President Bush Addresses Members of the Knesset

I will reproduce excerpts from the speech transcript and shine the light of reason on them.

And on this landmark anniversary, America is proud to be Israel's closest ally and best friend in the world.

    What sort of friend demands you to perform suicidal acts? Making concessions to Islamic aggression is tantamount to suicide.

Citizens of Israel: Masada shall never fall again, and America will be at your side.

    And what of Jerusalem? America is at your side, shoving you to the edge of the cliff.

We believe that free people should strive and sacrifice for peace. So we applaud the courageous choices Israeli's leaders have made. We also believe that nations have a right to defend themselves and that no nation should ever be forced to negotiate with killers pledged to its destruction.

    Sacrifice for peace? The patriots who founded Israel sacrificed their blood, tears & lives for peace! Giving Gaza to the Falestinians was a sacrifice for nothing, it gained no peace. Peace comes with victory, nothing else! Land for peace is vanity, a total waste; counterproductive because it rewards & encourages aggression.

    Why Oslo? Why Wye River?? Why Annapolis??? You demand that Israel negotiate with Muslims. when Islam is dedicated & devoted to genocide of Jews and the extinction of Israel.  There is nothing special about HAMAS that differentiates it from Islam.

• The Islamic Resistance Movement draws its guidelines from Islam; derives from it its thinking, interpretations and views about existence, life and humanity; refers back to it for its conduct; and is inspired by it in whatever step it takes.
• Allah is its goal, the Prophet its model, the Qur’an its Constitution, Jihad its path and death for the case of Allah its most sublime belief. 

    What the Hell do you discuss with a declared enemy sworn and dedicated to your extinction?

Surah Al-Taubah 29[Rodwell]

Make war upon such of those to whom the Scriptures have been given as believe not in God, or in the last day, and who forbid not that which God and His Apostle have forbidden, and who profess not the profession of the truth, until they pay tribute out of hand, and they be humbled.

     
                           Abu Dawud 14.2477

Narrated Ibn Hawalah:     The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: It will turn out that you will be armed troops, one is Syria, one in the Yemen and one in Iraq. Ibn Hawalah said: Choose for me, Apostle of Allah, if I reach that time. He replied: Go to Syria, for it is Allah's chosen land, to which his best servants will be gathered but if you are unwilling, go to your Yemen, and draw water from your tanks, for Allah has on my account taken special charge of Syria and its people.

                    Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177

Narrated Abu Huraira:     Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."

That is not 'radicalism'. That is not 'extremism'.  That is regular, standard issue, off the shelf orthodox Islam.  Allah commands war upon Jews until they are subjugated and extorted.  Ressurrection day can't come; the Mujahideen can't collect their Houris & wine until they murder the last Jew.  From what cognitive defect does Shrub suffer that he can not comprehend this?

We believe that targeting innocent lives to achieve political objectives is always and everywhere wrong. So we stand together against terror and extremism, and we will never let down our guard or lose our resolve.

    Extremism? No!!  Terrorism is standard issue Islam, there is nothing extreme about it!!

Surah  Al-Anfal 12

(Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels, "Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes."

                                    Surah Al-Ahzab 26-27

And those of the people of the Scripture who backed them (the disbelievers) Allâh brought them down from their forts and cast terror into their hearts, (so that) a group (of them) you killed, and a group (of them) you made captives.  And He caused you to inherit their lands, and their houses, and their riches, and a land which you had not trodden (before). And Allâh is Able to do all things.

That is Allah's word, standard issue, off the shelf Islam, not 'extremism'.  Evidently Bush  approves of aggression so long as women & children are not attacked.  

The fight against terror and extremism is the defining challenge of our time. It is more than a clash of arms. It is a clash of visions, a great ideological struggle. On the one side are those who defend the ideals of justice and dignity with the power of reason and truth. On the other side are those who pursue a narrow vision of cruelty and control by committing murder, inciting fear, and spreading lies.

    What Allah said and Moe did is not 'extremism', its the immutable standard of Islam. Bush will not name the enemy, which is Islam.

This struggle is waged with the technology of the 21st century, but at its core it is an ancient battle between good and evil. The killers claim the mantle of Islam, but they are not religious men. No one who prays to the God of Abraham could strap a suicide vest to an innocent child, or blow up guiltless guests at a Passover Seder, or fly planes into office buildings filled with unsuspecting workers. In truth, the men who carry out these savage acts serve no higher goal than their own desire for power. They accept no God before themselves. And they reserve a special hatred for the most ardent defenders of liberty, including Americans and Israelis.

    Muhammad died before the invention of explosives, so he did not have bombs. He made ample use of the weapons of war available to him. He invented Islam for his own emolument & empowerment.  The killers wear the mantle of Islam because they are obeying Allah and emulating his messenger.  They are practicing standard, off the shelf Islam as Moe preached and practiced it, but with modern materials and  tactics.

And that is why the founding charter of Hamas calls for the "elimination" of Israel. And that is why the followers of Hezbollah chant "Death to Israel, Death to America!" That is why Osama bin Laden teaches that "the killing of Jews and Americans is one of the biggest duties." And that is why the President of Iran dreams of returning the Middle East to the Middle Ages and calls for Israel to be wiped off the map.

    Malignant malarkey!!! anti-semitism is intrinsic to Islam. Moe hated Jews because they recognized his fraud & plagiarism. He was planning on their support; their rejection of his new murder cult enraged him so that he ranted against and waged war upon the local Jewish settlements.

