TROP: 12/13/05
Here's a
hypothetical scenario: Coalition forces in Iraq find out where
Western hostages are being held and have an excellent chance of
rescuing them, although it would mean killing their captors in the
process. Proceed with the rescue?
If these are average hostages, then the answer is 'Absolutely!'
Islamic terrorists have not the slightest desire to abide by the
Geneva Convention, which forbids both the capture of civilians and
the execution of enemy combatants in uniform, nor does the global
Muslim community harbor such moral expectations. As a result,
the fate of hostages in Muslim hands is generally an old school
throat-cutting or beheading, as videotape rolls and the butchers
praise their bloodthirsty God and quote from the Qur'an.
But the four "Christian Peacemaker" captives earlier in the month
are not ordinary hostages. If a rescue effort was successful,
and their captors killed, these pacifists would most certainly spend
the rest of their meager lives condemning both their own "deadly"
liberation and the broader operation to liberate Iraq from such
terrorists.
These four individuals are the textbook definition of 'dhimwits' -
TROP's term for Westerners who act as if they want to be dhimmis
(religious minorities under Muslim subjugation). Their
organization is even assuring the terrorists that they wouldn't dare
talk about their theoretical Christian faith while in Iraq.
They are completely deferential and docile... harmless dhimmis ready
to pay the jizya.
They went to
Iraq not to condemn the Sunni terrorists who bomb innocent
men, women and children, but rather the security forces that work to
keep this from happening. They went preaching their message of
"peace at any price." If it means letting the bad guys win,
turning the country into a brutal terror State, then so be it.
If this, in turn, means that people around the world are less
secure, then so be it. For these dhimwits, terror means
grievance and grievance means legitimacy, particularly if Western
countries can be held responsible - regardless of what must be
ignored to contrive moral superiority under such poor conditions.
Meekly allowing
another's aggression to run its course might be a decent strategy
when it comes to surviving a holiday dinner at the in-laws', but
pacifism is a suicidal foreign policy precept. Religious
dhimwits such as these "Peacemakers" are Evolutionary dead-ends -
surviving to reproduce solely because of the sacrifices of others
past and present.
Such myopic
individuals never think about the consequences of appeasement or the
hard decisions that have to be made to protect innocent people
against those who are evil. They don't believe in evil, in
fact.
This naivety
will only be reinforced when their captors release them - as they
almost certainly will in the face of universal (and
uncharacteristic) calls to do so from fellow Sunnis who know the
damage that would be done by their murder. Muslims know that
it's far better that these men be released to laud their captors and
condemn America, than to risk the hard reality of the nature of
Islamic terror sinking a little deeper into the Western
consciousness.
With this in
mind, TROP has decided to balance the debate with a public plea for
the captors to afford no special treatment to these hostages.
Our message: Cut their throats as you normally would, by
videotaping the carnage and praising Allah as you quote from the
holy book of Islam. No doubt each dhimwit will be happy to shout the
praises of your cause with you, right up to the moment that their
vocal cords are severed. "This is for the people of Iraq.
George Bush is cutting my throat! Allah Akbar... (gurgle)..."
Show the world that you are as stupid as you are brutal by killing
the very people who enable you. Give their peers an
opportunity to consider the future they're working to bring about.
Reinforce (for the rest of us) the understanding that there is true
evil in the world, and you are the personification of it. Give
us a reason to drop the unilateral restraints that work to your
advantage in the War on Terror and go back to fighting the way we
used to fight when we won wars rather than abandoned them.
This is a critical time for the Middle East. The Jordan hotel
bombings have wiped the smiles off a few of those Sunni faces (who
weren't terribly concerned when the victims were infidel and Shia).
Sunnis in Iraq are now participating in the electoral and rebuilding
process. 70% of the country is optimistic about their lives.
The "insurgency" has shrunk to less than 20% of the country, and the
only real gains are being made in the U.S. Congress.
Martyring dhimwits at this point would only contradict their cause,
and do harm to yours, thus saving lives in the long run.
So just do it.
