We still don’t understand what we’re up against.
“I recall one instance where we were ordered to turn over a shipping container of captured Taliban weapons to the Afghan government, and I told the Major in charge of the mission “You know these are going right back to the Taliban as soon as we leave, right?” Without hesitation he responded, “Oh yes, I know.”
This story that Jesse Petrilla tells in If It Takes a Thousand Years: From Al-Qaeda to Hamas, How the Jihadists Think & How to Defeat Them’is part of the larger reason why we not only lost Afghanistan, but why we’re losing to Islamic terrorists around the world and at home.
Jesse Petrilla had been an Army Liaison Officer on the ground in Afghanistan and had taken part in the interrogation of Taliban and Al Qaeda terrorists. He had also witnessed the defeatist politics that foreshadowed the loss of Afghanistan and encroaches on much of civilization.
While Petrilla’s time in Afghanistan is at the heart of the narrative, he moves from Israel to Jordan, visits Egypt, travels to the Balkans and witnesses the incursion of Islam into Europe, and then back home into the United States where he served as an elected official. Along the way he sees Islam in its native environment and in our own, witnesses our growing willingness to appease it and surrender to it, and our refusal to come to terms with what it truly is.
This is an experience that began when he was in Afghanistan and encountered military officers unwilling to understand what they were up against or, like that major, unwilling to rock the boat.
Afghanistan was not lost in any single battle, but in our refusal to understand what we were fighting. And if our civilization falls the way that Constantinople once did, that will ultimately be the tragic epitaph to be carved on its tombstone. In Afghanistan, Petrilla encounters Islam at its most elemental, operating with a heedless disregard for reality and human life, motivated purely by a fiery mix of theological conviction and tribalism. The Muslim terrorists he encountered boasted of their willingness to keep fighting us for generations, even, as in the book’s title, if it takes a thousand years, they were willing to kill, to die and teach their children to kill us.
As Petrilla succinctly observes, “they just want your entire society to submit or die.”
Islam has already fought for more than a thousand years to force all non-Muslims to submit to Islam. It is willing to fight for another thousand years to make slaves of all mankind.
The Koran has a great deal of value, but human life has almost none. Human beings are mere vehicles for imposing Islam or resisting it. Much like the Marxist view of society, individuals don’t matter, only the movements of history do. In that realm, which one of the Afghans he encounters describes as a “planet”, nothing matters less than a man. --->READ MORE HERE
And Islamic Nazis.
In January 1944, allied armies were tightening the noose around the Third Reich with the intention of decapitating the Nazi high command and forcing the Hitler regime to surrender unconditionally. In five years the Nazis had murdered 70 million people and succeeded in reducing the total number of Jews in Europe to half what it had been before the Nazi leadership had launched their plan to complete a “Final Solution” to the “Jewish Question.” The Final Solution was to systematically exterminate every man, woman and child of Jewish faith and Jewish blood, thus ridding the earth of this mongrel race of people who were responsible for so much corruption and misery among the civilized people of humankind.
Across the Atlantic Ocean in the United States capital, President Franklin Roosevelt was just preparing an address that would change the aims under which the United States was fighting the war. The new aims would dramatically change the future if the allies won. Eisenhower’s statement claimed the allied attacks were too indiscriminate and harsh. Too many innocent Germans were dying he said. It was time to end the war as soon as possible – first with an immediate cease fire and then with a permanent one. America’s displeasure with the allied war policy of seeking total victory over the monstrous evil that the Nazis represented. The American president, who had pledged his support for a permanent solution to the Nazi threat – now wanted an immediate end to the war. This, of course, would mean the survival of Hitler and the Nazi regime.
I beg your pardon…
President Roosevelt never wrote such a letter and never intended to support such a betrayal – of the Jews, of the idea of a tolerant humanity, of the idea that there were no sub-human races who needed extinction, or master races that needed to be worshiped and obeyed. Or a betrayal of the 70 million people who might die in the next war whenever Hitler or his heirs decided to launch it.
America’s current president – Joe Biden, did call for such a reversal of policy and intend to pursue the path of such monstrous betrayals, as did his dangerously shallow Vice President Kamala Harris. In so many words – “too many innocent Palestinians were dying” – Harris justified an amnesty for the leaders of a genocidal movement that had already roasted infant Jews in ovens to show that the whole race of Jews was expendable.
Were the German people who supported and worshiped Hitler less innocent than the citizens of Gaza? In World War II the allies fire bombed Dresden not because it was a military target but to demoralize the German civilians whose contribution to the war effort was vital. --->READ MORE HERE
