Imam Bush Strikes Again

If anyone wants to know why Muslims the world over tell pollsters the United States is at war with Islam, just read President Bush's speech at the Islamic Center of Washington . . . .

As one who has attended a bar mitzvah at that synagogue down the road [from the Islamic Center], I have news for the president: Freedom, American-style, has changed. To enter [the synagogue nearby], I passed an armed guard holding an automatic weapon manning the door. Armed guards like him man many such doors in many such cities. In fact, so common is it for religious worship to require armed protection today that we miss the implications: the degree to which freedom to worship without fear in America has been curtailed by the open-ended threat of Buddhist violence.

Whoops, sorry. I mean, curtailed by the open-ended threat of Greek Orthodox violence. Or was that Catholic or Lutheran violence?

No, the peril to the synagogue was and remains Islamic violence. The resulting diminution of freedom is a symptom of advancing dhimmitude -- the diminished cultural condition of non-Muslims living in relation to Islam.

So, freedom of worship ain't what it used to be. But even in its terror-constrained state, the spread of American religious freedom actually threatens religiously unfree Islamic cultures, which, for example, consider "apostasy" -- deciding not to be Muslim -- a capital crime.

"I am astonished by President Bush when he claims there is nothing in the Quran that justifies jihad violence in the name of Islam," jailed Islamic scholar Abu Qatada said under similar circumstances almost six years ago. "Is he some kind of Islamic scholar? Has he ever actually read the Quran?"

No. He's just leader of the Free World -- a Free World that has become less free and more dhimmified on his severely myopic watch.

That is what frightens me. Bush is such a "good" man that he cannot see the truth about either the Ismlamofascists who are at war with America, or with the Aztecans who are at war with America.

Both are invading our nation, and Bush wants their votes. Bush does not care how many Americans they kill as long as they vote that he is a good guy. This lame duck is looking for a legacy. I think his legacy will be the end of Liberty in this land of the formerly free.
