The Real War

There are some in the West who prefer to view Osama bin Laden as some kind of Arab Robin Hood, but Osama and his fellow jihadists are utopian, totalitarian, and anti-Semitic. The jihadists want the world for Islam, albeit one slice at a time. Why? Because their God told them in the Qur’an that it is theirs, and that they are the best people on the Earth. The jihadists believe that it is their sacred duty to secure the world for their faith, and for their God. And once they have, everyone—both Muslim and non-Muslim—will live within the behavioral boundaries established by Shar’ia in a global khalifate. Jihadists view the misguided Christians and Jews, and most especially the latter, as committed enemies, hell bent on thwarting the attainment of this Muslim millennium and, in the service of Satan himself, destroying Islam. Osama and his followers believe that on the Final Day of Judgment even the trees and rocks will reveal their inborn hatred of the Jews and point them out to the Muslims so that the last of the Hebrews may be slaughtered. The totalitarian and anti-Semitic aspects of Islamism and the jihadists are so obvious that American white supremacists have developed a sudden attraction to jihad and a favorable view of Islam. In the fall of 2005 David Duke toured and spoke in Syria, and in March 2006, when John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt published their controversial article “The Israel Lobby” in the London Review of Books, the former Klansman’s website proudly proclaimed: “Harvard Researchers Adopt David Duke’s View of Iraq War.” The website for Aryan Nations now includes an Arabic slogan beneath its banner and elsewhere members speak openly of an “Aryan jihad.” The organization now has a “Minister of Islamic Liaison,” who explained the reasons for the budding alliance.

[W]e both share the same enemies—such as Zionism, Democracy, Globalization, Capitalism, Communism, Freemasonry, Liberalism, Feminism and all the other jew bastard creeds—and this makes it even more necessary that we see each other as allies so as to defeat our common enemies. The benefits to such an alliance between Muslims upholding the authentic Salafi Jihadi creed and the Aryans upholding National Socialism are too numerous to mention here, but let it be stated that there already exists a strong historical precedence for such an alliance in history.

We Muslims who uphold the ideals of the Salafi da’wah, Islamic revivalism, Jihad in the Cause of Allah and the rebuilding of Khilafah have the same spiritual ancestors who show us the path towards success in both this world and the Hereafter. These include Imam Hasan al-Banna Shaheed (d. 1949), founder of the Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen (Muslim Brotherhood), and Mohammad Amin al-Husseini (d. 1974), the Grand Mufti of Al-Quds (Jerusalem)—may Allah have mercy upon them both. These two great men already showed us the way from their alliance with the honorable warriors of National Socialism in Germany and Europe.

Jay Farber, “pastor” of Aryan Nations, dismissed those who questioned the group’s “alliance with Islam” as “Biblically Illiterate itiots [sic] with the IQ of the roving bands of savage negro beasts shooting their own rescuers in New Orleans.” “Our alliance is Biblically acceptable,” he explained, “as well as acceptable from the Querran [sic]. Death to the jew, peace be upon the Islamic Jihadeen [sic].”

If the members of Aryan Nations can recognize the reality (appealing to them) of the jihadists, why do so many others in the West refuse to see the obvious? This is "the real war"--the West against jihadism. And until the West achieves a consensus recognizing this reality, the war will continue and grow ever more barbaric.
