Working Together to Defeat Christian and Islamic Terrorism

RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM appears to be on the rise, as the Islamic State gets devoured one household at a time by the Iraqi military and American special forces trainers, and its strategy begins to shift to pure terrorism in global earnest. If you can't stand straight up and fight the enemy toe to toe, try something else. Ask George Washington. Chances are Obama is following the advice of his military advisers, and the strategy seems to be working in Iraq. Root 'em out, slowly, steadily, certainly. Now the trick is to find a way to deal with Islamic State terrorism. One strategy is to try to unite the entire civilized world against it, including the one point five billion Muslims, which is why Obama and his ilk think its a good idea to refrain from using the term "Islamic terrorism". Consider, for example, radical Christian terrorism. Never heard of it? Oh, yes you have. There was once a time when radical christian terrorism spread across the fruited plain of freedom's land like a plague of locusts, in particular, the period right after the Civil War. for a hundred years African-American Americans were murdered by the tens of thousands by radical Christian terrorists. In the late twentieth century and early twenty first, thank the lord, radical Christian terrorism seems to be declining, but is still very much with us. You've heard of the Ku Klux Klan, you've heard of David Koresh and the Branch Davidians, and, lest we not forget, you've heard of the inimitable "The Arm, the Sword, and the Covenant of the Lord" group, which, if memory serves, had as it primary goal the killing of all Jews, atheists, Muslims, African-Americans, and lord only knows who else. Dylann Roof, who about a year ago blew away nine black people in a church in these United states, is a great example of radical Christian terrorism. There are many more. We don't call radical Christian terrorism radical Christian terrorism - why not? The reason is obvious, and it applies equally to so called radical Islamic terrorism. Christians, by and large, overwhelmingly, reject violence perpetrated in the name of the Prince of Peace, just at Muslims overwhelmingly reject violence. It is more important than ever, at this very moment, to unite the American people and the Islamic faith against terrorism, because the terrorists are striking in predominantly Islamic countries like turkey and Iraq, as well as the mostly christian United states. Surely billions of people working together can defeat a few thousand.
