Despite the immense powers at its disposal, who or what scares America?..
The answer lies in the basic message of an official statement from Paul Bremer in Baghdad who declared that US will “veto Islamic law in Iraq.”
Daniel Pipes is one hundred per cent right when he says war on terrorism makes no sense....the US pretends that the enemy is terrorism “because it finesses some delicate questions about Islam, thereby making it easier to build an international coalition or minimize domestic repercussions.”..Accordingly, “Muslims have been the leading enemy of Christians for more than a millennium, remain so now and will long continue to fill this role....War on Islam was for nearly two millennia a European phenomenon; now it is basically an American one.
Fingering Islam directly, in short, neither explains the problem with Washington nor offers a solution. So, finger what undermines the status quo of the elite that rules the world. That approach calls for publicly declaring that Islam itself is not the issue....isolate Muslims who resist surrendering to the laws of global elite...Daniel Pipes suggests: “Fight it militarily, diplomatically, legally, intellectually and religiously. Fight it...everywhere.” Muslims clinging to their faith and Qur’an are labeled as “evil.” In Pipes’s view, “such euphemisms in wartime can be beneficial,” because it “shied away
from specifics lest they tie its hands.”
The beauty of Daniel Pipes write ups is that he does not twist words like Bush or Friedman....As a result, to neutralize what scares America the most — the application of Islam; the essence of Qur’an and Sunnah— Shari’ah has been reduced to a curse....