    HAMAS  focuses on Israel because her existence on land conquered by Islam is evidence of the fact that Allah is an impotent idol.  Islam advances, it never retreats. Islam conquers, it never yields. Allah promised victory; world domination. and a ten to one kill ratio. Islam lost four straight to tiny, vastly out numbered and out gunned Israel.  Allah did not keep his promises. Muslims can't live with this; Israel must go.

There are good and decent people who cannot fathom the darkness in these men and try to explain away their words. It's natural, but it is deadly wrong. As witnesses to evil in the past, we carry a solemn responsibility to take these words seriously. Jews and Americans have seen the consequences of disregarding the words of leaders who espouse hatred. And that is a mistake the world must not repeat in the 21st century.

    The ultimate hypocrisy!  Bush is covering up the hateful words of the Qur'an & Hadith which are preached in every Mosque.

Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: "Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided." We have an obligation to call this what it is -- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.

    Red herring:  terrorists and radicals; no such entities exist separate from Islam.  Those who practice terrorism are emulating Moe, their exemplar in obedience to Allah.
                    Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220

I have been made victorious with terror...

  
Bush is guilty of perpetuating the false comfort of appeasement in his 'road map'  and his Annapolis Conference.  He demands that Israel appease Abbas, who is a Muslim and a terrorist. Secretary of State Rice has been demanding the elimination of check points and other security measures, that is appeasement.  

Some people suggest if the United States would just break ties with Israel, all our problems in the Middle East would go away. This is a tired argument that buys into the propaganda of the enemies of peace, and America utterly rejects it. Israel's population may be just over 7 million. But when you confront terror and evil, you are 307 million strong, because the United States of America stands with you. 

America stands with you in breaking up terrorist networks and denying the extremists sanctuary. America stands with you in firmly opposing Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions. Permitting the world's leading sponsor of terror to possess the world's deadliest weapons would be an unforgivable betrayal for future generations. For the sake of peace, the world must not allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon. 

Malignant malarkey! The terrorist network is Islam. Every nation with a Muslim majority is a terrorist sanctuary. Every Mosque, Masjid & Islamic Center in non-Muslim nations is a terrorist sanctuary.  If you doubt this fatal fact, read  3:151, 8:12, 33:26-27, 59:2, Bukhari 1.7.331 &  Bukhari4.52.220.  While Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism, so is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Islam is the chief sponsor of terrorism.

Ultimately, to prevail in this struggle, we must offer an alternative to the ideology of the extremists by extending our vision of justice and tolerance and freedom and hope. These values are the self-evident right of all people, of all religions, in all the world because they are a gift from the Almighty God. Securing these rights is also the surest way to secure peace. Leaders who are accountable to their people will not pursue endless confrontation and bloodshed. Young people with a place in their society and a voice in their future are less likely to search for meaning in radicalism. Societies where citizens can express their conscience and worship their God will not export violence, they will be partners in peace.

    Allah is soverign; only Allah has the right to rule, through his vice regents: Moe's Caliphs. Allah's decisions are final; not to be questioned. 

Surah Al-Ahzab  36

It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allâh and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error.

    There is absolutely nothing to stop elected regimes in Afghanistan & Iraq from resuming sponsorship of terrorism!  So long as they are Muslim, that is exactly what they will do.

The fundamental insight, that freedom yields peace, is the great lesson of the 20th century. Now our task is to apply it to the 21st. Nowhere is this work more urgent than here in the Middle East. We must stand with the reformers working to break the old patterns of tyranny and despair. We must give voice to millions of ordinary people who dream of a better life in a free society. We must confront the moral relativism that views all forms of government as equally acceptable and thereby consigns whole societies to slavery. Above all, we must have faith in our values and ourselves and confidently pursue the expansion of liberty as the path to a peaceful future.

     Ancient Rome had a Senate elected by free citizens. Did that stop Rome from engaging in imperialism?  Bush's fundamental insight comes from his fundament, not his brain.  Islam's tyranny and despair are built in and immutable. Islam can not be reformed because Allah forbids changing his word. See  18:27.

    Ultimately, one billion are consigned to slavery by the moral relativism that views all 'religions' as equally acceptable pathways to God.  Expansion of liberty requires contraction of Islam.

From Cairo to Riyadh to Baghdad and Beirut, people will live in free and independent societies, where a desire for peace is reinforced by ties of diplomacy and tourism and trade. Iran and Syria will be peaceful nations, with today's oppression a distant memory and where people are free to speak their minds and develop their God-given talents.

    In that case, they won't be Islamic any more. Islam & liberty are incompatible.  Islam  & peace are incompatible.

Al Qaeda and Hezbollah and Hamas will be defeated, as Muslims across the region recognize the emptiness of the terrorists' vision and the injustice of their cause.

    Islam is the terrorists' vision: a world completely dominated by Islam.  If Muslims recognize the emptiness of Islam,  they need to apostasize, en mass  so that the system  which maintains them in slavery  will collapse.

And a future of transformation is possible in the Middle East, so long as a new generation of leaders has the courage to defeat the enemies of freedom, to make the hard choices necessary for peace, and stand firm on the solid rock of universal values.

    Islam is the enemy of freedom. The new generation of leaders must have the courage to defeat and eliminate Islam from the region and the world; they must choose total victory.
