Sean this ones for you : Why They Hate Us It’s virtually impossible for decent people, civilized people, to understand the Islamist mind. Their butchery and savagery are almost beyond description. They casually do things that make the gratuitous violence that Hollywood produces look like child’s play. We had better learn to understand the way they think and to believe the things they do and say, because our lives may depend on it. In an article titled “Why They Behead Us”, Lawrence Siskind addressed the issue: Daniel Pearl. Nicholas Berg. James Foley. Steven Sotloff. Four American noncombatants have been beheaded by Islamic fanatics, and the videos of their murders brazenly circulated over the internet for the world to witness. Another Westerner – David Cawthorne Haines, a security expert hired by international aid organizations – faces the same gruesome fate. Why do they behead us? The question goes to the method, not the motive, of the madness. Murderers’ motives don’t matter much in the Middle East. In local eyes, there are so many causes to kill for, and so many victims deserving death. But assuming one is inclined to butcher, why do so by the particularly peculiar method of beheading? Why not butcher by shooting, or by hanging, or by detonation? This is, to put it mildly, a grim inquiry. But it is worth the trouble to explore. For the answer may tell us something about the nature of the evil we face. Others have asked the same question and come up with their own theories. David Brooks of the New York Times believes Islamic fanatics choose beheading because the act represents a defilement of something sacred: the human body. This is the fact that every one of us needs to embrace: the problem is real, and it’s coming our way. If your tendency is to bury your head in the sand, sing Kumbaya, and pretend that problems don’t exit or that they will never reach you personally, you could lose your head, literally. Far too many people adjust very slowly to changing circumstances, so gradually, in fact, that they put themselves and their families at risk. If you know someone like that, you need to tell them a few things: Tinkerbell is an animated Disney character. There is no Santa Claus. When you die, you take nothing with you except your spirit and your soul. Yahweh will not be impressed or entertained when you tell Him how much money you used to have and about the great deal that you just closed. He will be interested in how you lived your life. Avoiding conflict and ignoring personal responsibilities can be costly in this life and in the next. Last but not least, Islamists hate you and want to kill you because of who you are and what you believe. It’s as simple as that. They even hate each other, so you had better get ready. If mass violence erupts in the U.S., there will be pandemonium, so you had better prepare now. If it happens, there will be no time for preparation. In Ferguson, Missouri, we recently witnessed something like the kind of violence that I’m talking about. But that was minor compared to what can happen under the right conditions—a “Perfect Storm” so to speak when multiple forces come together simultaneously. Under the right conditions, we will see things in the U.S. that no one has ever seen before. It could happen, and the probability of it happening today is much greater than it was just 6 years ago. Thankfully, Americans are beginning to wake up to reality. For that, we owe President Obama a tip of the hat, because his ineptitude brought about the change. This is the bottom line: you should prepare for what might happen and pray that it doesn’t happen. It’s like buying life insurance or health insurance. A small investment now can mean a lot down the road, and it’s better to safe than sorry.
