For a single religion to spawn so much hatred, so much inhuman capacity to commit violence against the innocent – there must be a cause. That cause cannot be the preaching of tolerance and peace so often ascribed to it.

According to [Billy] Waugh [Special Operations], America must start recognizing that we are not dealing with a group of people who see anything from our perspective. “Islamic fundamentalists have the capacity to believe in something to the point where they would give up their lives for it. We don’t have that level of belief for anything in our country, and…part of the shock with suicide bombers and hijackers…is our inability to understand this level of passion and commitment. It seems horribly misguided to us, but it’s real, and it isn’t changing. Our ideas about them have to change to fit reality.” It would seem that the majority – the hundreds of millions – of peace-loving Muslims the world over would condemn the extremists, would come out in opposition of their atrocities. Few do. The religious leaders fail to entirely realize the responsibility for stopping this bloodshed falls squarely on their shoulders.
Billy relates that the level of hatred for America within much of that culture is shocking….if America is to survive it must change. And in changing it cannot be wringing its hands over an increasing lack of popularity in the world…
When viewing the terrorist situation we have inherited and the history behind its development…we must begin to realize that the United States has been like an overindulgent parent, too slow to realize the evil of its own progeny, continuing to nurture and even support it long after feeling the sting of its remorseless and conscienceless rage. We have…been too slow to recognize that now it must be killed to be stopped. There is no other answer; the enemy will not permit us one.
Giduck goes on to give a factual overview of the life of Muhammed and the rise of Islam from its bloody origins. Again, he writes this awful summary of historical context in the dispassionate tone of one who has seen and dealt with the end result. There is no hysteria, no wringing of hands, just the facts. He also spends another chapter outlining the various attacks on America – more than we’ve ever heard about or paid attention to - as Islamists have fully grown into their hatred of the West. This chilling chapter contains account after account of Americans murdered, taken hostage for years and years, their lives ruined or destroyed – and we’ve barely noticed. Sadly, Giduck’s summary is still only scratching the surface.
