Apoint to ponder!
[h=3]Every time there’s a terrorist attack, we’re treated to apolitically correct chorus of responses, from President Obama and others,insisting that it had nothing to do with religion. It was about “hate.” It was “homophobia.”It was because guns laws aren’t tough enough.[/h][h=3]No. It was about religion. Specifically, Islam.[/h][h=3]One interesting new tipoff comes from Tom Joscelyn, seniorfellow of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and senior editor of TheLong War Journal, in an appearance on Fox News. He links the terrorist attacksto the Islamic mythology of heaven and hell. To cite just the most recentexample, when the Orlando shooter called 911 to proclaim his allegiance toISIS, he was doing so in obedience to the Islamic State, which has an entireliterature devoted to such things. The jihadist is supposed to pledgeallegiance to the Caliphate so he can die in a state of obedience. If he diesin a state of disobedience and has not performed this “buyout,” this oath ofallegiance, he risks going to hell.[/h][h=3]To ensure a trip to heaven for the jihadist, he mustpublicly state the oath. The shooters in San Bernardino did the same thing.Other terrorists have gone online to do it.[/h][h=3]So, in case it wasn’t already infinitely clear to everyonewith a functioning brain, Obama has it wrong. These horrific outbursts ofviolence are not simply to register displeasure against gays, Americans or(fill in the blank). They are intended as a one-way ticket to heaven, stampedwith an oath of obedience. [/h]
