In life you either condone something or you condemn it! Life in true reality offers no grey area. When you see criminal activity, you either accept that type of behavior or you reject it! Unless of course you are mentally unstable, but this being the only exception to black and white issues whereas this blog is concerned. So; what is your point? The silence of the Muslim majority is causing concern among many. Do the Muslims condone the terrorist actions of their people, or do they condemn it?
Why is there a seeming silence among the Muslims in the U.S.A? Are they just trying to duck under the radar? Or are they waiting for their opportunity to rise up against America too? Americans needs an answer on their position concerning the Islamic terrorists, and; the sooner the better. Personally, I do not have a lot of faith in Islam converting to America’s system of things any time soon. I have yet to seen them converting to America’s religious system en masse! I have yet to see American flag waving Muslims en masse, have you? No; and I don’t believe you will either any time soon!
The Muslim people are guests in this great country. It certainly would behoove them to realize their tenuous position. Remember the Japanese during WW2 that were living in America? They were rounded up and placed in interment camps. Everything was taken away, and they became suspected enemies! Are the Muslims any different? No, and unless they declare their position on the activities of their fellow countrymen, the same situation awaits them also! Many Americans are just not happy with a potential threat to their countries security. True Americans want to feel safe in this country; they do not want to live under an umbrella of fear and possible terrorists attacks.
In the book Militant Islam Reaches America Daniel Pipes reveals how there is no common ground whatsoever between Islamism and American freedom. “Islamists have absolutely no interest in preserving the essentials of American democracy. Their main objective is to dismantle the U.S. Constitution and to replace it with Sharia law.”
What will be eventually unveiled concerning that deafening silence that is obvious in America’s Muslim community? How will that silence be answered? I will revert to a Biblical passage for the answer to these questions.
“And it shall come to pass, that as the chased roe, and as sheep that no man gathers, they shall turn every man to his own people, and shall flee every man to his own land. Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is taken shall fall by the sword.” Isaiah 13:14-15 ASV
Americans for the most part are a very tolerant people. But that tolerance can be tested to the breaking point, and Americans will react accordingly. They will defend their land and they will defend their people. So beware Islam, America can turn against you as quickly as it opened the doors before you!
