“We’re talking about global jihadists, and their desire is to destroy us and to destroy our way of life….our goal is not to contain them but to destroy them before they destroy us.” Why is it so rare to hear presidential candidates make such simple, obvious and commonsensical statements?
“Carson on ISIS: ‘Destroy Their Caliphate,’” by Jordan Schachtel, Breitbart, November 10, 2015 (thanks to Bulldog):
…Carson was asked by Fox Business host and debate moderator Maria Bartiromo if he supports President Obama’s recent initiative to place 50 special ops forces in Syria, and leave 10,000 U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.
“Well, putting the special ops people in there is better than not having them there because they — that’s why they’re called special ops, they’re actually able to guide some of the other things that we’re doing there, and what we have to recognize is that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin is trying to really spread his influence throughout the Middle East,” Carson responded….
“You know the Chinese are there as well as the Russians, and you have all kinds of factions there. What we’ve been doing so far is very ineffective.”…
“But we can’t give up ground right there. We have to look at this on a much more global scale,” Carson said. “We’re talking about global jihadists, and their desire is to destroy us and to destroy our way of life.”…
“So we have to be saying, ‘How do we make them look like losers,’ that’s the way they’re able to gather a lot of influence, and I think in order to make them look like losers, we have to destroy their caliphate,” he stated.
“And you look for the easiest place to do that, it would be in Iraq. Outside of anbar in Iraq there’s a big energy field. Take that from them, take all of that land from them, we could do that, I believe, fairly easily, I’ve learned from talking to several generals, and you move on from there, but you have to continue to face them, because our goal is not to contain them but to destroy them before they destroy us,” Carson concluded.

Truth says
Clear thinking, but does the USA have to do it alone? What about other wealthy nations helping……Britain, France, China, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Canada?
Angemon says

Precisely. A global coalition to deal with a global problem.
mach37 says
If the American leader would say what Dr. Carson is saying, and act on his words, the rest of the free world would very likely come on board with us. I believe they are only holding back because of the lack of a strong leader.

Angemon – I know: Let’s get the UN to organize it! (sarc off)Cheers! qr
Peggy says
The problem is that the US doesn’t want to do it al all.
They are aiding ISIS not trying to destroy them. By not supporting Assad they are supporting ISIS.
Russia is already in there trying to get rid of ISIS so why not join them?
SoCalMike says
Obama and HIllary literally created them with their invasion of Libya.
Or at least gave them the critical mass needed to overrun our former allies in Iraq.
Carolyne says
Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama created ISIS by pushing the “Arab Spring,” which destabilized the Middle East and handed Libya over to jihadis. Egypt, too, was given to the Muslim Brotherhood, but El Sissi and the Egyptian army took it back. Then Clinton and Obama cut off all aid to Egypt. Obama did it because he is a Muslim doing his best to create a Grand Caliphate and Clinton did it for money going to the Clinton Foundation.
Kadify was murdered in a most horrendous way. I resent my country being involved in such barbarity.
dumbledoresarmy says
Don’t forget India. The current PM has Islam’s number; and he is making some seriously friendly moves toward Israel.
If India can de-dhimmi itself, and the USA can – per miraculum – de-dhimmi itself, disengage from its very unhealthy battered-wife Dhimmi-like relationships with the Abominable House of Saud, assorted other Gulf states, Turkey (Turkey should be kicked out of NATO), Indonesia and ghastly Islamic Pakistan, and *reorient* big time towards India, things could start looking a bit more hopeful for the Camp of the Infidels, pretty damn quick.
Jack says
Pakistan is the shit stirrer, in this whole situation, neuk the bastards.
Raja says
dumbledoresarmy
Great post peppered with words of wisdom,
Some more info on the present PM of India:
This PM belongs to BJP , a Hindu nationalist party. BJP was instrumental in restoring consular ties with Israel in the previous regime of 1999-2004 The evil Indian Congress party is akin to Democratic party of US. This PM is very clear headed about Islam He once declined to wear a skull cap of Muslims in full public view (though he is in public life)
BJP is an avid admirer of Israel, as it is surrounded by hostile Muslim neighbors.India understands Israel more than any other nation as it faces constant hostility from Pakistan in the name of Islam.
voegelinian says
“This PM belongs to BJP , a Hindu nationalist party.”
Stop the train! I had no idea! A prime minister of a major country belonging to the BJP would be analogous to a future Prime Minister of England being a member of the EDL, or of Netherlands being a member of Vlaams Belang, or of Italy being a member of the Northern League. It’s quite remarkable.
