It is true that Irhabiyoun means terrorist in Arabic. But so does Mujahideen, it’s just that a Jihadist is a “good terrorist against non-Muslims” and an Irhabist is a “bad terrorist against Muslims”. It is not only important to use the right words, it is important to emphasize what a wicked perversion of the religious impulse Jihad is. The aggressive, ever-expanding Jihad for Allah preached by Muhammed is a feature of Islam that cannot remain if Islam is to fit into the integrated world. Jihad is incompatible with all other religions and political systems. Muslims must come to fear the evil that will come their way as a result of their Jihad. Simply lying about its meaning will not be tolerated. Hopefully this will give enough Muslims a reason to interpret the religion in a way that pulls the fangs from Jihad and ends in the true moderates coopting their religion from Wahhabists, Deobandists, Khomeinists, Qutbists, and the rest of the 7th century vanguard of Islam.

A “going forward” position to consider from The American Scene team-blog: http://tinyurl.com/2kdbok

This may be a political loser but it preserves a shred of reality by focusing on principles rather than winning the spin cycle.

here’s a scary thought: what if the future historians are not scathing?

what if future historians of the United States of Allah only debate obscure Quranic history and meta-fatwa-ology?

or if the USSA only debates whether Marx, Lenin or FDR was the greatest Communist?

this is a war we can lose.
