Arab translators cheered 9/11

With all the Israelis/Jews and other non-Muslims there are who can speak Arabic, it shocks me that the FBI would make use of these people who are putting the security of the U.S. in danger!

"Political correctness" is one of the most potent weapons the enemy has.

I heard not long ago that soon after the need arose for large numbers of translators and interpretors, many Sephardic Jews, loyal American citizens, offered to help (Sephardic Jews are those who migrated across North Africa instead of across Europe), but they were turned down by the FBI because of PC.

What are we to do? The course our "protectors" are taking is suicidal.

Would not Maronites and Copts, along with Arabic-speaking Jews, provide a pool of potential translators? French Intelligence has found Berbers (Kabyles) most trustworthy, particularly those who detest the forced arabization of Berber culture (and in France it is among the Berbers that one finds the highest level of lapsed or ex-Muslims). Of course they would have toa be carefully vetted; those Copts, for example, who had relatives subject to pressure from the Muslim government of Egypt, or those Maronites who, like Elie Hobeika, ended up working for Syria, would have to be carefully filtered out; the problem of dhimitude does not end once someone arrives on these shores. Many, but not all, Christians among the Palestinian Arabs in the U.S., as in Israel, promote the Islamic geopoligical agenda -- i.e. the Jihad against Israel, either for reasons of putative self-preservation,i.e. internalized dhimmitude, learned in an Islamic environment, or because some appear to believe that their "Arab" identity makes them, willy-nilly, defenders and promoters of Islam, as if they cannot quite bring themselves, as self-defined "Arabs," to reject Islam altogether (just as celebrated "secularists" such as Nasser and Saddam Hussein in the end reverted to Islalmic rhetoric and Islamic beliefs). But there ought to be enough translators among Maronites, Copts, Berbers, and Arabic-speaking Jews, so that the absurd and suicidal reliance on Muslim interpreters and translators (as far as one knows, the U.S. government is far from possessing an infallible taqiyya or kitman-detecting machine, and "war is deception," as Muhammad says in one hadith, is taken to heart by Muslims including most of the "moderates" now busily misinforming millions of unwary Infidels. The U.S. government really has to grow up, and if this means wholesale replacement of naive or trusting personnel with other Americans, far more inured to the deceptions that are second nature to Jihadis, and indifferent to offending Muslm sensibilities in order to protect what is, after all, our non-Muslim polity, so be it.

President Bush is a devout Christian, and as such, projects onto Islam attitudes which he derives from his own somewhat more congenial religious experience. In his faulty view, the "real" Islam espouses the principle of "Do unto others that which you would have them do unto you," and uses persuasion, not force, to gain adherents.

Islam is using clever stealth tactic by disguising itself as a religion and its war manual as a sacred text. By this means, it gains a certain "untouchability" by the West. For Bush and the rest of us to fall for that ploy is foolish. Little Red Riding Hood didn't fare well by failing to see the danger under the disguise, and neither will civilization.

Bush must somehow "get real," take off his rose-colored glasses, and deal with Islam for what it really is, a movement no less bent on conquest by any and all means than Fascism or Communism were. He must confront it in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief, not as a religious comrade who is disappointed with the "hijacking" of a "religion" by bad people.

It is not sufficient to control dangerous administrative areas, such as Iraq, that have Muslim populations. The very nature of Islam must change; its fundamentally flawed ethics and epistemology serve Muslims very poorly any time, but especially now, in the 21st century.

Islam, in its present form, has no future. Unfortunately, it is dragging millions of otherwise happy, productive, intelligent people along with it into the abyss.