Jae M says
Yes, this problem is like revisiting WW2 and taking down the Nazis. These guys are like Nazis with a hatred not only for Jewish people but every single person that does not believe exactly what they do.Yet only a few leaders have the balls to speak clearly on this.
voegelinian says
Yes, the Nazi analogy and the argumentum ad Hitlerem are all appropriate here; but the PC MC Mainstream is focused on the hundreds of millions of Muslims Who Just Wanna Have a Sandwich and Put Food on the Table for their Kids, etc. etc. With that perspective foremost in their minds, they logically (but irrationally) wring their hands over the slippery slope to rounding up, putting in camps, and genociding all those Ethnic People whose perpetual welfare is our Wilsonian White Man’s Burden (cue Colonel Bogey’s March whistling…)
Jack Holan says
I know he’s done his homework and talked to the right Generals. He understands how dire and essential it is to destroy the Jihadists. Dr Carson appears to understand the broader situation.
Don McKellar says
America only has one hope in the upcoming election to turn this sinking ship — that’s been piloted by politically correct fools, left-facists and stealth jihadists — around. His name is Carson.
Jeremiah says
Carson is the answer because he embodies the values of our founding fathers.
It has been said that Carson cannot be the President because he does not compromise the truth. Politicians are expected to know how to manipulate the truth to find the lesser of two evils. That is how far we have slipped. We try to elect somebody who can be trusted to tell fewer lies than the alternative when we should have no alternative to the truth.
We need to be more demanding of our politicians. More of them need to serve some time in jail for dishonesty and corruption. Then respect for politicians can return.
Carolyne says
I like Dr. Carson and think he is a man of great integrity and a talented surgeon. However, he believes the earth is only 5,000 years old and that the pyramids were built to store grain. The pyramids are solid and the earth is billions of years old. A person with these beliefs cannot effectively lead a modern country.
Peggy says
Yes he can. He would do a much better job that the Muslim in the WH.
It’s not as though he would order schools to teach this. He would probably just stop schools from brainwashing our kids with Islam.
His personal beliefs don’t have to impact on the rest of the country.
voegelinian says
ISIS is not the “broader situation”. It is the microcosm. The broader situation is Islam, and its 1.3 billion Muslims.
christianblood says
Carson is right. Destroy their caliphate but don’t just stop there because the source of the problem is not their caliphate but islam itself. So after you have completely destroyed their caliphate then give the muslim world two simple choices: Reform your cult of death now or be segregated from the rest of humanity.
Daniel Triplett says
Islam will never be reformed. Not in 10 years or 10,000 years.
Have you seen any reformation whatsoever in the last 1400 years? No.
Muslims believe the Quran to be the literal word of their deity. No one gets to debate Allah.
To reform Islam would deny the initial “perfection” of Allah’s word and Muhammad (the perfect man).
Muslims suggesting such reformation are guilty of Blasphemy, and are promptly executed.
Islam can only be criminalized.
Islam is Sedition and Conspiracy to Murder, among many other crimes. Just because a 7th century psychopath calls it a “religion” doesn’t mean we must regard it as such.
Let’s call Islam what it really is: Capital Felony. Execute adherents practicing or promoting it.
That’s the problem with Carson’s argument: ISIS isn’t the problem. Iran isn’t the problem. Islam is the problem, and unless we extinguish it, the problem is never going away.
Angemon says
Yeah, pretty much – as far as devout muslims are concerned, ISIS’s successes are evidence that they’re pleasing allah and getting their just rewards.
christianblood says
The problem of islam is not isis or the hundreds of other Islamic terrorist groups around the globe and even you destroy isis dozens of others will spring up somewhere and take up different names. So the best way to deal with this evil is after destroying the isis caliphate, the world has to demand an immediate reformation of islam because the real source of the problem is islam and it has to be reformed or we are just dealing with the symptoms, not the real disease where the symptoms are emanating from.
Wellington says
Islam cannot be reformed since it is the one major religion which is totalitarian and there is no reforming a totalitarian ideology. Might as well try and reform Marxism or Nazism. The spiritual fascism which is Islam to the core of its being can only be discarded, not reformed. If you cut out all the rot in Islam, there wouldn’t be all that much left and whatever would be left could be found in other religions, so what’s the point of doing so? The real first step in dealing with Islam is NOT to encourage its reformation, which can’t happen, but rather to point out that it is iniquitous. Then you go from there.
Edward says
Wellington said:
“Islam cannot be reformed since it is the one major religion which is totalitarian and there is no reforming a totalitarian ideology.”
Well said!
Islam should be zeroed out……..,.should be voided out of commission just like a mathematical equation
Christianblood says
If it cannot be reformed then it has to be banned as a dangerous and deadly cult which will lead to destruction, bloodshed and wars.
Peggy says
Muslims will never accept any negativity about Islam. They have proved it over and over so thinking that they will see the light is not reality.
Islam was spread by force. These people were not Muslim in the beginning so the only way to change anything is to force another religion onto them. They can choose which one they want to take but they should be forced to take one.
Just like when Islam was forced on them, they adjusted and the following generations took to it they will do it again. Then we have some hope of educating them and bringing them into the 21st century.
Wellington says
Islam doesn’t have to be banned, Christianblood, anymore than does Marxism and Nazism. It “only” has to be properly identified for what it is. The rest will then follow as a matter of course.
