway Central Middle School in Chesterfield, Missouri. I didn’t learn of the attacks on the World Trade Center and The Pentagon until around 1:00 in the afternoon. Obviously, like everyone else, that day was a day of shock and confusion for me. I remember being particularly shocked that Terrorists were able to attack the most important building in the U.S military. The most remembered attack was in New York, but for someone who was just hearing about it, I was shocked about the Pentagon.

I especially remember the spirit of unity among Americans during the days after 9/11. Americans united around a common leader, and a common goal. I’m not sure that I will ever truly see a United States Of America again, but I was lucky, at least for a time, to experience how unified the American people can be.

The true legacy of 9/11 can only be fulfilled if we bring those responsible for the attacks to justice. On this seventh anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, we must not forget that Osama Bin laden, and Al Qaeda in general , is still at large. We must bring those responsible to justice. Never again will we allow an attack on our liberty and well being. Let us never forget.

Al-Qaeda Is Still Important In 2008

This last week, on Fox News Sunday, I watched Chris Wallace interview Mike McConnell, President Bush’s National Intelligence Adviser. I couldn’t catch the entire interview, but I have a feeling that Mr. McConnell’s presence on the show had something to do with President Bush’s “Protect America” wire-tapping legislation. ( Which the Democrats are probably right in refusing passage of.) Anyway, Mr. McConnell consistently eluded to the fact that Al-Qaeda, although not as strong as they were before September 11th, are now presently gaining strength abroad. Mr. McConnell got a message across to me, but it had nothing to do with wire-tapping.

The interview reminded me how badly the War on Terror has been managed in the past five years or so. For some reason, during that interview I became upset at the fact that such a violent group as Al-Qaeda still exists in a post 9/11 world. The fact is that after nearly seven years, Al-Qaeda has changed us more than we have changed them. Al-Qaeda’s terrorists might be willing to fall by American bullets, but I for one am not willing to see more U.S Servicemen and women die in conformity to such an extremist agenda as Islamic Jihad.

The war on Islamic Extremism must be an issue in this upcoming General Election. I believe that the American people must be made to see how monumentally important are purpose is against freedom hating terrorism. We must win in Iraq mainly because we as a nation don’t want to repeat the mistakes we made there elsewhere. In other words, we don’t wnt to provide Al-Qaeda with another playground on which to slaughter our troops. Because of that, in the General Election, I will vote for whoever I think will wisely and aggressively pursue Al-Qaeda with all their might.

In closing, during the McConnell interview a highly inspirational yet slightly comforting thought came to me; How would Reagan handle Al-Qaeda? I have a feeling that all of us should know that answer. You see, in the 1980’s, we had a different sort of enemy which sought to undermine our freedom. That enemy was the Soviet Union. President Reagan understood that, in order to win the Cold War, the Soviet State would have to cease to exist. Similarly, in order to win the war on terror, Al-Qaeda must cease to exist. Whoever our next president should be, they would be wise to follow President Reagan’s example.
