A Desperate Call to Fight Terrorism in the World

Terrorism has been defined as an evil force aimed to destroy democracy, beliefs, and ways of life by groups totally infected with fanatic passion for accomplishing their goals by impossing them no matter what. Currently, the United States is fighting a war against terrorism, and after 4,000 dead soldiers, we still not able to find the horse's rein to stabilize and control the Al Q'aeda's forces.
Somehow, the war in Iraq was labeled a war against terrorism, a necessary film but with the wrong actors. What about transferring the war to Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, and Sudan? Why do we still negotiating with the PLO, an authentic terrorist organization that supports the total erradication of the State of Israel? Why the American government seems to ignore the rethorics of Ismail Haniyeh, leader of Hamas, another authentic terrorist organization?
If we are going to fight a war against terrorism, we must focus on the real perpetrartors of terror. We must aim our deadliest weapons and sabers to the heart of Hizbollahs, Hamas, Al Q'aeda, and PLO. There should not be room for negotiations nor diplomatic reunions. We need to understand that we cannot continue to be naive and think that negotiations will resolve the problems and the threats of terrorism. Terrorists are the leprosy of humanity that need to be erradicated from its roots immediately.
Jihad has been called, the Jewish people has been threatened and killed, the courageous men and women of the IDF defend the soil and occupied settlements to protect the safety and peace of their people.
Muslims are good people, as Catholics, Jews, Protestants, Hindus, etc. But there are also bad Catholics, bad Protestants, and bad Muslims. Whoever disrupts peace, attacks innocent people, committs henious crimes, and joys himself with the killing of who he or she considers enemies, should be executed.
Terrorism is not a sickness that can be treated with some dosis of medicine day by day until is cured. Terrorism is a sickness that needs to be treated with surgery to remove the malign molecules immediately. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is one of those molecules.
No more negotiations with the PLO, no more concessions to Hizbollahs and Hamas, and lets stop the henious crimes committed against the people of Israel, their sovereignty, their pride, their nation, their spirit, and their democracy. Lets start the surgery immediately!

America and the USA Patriot Act

The United States of America was attacked and war has been declared against our nation, our principles, our way of life, our democracy, our beliefs, our history, and our future. Most Americans may think it started with the coward and evil attacks of September 11, 2001. In fact terrorism attacks have been growing since the 70's but the main event that caught our attention toward a new phenomen was the Hizbollah attack to the Marine compound in Beirut in 1983. Between 1983 and 2001, nothing was done to prepare in the fight against terrorism. It did happen in our soil. It didn't affect Americans. And the President of the United States back then, Ronald Reagan, already apologized to the military and the family members.

As a nation of complacency, little by little we started stabbing our own nation by doing exactly what we are good at, nothing.

With the poisoned dart through the heart after the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York, America developed and implemented a powerful tool to intercept and obstruct terrorism, the US Patriot Act. Although, this act generated protest from civil rights organizations to include the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the advantages and disadvantages of it are aspects we must deal with it while fighting the war against terrorism.

Tuesday, September 11, 2001, dawned temperate and nearly cloudless in the eastern United States. Millions of men and women readied themselves for work. Some made their way to the Twin Towers in New York City. Others went to the Pentagon in Virginia. In Sarasota, Florida, President George W. Bush went for an early morning run. For those heading to an airport, weather conditions could not have been better for a safe and pleasant journey. Among the travelers was Mohamed Atta and Abdul Aziz al Omari, who arrived at the airport in Portland, Maine (The 9/11 Commission Report).

This was the end of the old America and the beiginning of the new America. Because of the "We have some planes" expression by Mohamed Atta, Americans can say "We have the USA Patriot Act." While the Muslim community feels targeted by the Act, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) claims that essential American freedoms are at risk, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) rejects it because its anti-constitutional elements, the development and implementation of the US Patriot Act is the best legal tool ever created to identify, investigate and counterattack individuals and organizations involved in acts of terrorism, directly or indirectly, against the sovereignty of this great nation, our nation, the United States of America.

It is obvious that the Act has generated controversy among Americans and definitely among foreign individuals living in our communities, especially the Muslim community.

The coward attacks on September 11, 2001 changed our way we do certain things, the way we make new sense for security measures, and the way the world pays attention to the catastrophic consequences of a terrorist attack. This has to be the wake up call for all American citizens to realize the danger and reality of radical Islamism as the vivid and evil force committed to destroy and erradicate anything or anybody that does not meet,or is not compatible, or is not of Islamic beliefs.

