Pay Attention to Pakistan

Even if you're not really interested in international goings-on, you need to pay close attention to what's happening in Pakistan right now.

Some antiwar activists, who try to spin every example of radical Islam's violent, irrational behavior as nothing more than a justified response to Bush's foreign policy, need to look at what's going on in Pakistan, because it shows just how violent these followers of the "religion of peace" really are.

These fanatical savages are calling for jihad, holy war, against General Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan's president, after the confrontation between government forces and armed radicals at the Red Mosque in Islamabad.

Syed Munawwar Hasan, a religious leader, told followers: "Musharraf is going an
extra mile to implement the agenda of America in this part of the world."

What agenda? Not allowing religious fanatics terrorize innocent people?

Two suicide attacks were reported on Thursday. Police on Friday raided a
house in the northwestern town of Dera Ismail Khan and arrested three suicide
bombers who were preparing for attacks, said Niaz Quereshi, a police spokesman.
Quereshi said five so-called suicide vests, 100 mortar shells, two rockets and
one landmine were seized.

How much of this do you have to see before you realize that radical Islamists' first and only response to everything they disagree with is murder and mayhem?

It amazes me that there's a crowd in this country that refuses to acknowledge the bloody nature of these people, while calling the frat house-like antics at Abu Ghraib "torture" and condemning their own countrymen. It amazes me that these "activists" blame America for the fact that these animals are of such low caliber that the only thing they know how to do is pray and kill people.

But the thing that amazes me most is that some people are so anti-Bush that they completely ignore the fact that these fanatical Muslims have plainly stated numerous times that they are going to kill us all, and instead call recognition of such statements "scare tactics" and "Islamophobia."

Here's the bottom line: Pay attention to Pakistan, because if you continue to ignore these ignorant, bloodthirsty killers when they show the world day after day after day that they are at war with you, and me, and every other free person in the world, then they will eventually come here and kill you and everyone you love.

But you can tell them, as they saw through your neck, that you marched for peace.
