The slippery slope of appeasing terror
US Attorney General Loretta Lynch tried to hide from the public the transcript of the Orlando terrorist’s 911 call announcing that his killings were to the glory of allah and his allegiance to the Islamic State. Lynch told NBC News’ Meet the Press Sunday, June 19, that a transcript of the call would be released, but it would not contain the references to “this man’s pledges of allegiance to terrorist groups.” The “president” also omitted any reference to radical Islam alluding to the Orlando, saying “there is no magic to the phrase ‘radical Islam.'” Tuesday, Lynch addressed a crowd in Orlando saying that “Our most effective response to terror and to hatred is compassion, it’s unity and it’s love.” Really?
This “president” and his administration took the US on a journey with Islam starting with the “president’s” New Beginnings speech in Cairo on June 4, 2009. Among many false statements about the historic relationship between Islam and America, the “president” punctuated his falsehoods, saying, “America is not-and never will be-at war with Islam.” The New York Post’s Paul Sperry writes, “America has now averaged one serious Islamic terrorist attack a year on [sic] the president’s watch, yet he still insists the threat from radical Islam is overblown and that he’s successfully protecting the nation.” The Administration’s love, honor, respect, cover-up approach to defeating terror is only emboldening terror.
After public outcry, the Justice Department and the FBI had to reverse Lynch’s course and release the full transcript of the Orlando terrorist’s 911 call. In explaining why, the joint statement read: “The purpose of releasing the partial transcript of the shooter’s interaction with 911 operators was to provide transparency, while remaining sensitive to the interests of the surviving victims, their families, and the integrity of the ongoing investigation. We also did not want to provide the killer or terrorist organizations with a publicity platform for hateful propaganda.” When does a partial transcript provide transparency? Also within minutes of the attack, Islamists used it as propaganda without any transcript. Empty words.
The idea that Islam can be defeated with love; the pledge that the US will never be at war with Islam; the redacting of the words about Islam from terrorist transcripts; all point to an appeasement strategy that the history of Islam proves is impotent. Further, substituting “God” for “allah” only signals submission to Islam by the nation with the largest population of Christians on earth. This administration’s policies on Islam are a death threat to every law-abiding citizen. As written in Jeremiah 6:14, “They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.” Some translations say they offer only superficial treatment for the destruction of the daughter of my people. In short, this administration may not be at war with Islam, but Islam is at war with us. And, maybe, so is this administration.
