Everyone has their opinions on what to do about terrorism. Some are alarmists who want to ban guns or at
least legislate them even further.
Others are bigots who want to blame all Muslims for the acts of a
relative few. Both of these approaches
are constitutionally dangerous and will further limit the rights of Americans
across the board.
Terror attacks are causing many to jump to quick conclusions
and make rash decisions that will, and do, affect the rights and freedoms that
are enjoyed by all Americans. If politicians
can single out one group, what keeps them from singling out others?
Look at what our government did to Japanese-Americans during
WWII. They were put into internment camps
because fear was allowed to rule. These
were law-abiding citizens whose only crime was their ancestry.
Now, we are dealing with an ideology. We are looking at a threat that is global in
nature and is not so cut and dry as ancestry.
However, that does not mean that fear should be allowed to shape our
reaction to the threat. We do not need
to resort to Nazi tactics or answer evil with evil.
So, what do we do?
Start at home. There are terror groups in this country, being trained on
our soil, and the government knows exactly where they are. The government knows the radical ideology behind
these groups. These are the ones that
need to be targeted. Here is where the
network can be undone. But, our
government will not/cannot do anything about them because “they have not done
anything yet.”
Our own president refuses to acknowledge terrorism and call
it what it is. Nothing can be done until
the groups that are perpetrating and facilitating these acts are called what
they are and stopped in their tracks.
That means shutting down these domestic camps. Strike them where they are and disband these
fledgling cells before they become full-fledged terrorist cells that will carry out their jihadist mission on
our soil.
In the meantime, continue to pray for our country, our
leaders, and one another. God bless
America.
