Why is the American media reluctant to recognize that the so-called Beltway Snipers may be Islamic terrorists? This topic seems to evoke a lot of interest. I have received several emails even before our Women in Green radio broadcast on Arutz Sheva.
Here is one of these emails:
?The sniper must be crazy, but the suicide bombers are educated to hate and commit the same attacks over and over again. The sniper is just an isolated crazy loony.?
That is exactly where it's at. Is the Beltway Sniper just an "isolated crazy loony", or is the Beltway Terror in the United States the same as we have experienced daily here in Israel? Also, why does the American media refuse to realize that the Beltway Snipers may be something much more dangerous than "isolated crazy loonies"?
The American Media, in their desire to be at all times politically correct, are reluctant to recognize that the Beltway Snipers may well be the first wave of the post 9/11 invaders. Terrorists abound, not only in Israel, but they are turning up within United States borders. Until recently, those borders were believed to be safe and secure.
The main sniper suspect, John Allen Muhammed, is an African-American who converted to Islam about seventeen years ago. The troubling coincidence of conversion to Islam and hatred of the United States needs to be looked at very closely. To what extent does Islam attract the disaffected and to what extent does it actively turn them against their own country?
Unfortunately, this may just be the beginning of more terror attacks within the United States. But the government and the media still keep talking about Islam as a "peaceful religion" even though there is so much evidence to the contrary. Of course, there are peace-loving Muslims, but they are not the ones with the guns and the explosives who believe that all non-Muslims are infidels, and must be killed.
The unpleasant reality that there may be more and more terrorist attacks within their own borders is something Americans must confront if they want to win the war on terror.
