HIJACKERS OR TRUE TO ISLAM?
As an outsider and cheerleader for America’s war on terror I stand baffled at America’s treatment of detainees at GITMO. The President and pun dints alike have claimed that these terrorists have hijacked Islam. There are only two classifications to place the detainees under; either they are true practitioners of Islam or Hijackers of Islam. Whatever your opinion of classification is we must reach consensus on which they are. If theses terrorists have hijacked Islam one can only conclude that their current practice of Islam is a fraud thus negating any responsibility for prayer rugs, culturally sensitive food and any other religious sensitivity provided by the U.S. government. I can only surmise if this is a hijacked version of Islam then the U.S. government is aiding and abetting terrorists by allowing them to continue their false religious practice that caused them to act out violently in the first place. Also any Muslim outsider shouldn’t be concerned with the detainees as they are only hijackers and not true practitioners of Islam and anyone decrying foul should be dismissed as a fellow hijacker of Islam and not to be dealt with. If the terrorists are true practitioners of Islam then this is a bigger issue. We would still have to conclude that any aid in practicing their religion would aid them in reaffirming the faith that led them to terrorism. You can’t have it both ways. They’re either Hijackers or true practitioners of Islam and neither would be deserving of our continued support. It’s time to take the gloves off and let the world know that; any religion that allows you to behead, blow up or terrorize your fellow humans is no religion at all. The American government cannot continue to take the middle ground because the middle ground means providing and promoting the religion that detainees claim fueled their obsession to act in violence.
God Bless America
