Muslim extremists not only want to eradicate the lives of the dhimmi, they want to eradicate all historic record of the great civilizations. A call to remake civilization in the name of Islam. We watch. We tolerate. We submit

By word and deed Muslim extremists are terrorizing the West into submission-the meaning of Islam



We have watched as Western media pilloried Pamela Geller for creating an event that put the spotlight on the intolerance of Islam, especially in the West. Osama Siblani, publisher of “Arab American News,” the largest and most widely circulated Arab American publication in the United States stated: “Let me talk a little bit about ISIS. ISIS is a hate group exactly like Pamela Geller. She is drawing killers, she makes killers, she is inviting killers to come in.” … “She is worse than ISIS.” We allow Muslim extremists to attack free speech against Islamic practices while we tolerate the demeaning and denigrating of Christianity and Judaism in the name of free speech. Double standard? Or fear? Whatever the reason we are permitting others to destroy our democracy.
And now we are bystanders in the destruction of our own remarkable history. We are allowing the barbarians to destroy memory while we watch. We were warned decades ago when Israel began fighting against the destruction of history by Muslims destroying artifacts under the Temple Mount in Jerusalem in their attempt to eradicate the Jewish past in order to promote a Muslim future. In the 1980s the Waqf destroyed an ancient wall on the Temple Mount, probably from one of the courts of the Second Temple, (Herod's Temple) during an unauthorized dig. “The wall was six feet thick, and more than 16 feet of it was exposed, but the entire wall was quickly removed and the area covered before Israeli archaeological authorities could study it.” In September 2000, the Muslim Waqf closed off the Temple Mount entirely to any archeological oversight by the Israel Antiquities Authority and then removed 13,000 tons of rubble from the Temple Mount, including archeological remnants from the First and Second Temple periods. History was dropped into the dump. “The intention is to turn the entire 36-acre Temple Mount compound into an exclusively Muslim site by erasing every sign, remnant, and memory of its Jewish past, including the destruction of archeological findings that are proof of this past.” According to Palestinian Watch: “The Palestinian Authority continues to incite religious hatred, spreading the libel that Israel is in the process of destroying the Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

On the Temple Mount Jews are treated as criminals and the Muslims continue to harass and attack and destroy. While Muslims subverted the truth about the Temple verbally and physically and no one cared, the Taliban watched and learned and then demolished the fourth century Buddhas of Bamiyon in 2001. The world was shocked. Why the shock? Muslims had been destroying the past for decades. Perhaps destruction of truth in Israel is just not important. In March 2001, I watched CNN broadcast the attempts of the Taliban to destroy those Buddhas in Afghanistan. The Taliban tried assault rifles, stinger missiles and RPGS. Then came rockets, canons, all kinds of explosive devices. And we watched. And they succeeded March 10. And we said nothing. More importantly we did nothing. Where was UNESCO? Where is UNESCO? It seems UNESCO declared the Buddhas a world heritage site two years after their obliteration. Doing nothing just encourages the barbarians and so they entered the gate September 11, 2001. And now we are watching again as these barbarians attempt to wipe away millennia of exquisite art. Wipe away the record of civilization. Last July, ISIS demolished shrines cherished by Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike: the tomb of the Prophet Jonah in Mosul and the shrine of Prophet Seth, thought to be Adam and Eve’s third son. In February the deplorable scenes of ISIS militants toppling and smashing statues and carvings in Mosul’s museum “sent shock waves throughout the international community, providing insightful evidence of ISIS’s complete disregard for cultural property.” In March ISIS destroyed the ancient Assyrian archaeological site of Nimrud in Iraq dating back 13 centuries BCE. UNESCO described the act as a war crime. We are witnessing the sickening need by Muslims extremists to remove all remnants of history. The West and all the organizations established to protect and defend life and history have turned a blind eye to Muslims committing war crimes; from decapitating those who refuse to convert to obliterating the symbols of the civilized world. And we refuse to acknowledge the reason. FEAR. Our fear of intolerance has made it easier for the barbarians to destroy culture. It seems to me Muslim extremists not only want to eradicate the lives of the dhimmi, they want to eradicate all historic record of the great civilizations we created. It is a call to remake civilization in the name of Islam. And we watch. And we tolerate. And submit. Moses Mendelssohn (1729–1786), a noted German philosopher and the grandfather of composer Felix Mendelssohn, wrote that historical truths and events are only witnessed once. We learn of them through those who pass down the information. “Hence the respectability and the trustworthiness of the narrator constitute the sole evidence of historical matters. Without testimony, we cannot be convinced of any historical truth. Without authority, the truth of history vanishes with the occurrence itself.”
