SAN DIEGO — I have immense admiration for the first responders and bystanders who ignored personal safety to aid the victims of the Boston Marathon horror show. I pray I would have similar courage. Now the task before every American official is to fully understand who nurtured two young jihadists and how carnage can be thwarted in the future. Tamerlan and Dzhikban Trarnaev’s murderous anti-American acts were the result of a radicalization process. Whether here in the U.S.A. or overseas they had been drenched in the ideology of radical, political and supremacist Islam. There is no evidence that either murderer was psychotic or a sociopath. They were ideological warriors in full command of their sanity.
Unless public officials from the White House on down have the courage to properly label the nature and roots of the jihadist’s ideology, our efforts at preventing this kind of murder and mayhem in the future will be hamstrung.
Before I continue I want to make it perfectly clear that I do not blame the President or Governor of Massachusetts for the evil acts of these to men. But I do blame the President and Governor for a failure to speak plainly and clearly about the ideology that has spawned this and thousands of similar attacks around the globe. Our public officials set the stage for what is permissible dialogue about terrorism. Our current administration has cleansed pubic documents and training programs of the words that accurately describe the nature of today’s terrorism. ‘Jihad’, ‘Islam’, ‘enemy’, ‘Muslim’, ‘Muslim Brotherhood’, ‘Sharia’ are some of the accurately descriptive words that can no longer be found in federal manuals and reports. (ex:National Intelligence Strategy Report 2009 and investigation of Nidal Hassan’s rampage). Governor Patrick has met with members of the Islamic community numerous times and failed to address the cancer growing within their faith.
For more than three decades a strain of jihadist Islam has conducted a campaign of coercively and violently spreading Islam. The evidence can be traced to the blood drenched trail they have laid virtually around the world. It has many different incarnations among a myriad organizations and individually inspired killers. What binds all of them is a shared supremacist Islamic ideology.
Before the mavens of political correctness start calling me ‘islamophobic’ let me be perfectly clear. I do not indict the 1.2 billion people who call themselves Muslims. But it is incumbent upon Muslims to swallow their pride or willful ignorance and own up to the problems arising from the words and actions of ten of millions who claim a shared faith. Fact is that the jihadists derive their religious rational for murder and hatred from accurately translated in context excerpts from the Qur’an and Hadith. Once again before the P.C. police go after me, I know that there are also tolerant and benign excerpts that can be drawn from Islamic holy texts. But we have a problem when apologists within and out of Islam refuse to acknowledge the troubling passages and the Islamic doctrine of abrogation that gives life to the hateful passages.
The apologist mentality that permeates the Obama administration infects the FBI, CIA, State Department, National Security Agency, Defense Department, homeland security and the military. It is the mindset that chills an aggressive purist of the jihadist threat. This is why the FBI, once warned about Trarnaev, failed to effectively prevent his murderous acts. This is why the danger signals given by Nidal Hasan that could have prevented the murder of 13 and maiming of dozens were ignored. The deaf ear to reality was amazingly continued by designating Hasan’s acts as “workplace” violence.
Pope John Paul dealt frankly with a history of Catholic anti-Semitism. Pastor Hagee acknowledged in gut-wrenching detail a 2,000-year history of Christian anti-Semitism. “Never again” culminates the tear-jerking crescendo of the Pastor’s speeches. Christianity survives and thrives with a dynamic sense of honesty and repentance. Courageous Muslims need to show the same kind of introspection if they truly care about their faith.
Our public officials don’t demonstrate tolerance by denying the truth or refusing to use words that are accurate descriptions of a major segment of Islam. Indeed, these acts of condescension show a degree of disrespect for Islam. They seem to believe that Muslims are incapable of dealing with the truth and the reformation that is required to save the faith.
For the sake of Martin Richard, Krystle Campbell, Lingzi Lu, Sean Collier and the millions of others victimized by radical Islam, I beg our public officials to show the courage necessary to call a spade a spade. Truth and justice demand no less of leadership.

…. Courageous Muslims need to show the same kind of introspection if they truly care about their faith ….
Translation: Those not correctly abjectly submissive to the totalitarian ideology called islam (Arabic for “submission”) will become as if Jewish, Christian and/or otherwise effectively Feranji (“Franks” – descendants of the Crusaders) and therefore fair game for the mattress-munching, pillow-biting, rape, forced sodomy, pedophilia, sexual mutilation, destruction of property and mass-murder definitive of the manifestation of evil, “islam,” that but poses as a “religion.”
