We can, and should, point out to the willfully ignorant PaulBots and Democrats (same thing really) that Islamic Fascism has very deep roots which precede the formation of the state of Israel and U.S. involvement in the Middle East.

Sadly though, I don’t think it will make much of a dent in their thinking. Their level of delusion has reached such astronomical proportions that I find many of them just repeating the same lies over and over and over no matter how many times they have been exposed and debunked.

The idelogical foundation for these folks is like a house of cards. Or better still, a house of canards. You pull out one canard and the whole structure will come crashing down.

Deep down, these folks must realize that and are desperate to avoid that eventuality. They would have to face the painful truth that they have been so very very wrong about one of the central life and death issues affecting each and every one of us.

They can’t deal with that.

Curt, I wrote out a long email in response to a friend of mine who is supporting Ron Paul, and who basically echoed the same talking points as the Paulbots did, regarding the Giuliani-Paul confrontation over 9/11.

Among the things I used were these passages from The Looming Tower:

On pg 46:

Even as the Americans were aiding the Mujahideen in fighting the Soviet aggressors in Afghanistan, Zawahiri expressed that America was “equally evil”.

Later he would write that he saw the Afghan jihad as “a training course of the utmost importance to prepare the Muslim Mujahideen to wage their awaited battle against the superpower that now has sole dominance over the globe, namely, the United States.

Do they hate us for our freedoms, like Giuliani said? Well, Sayyid Qtub certainly seemed to grow to despise our freedoms, our culture, our “corrupting” influence. And then from the other branch of Islamic militants is this on page 47 by Khomeini:

The specific target of his rage against the West was freedom. “yes, we are reactionaries, and you are enlightened intellectuals: You intellectuals do not want us to go back 1400 years,” he said soon after taking power. “You, who want freedom, freedom for everything, the freedom of parties, you who want all the freedoms, you intellectuals: freedom that will corrupt our youth, freedom that will pave the way for the oppressor, freedom that will drag our nation to the bottom.” As early as the 1940′s, Khomeini had signaled his readiness to use terror to humiliate the perceived enemies of Islam, providing theological cover as well as material support. “Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to paradise, which can be opened only for holy warriors!”