Not there yet. Damn shame we’re not there yet. ’bout time we are.
For liberty to sustain itself and prosper you can’t go around banning freedom-crushing ideologies, which Islam surely is. Doing so only feeds the beast.
Rather, proper identification of the beast is in order. All those, every last one of them, demanding that Islam be banned don’t get this. Time they get this——-like you.
SoCalMike says
Christianblood,
In my youth I would probably have disagreed with you but on my 52nd birthday I am forced to agree.
Your detractors on this thread are youthful and naive.
I know because I used to be one of them long ago in my youth.
SCM
Dacritic says
I agree too. Here’s why.
Qur’an 6:114—Shall I seek for a judge other than Allah, when He it is Who has sent down to you the Book fully explained?
Qur’an 11:1—This is a Book, whose verses have been made firm and free from imperfection and then they have been expounded in detail.
Qur’an 12:1—These are verses of the clear Book.
Qur’an 16:89—And We have sent down to thee the Book explaining all things . . .
Qur’an 24:46—Certainly We have revealed clear communications, and Allah guides whom He pleases to the right way.
Qur’an 27:1—These are verses of the Qur’an—a book that makes (things) clear.
Qur’an 41:3—A Book, whereof the verses are explained in detail . . .
Qur’an 57:9—He it is who sends down clear communications upon His servant, that he may bring you forth from utter darkness into light.
Quran 3:7 – “He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: in it are verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of the Book: others are not of well-established meaning. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is not of well-established meaning (all emphasis mine). Seeking discord, and searching for its hidden meaning, but no one knows its true meanings except Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say: “We believe in the Book; the whole of it is from our Lord:” and none will grasp the Message except men of understanding.”
Reform Islam? Allah already told you no.
christianblood says
Good point! There are miilions of muslims who immigrated to the West in the past few years. Imagine if the western world requires/demands that every muslim who is coming to the West and their families should convert to Christianity?
Ex-muslim says
To: Christianblood
I think you did not stay in the West long enough to understand the status of Christianity in the Western world today. In the Western world today, most people abandoned Christianity and the Christians left in the Western world are very small minority who are themselves scared and very weak. Just a few days ago, the Protestant State church in Germany told the few Christians in Germany who are trying to evangelize muslims to stop their evangelism and not to evangelize muslims coming to Germany at all. You can read the whole story on the link below. In the Western world today, there is a new man-made religion known as (liberal humanism) and most Westerners hate and despise traditional Christianity and its moral principals. Read the German story below:
http://www.patheos.com/blogs/geneveith/2015/11/state-church-says-not-to-evangelize-muslims/
eduardo odraude says
Unlike in some other religions (such as Christianity), in Islam, success in this world is generally supposed to be a sign that you are following the religion. So it is important to make the jihadists fail, but it probably won’t change many Muslims into non-Muslims.
Peggy says
Take away their choice again just like it was taken away 1400 years ago. Islam was forced on them and they adjusted. Time to force something else on them and they will adjust again.
Jaladhi says
Just on this point alone, he should be elected President!!
Katnis says
Wow. I’m so impressed by his thinking. He’s finally saying what so many of us are thinking. Carson is winning my respect.
dumbledoresarmy says
Write to him. Let him know. Explain exactly why.
Donate to his campaign!
Ask him whether he has read Sam Solomon’s “Al Hijra: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration”.
Ask him whether he has read Raymond Ibrahim on the subject of Deception in Islam – Ibrahim’s classic articles on this topic should be required reading for all Infidel-country politicians, journalists, generals, law-enforcement officers, judiciary, diplomats and religious leaders. Because once one *gets* the extent and ubiquity of deception as practised by the Ummah when dealing with Infidels, *extreme* caution seems to be the most sensible course of action.
Here’s one article by Ibrahim.

awake says
Just what we need, another tar-baby in the M.E. I could take him a bit more seriously if he addressed the huge problem of Muslim immigration to the U.S. and the West in general, and called for a moratorium on it. Maybe acknowledge the fact that many if not most mosques in the U.S. are festering political sedition against the U.S. government and that ISIS is already in our backyard. He could state that he would push for a federal law that would require the monitoring of mosques, and the razing of those mosques who do not acquiesce.
No, instead, we get a call to destroy the caliphate, as if ISIS will simply evaporate into thin air if he is killed. Nonsense. All these jihadist factions are all chock-full-of Muslims, endlessly replenishable, from the ever-breeding pool of Muslims worldwide.
You cannot defeat an ideology. You can only forbid the practice that ideology or sequester or kill those who follow that ideology. Does Carson, the U.S.,or anyone for that matter, have the will to do what it may take to achieve his goal?
christianblood says
Well-said!
PRCS says
“You cannot defeat an ideology. You can only forbid the practice that ideology or sequester or kill those who follow that ideology.”
Correct.
The ideology is what it is, and there’s no way to stop people from believing whatever they want to.
