When Someone Tells You He Wants to Kill You - Take Him Seriously
EFL Testifying before a U.S. Senate committee this week, Newt Gingrich â a historian before he entered politics â said that Ahmadinejad's threat âcalls to mind the reported response of a Holocaust survivor. When asked what lesson he had drawn from the experience, he answered, âWhen someone tells you he wants to kill you -- believe him.'" Little commented on has been the section of Ahmadinejad's speech where he put his threats against Israel into broader perspective, into the context of a long war between what he sees as rival civilizations. âWe are in the process of a historical war between the World of Arrogance [i.e. the West] and the Islamic world, and this war has been going on for hundreds of years,â he said. "'In this historical war, the situation at the fronts has changed many times. During some periods, the Muslims were the victors and were very active, and looked forward, and the World of Arrogance was in retreat. "'Unfortunately, in the past 300 years, the Islamic world has been in retreat vis-a-vis the World of Arrogance.â That will change, Ahmadinejad promised. He said that when people ask him if it is really âpossible for us to witness a world without America and Zionism?â he replies: â[Y]ou had best know that this slogan and this goal are attainable, and surely can be achieved.â There is every reason to believe him and other Islamist Fascists. There is every reason, this time around, to do whatever it takes to stop them. Posted by: Ebbirt Clinelet5234 2005-11-04 |
