But seriously… Defenders of the government’s policy insist these measures are required for our own safety. We know what Franklin said about trading liberty for security. Jefferson put it this way: “I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.”

Despite fearful rhetoric to the contrary, terrorism is not a transcendent threat. A terrorist attack cannot possibly destroy a country’s way of life; it’s only our reaction to that attack that can do that kind of damage. The more we undermine our own laws, the more we convert our buildings into fortresses, the more we reduce the freedoms and liberties at the foundation of our societies, the more we’re doing the terrorists’ job for them.

The central fact is that overwhelmingly suicide-terrorist attacks are not driven by religion as much as they are by a clear strategic objective: to compel modern democracies to withdraw military forces from the territory that the terrorists view as their homeland… Since suicide terrorism is mainly a response to foreign occupation and not Islamic fundamentalism, the use of heavy military force to transform Muslim societies over there, if you would, is only likely to increase the number of suicide terrorists coming at us.

A massacre in a church in Baghdad and the Oklahoma vote against Shariah law. To the average American, these two events could not possibility be connected in any way, shape or form.

Yet the attack upon Christians, not only in the church of Our Lady of Salvation in Baghdad on October 31 but also in Nigeria, Indonesia, Algeria, Egypt and elsewhere, is a form of Islamic interpretation of Shariah.

Islamic Jihad (which President Obama refused to define let alone condemn when asked about it in Mumbai recently) dictates that if an infidel refuses to convert to what jihadists perceive as the “one and only true religion,” then killing them is a virtue.

This is part of the strict Islamic interpretation of the Shariah. And it is this Shariah law that many Muslim jihadists in Europe and the United States want to see as part and parcel of court proceedings in the West.

Fair-minded Westerners may ask, “What’s wrong with that?”

Simply put, it is the camel’s nose under the tent (which is also a mode of Shariah interpretation). First, it is allowing the Shariah to be applied by judges when they are ruling in Muslim cases. This ultimately will lead to full-blown acceptance, or should I say imposition, of Shariah law upon ALL Western citizens.

Far fetched?

When Muslims invaded former Christian lands in North Africa, the jihadists said they were coming only as liberators from the bad Romans. This referred of course to the Byzantines, or the eastern part of the Roman Empire. But within a few decades, the camel that put his nose under the tent took over the tent, and today there are hardly any Christians left in that part of the world. They were methodically and systematically forced to convert or eliminated.

Islamic lobbying groups successfully found a politically correct judge to bring an injunction against the will of the Oklahoman people, who voted 70 percent against the use of Shariah law in their state courts.

Oklahomans saw what is happening in New Jersey and elsewhere. Judges are using the Shariah to allow Muslim men to abuse their wives (a practice that is not only permitted but encouraged in the Islamic world), and citizens of the Sooner State wanted to be pro-active. But alas, the politically correct courts (who in my opinion will help bring about the demise of Western civilization) are overruling the will of the people.

Oklahomans and citizens of every other state should not be left exposed by the federal government. Had we been so blessed to have a federal government committed to defending the rights of 98 percent of Americans, it would have taken the initiative to guarantee that there are no cracks in U.S. law that could lead to another Baghdad-type massacre — perhaps on American soil. The people of this great nation must be strong enough and smart enough to stop the camel from sticking its nose under our tent.
