This author has been accused of promoting hatred of Mohamadans. I have been criticized for automatically concluding that Islamists are guilty of committing acts of war and terrorism against the Free World. "Never mind that the overwhelming number of bombings across the world, both of the suicidal and homicidal varieties, occur in furtherance of the jihad," say Islamists and their useful idiots. So do they have a point that the goons holding a Koran in one hand while torching churches and the Christians inside them or while vandalizing Jewish-owned business or cemeteries did not constitute a concerted effort by Islamists to attack infidels? In an attempt at cultural sensitivity, conflict resolution and reconciliation with Mohamadans, I will serve as the defense attorney in the court of public opinion for Najibullah Zazi, the Mohamadan in the United States recently arrested for involvement with a terrorist plot targeting New York. (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/09/18/national/main5321252.shtml?tag=stack)

Has anyone considered the possibility all of his secretive dealings were an effort to surprise New Yorkers? On the eighth anniversary of the jihadist attacks on the World Trade Center, maybe he was planning a citywide gift distribution. After consulting a list of traditional gifts for anniversaries, Zazi could have been secretly arranging the placement of improvised explosive devices in pottery or bronze receptacles through the city. The residents could have been greeted with lovely gunpowder-fueled displays spelling out "I heart NY" in shrapnel. Perhaps he preferred the modern suggestion of lace or linen so we can deduce what he had in mind: new burkas for every woman in the city! So, FBI, are you happy now that you ruined the surprise for everyone? What a bunch of spoilsports!

Did the FBI consider the possibility that Zazi's reference to an actual, planned wedding was, in fact, legitimate but just not recognized under the American legal system? News out of Sudan showed that Islamists do not discriminate against people with an alternative sexual orientation(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4748292.stm). Moral relativists certainly should demand that the FBI display a higher level of tolerance for this cultural aspect of Islam, in addition to other cherished Islamic practices like female genital mutilation, wife-beating and murder of rape victims. Once again, Americans have demonstrated their bigotry toward sexual minorities!

Undoubtedly, people in the United States will label Zazi as an "extremist" or a "radical" adherent of Islam. A more unfounded accusation could not be hurled at him. Zazi has faithfully devoted himself to following the tenets and commandments of the Koran. He has not strayed into un-Islamic activities like befriending infidels, repairing vandalized churches or synagogues, protesting against terrorism, composing music or creating works of art like sculptures or portraits. Therefore, those who have besmirched his allegiance to Allah should acknowledge Zazi's commitment to true Islam!

Is it too much to ask for Americans to view the situation from Zazi's point of view? We should consider his unease about seeing his relatives for the upcoming the celebration of Eid al-Fitr. He would have had to face yet another plethora of irritating comments from his parents such as "Your older brother Mohamad killed three infidels and one apostate during Ramadan. That's more than you killed all year! Even your younger brother Mohamad martyred himself last month. Why can't you stop being such a slacker and act like your brothers?" Due to his shirking of his responsibilities to Allah and Mohamad, Zazi's parents will not give him that brand new explosive vest on which he has had eye for months now. Instead, he will have to settle for a box cutter as the gift from his parents. That kind of torture would not be permitted by the United Nations yet we expect that this young man to suffer like this? Have you no heart, Americans?

I would like to offer a compromise. We should allow him to behead a few members of Code Pink or the John Adams Project to placate his demanding parents. The members of those groups would just blame the slayings on George Bush, Israel's existence, global warming or any other culprit except for Islam. So what would be the problem?

In conclusion, I wish to all my devoted Mohamadan readers, HAVE AN EXPLOSIVE EID AL-FITR!

Hidden by the ongoing debate and protests over the proposed socialization of the American health care system in addition to the recent death of the man responsible for Mary Jo Kopechne's death, the Obama administration has started its torment of the defenders of American security. The Obama regime has been returning political favors to those that supported his campaign. Among these are the self-loathing Americans who want the United States to accept defeat and retreat on all of fronts in the Islamic war against the Free World. Therefore, the Obamaniacs have demanded that their messiah's henchmen unsheathe their daggers then plunge them into the exposed backs of patriots combating jihadis. 

