Boko Haram and the Jihad in Africa
10th May 2014
The Other McCain reminds us of an inconvenient truth.
If the news of the Boko Haram abductions was shocking, it was because the American media have been so busy promoting the Obama administration’s narrative that, since the death of Osama bin Laden, the threat of Islamic terrorism has essentially ended. This narrative is politically convenient for Democrats, but as with most such narratives, it’s a gigantic lie. There are still many millions of Muslims in the world who hate us and want us all dead, and many of them are willing to take up arms to accomplish that goal.
Reminder for the dimwitted: Islam is an oppressive totalitarian ideology in the guise of a religion, with which no co-existence is possible. You can cry ‘Peace! Peace!’ but if one side wants war, it’s war.
