“It Is The Muslim Mind That Is On Fire”

From Youssef M. Ibrahim, a former Middle East correspondent for The New York Times and energy editor of the Wall Street Journal in the Middle East Times:

Indeed, jihadis have been killing for a decade in the name of Islam. They killed innocent tourists and natives in Morocco and Egypt, in Africa, in Indonesia and in Yemen, all done in the name of Islam by Muslims who say that they are better than all other Muslims. They killed in India, in Thailand and are now talking of killing in Germany and Denmark and so on. There were attacks with bombs that killed scores inside Shia and Sunni mosques, inside churches and inside synagogues in Turkey and Tunisia, with Muslim preachers saying that it is okay to kill Jews and Christians – the so called infidels.

Above all, it is the Muslim mind that is on fire.
(…)
What is more important to remember is this: When the West did unite after World War II to beat communism, the long Cold War began without pity. They took no prisoners. They all stood together, from the United States to Norway, from Britain to Spain, from Belgium to Switzerland. And they did bring down the biggest empire. Communism collapsed.

I fear those naïve Muslims who think that they are beating the West have now achieved their worst crime of all. The West is now going to war against not only Muslims, but also, sadly, Islam as a religion.

In this new cold and hot war, car bombs and suicide bombers here and there will be no match for the arsenal that those Westerners are putting together – (…)

Put your ear to the ground, (listen to talk radio?), and you can hear the drumbeat — getting ever stronger — Islam must get its own house in order, else the civilized world will have no other choice . . .

A few rays of hope here, with a definite caveat here. (db)
