President Bush has spent some of his credibility on the
ludicrous claim that Israel won because he knows that the global jihad will rapidly accelerate with the perception that Hezbollah has attacked Israel and survived. Muslim plans for worldwide genocide have just rocketed past the tipping point, as
this dispatch from "secular Turkey" exemplifies.
The argument between Islamists and the bulk of "moderate" Islam is primarily pragmatic. "Moderate Islam" points to Mohammed's dictum that when strong, conquer, and when weak, get strong. Given that the West is currently stronger, now is not the time for active jihad, they argue. The active global Islamic conquest, after all, stopped at the time of the fall of the Ottoman Empire. This demonstrated that the infidels were overwhelmingly stronger than the jihadis, and the time had come to dream of jihad instead of practicing it.
Islamists counter that the West is a "paper tiger," utterly unwilling to use its strength if tricked according to Mohammed's lesson that "war is deceit." When open aggression results in strategic advances such as Hamas' precipitation of Israel's retreat from Gaza, the debate evaporates. That explains the subsequent landslide Hamas election victory.
Hezbollah is now arguing throughout the Muslim World that a limited number of relatively weak and inaccurate rockets caused a Israel to flee and sue for peace under humiliating terms. Of course, their formula demonstrates that they are unstoppable when hidden in largely Christian population centers, given that the West is unwilling to inflict civilian casualties. All Israel attempted to do was to slow the pace of attack by temporarily disrupting the missiles' ceaseless influx.
Hezbollah is now presenting the type of slide shows that are so common in corporations following a successful proof-of-concept. (At the same time they have given new meaning to the complaint of "
death by PowerPoint.") We need money, they claim, to:
expand inventory
increase range
improve accuracy
increase payload
increase the number of fronts against Israel, particularly the West Bank
build more civilian accommodations atop missile launchers.
"Moderate" Muslims worldwide are now responding wildly with resources. Occasionally America "closes" a terrorist financial channel, but that is like plugging one hole in a sieve.
Rather than dedicating all its resources to Katyusha missile defense (cancelled by the Israeli leaders who unanimously promised a lower defense budget in the recent election), Kadima and company are preoccupied, as usual, with domestic political concerns. Israel has shown that it has no defense against the jihad's prototype.
Those who died in the gas chambers will have have endured a relatively small amount of suffering compared to what "moderate" Muslims are now planning once Israel, and then the West, are defeated in the coming full-scale rollout of the Lebanon War.
Ilan Halimi,
Darfur,
Beslan and the
Ramallah lynching are a preview.
The aggressiveness of the jihad is rapidly accelerating, with unpreventable nuclear attacks only a matter of time. Should Israel be defeated, an orgy of unending torture and rape will ensue, catalyzed by religion. This will whet the appetite for the final conquest of all the world's infidels.
God save us all from our Leftist shackles.