The American public needs to be reminded that the 1st Amendment does NOT permit religious practices which conflict with U.S. laws.
Any Muslim who can read knows that Qur’an 5:38 commands the amputation of a thief’s hand and they can believe that’s what should be done.
But that’s as far as their “religious” beliefs go, here.
Muslims in the West also need to be asked–pointedly–where on the planet such barbarities are morally acceptable to them.
It’s really not good enough for them to say “not here, but it’s the right thing to do in _________________.
Country Name Here
Westerner’s need to know if the Muslim next door might actually do such things–anywhere.
Sam says
At least one political figure is telling the truth (almost). We need to help him. He still can not say that we need to eliminate Islam. Maybe we should use some TAKIYA ? for our Muslim friends?
abad says
Either Trump or Carson will be elected President (most likely Trump).
Now.
It is time the United States of America is run like a business – and when you run a business you sometimes have to clean house.
IMHO with one man as President and the other as Vice-President they would make a formidable team in wiping out the Caliphate, closing mosques, deporting illegal Muslims, deporting Muslims found suspect of terrorism.
The United States of America has a moral obligation to put Islam in its place; yes, it will take drastic measures but sometimes drastic measures are required when the civilized world is at war with Islam.
Peggy says
If they were to run the US like a business then Islam would become even stronger.
Most of the money is coming from Islam that’s why we have this mess now.
K. says
Sounds good, yet I doubt it has yet dawned on him that in order to achieve that, one must annihilate the evil entirely and with its roots, which is the the core of Islamic ideology.
Edward says
Uprooting the Muslim’s world theological concept of Islam’s creation account could help tempering their warring propensities as a start. The Quran’s passages say nothing about loving your humankind. Their creation version is the total opposite of the account written in the Book of Genesis 1:1-2. Direct debate with the Muslim’s would not change their mindset, but the passage in the NT might be helpful.
———————————————-
‘Vengeance is mine’– Romans 12:17-21
“17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”says the Lord. 20 On the contrary: “If your enemy is hungry, feed him;if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. “The passage about coals is about the emotional discomfort an enemy will feel when you waken his conscience about his conduct toward you.”

This Muslim’s website gives us a view of their creation account of which hints their evil innate birth behaviors: where human LOVE is not espoused at all!
http://muslimmatters.org/2012/02/03/the-creation-of-man-as-mentioned-in-the-quran/
Further exacerbating their humanity standing is their rejection of Christianity’s concept of His humankind creation receiving God’s gift; His Image upon our conception.
http://www.iqrasense.com/allah/islamic-viewpoint-on-god-made-man-in-his-own-image.html
“Islam does not agree with this statement. Allah, God, has attributes which belong to Him alone, such as His being the Creator, the Provider, the One God, etc. These are characteristics which a created being cannot acquire.”——-[ ]
The Catholic theologian, St. Augustine’s assertion that the human mind was the location of humanity, and thus the location of the “Image of God” where the love attributes resides.
K. says
It is not vengeance. It is self-preservation.
Edward says
K. said: “It is not vengeance. It is self-preservation”
Yes, we have the natural birthright for our ‘self-preservation’ when facing a foe, but in the case of our present situation with Islam’s determination to dominate and convert many countries we are now facing a nemesis that to harder to neutralize of its endeavors, for it is propagating Islam’s tenets, that is known to be evil in its intent. This type of enemy could be said to be spiritual in nature. So, our Creator’s intercession would be the best choice to preserve us from total demise.
Roman’s 12: 17-19 “Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.
Jeremiah says
Islam is perpetuated by raping women and all other forms of terror. When turning a cheek, that does not mean your friend’s cheek, your wife’s cheek or your child’s cheek. We still have a responsibility to protect our loved ones and to protect God’s people. This is not revenge. We are not robbing them. We are not even withdrawing our love. We are just eliminating evil dispassionately. There will be no dancing on roof tops.
First we take down the mosques and see who comes after us. Those we kill because they have lost their souls. We bury them with dignity and move on. Never again shall our children be educated the filth that is now fed to them in the education system. We made a mistake. Let us learn from it. Let us make our nation strong again.
Thomas Hennigan says
Putin may not be a nice guy for many folks, but we must remember that “the enemy of your enemy is my friend”. It seems that at least in part he is trying to hit the ISIS folk hard. Russia has a serious jihadi problem and instead of continuing with the old Cold War policies, an alliance also including Russia is very important for the struggle against global jihad. After all, surely there is an abyss between Stalin and Putin. Ameirica was allied with Stalin in World War II. Why not with present day Russia against global jihad.
Roger says
Agreed. Sending 50 US special forces into syria without telling tge Russians where they are will on impede Russia’s annihilation of ISIS.
But, we are only in Syria to counter Russian hegemony in the Middle East.
Hence the fact that so far Russia has lost one naval base in Libya in which the West overthrew Gaddafi. Russia almost lost their Black Sea port in the Crimea in the Ukranian civil war, which the West funded. And now we are trying to overthrow Assad, another key Russian ally.
