This film is not a news story, balance is irrelevant. The
film advocates a
position against Islamization of the West. Yes, it is
inflammatory, but
nowhere does it advocate wiping out all Mulsims or Islam
itself. What is
wrong with opposing the notion that mosques should have a
role in
government? What is wrong with opposing people who would
force their
religion on you by the sword? The rhetoric coming from
extremist Muslims is
akin to Nazi rhetoric in the 1930's in Europe. Germany was
not 100% Nazi
thugs. But the violent and vocal extremist Nazi party
imposed its will on
the rest of the German population. In the 1930's, few people
understood the
threat from Hitler and the Nazi party. Some people in the
U.S. even
supported them. European governments failed to understand
the stakes, and
the world was cast into chaos for almost a decade because of
it.
In the Middle East, the situation is actually far worse in
some ways than
Germany in the 1930's. Authoritarian governments throughout
the region have
used Islam, through mosques, madrassas, and television, to
brainwash their
populations to support an ideology of violence and hatred.
Clearly there are
opponents, but in much of the Middle East they face the
possibility of
prison or death if they speak out. Most of the population
doesn't need to
actively support the extremist ideology, quiet compliance is
more than
enough. Like Germany in the 1930's, the extremists openly
advocate a war of
subjugation against the "others" without any fear
of punishment. And we
stand idly by watching as their movements grow and their
hatred takes seed
around the world.
And yoiu are exactly right- oppression and poverty are
driving issues in
many of these countries. The time has come for free people
everywhere to
denounce Islamo-fascism and stand together with the
moderates in the Muslim
world to support a vision of freedom and prosperity for
everyone, regardless
of race, religion, or ethnicity. We are already engaged in
that task, and
brave people from our societies in the West have laid down
their lives in
hellish places like Iraq and Afghanistan so that those
oppressed people
might one day taste the freedoms that we have enjoyed our
entire lives.
