Just Pissing Them Off

Often, we are told that the jihadis are just mad about Iraq, or some specific grievance based on American foreign policy, and that if only we didn't piss them off they wouldn't fly planes into our buildings or behead our people or blow up trains and subways.

So when the jihadis themselves don't go along with the West's Leftist script, it must be unsettling to the Leftists. What to make of the e-book that contains the latest jihadi hatefest:

The book, filled with calls for violence and hate for all but "true Muslims" -- a group that it says does not include Shiites -- surfaced on an Islamic Web site this week.

In case you want to be really dense, the jihadis clarify:

It calls the Shiite faith "a confession of polytheism and rejectionism."

And don't think that just because you are Sunni you are safe:

The group says its "doctrine and mission are clear and they can be summarized as our agreement to believe in and fight for the religion of God. We believe that those who follow these beliefs and the provisions of faith are true Muslims and anyone who denounces any of these beliefs and conditions is an infidel even if he still claims to be a Muslim."

Or this:

The e-book includes numerous sections totaling dozens of pages, covering such topics as how the Quran justifies beheadings and why democracy is wrong.

Well. Of course Western democracies are bad. But so too are Shias. Now we're cutting into Islamic populations. And of course even Sunnis who don't believe what the jihadis believe are bad as well. We're getting into pretty large numbers here. The article didn't mention them but I think we can safely assume the Jews are in the bad list, too. Oh, and don't forget Hindus. I assume that if most Sunnis are targets that Hindus are too. Quakers and Mormons aren't mentioned but the jihadis may not be aware of them yet. Just an oversight I'm sure.

Westerners with healthy guilt complexes for our wealth need to end the silly notion that any particular grievance can be corrected by our actions. The grievances the enemy cites are mere excuses to kill. Solve one and there will be another to take its place. Solve that and another pops up. If even Sunnis who don't like to behead and who want democracy are enemies of the jihadis, what hope do we have of getting on their good side?

Just kill them where we find them and don't lose any sleep over it. This is a fight to the death and our enemies aren't shy about proclaiming this belief even though they are but a tiny minority of Islam:

The document warns there will be no end to the insurgency. "The call for jihad goes on until doomsday, whether there is an imam calling for it or not."

I truly am amazed about the ridiculous crimes that piss off our enemies. And I'm amazed at the refusal of many in the West to be angry regardless of what our enemies do. The reservoir of understanding that the Western Leftist has seems to be infinite.

It's about time we all got pissed off about what they do and over what they want to do to us. Don't you think?