If only we could ally with Russia rather than play the “Grand Chess Board”.
Raja says
Thomas,
Wise words..
Daniel Triplett says
You are so right.
As Clint Eastwood (Blondie) said in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly:
“There are two kinds of people in this World. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig.”
The people in the World with nukes have the loaded guns, and (can) force their demands on the Muslim World [those who dig].
America must ally with Israel, UK, France, India, China, and Russia. Together, we can force the World to criminalize Islam. None of us can do it alone. We must all be in it together.
To bust up the Russo-Iranian marriage, we let Putin annex Iran and its oil for Russia, in exchange for his help in the destruction of Islam and the Iranian leadership. I estimate his ambition to expand his motherland’s empire with the addition of the strategic Persian Gulf warm water access, oil rich territory of Iran exceeds any superficial loyalty he may feel toward the Ayatollah. If we hand him the incentive and the knife, he’ll plunge it into Khamenei’s back.
He doesn’t like Muslims any more than we do. Much better for Russia to control Iran rather than crazy Muslims trying to kill all of us.
We should let Al-Asaad hold his power and territory on the condition he criminalizes Islam and severs ties with Iran. Al-Asaad and King Abdullah II aren’t your typical devout Muslim thugs. They’re both Westernized with Western wives and education. Their desire for wealth and power exceeds their loyalty to Allah, and I’m guessing they’d peacefully get on board with the Post-Islamic World program, versus getting nuked out of power and losing it all. Those two in particular may also be able to help persuade other Muslim heads of state to join the New World peacefully as well.
For greater detail of my proposed strategy, click here. In my Worldview and war experience, this is the ONLY solution:
“Total War: Extinguishing Islam from Earth” @dantriplett
https://medium.com/@dantriplett/islamic-jihad-is-total-war-for-all-marbles-6c858098b76e
John says
The only way for the evils of Islam to be defeated is for the world to declare outright war against it and all its adherents. That’s what groups like ISIS want us to do and we should deliver them the deaths they desire. Sadly this will likley never happen because of oil and libtards who who beleive Islam is just peachy.
Daniel Triplett says
Agreed. This is Total War, for all the marbles. This will not end peacefully.
Cunamarra says
Carson has proven to be a forthright and honest person in all of this. Unfortunately, and I hope he and the rest of us can eventually do it, our culture must be improved before we could be successful. There is a very powerful segment of the US and Western populace that sympathize with our enemies who reject the notions of Individual Rights of Life, Property, Liberty, and Equality Before the Law. We have to resurrect the love for these Rights and the robust understanding that we protect them through force of arms but more importantly on an intellectual premise once again.

What’s this? Common sense? Logic? He can’t be president! He goes against everything the office stands for!

Daniel Triplett says
Thanks for sharing this Larry.
Anyone serious about solving and publicly articulating solutions to the Islamic threat confronting us really needs to read this first. Particularly those people who consider the use of nuclear weapons “immoral and unnecessary.”
This will change your perspective on warfare and winning wars.
Jeremiah says
Why are we waiting if this is so obvious? In Iraq we can block all roads from the air. We can support a district by district clean up of ISIS and any other armed faction. We can move the Christians to safe areas and get out. In Iran we can destroy all nuclear facilities for less than 150 billion dollars.
At home we can confiscate all donations from Islamic countries and take over the properties that were funded by Islam. Then close the mosques, inspect them and destroy them. At this point our enemies will reveal themselves more clearly and we can do something about it.
People who burn our Flag, destroy our Constitution, cannot sing the National Anthem and who do not think we are One Nation Under God, should clear out. They are not Americans. But let us unite with all those who wave the Flag, honor our fallen and who can say the Pledge of Allegiance with pride. They are all on our side whether they are black or white.
If we have any courage, let us see who our friends are and rebuild this nation.
Carolyne says
We have courage, but we have a Muslim president.
Daniel Triplett says
Yes, that’s the problem.
Now more than ever, we need a Christian POTUS whose worn our country’s uniform in war. The CINC needs to have experience commanding others in combat.
rolf wittwer says
Islam never is ready, to step back just one inch from its stoneage terrorideology and aim, to conquer the planet at any cost.
All the Millions of brainwashed Muslims should be rebrainwashed by our values and civilized way of life.
Therefore it might and should be possible, to incite doubts and questions about Islam in their countries.
The West should use its power, to enlighten all those middleaged and poor minded people.
All Madrasses etc. should be closed, the young people should be teached about the terrible wrongdoing and -learnig as it is given in the man-made-killing manual named as “Quran”.
Is there any Islamic Country in which freedom of speech and individual lifestyle is guaranteed?

Criticizing them for their teaching and practicing bestiality and necrophilia sex. The act of plagiarizing the Holy Scriptures……thus the desecration of the entire holy texts …..desecration of holy sites and much more!
Deuteronomy 32:35 it is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them.”

