Lessons From France David Horowitz The Muslim riots in France - orchestrated by cell phones and a political directorate that has spread the violence not only across France but also across Europe - is an obvious escalation of the Islamic jihad that seeks to conquer the infidel world for the Muslim faith.
It would be unkind to say that the French deserve it, but they do. This is the country that has done more to sabotage the war on Islamic terror and Muslim imperialism than any other. It has relentlessly preached appeasement of the enemy and condemnation of us as the chief obstacle to Islamic despotism.
It was the French who sabotaged the efforts to contain Saddam peacefully and prevent him from developing a weapons laboratory for his terrorist allies.
Story Continues Below
The left is still propagating the deadly lies that
1) Saddam was a secularist who did not support al-Qaida;
2) he had no role in the Islamic attacks on the United States that began with the blowing up of the World Trade Center in 1993;
3) he did not provide Iraqi soil and protection to Islamic terrorists like Zarqawi; and 4) his plans to build a weapons of mass destruction arsenal to use against the United States and its allies were not thwarted by the war of March 2003. All of these lies of the left have been thoroughly refuted ... yet they continue.
Where are the apoligies by all those liberals and leftists who pointed fingers at the Spanish and British, saying, "If you had not supported the United States' war in Iraq you would not be under attack now?"
The French were Saddam's and Islam's closest allies in the West. Yet France is now the target of an Islamic jihad that is destroying the fabric of French society.
The lesson for slow-witted liberals is this: The Islamic imperialists don't give a fig for what you do or what you say or what you believe about them. They are holy warriors. You are infidels. You will convert or die.
History will judge harshly the saboteurs of George Bush's war to defend the West against radical Islam. As a result of Bush's offensive, Osama bin Laden and his henchmen are already effectively dead. That is the only reason 300 million Americans have been safe from attack since 9/11.
What is Osama's role in the terror of the post-9/11, post-Afghanistan invasion years? So far as we know, it is nil.
The Bush war team has driven bin Laden into an exile from which there is no return. He orchestrates nothing; he is nothing but a symbol kept alive by his al-Qaida cohorts and his anti-Bush allies in the West.
So, another deadly liberal lie, designed to weaken the support for the West's war against terror, is exploded: that the war in Iraq is a distraction from the war on terror.
Just the opposite is true: The war in Iraq is the key to success in the war on terror.
Imagine if Iraq was controlled by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, which is what Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan fervently wish for and what Howard Dean and Ted Kennedy would accomplish. What do you think a Zarqawi who was not pinned down by U.S. soldiers and Marines would do with the Intifada in France?
What would Saddam do (if the peace movement had been successful in keeping him in power)? Does anyone doubt he would give as much support to the Intifadists in Europe as he did to the suicide bombers in Israel?
The French have even tried Jew- and Israel-bashing to appease the Islamic Jew-haters. It didn't work. The reason it didn't work is because Jew-hating is only the beginning of their sick fundamentalist creed. They hate Christians and Hindus and atheists too, and even Muslims who do not subscribe to their Islamo-fascist faith.
These are the lessons of France. The question is: Will the French and all the other appeasers learn them now?
