St. Michael, Defend Us

My blood is hot today. I woke this morning to the news that some 21 young Asian (the MSM is oh-so-cautious about identifying middle-easterners as Muslims) men were arrested, foiling their plans to destroy as many as 10 US commercial aircraft operating transatlantic UK-to-US service from London Heathrow and at airports throughout the UK. It seems the terrorists planned to use liquid explosives disguised as beverages and other common products and detonators disguised as electronic devices. The deputy commissioner at Scotland Yard, Paul Stephenson, noted that the plans amounted to "mass murder on an unimaginable scale."

This coincides with, and could, ostensibly, be connected to, the story breaking yesterday that two men were arrested in Ohio on charges of money laundering on behalf of Hezbollah. The two men, Ali Houssaiky and Osama Abulhassan, were also charged with obstructing justice for lying to police about their purchases of large numbers of cellular phones, mostly untraceable Tracfones. Tracfones and similar devices are considered suspicious items as they might be used by terrorists to detonate explosive devices.

Can any Muslim be trusted? Have to say, my take at this moment is no. Fact is, I wouldn’t want to be the rag-headed camel jockey that crosses my path today. There is a part of me, deep down, that wants to collect all of them here in the U.S., and put them in an internment camp, as we did the Japanese during WWII. There is a part of me that wants to see Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and anywhere else these hate-mongering practitioners of the “religion of peace” happen to populate ‘turned into glass’ (GI talk for what happens when a mostly sand-covered region is subjected to nuclear explosions).

Fortunately, there is a stronger part of me that knows that the only way to beat the Muslim is to temper the war against Islamist terrorism with Christian love and prayer for their conversion. This will take a unique kind of warrior, not known in large quantity since the end of the Crusades. One who is a fearless warrior with a pure heart, totally dedicated, and ruthless on behalf of the faith. Are there enough good men left in the world to accomplish this task?

I know one such man.

BWH:

In case I wasn't clear, I was not referring to myself. Check the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 17, Verse 5 for a really good clue, though.