(: agreed. if they are using our democracy and liberal human rights against us, why not actually use it ourselves. Don’t know why this is not happening so much, or perhaps it is but I’m not coming across it…or maybe we are just too angry at the moment to actually use our democracy, law ect for our own bennifits. They certainly have it figured out, why is it taking us so long to do so. recently I came across an artical where someone mentions that Muslims are anti-western….today is the second time only that I came across an artical that was titled with the word anti-Christian. There would be others like anti-white, anti-human rights, anti-Integration, assilmilation, so on and so on. Protest like they do….Anti-Chritianism is a SIN! Anti-Animal Rights is a Crime! Eventually, Anti-White Neighbourhoods Are Racist….It’s worked for them quite well no? You have to question why? It may also bypass some legal loopholes some societies like UK and Germany have set up to protect this loud minority, who obviously know how to use the system. I also noticed how they support one another by protesting all over the world about something that happened in some far distant country to a Muslim or Their religion has been mocked. This is pure genius. This is solidarity. How grand would you feel to have your communi support you from all corners of the world. Europe must do this, has to do this. Europe must protest for Germany. To oust Merkel out for keeping the flood gates open, or what ever else may curb the damage. Europe must protest for Switzerland. Europe must protest for The Balkans trying to manage the flow. Europe must protest for one another to show solidarity, not for government but for each other.
Jeremiah says
Those are good words. It is a good plan. When are you going to Iran for your meeting with the Ayatollah?
Daniel Triplett says
@mortimer
I disagree.
Robert Spencer has Caliph-level knowledge of Islam. Robert, Pamela Geller, and David Wood are my Go-to authorities to learn the truth about Islam.
Robert has spent over a decade spending all of his time trying to spread the word.
How many Muslims do you think he’s convinced to apostatize? I can’t speak for him, but I can tell you how many Muslims I have seen come on his website to thank him for his wisdom, and declare their Apostasy: ZERO.
Notwithstanding the goldmine of thousands of essays, published articles, and books he’s written, easily available for all to see here, along with thousands of speaking engagements, every Muslim I’ve seen on this site comes on here to defend Islam, either with Taqiyya, or with open threats to saw of our heads, rape our women, and take over the World.
So if Robert can’t reason with these demonic souls, apostatizing them, and convert them to sanity, what makes you think you, I, or anyone else can do any better?
If stopping the jihad is simply a matter of showing Muslims our values and way of life, then all the hijrah Muslims already living in the West would just look around at us and say, “Good Lord, what was I thinking? I’ve been wrong all along. The West is right. Islam is evil. I’ll apostatize immediately.”
Just look at video reels and read about the Muslim hijrah/jihad in progress in Europe right now to see how well that theory is working out.
Or ask the people in Garland, or the woman in Oklahoma City with her head sawed off, or the Boston Marathon witnesses, or Americans who remember 9/11, and on and on and on…
This problem had reached Biblical proportions, and will ONLY be solved with violence on an unprecedented scale.
Daniel Triplett says
Exactly. Totally agree with you Dave.
mortimer says
Wellington is correct: “Islam “only” has to be properly identified for what it is. The rest will then follow as a matter of course.”
His main point is that almost no Western politicians have ‘identified’ Islam as the THEOCRATIC FASCISM it truly is.
Western politicians must identify that Islam is ‘iniquitous’ and ‘rotten to the core’ just as Ronald Reagan courageously identified the USSR as ‘an Evil Empire’.
Islam is an evil, malignant THEOCRATIC FASCISM.
Daniel Triplett says
So do you really believe Ben Carson can take power, then “explain” the fallacy of Islam to 1.6 Billion Muslims, peacefully convincing them to apostatize?
Do you think Carson or any other President can teach them the error of their faith and ways peacefully, without any military force, after which ISIS will lay down their arms, ceasing their genocide?
Do you think if Robert Spencer or David Wood were POTUS, they could peacefully convince the Ayatollah he’s been wrong all along with his theocratic fasicm, causing him to dismantle his nuclear weapons program, stop leading Death to America and Israel rallies, and replace his theocratic power with a benign secular model of governance?
SoCalMike says
Carson is right.
I would take it a step further and soak the bodies of the jihadis in pig’s blood.
But be prepared to fight the domestic American Left who are the best friends of the jihadis we have starting with BHO, Hillary and Hanoi John Kerry.
Mathew Solo says
A quick glimpse at what Is In the Christian Bible:
Gen. 1:1-2 verse one starts by saying in the beginning God Created The Heavens and The Earth (when that beginning was God does not say…Our Science has estimated this to be 13.8 Billion Years ago)…verse two says The Earth was Without Form and Void (In Chaos or Disorder) God did not make it that way (remember Chapter One) while he was bringing about a particular step in creating what He wanted for the Earth then…that after each step He Saw That it Was Good (He had saw to it…it was right and working and certainly the way He intended it to be)…What happened between verse one and verse two…What caused God to see it as a mess something had taken place…maybe for quite some time.
