For several reasons. mainly health related, I have not been on this board for some time. I logged on to add my two cents worth to what I thought would be an ongoing discussion about the events in Fort Hood. To my surprise no-one has commented on this. This was as much Islamic Terrorism as the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center.

If we do not accept that radical Islam intends to destroy the United States, then we will be like the Jews who walked willingly onto the Nazi trains and into the death camps. Obviously, the jews were not guilty, but their refusal to fight caused the slaughter to be much greater. Had they fought, the end of the Third Reich would have been greatly accelerated.

It is time for honesty - radical Islam is at war with us, even as we refuse to acknowledge that openly. It is time to openly identify the enemy as the 'praying imams' in Minneapolis, not our mothers and fathers going about their normal travels. If we do not wake up, we will suffer the same fate as the German Jews sis in WWII. We must declare war on the enemy, just as the enemy has openly declared war on us.
