I am not a Palestinian expatriate. I am a true blooded Lebanese, who have fought, bled and watched dear friends and relatives die in a war against Islamic fundamentalism, Palestinian, Arab, Iranian and every other fanatic force in the world while most of you turned your back on Christians in Lebanon and wished the images will not come over the TV. The West so eager to see a “Democratic” Lebanon cut deals with Syria, Iran and all the Arabs at Lebanon’s expense. Obama will not be the first one.
I continue to fight against Islamic fundamentalism and dictatorship. I have not drunk from Hizbullah’s cup (whatever that may be) I remain on the list of wanted by both Hizbullah and Syria, and by transition Iran.
My note to my friend was not intended for all of you.
But, I ask you. You talk of liberals not willing to take their own side. How many Christians in this world are willing to take their own side? Iraqi Christians are being eradicated right under the noses of our soldiers and nothing happens. Jerusalem and Bethlehem the birthplaces of Christianity are being emptied of Christians and nothing.
Lebanon the place of Christ’s first two miracles, the birthplace of three of Christ’s disciples and the place where we were first called Christians is the last place were Christians still have their rights in the Middle East is under siege and all you do is advocate wiping it off the face of the earth.
The Islamic “friends” of the US – Saudi Arabia, Turkey, etc – deny Christians any rights. In fact converting to Christianity in all Moslem countries is a capital crime. Yes, they will put you to death for becoming Christian.
Have any of you ever considered lending even a meager hand to Middle Eastern Christians. While all of you are willing to die in defense of Israel, are you even willing to save the life one Christian, even if it does not entail any risk.
Have any of you ever met a Moslem Fundamentalist or a terrorist? Have any of you ever looked the devil in the eye?
I have looked the devil in the eye and lived to tell about it. And, I consider name calling from coach potato war mongers as a badge of honor.
I wonder if any of you have ever lived through war. Has any of you watched little kids die or cry in bomb shelters as war raged so loud that you could not hear yourself think for days and days? Have any of you watched people gone hungry due to monstrous sieges? Have any of you listened to screams of the wounded in the streets while you had no ability top help, where you began to hope they will die so they will be quite?
Having experienced the horrors of war, I know the true value of peace. Clearly you do not.
What I find sickening is that instead of talking about ways to help people, all you are discussing with great pride are ways to kill millions of people, without batting an eye. Some have gone so far as to advocate Israel kill more than a billion people and threaten to wipe out another few billion (all nuclear powers).
Have any of your brilliant minds considered that this will include the US (a nuclear power) and all of you?
What is humorous and naïve is the belief that Israel can actually do all that, and that all 1.5 billion Moslems will simply die out without the ability to do anything. And, all other world powers will follow.
Six million people will wipe out Six Billion people at will.
What is truly insane is the belief that expressing the willingness to kill all Moslems will somehow earn us Moslem friends who will actually help us do this.
What world do you live in and how long did it take you to create it?
You need to stop and think about who you are taking your queues from. Threatening the whole Moslem population only makes fundamentalists more credible and more powerful, as they point to these threats to prove that they are right to fight us.
The Saudi Government is much more fanatic than Iran’s Government. They have been the primary suppliers of Al-Qaida and other fanatics who have attacked us on many fronts including 9/11. It was the Saudis who started the war against Lebanon’s Christians long before Khomeini came to power in Iran.
It is important to note that as I fought fundamentalists I have also witnessed acts of extreme kindness and humanity from many Moslems. Some went to the extent of stepping between me and a loaded gun, without asking for anything in return. Those are the people we should be reaching to undermine fundamentalism. Threatening them with mass destruction is not the means.
Do any of you have any idea what you are talking about?
What I have seen and know about all this will make your stomach turn. If you knew the truth about all these fanatics, who finances them, why and how, you will probably never sleep again.
