« How I Spent Inauguration Day | Main | Is it "Anti-Muslim" To Tell the Truth? » January 21, 2005A Religious War?Donald Sensing says President Bush's inaugural speech yesterday "draws the battle lines even more sharply" between us and our "medieval" enemy, radical Islam... I have been saying for a long time the war against radical Islamism is a religious war, even though we of the West think we fought our last religious war centuries ago. Two proclamations from authorities on both sides this week illustrate it to the point of proof.Sensing says one line from Bush's speech summarized the entire speech. Which line? This one: So it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world.But our enemy - radical Islam - believes democracy is "stands in opposition to the religion of Allah." Sensing, again: Our enemies wish us lethal harm, have present means to inflict it and seek means to deliver mass destruction to our shores. There is a large, well-funded terrorist organization, active in many nations, possessed of men who will die to achieve their aims. Sept. 11, 2001 and terrorism in Iraq prove that they have the will to do so. If Iran's mullahs or North Korea are not actual allies already, they will be, especially if we give them or their successors years and years to do so. The campaign against terrorism is foundationally a contest of wills - and dare I say it, a spiritual struggle.Read the whole thing. Posted in War on Terror
