If I Had the Time….. I’d Protest For Peace….. For Real

On Tuesday, July 17, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) will host a panel discussion at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., entitled “Attacking Islam: Implications for Social Cohesion and U.S. Relations with the Muslim World.”
The panel will address the increasing anti-Muslim rhetoric within the conservative movement in the United States, focusing on the negative impact of such views on religious tolerance in America and on relations with the Muslim world.
Seriously, after hearing about how people planned on protesting the funeral of fallen Iraq heroes and the reports from Putin’s visit to the US, I have to wonder why the peaceniks don’t protest the most violent people and the groups defending them.
Peace would be easy to achieve if those who use violence as a political tool would stop it. that’s Muslm extremists and the groups who defend their actions. Last time I checked, the US simply wanted a stable Iraq, it is Muslim extremists hell bent on holy war with the western cultures and the extinction of who use violence to achieve their political agenda.
Until the people who feel American military presence is reactionary to the violence of Muslims, and thus protest mosques and Muslim groups who provide cover and excuses for the behavior of the terrorists, and flat out refuse to condemn and deal with them, I give them no credit.
Until the Ellison pals at Impeach & Veterans for Peace protest bipartisanly, I think they should receive no merit. (If they really want to “wake people up” they should start with the people who use violence in civilian populations, IE the Muslim terrorists.) Sorry these are simply Bush hating America bashers, proof is in their selective objection to those who carry out violence civilian populations.
I hate the fact that we have to send troops to fight people, deal with crap at airports and in carrying out commerce and daily life, but until we deal with the real problem IE: a growing faction of Muslims who use violence and loss of life to score political points, (and our porous borders) we will never truly have peace hear or abroad.

Something just puzzles me, and maybe someone can give me the logic. OK, I understand why Al-Qaeda blows up our soldiers, Iraqi soldiers, and Iraqi civilians. They’re trying to push us out of Iraq so they can take over. It makes sense, if cold-blooded slaughter ever does. I also understand the train bombing in Spain– it actually worked to get Spain out of Iraq. But what are these bombings in England accomplishing? The Brits have already announced that they’re withdrawing. There is no earthly way that the Brits are going to surrender 1000 years of being British to a bunch of Islamist thugs. What are they accomplishing?

The London attacks do three things. They act as a recruiting rally, a PR event (we stuck it to the man, you can too). Second, they cause us to burn money and energy that could be put to more economically productive uses, lastly these attacks push the useful idiots to work even harder to understand “what we have done to make these people want to hurt us” and to push all that much faster down the road of appeasement.
Also, if successful these attacks can have a significant effect on financial markets. Think about their self-funding model. Mo blows up a bus, uncertainty rises, the price of oil goes up bringing more revenue to wealthy sheiks who fund the wahabi schools that produce more Mo’s that blow up more buses, and so on.