This commitment is written in the holy book, the Qur'an. It advises, "Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelive in Allah. Make a holy war.......When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any of these, you also accept it and withold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to accept Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them......If the refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya (the tax on non-Muslims especified in Qur'an 9:29). If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them (Sahih Muslim 4294)."

President Bush made it clear during his speech on November 6, 2001: "You're either with us or against us in the fight against terrorism," while looking for international support to bring terrorist organizations down around the world just two weeks after the USA Patriot Act entered into effect. The following are some of the advantages and disadvantages of the Act:

Advantages:

a) Enables law enforcement agencies and intelligence personnel to share information that is needed to connect the dots and disrupt potential terror and criminal activity before they can carry out their plots.

b) Enables US Customs and Border Protection to screen international visitors and determine whether an apprehended alien presents a threat to security or public safety.

c) US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) seeks to deny criminal organizations accessto financial systems that terrorists and other criminal organizations may exploit in rising, moving, and storing illicit funds.

Disadvantages:

a) It provides sweeping powers to government agencies to monitor the personal habits of not only those that have been identified as suspected terrorists, but anyone residing in the United States as well as US citizens residing abroad.

b) It allows the arrest and imprisonment of suspected terrorists without traditional legal protections for often unknown reasons.

c) It has been compared to the Sedition Act of 1918 and even the Reichstag Fire Decree and Enabling Act, which ultimately gave Adolf Hitler the opportunity to seize Germany.

Michelle Ricardson, a Legislation Consultant for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) commented: "Most Americans than expected would end up in government database. I think people are generally unhappy about that." And Nadira Al-Khalili, National Legal Council of the CAIR organization commented: "The Obama administration should review the FBI surveillance guidelines and bring them into comformity with the Constitution and with the cherised American values of religious freedom and respect for civil liberties." In my opinion, a Reichstag-alike decree should ban and prosecute those who in times of war against terrorism, seduce the masses by disseminating discomfort, opposition, and promote disloyalty against our government and pretend to advocate for those who have hurt us the most, radical Islam.

In conclusion, although the Muslim community feels targeted by the USA Patriot Act, the ACLU claims that essential American freedoms are at risk, and the CAIR rejects it because its anti-Constitutional elements, the Act provides the power needed to interfere and obstruct acts of terrorism against this nation, our nation, the United States of America.

Protecting America Against Radical Islam

After the September 11, 2001 coward terrorist attacks, the United States has learned that the threat of terrorism is something we must take seriously. There is no other way to take it.
President George W. Bush declared and announced the War on Terrorism, a military event that is going for its nineth year and we still haven't make any substantial progress to secure our soverignty and destiny.
Radical Islam has declared War to America, the destruction of the state of Israel, the execution of every Jew in the world, and the destruction of every nation and individual that does not follow Islam, in an effort to control the world. Their commitment is serious and has a legal, moral, and religious foundation. They have a declared war in place.
By the Constitution of the United States, the Congress is the only authority to declare war. We are just fighting President George W. Bush's war. What will it take the American Congress to declare war and against what country? Will we declare war to Iran? What about Afghanistan?
While no concise answer, it seems that we are just declaring war to terrorism as a whole. We have identified a very difficult target with little or no knowledge of what terrorism really is.
By nature, we are a nation of complacency and believe in super-powers and inmunity. We cried our losses until the end of 2001; we forgot about the terrorist incidents and what radical Islam is capable of, and we have left the battle to our men and women of the Armed Forces. We have abandoned them as we did in Vietnam fighting an unknown enemy that does not wear uniform but can cut your guts and throat with the same knife they eat, as we did in Vietnam fighting in a terrain we were never exposed to, the jungle.
Nine years later of the so-called War on Terrorism and Osama Bin Laden still at large and the captured terrorists that have been prosecuted in the United States have enjoyed the protection any delinquent is given it. We are treating a delinquent and a terrorist as similar bad apples.
Let's don't forget that terrorists retreat to plan and attack again. Let's not confuse that the "silence" period is because we are defeating terrorism, it is just a matter of time until radical Islam stab us in the heart one more time.
American citizens need to get together and help in the fight or War on Terrorism, we do not need weapons, we need education, commitment, being alert, observe, report, follow up, and defeat terrorism utilizing every grassroot organization aiming towards the same objective: Protect America from Radical Islam, and secure our FREEDOM.
