Answers at the end of the post.
The pursuit of the Islamic dream of world religious domination continues apace. With the assistance of Presidents Carter and Obama the epicenter of Islamic imperialism, the Republic of Iran, has been encouraged to move forward to the Stone Age. The Ayatollah’s pursuit of nuclear weapons and support for international misogyny and public decapitations by subsidiaries of the regime has been dutifully ignored by the International Left. 9/11 has faded from our collective memory.
But wait…there is a monkey in the wrench, a killjoy, a stick in the mud who threatens to spoil all the fun…Donald J. Trump. Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury are the Trumpian equivalent of “Candy gram for Mongo”. Perhaps it is time to better understand what the world has been up against since 632 A.D. As Tulsi Gabbard, channeling Sun Tzu, said: “Every soldier knows this simple fact: ‘If you don’t know your enemy, you will not be able to defeat him’.”
A Threat or a Promise?
“I was ordered to fight all men until they say ‘There is no god but Allah’.” Prophet Mohammad 632 A.D.
“I shall cross this sea to their islands to pursue them until there remains no one on the face of the earth who does not acknowledge Allah.” Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub, known to Richard the Lionheart as Saladin, at the start of the Third Crusade in 1189.
“We will export our revolution throughout the world…until the calls ‘there is no god but Allah and Mohammad is the messenger of Allah are echoed all the world over’.” Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979 after President Carter and the collective leaders of Europe had removed the Shah and installed Khomeini as the leader of Iran.
“I was ordered to fight the people until they say there is no god but Allah, and his prophet Mohammad.” Osama bin Laden in November 2001, shortly after his urban renewal project in Manhattan was completed.
“Islam is a religion of peace.” The benighted President Barrack Obama on many occasions after 9/11/2001.
Which of these quotes seems to be incongruous?
Know Your Enemy
The American people would be well advised to study the violent history of conquest that has been ongoing since Mohammad was summoned by Allah to create the Muslim faith.
Here is a partial list of the conquests and assaults on civilization by Islamic militants since 610 A.D.: Damascus (613),, Mecca (630), Syria (635), Jerusalem (637), Egypt and Persia (639), Cyprus (654), Spain (715), North Africa (800), Rome (846), Malta (869), control of all the Alpine passes between Italy and France (911), Pisa, Italy (1004), and Constantinople (1453). In 1683 the Muslin invasion of Europe ended at the Gates of Vienna. Had Ali Velshi of MSDNC been on the scenes these military actions would likely have been described as “mostly peaceful”.
Since the fall of the Ottoman Empire at the end of World War I the expansion of Islam has transitioned from military conquest to an invasion by immigration…with a few notable exceptions.
Since the creation of the State of Israel in 1948 the Jewish nation has been subjected to continuous terrorist assaults by Hezbollah and Hamas, wholly owned subsidiaries of the peace loving regime in Iran. In additions there have been five wars: The 1948 War of Independence with Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, the 1967 the Six Day War with Egypt, Jordan and Syria, the 1973 Yom Kippur War with Egypt and Syria, the 1982 Lebanon War with Lebanon, the PLO, Hezbollah and Syria and 2006 the so-called Second Lebanon War with Hezbollah.
On October 7, 2023 Hamas initiated a particularly nasty soiree in southern Israel which involved numerous murders and rapes as well as the wholesale destruction of property. A number of people were kidnapped and taken to Gaza for additional personal violence and mayhem. Recommended reading: On Democracies and Death Cults by Douglas Murray which describes, in unfiltered detail, the atrocities committed by the Gazan ambassadors for the religion of peace. It is an embarrassment that the fully justified retaliation by the IDF was roundly condemned as “genocidal” by American college students and faculty members as well as our news media all of whom were safely ensconced 5,000 miles away.
Based on this history of violence we are waiting for Senor Obama to revise and extend his remarks about the peaceful nature of Islam.
It is unlikely that will happen as Presidents Obama and Biden have made serious financial investments in Terror Inc. Obama sent $1.7 billion in cash to Tehran neatly shrink wrapped on pallets. Not to be outdone Biden released to Iran an additional $6 billion that had been frozen, at the behest of the US, in foreign banks We await evidence that these funds were earmarked for gay pride and women’s rights programs in Iran.
Enter, Stage Right, Team Trump. The decision has been made to address Iran’s 47 year destabilization of the Near East and the export of terrorism to all points of the compass. The Democrats, harkening back to their fond memories of the exploits of their very own KKK, seem unmoved by public beheadings orchestrated by ISIS and other outrages committed by the Islamic troglodytes. Nor were they offended by the serial rapes and murders that took place on October 7, 2023. The Left exercises a very selective wrath and, counting on the ignorance of their voters, they have a Pavlovian habit of blaming everything that happens in the Levant solely on the existence of Israel.
Tolerance
We must remember that our First Amendment ensures the free exercise of religion and we should protect the right of peaceful Muslims to practice their faith in America. This would provide a stark contrast to the intolerance practiced by Islamists in Mozambique, Congo, Mali and Nigeria where Christians are being slaughtered by adherents of Quranic peace. There have even been killings of Christians in Learing centers in Somalia. In the 20th century Christians comprised 13.6% of the population in the Near East. In 2020 it had been reduced to 4.2%. Perhaps Obama can offer up an explanation for this, dare we say, genocide.
In any case we do not want to deprive Obama of the near orgasmic thrill he gets when he hears the Muslim call to prayer from the minarets in our communities. But we must not tolerate calls for Jihad against the Great Satan from those same minarets.
We will soon find out if the term “Islamic learning curve” is oxymoronic.

This is a very important post and the timing could not be more appropriate.
On April 3, 1965, Paul Harvey first delivered his commentary. “If I were the Devil…” Now, 60 years later, we are on the brink. However, it’s not just the USA that is threatened, it’s the entire world…history has been forgotten or rewritten, western society has welcomed the enemy (that it clearly does not understand) into its very fabric, and the conservative mantra that America is/was the greatest country has been religated to the trashheap of ridicule by knowledge-free youths, who will soon be deciding the future direction of society.
However, there is hope. Paul Harvey did not expect a somewhat unpredictable, orange haired leader to come along and overturn the applecart of history, by promising what he would do, and doing what he promised. He did not anticipate a leader who would have an absolutely clear and simple vision that radical Islam must be stopped, regardless of how the academic elites would pontificate and obfuscate from the highest of ivory towers.
And now…the rest of the story:
Trump needs to finish this with the ultimate result of a secular regime governing a free Iran in a peaceful middle east. There may not be another chance!