If You read in Isaiah 14:12-17 this should point to a glimpse…then in Ezekiel 28:11-19…were there Beings Here long before Us…did they have a leader (a Governor)…was there a rebellion…did This Leader of Those Beings Lead Them in a Rebellion against the One who put them here…Luke 10:18…Then he said to them “I saw Satan fall like lightning from Heaven”.
So Man was Made in God’s Image…after His Likeness…After His Kind…The God Kind…was that Being who rebelled and failed miserably…was He present when the first Man after God’s Kind opened his eyes For the first time…Did This Adversary of The Great God and this Man look each other in the eyes…was this Being Happy for God and The Man standing here before him…did He like it when God told the Man Be fruitful and Multiply Fill The Earth and Subdue it…have Dominion Over Every Thing That Moves on The Earth…This Being could not Multiply…and He had Massively failed at dominion (Rule Over) the earth…He was ordered to wait here on this Earth where he had been…He watched man choose a knowledge of good and evil…which He advised Man to do and knowing God Had Told Man not to do this…He implied that God was withholding something…when God was warning Man He Could Not Handle Teaching Himself…Without God’s Help…Now Man would be Subject to His Influence…this Adversary influenced the very first murder of man…God Warned Cain if You do well you will be accepted…and if You do not do well…Sin lies at the door…And its desire is for you…but You should rule over It (sin)…Cain did what the adversary advised he Murdered His Brother…Cain’s offspring are all gone with the flood…The rest of Us Come from Seth through Righteous Noah…But this did not change Man’s Inability to choose between Good and Evil…so began the time given to Man to learn He Can Not Teach Himself…Without God’s Help.
There is a spirit in Man…this enables Man’s Brain to function as a Mind…it also makes a perfect receiver for the Adversary to communicate His Thoughts which He Can broadcast through the air into that receiver…if we entertain those thoughts we think like he does…with Man it is impossible…with God All Things Are Possible…Satan is a Very Powerful Spirit Being…But He Is Not THE ALMIGHTY GOD Who Created Him and Restrains Him Even Now…He is also known as The Destroyer…Humans Can Not Imagine the rage He has for them…They Have the Potential To Be In The Very Family Of GOD…God too can communicate with Man through the spirit in Man…A Man God Named Abraham showed such willingness to obey God He is called by God His Good Friend…His descendants through Isaac and then Jacob…Jacobs name was changed by God to Israel…A People who were to play a part…yet unable to be The shining example God offered them a chance to be…(this was the entire house of Israel…of which Judah was just one tribe…Judah was just one of Israel’s 12 Sons)…Where is all Modern Israel today…Which Countries have they become…approximately one billion on this planet somewhere…who are they.
The wages of sin (breaking God’s Spiritual Law) is death…all humans who will have ever lived could not pay for one single sin…this Meant a perfect real flesh and blood Man had to be found…none would be…of course God knew this before man began…all part of a perfect master plan…nothing or no one could stop…so one of the very members of the God family (the One Called The Word (spokesman) emptied Himself and became this flesh and blood human…who would be willing and obedient…who defeated Satan by Every word of God…and died sinless so man could pray to God and be helped to learn what the very foundation of Knowledge is and practice it…Christ will join his mind with those that are willing and obedient…Christ has All Things placed under His Authority…He knows what it means to be Human…though He Now Is Very Much God in full strength.
Open a New King James Version of The Bible…It will Make Your reading easier…Read These Things for Yourself…let the Bible interpret itself…line upon line… precept upon precept..here a little there a little…It takes careful reading of it in its entirety…rightly aligning the lines…precepts…and subject related facts…keeping in mind…God Says What He Means…and…God Means What He Says…He will help…You will not be alone…there are others…these are the reason the Great Tribulation which is coming will be shortened…they pray always for God’s perfect will to be done and his Kingdom to Come…The Mighty King of Kings in this Kingdom is Jesus Christ…He will soon arrive and remove Satan’s and Man’s Sway over everything and restore all tings to where they should be…the earth can finally rest… but things get really bad just before Christ does return.
dumbledoresarmy says
Above, I posted a comment containing links for a set of useful Raymond Ibrahim articles on the subject of Islamic deception, proposing that those articles be sent to Dr Carson. (They should also be sent to Trump).
For good measure, if you’re American, send them to your State Governors, elected representative (State), Senator and (Federal) Congressman or woman.
If you go to the Barnabas Fund website, you can poke around and find their ‘resources’ section, where you can, among other things, buy their useful booklet “What is Shari’a?”. Buy a sackful.
Send to Trump and Carson and to every other politician you can think of. Even if many or most won’t read it, *some will*. And it’s a sober, accurate, clear and simple ‘background briefing’ that makes it abundantly clear just how horrible sharia is and how egregiously it violates human rights.
Then there are three more articles that, together, and in combination with Ibrahim’s discussion of Islamic deception, make the nature of Global Jihad crystal clear.