At the end of the 1800s our cargo ships were being captured by Muslims; the officers were relegated to slavery until they died horrible deaths. Then the Muslims realized they could get more money by kidnapping the crew so about 16% of the U.S. budget was spent on bribes. And even then Adams and Jefferson were hesitant to fund the military to start a war against the Muslims. They didn’t think the Americans had the stomach for it. Doesn’t look like things have changed much so what is in store for those who want a change while the powers that be are using doublespeak to lull us into complacency. The time to change is now before it gets worse. I ponder if anything will happen…we have become a nation of instant gratification. God help us all.
Make that “end of the eighteenth century” – late 1700s.
The call for “courageous Muslims to show the same kind of introspection if they truly care about their faith” is futile because, as the article points out, the ideology of jihad and Islamic supremacy comes straight from the Koran and the sayings of their prophet Muhammad. No Moslem dare criticize any passage of the Koran or the accepted sayings of Muhammad because, if they did that, they would be committing apostasy and they would lose their identity as Moslems. The best that we can ever expect from such “courageous”, “moderate Moslems” is for them to go about their moderate lives in silent disobedience to the commands of their god (the Koran) and their prophet. They will never speak out about the sources of jihadist ideology which, by the way, are taught and preached in every mosque.
I have a different perspective on the recent catastrophe in Boston than what is being hammered on by both conservative & lame-stream media outlets. I submit my perspective for your consideration, if you want to use some or all of my perspective, you’re welcome to do so. Thank you for your time!
As the catastrophe in Boston unfolded on the national media, the eyes of America witnessed the consequence of a dastardly progressive agenda. The dastard progressive agenda has taken control of the nation’s education system and by doing so has implemented the disillusion of the American dream and the disintegration of a civil American society.
Gun Control? How about Progressive Control? What America saw unfold on national television and on-line media was in-effect a horrific demonstration of the destructive power of the Progressive Agenda in America. The threat posed by anti-American progressives is very real and continues to fester within the educational system of the United States. Tragically, the initial victims of the catastrophe in Boston were the two young immigrants from Chechnya; victims of the craven progressive agenda that acts with impunity within the fabric of American society.
Just a decade ago, with hopes & aspirations to reach for the American dream they had arrived in the US as young immigrant children with their family. Unfortunately, upon entering public schools, they were subjected to hostile indoctrination as they became statistics of a captured audience of impressionable, vulnerable students at the mercy of progressive surrogates. The progressive agenda contaminates individuals and hence civil society with hatred of American thought, Judeo/Christian principles, and Free-Market concepts. The social fabric of this nation is woven within the nation’s education system and progressives are in control along with their progressive unions & progressive politicians
A progressive’s abuse of entrusted positions of authority is akin to a social-path that walks into a school-house and murders innocent children and unsuspecting adults. A school-house slaughter is graphically appalling and demands immediate attention, but the destruction caused by converting the hopes & aspirations of the American dream into an Anti-American philosophy can become graphically appalling and tragic as it has this week. Although the disaster in Boston will continue to be referred to as an act of terrorism, it could more appropriately be considered a National Civics lesson by the progressive agenda.
Gun Control; is a distraction-issue, meant to divert the public’s attention from the fact that hopes & aspirations for the American dream are being held hostage by Anti-American philosophy being splayed by progressive surrogates in the nation’s schools, town-halls and mainstream media. The catastrophe in Boston has in-capsulated the major issues of concern in America today, mainly terrorism; gun-control; immigration reform, and a failing education system. All issues that are weaved by the progressive agenda for their own purpose and to spur Anti-American sentiment. We must retake the narrative and focus on controlling and/or eliminating the Progressive Agenda. The Progressive Agenda, Promoted & Endorsed by the Progressive Legion (a great multitude of minions & miscreants determined to subvert Judeo-Christian civilization).

Haha, what a funny rant. Yes it was the liberal anti-American agenda in schools that motivated these two. Hahaha. Your evidence sir?
Oh never mind, evidence doesn’t appear to play much part in shaping your pre-existing worldview.
Just one thing I don’t understand in your description: Why do you use/endorse the term ‘progressive’ for these degenerated beings?
This is about people who believe they found a shortcut to being ‘wonderful’ if they are seen sympathizing with a Rottweiler which had just mauled their kids or about to do so. How could such reckless indulgence be allowed to highjack the title of ‘liberal’, progressive?
never mind where the harmful perversion of political-correctness started – what matters is when/how it will be stopped
In the interest of political fairness, it should be noted that the culture of misguided political correctness far predates President Obama. The poster child of this was President George W. Bush, who, faced with the horrific death of 3,000 U.S. citizens from direct, unmistakable jihadist attacks, disingenuously declared a “war on terror” (NOT, he stressed, absolutely NOT a war on Islam or Radical Islam or anything else Islamic), because, he stressed, as we all know the Islamic religion is a religion of peace (all evidence to the contrary).
