IRAQ WAR LOSS RATIONALE

J. Grant Swank, Jr.

Democracies will not win the war because Islam is a force that does not mesh with personal freedoms. There is no Islamic democracy in existence.

Islamic countries are ruled politically by the Koran, not a parliament-type politic.

Islam’s Koran encourages its devotees to slaughter one another in attempts to slaughter non-Muslims; therefore, daily slaughter will continue in Iraq until the last Muslim is dead. That means that non-Muslim democracy troops will never win the war for there will never come the time when there are no extremist Muslims in Iraq.

Islam is regarded by many as a religion; however, because its basic tenets decree the slaughter of non-devotees many non-Muslim theologians conclude Islam is more a killing cult than a religion among world religions.

No other world religion demands that those not devotees be slain; Islam demands that via the Koran.

There is no guarantee in Iraq that the citizenry will abide by parliament’s laws, even if they were democracy-based. However, there is a strong contingent even in parliament demanding that laws conform to the Islamic sharia "legal and justice system," not the time-honored, traditional democracy-base.

Street gangs rule Iraq more than elected officials. Street gangs align with the Koran’s paragraphs demanding slaying non-Muslims, also killing Muslims who may be in the way of slaying non-Muslims.

As to Islamic extremists reaching out to destroy democracies if multinational troops leave Iraq too quickly, Muslim sleeper cells are already housed in democracies worldwide. Sleeper cells don’t exist for peace; they exist for Islam World Rule.

If multinational troops do not win the Iraqi war for personal freedoms, there will be a bloodbath. But now there is a daily bloodbath. Non-Muslims are being slain. Troops are being slain. The killing increases, not decreases. Execution-style killings preceded by unbelievable torture are daily occurrences. They will continue for it is the "Muslim way" via Islamic extremists.

If an in-depth theological study of Islam had been made by the United States prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom, America and aligned nations would have realized that Islam is by no stretch of the imagination a "religion of peace." Yet that was voiced repeatedly by democracy leaders. That reveals the naivete of these leaders.

Further, the leaders’ naivete was expressed in such statements by President George W. Bush when he repeatedly stated that there was no reason why Muslims should not enjoy personal freedoms such as the citizens of the United States. That was a gracious reach-out on the part of Mr. Bush, but it did not line up with Islamic reality.

Now the free country leaders realize Islam basically is a force of "death and destruction," to use President Bush’s terms. He no longer refers to Islam as a "religion of peace." Nor does British PM Tony Blair.

Before a free country moves its military into another country, it would be prudent for its leaders to study the country’s major religion to conclude whether the religion controls the country or is a compartment among other compartments.

Further, such a study will show whether the so-called religion is actually a religion among world religions or a killing cult.

What Operation Iraqi Freedom has shown the free countries is that Judeo-Christian heritages have formed democracies. For instance, wherever the British Empire stretched around the world, it planted churches, Bibles, worship of Christ as Redeemer, personal accountability before an Eternal Judge, an afterlife of heaven or hell, and the biblical ethic.

It is the Judeo-Christian heritage that best formulates a personal freedom culture. The Judeo-Christian holy writ, the Bible, lays out morality bases for establishing laws, justice, education, family, marriage, community, medical assistance and generic hope.

In Judeo-Christian heritage countries the biblical message of compassion has been worked out in establishing colleges, schools, hospitals, clinics, dispensaries, churches, shelters for the poor, programs for the destitute, caring apparatuses for the less fortunate and more.

These taken-for-granted expressions of Christian compassion are missing in non-Judeo-Christian heritage countries. This is particularly so in Islamic countries.

There the sharia "legal system" is honored. This system demands "honor killing," demeaning of females from birth till death, male dominance in the culture, lashing youths at public poles, burying adultery-accused in dirt up to the neck followed by bashing in the head via stones, the sizes prescribed in the Koran, as well as genital mutilation of young females.

This barbarism is not tolerated in Judeo-Christian heritage countries because of the biblical morality ensconced therein.
Free country leaders assumed the Judeo-Christian heritage base would be transferable to Iraqis once Saddam Hussein was toppled.

Now they realize such transference is impossible because Iraqi society is governed by a cultic Islam, not a democracy-based understanding of government.

Interestingly enough, Judeo-Christian heritage countries have taken this heritage so for granted over time that their leaders have assumed naively that such a grand heritage will be adopted by any other nation simply by its citizenry "seeing the light."

Iraqis are not in the mood to "see the light" of Judeo-Christianity. In fact, this is the heritage most despised. Therefore, there will be no democracy plant in Iraq.

The democracy-based multinational forces will not win the war there because of the nature of the country’s wedding to Islam as politic.