American service personnel have already been forced to concede to Islamists' demands regarding the treatment of the jihadis. American tax dollars were spent to provide a Koran, prayer rug and prayer beads to every captured jihadi. This funding of religious instruction exists in addition to the highly expensive provision of halal meals to cater to the savages' tastes. All of this undeserved treatment of these criminals flies in the face of the Geneva Convention. None of these goons were wearing a distinguishable military uniform while engaged in such activities as firing on American and allied forces, planting explosives and other acts of war.

There is no precedent for this appeasement of Islamists' demands for undeserved treatment. German prisoners during the Second World War never received free copies of <i>Mein Kempf</i> during their captivity. During that same war, the few Japanese soldiers captured by American  were not issued any means to commit ritualistic suicide as their ideology mandated. Additionally, captured communist forces during the wars in Korea and Vietnam never were issued copies of <i>The Communist Manifesto</i> or any other Marxist literature supplied by the country that they sought to defeat. One must ask why do adherents to Islam deserve complementary implements of their ideology when adherents to other strains of totalitarianism were denied similar luxuries. Not only were Axis and Communist forces never pampered in captivity, those who engaged in military operations while not in uniform were frequently executed. Anyone involved in acts of sabotage or other hostility while not in uniform are considered as spies; those have no protections under the Geneva Convention.  Instead of bowing down to Allah five times per day, these jihadis should reserve some gratitude for Uncle Sam for his naive and short-sighted magnanimity.

So what practices have drawn the ire of the useful idiots more concerned about pleasing Islamists than preventing further acts of jihad against the United States? Some of these prisoners were strip-searched, had ink smeared on their faces, were held in solitary confinement, were deprived of shoes, had cigar smoke blown in their faces or saw an interrogator squat over, stand on or kick a Koran. Can anyone hand-wringing over these incidents name just one person who has ever died or suffered disabling injuries from any of these actions?

Mohamad al-Kahtani, the would-be twentieth hijacker of the plot on the eleventh of September in 2001, faced annoyances such as sleep deprivation, exposure to cold  and insults to female members of his family. Many of the members of the American armed forces have endured the same treatment during their training. When will any member of the ACLU or any other jihadi-coddling group lift a finger to halt to rough treatment meted out to American service personnel?

In a pursuit of justice, someone should conduct of poll of survivors of jihadist violence. The question would ask, “Would you rather undergo the same treatment suffered by the prisoners at GITMO or would prefer the fate of the passengers of the hijacked planes and by the occupants of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon?” Maybe such an undertaking would open the eyes of the “Hate America First” crowd to see the folly of their myopic and self-destructive agenda.

After too many hours of dawdling, providing sustenance to the jihadis, communicating with them and otherwise, wasting time, the U.S. Navy finally instituted a suitable response to the savages who had attacked the Maersk Alabama. Happily, the captain of the ship survived while three of his captors succumbed to simultaneous contractions of cranial lead poisoning. Unfortunately, one of barbarians fell into the custody before being sent off the Great Eternal and Celestial Whorehouse for Islamo-murderers. He will have to settle for the fawning and sympathy of the Atheists', Criminals' and Lunatics' Union and other self-loathing American useful idiots.

The United States has a history of confronting jihadis who were plundering ships flying the American flag. In the first two decades of the nineteenth century, American naval forces and members of the fledgling U.S. Marine Corps confronted North African Islamo-pirates. After continuously paying tribute to the savages of the Barbary States, the American government gradually realized that only brutal reprisals would convince the jihadis to cease the attacks. The first conflicts between Islamists and Americans can provide lessons those living in the twenty-first century.

It is incumbent upon the civilized nations of the world to muster their naval forces to crush these jihadis. Let us not repeat the same errors in judgment as those in power throughout Europe committed during the era of the Barbary States' terrorism. Instead of uniting against their mutual foe, the various Western countries rendered protection money to the savages, just as cowardly dhimmis had done when the Islamic hordes conquered new territory. These bribes happened in hopes that the Mohamadans would target the ships of other nations. Those payments, as well as modern attempts at appeasement, only embolden the thieves to raise the costs of future jizya.
