By Henry Lamb April 7, 2008 Page 2 of 2 Americans who fail to recognize that the war is between Islamic extremism and freedom -- regardless of whether the bombs explode in Afghanistan, Iraq, Gaza, or Indonesia -- have their heads in the sand. Those who think Iraq is simply a civil war between warring factions, are way too near-sighted. Those who say that the Muslims are just reacting to our presence in their country fail to recognize the forces in conflict. Anyone who believes that Muslim extremists will suddenly disavow their quest to rule the world when American troops leave their soil is naïve in the extreme. Anyone who believes that freedom, as practiced in the United States, can co-exist with the Islam advanced by the extremists is worse than naïve. The Europeans and Americans who are condemning Dutch MP Geert Wilders, for making a film that displays Muslim clerics reciting the Koran, and statements from Muslim extremists, are empowering the extremists. The truth must be told, and told forcefully. Those who contend that U.S. policy should be to "live and let live" overlook the simple truth that to be successful, this policy must be embraced by all participants. Even a casual review of the Koran reveals that this idea has no place in Islam. Sooner or later, if Muslim extremism is to be stopped, American blood, treasure, and determination will have to stop it. If not now, when? If not there, here! --- Henry Lamb is the Chairman of Sovereignty International , and founder of the Environmental Conservation Organization (ECO). -------------------- Note -- The opinions expressed in this column are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the opinions, views, and/or philosophy of GOPUSA. >> Back -- Page 1 2
