John Cummuta: Militant Muslims are the culprits in many of world's current conflicts A letter to the editor Dear Editor: These are the facts: • On 9/11 we were attacked by militant Islamists. • But before that, our Marines were attacked in Lebanon by the same Hezbollah that's in the news today, and our embassies were attacked in Africa and the USS Cole was attacked in Yemen, all by militant Muslims. • Britain, Spain, France, Germany, the Netherlands and other European countries have recently endured Islamist attacks or threats. • Indonesia, Bali, the Philippines, Australia, and other Asian countries periodically experience Islamist bombings, kidnappings and threats. • India is experiencing attacks from militant Muslims. • Russia's problems in Chechnya are mostly with militant Muslims. • Iraq's hope for democracy is under constant attack from militant Muslims. • The African continent is seeing one militant Muslim assault after another on non-Muslims. • Israel is under constant attack from militant Muslims. • The world is threatened by one of the most militant Muslim regimes (Iran) developing nuclear weapons. Notice any pattern here? Every one of these globe-spanning outbreaks of death and destruction was initiated by militant Muslims. The non-Muslim world is under assault by Muslims who interpret the Quran to charge them with the responsibility of converting the entire globe to Taliban-like Muslim states by force. They're taking their lead from the Prophet Muhammad's way of growing Islam in the 7th century and the Ottoman Empire's spreading of Islamic domination in the 16th and 17th centuries - both by the sword - not by a peaceful triumph of their belief system over other belief systems. They are not fighting and hating us because of Israel, or the Iraq war, or our presence in the Mideast. They are against us because we are the world's largest purveyor of freedom. They hate freedom, women's rights, choice, and especially freedom of religion. They believe in Muslim dictatorships like they had in Afghanistan and currently have in Iran. That's what they want for the United States, and that's the only outcome that will satisfy these extremists - so how could we ever negotiate with them when the only thing they want is our total destruction as a free society and our total submission to them? Since I don't believe the majority of Americans wants to give control of our country to militant Muslims, we have no choice but to fight them. They won't stop if we bring our troops home from abroad. They won't stop until they win - or we win. We have no choice but to fight them. The only choice we do have is where we fight them: over there - like Iraq and Afghanistan - or here in the U.S. Pick one. John Cummuta Prairie du Chien
