A Day of Remembrance
The War for Independence and the Civil War: This weekend we celebrate Memorial Day to remember those who fought and died that we might live free. It was first set aside to commemorate those who fell during the Civil War. As Abraham Lincoln said at Gettysburg in 1863 at the height of that war, “It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.”
The War in Iraq: Today, however, the day has special poignancy, for while we remember all those who have fought and fallen, we now watch in horror as ISIS retakes Ramadi, a city for which American soldiers bled and died. It stands as yet one more bloody display of radical Islam’s goal to dominate the region and establish a global caliphate.
The Twin Towers of 9/11: And that takes us to back to another day, when we watched the tragic attack on the Twin Towers in New York, the Pentagon, and then the hijacking and crash of Flt. 93 in Pennsylvania – a day which eventually put us on the road to Iraq.
We are re-airing the program we recorded at the Court Square Theater in Harrisonburg on the 10th anniversary of that day because we must never forget the 3,000 innocent victims of those attacks or the pain and suffering that their families – and many others — still endure.
Islam: A House of Peace or of War?
Last week we featured Michael Del Rosso in Part I of Shariah: The Islamic Threat to America. In that program, Del Rosso focused on three questions: 1) Who is our enemy, 2) What is their doctrine, and 3) What is their objective?
He reviewed the Islamic doctrine and Shariah law that drives Islamic adherents to kill innocent people. He also explained the deceptive portrayal of Islam as a “House of Peace” – a “peace” that is achievable only by “submitting” to Muslim authority.
Del Rosso drew his conclusions directly from the Koran and other authoritative Islamic manuscripts, noting that the violent Medina passages of the Koran have “abrogated” the more peaceful passages from the earlier Mecca period.
He also exposed Islamic organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood that operate in the United States to subvert American values, undermine our Constitution, and promote global domination through both violent and non-violent jihad.
America’s Misguided Response
In Part II this week, Del Rosso blasts U.S. policy makers for refusing to acknowledge and confront the threat that a network of Islamic groups pose to American security. Instead, they change the terminology to avoid fingering Islam and Shariah as the threat.
He also unmasks the role that Islamic Centers and community mosques like the one in Charlottesville play in advancing the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan for American and global domination.
Michael Del Rosso is a Research Fellow at the Claremont Institute and a Senior Fellow at the Center for Security Policy in Washington, DC. He is also co-author of a recent book entitled Shariah: The Threat to America, which is available at www.amazon.com.
