In the wake of the recent murder in Ottawa, and in
response to discussion of that murder, I posted the text, below, on my Facebook
page last night.
Please don't post on my page recommendations for a
genocide of Muslims, expulsions of Muslims, and posts saying that Muslims are
not human, and are, instead, cancer or some other thing – some *thing* that is
not human.
1) Such posts recommend a sinful action. I am a Catholic
and a Christian and mass murder, forced expulsion and dehumanization are all
sinful and contrary to my belief system.
2) These posts are counter-productive. We are at war. War
requires clarity and truth. Bombastic, undisciplined, inflammatory comments
about mass murdering Muslim men, women, and children, rounding up innocent
civilians and expelling them, and talking about people as things, make the
situation we confront worse, not better.
"Let's kill all Muslims" misrepresents
counter-jihad. No, the choice is not between submitting to jihad and
"Let's kill all Muslims." Such posts give a false image of what it
means to resist jihad.
3) Recommendations of mass human rights abuses –
murdering and expelling innocent people – hurt, offend, and disturb me, while
serving no useful purpose. I'm sure they hurt, offend, and disturb other
Facebook friends who may stumble across them.
4) I don't want my Facebook page to be used to
disseminate ideas I find abhorrent and immoral.
My position has always been clear:
1) Energy independence. Sine qua non. We fund jihad every
time we fill up our gas tanks.
2) Articulate and celebrate Western Civilization and the
Judeo-Christian tradition
3) Speak the truth about jihad and gender apartheid
4) Act on existing laws.
Number four is key. I think we have a law against sedition. The
mosque attended by the Oklahoma beheader preached the violent overthrow of the
United States. Our security services knew this. Yet they did not act. Political
Correctness stayed their hand. A woman died as a result.
Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter, gave ample warning to
his fellow army officers that he planned a jihad action. None of his fellow
army officers stopped him. Political Correctness prevented them. Thirteen
people died.
The Tsarnaev Brothers murdered a Jewish man before they
bombed the Boston Marathon. Yet they were not apprehended.
The underwear bomber's father contacted the CIA and yet
he was not barred from entering the US. He came close to blowing up an airplane
and only passengers stopped him.
Universities are hotbeds of jihadist sentiment and
anti-Western hatred. Reza Aslan, Ward Churchill, and Bill Ayers are celebrated
and others who hold a relatively positive opinion of the US are told they are
too "right wing" to get a tenure track job.
We Americans have dug our own hole – and you want to
murder innocent Muslims. But you don't want to stand up to Political
Correctness? You have lost my respect with your thoughtless, violent,
ineffectual rants.