Jacques Ellul, his foreword on Jihad, written for “The Decline of Eastern Christianity Under Islam” (it appeared first in the French edition, 1991).
http://www.dhimmi.org/Foreword.html
Conor Cruise O’Brien, article written for the “Independent” in 1995 – “The Lesson of Algeria: Islam is Indivisible” (totally demolishes the pollyanna-sh notion that there is a ‘nice’ ‘ moderate’ Islam and a ‘nasty’ Islam and we only have to worry about the ‘nasty’ Islam which is not really Islamic).
http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/the-lesson-of-algeria-islam-is-indivisible-1566770.html
And a man named Patrick L Moore, who wrote a lucid and scholarly article entitled “From ‘Cold War’ to ‘Guerra Fria””, way back in 1994. The footnotes are an education in themselves.

Print *those* off and distribute freely – with a brief and polite covering letter – to every politician you can think of. Then, at the very least, they *cannot* say they did not know and were not warned.
In your covering letter, state that the attached articles, which you regard as true and accurate and based on sound scholarship and knowledge of the world, are the reason why you want Muslim immigration into your country halted, immediately, and a close watch kept upon every known mosque, and citizenship stripped from each and every Muslim from within your country who goes to Syria or any other similar hotspot to wage jihad.

If only Dr Carson had been elected first Black POTUS instead of the infiltrator Imam Obama the world would be a different and better place.

Albert,
So true…
mach37 says
As distasteful as it seems to us now, future historians will say that where the US went wrong was in helping to depose the dictatorial leaders in Iraq, Egypt, Libya and Syria, thus completely destabilizing the Middle East.
Now that bin Laden is out of Afghanistan, we would do well to simply leave that country to its fate with the Taliban. If they start exporting terrorism again, the Western countries should go in and wipe out tribalism by whatever means necessary. Primitive tribal cultures simply cannot be changed without a firm hand such as the US exerted over Japan at the end of WWII.

I wonder if Dr Carson reads JW,,If so,,,Hi Ben….
Quran 8:39 leas the way ahb the rest follow…
Reforming Islam…Reforming into what? What pious Mahoundiin is willing to face Allah on the lat day an say,,,’There were some things about your religion I thought needed reforinig…I hope you don’t mind…

We have received a God given gift, the faculties of our brain/minds by which we have successfully controlled disease and famine, the scourge of humanity.
Presently,the world is facing another calamity which is much worse than all natural disasters…….a manmade scourge of humanity…….the Muslim world’s Islam cult and their enabling allies, Liberalism…….which “by God” we have those faculties to control or eliminate entirely those that by unrighteous means makes us to stumble from adhering to our faiths and reaching our rightful goals.
JAS says
We must fight and defeat evil islam if the USA, human freedom and democracy are to survive. Just listen to their threats and believe them!…. but we will never do it until we have a legitimate leader who will accurately identify and name our enemy, but our Muslim Brotherhood president, Obama refuses to do it. In my book that makes him unqualified to be president of the USA. I am stunned and shocked that so many supposedly educated and patriotic Americans accept this weasel as president! He should have been impeached and removed years ago!
Daniel Triplett says
I don’t get it either. Especially all the Jews who support Obama.
I understand why the impoverished wanting free stuff would vote D, but what about all the wealthy educated people? Fools.
Mathew Solo says
Do we wait until it gets so frustrating that virtually Everyone begins to vote…in the U.S. about 60% of the voting eligible population votes during presidential election years…and about 40% votes during midterm elections…a popular multiple-million citizen movement would get these lawmaker’s attention…they would be all ears.
There are honest…dependable…effective…organizers…Just waiting for a cause…most free countries want to address this Aggressive Progressive Islam…Most Countries are Stupefied…Most Probably want some open forum to challenge this.
No Folks…We Can Not Be Such Open Societies…that We Can Not Defend Our Own Way of Life…Our Own People….Our Laws May Need To Be Changed.
But I am afraid …
This can just go on and it is moving so quickly…until provocations cause mayhem…
Because we let it go until social unrest is ignited…and no benefit in the results.
This can get worse.
JAS says
CARSON IS THE ONLY HOPE WE HAVE! OBAMA IS CLEARLY ON THE SIDE OF OUR ENEMY, AND WE DESPERATELY NEED TO IMPEACH, REMOVE AND JAIL HIM FOR TREASON! LOOK AT THE ISLAMIC HELL IN PARIS LAST NITE! THIS IS THE RULE, NOT AN EXCEPTION. THIS IS WHAT WE CAN EXPECT SOON IN AT LEAST ONE MAJOR US CITY, THANKS TO OBAMA AND HIS ABJECT SURRENDER TO DARK AGES ISLAM. IF HE CAN’T EVEN SAY ISLAMIC TERRORISM, HE SURE CAN’T FIGHT IT ! DUMP OBAMA AND DESTROY ISIS!
