Thanks, Dad!

The following is an e-mail which I received from my Dad today.  He had wanted to post it as a comment to the preceeding post, but due to it's length, had called to ask me if the blog could "accept" such a lenthy comment.

Any comment worthy of such a phone call, especially from my Dad, is worthy of it's own post.  There are two sections to his mail.  The first is an article he is calling to my attention.  And the second, which I have marked in blue, is his note which accompanies that article.

So, with no with no further ado.........enjoy!

It is vitally important that Americans of all backgrounds understand that much of today's anti-Semitism, while aimed at Jews, stems from a belief system that equally rejects American and indeed Western civilization as a whole.

In an imfamous fatwa issued in February-1998, Osama bin Laden called on Muslims to kill Christians and Jews throughout the world--not just military personnel, but civilians--because we have seized and occupied Arab land. Our treachery, bin Laden claims, started with the Christian conquest of Andalusia from the Muslim caliphs in the 13th century!

On state-sponsored Al-Jazeera television, protrayed complacently as the "CNN of the Arab world" by mainstream media organizations in the United States and Europe, bin Landen and Muslim preachers who openly sympathize with him spread  their message to the Arab masses and intellectual elites. Murdered Americans are not victims but oppressors who are the legitimate targets of holy war, they argue. Those who die while killing us are blessed of Allah. For as long as they are physically capable, bin Laden and his followers will strike at America. To their mind, September 11 was Just an opening act.

The above paragraphs are direct quotes from "Preachers of Hate" by

Kenneth R. Timmerman. Graphic type change and color are my act, not

from the book. OBTW...Timmerman is not Jewish.

The book is powerful reading....I suggest you find the time to get it and read it,

and no, I have no int. in the book, I don't even personally know the man.

Seems like a good and necessary read to me.  It's on the "buy" list!

Thanks, Dad!

One small correction. The leftists are wrong when they say that Al Jazeera is the CNN of the Arab world; CNN is Al Jazeera in the west.
