The Still Unnamed Enemy

September 11, 2012 By 80 Comments

For Muslims, an attack on one Muslim by one infidel is an attack on all Muslims by all infidels. For Americans, an attack by one group of Muslims is not an attack by all Muslims. And for those on the left, there isn’t even the group solidarity with the victims of the attacks, but rather with the perpetrators who appear to share their desire to grind the American empire into dust.

We assume that Muslims think like us and they assume that we think like them.  We assume that they are not at war with us, because we are not at war with them. They assume that we are at war with them because they are at war with us. Each side projects its assumptions on the other and then reacts to what it would do in the other’s place.

With the coming of “The Day,” it is time for politicians to make their usual solemn proclamations. Obama will take his victory lap for the drone strikes against Al Qaeda leaders; a policy that dates back to 2002 utilizing a technology developed by Israel.

“We took the fight to al Qaeda, decimated their leadership, and put them on a path to defeat,” Obama boasted in his address. But what is Al Qaeda anyway? It’s an alignment of Jihadist fighters that can spring up anywhere. Taking out its senior leadership, as the United States has been doing for a decade, is useful, but there is no defeating Al Qaeda without addressing its Islamic goals and alliances.

Al Qaeda is not a nation or an isolated movement. Speaking of defeating it is as ridiculous as if the Soviet Union had focused on defeating the Kiwanis or the Elks. Al Qaeda is what happens when enough fighters come together and begin calling themselves Al Qaeda. They could just as easily call themselves something else and do. And when they begin calling themselves something else, as they do in Libya or Nigeria, we begin pretending that they aren’t Al Qaeda.

One of the defining characteristics of the Muslim world is the razzia, the raid. The raid used to require physical proximity, but with the jet plane it no longer does. We are all neighbors now and we all live next door to each other. And the raiders are coming. They have come for us before and they will come for us again for the nameless reason of religion and for the nameable one of power. They attacked us because they could and they will attack us again to show that they still can. They will attack us because they can make money and build a reputation doing it. And they will attack us because we are a big target full of life shining in the night.

    If I want to remember the dead I go to a place to do that. A terror beam people have to see every night is somehow 1984.

    1) Islam always attacks if it can, because it is its eternal agenda, in their books, for millennia.

    2) Becoming a drawback in the 19-20 centuries, Islam could not attack then. However thanks to our mindless oil trade in the 20th century, we empowered our deadliest enemies by transferring them the enormous wealth, by making wrong alliances with them, and GROWING OUR OWN POLITICAL CLASS OF COLLABORATORS WITH THEM (dhimmi class).

    3) It is our own enemy collaborators which introduce and maintain taboo on even mentioning the REAL enemy (as though too big to ever confront it). So the former USSR and Islam were allowed and invited to spread their world influence and to penetrate into our home.

    3) Yes, islam will attack us because now they really CAN – http://www.resonoelusono.com/Imminent.htm

    It is Saudis hands behind the 9/11 and behind our defeatist reaction on it: http://www.shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09…

      They have no choice, islam means submission.
      And the teachings they submit to demand it.

      9:29 Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low.

      Anyone that wants to understand why muslim activism always leads to violence needs to read surah 9. It has mandates that every militant and every muslim terrorist is using.

  • MikeWood

    Blimey Daniel, this is epic! You have nailed it again and again and again. You have delved into the true heart of the matter; I especially like this insight, "Each side projects its assumptions on the other and then reacts to what it would do in the other’s place." These unexamined assumptions are killing us.

    "I have always said that America is at war with al Qaeda and its affiliates,” Obama declared.

    I bet he hasn't ALWAYS said that. I bet he's only said that since the fall of 2001, assuming he said it that early.

    It's more likely that however long he's been saying it, it's been no sooner than since we invaded Iraq.

    I wonder if he was one of those tattered souls who said that we shouldn't go to war with the Taliban in Afghanistan (who were the people who harbored bin Laden and encouraged him to do the 9/11 terrorist acts, not al Qaeda) in the fall of 2001 because Ramadan was coming and it would be an act of disrespect to go to war then.

      And Obama did schedule our pull out from Iraq.
      Have you seen the casualties done there just recently?
      http://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/New-Iraq-at…

      There is blood on Obama's hands.

      • tagalog

        My position has been, ever since the days of my youth in the Vietnam era, that once you say you're pulling out, you have to get the troops out of there right away, no fooling around. No residuary force or occupation troops. Bring in the transports and get 'em out en masse. If you're not going to fight, get the fighters out right bloody now! If we're going to be diplomatic, send the diplomats.

        Yes, indeed there is blood on Obama's hands.

        • trickyblain

          Yet not nearly the amount as his predecessor, who has the blood of 5,000 Americans on his hands and that of countless tens-of-thousands of Iraqis. And for what? Why should American troops still be dying over there?

          • Jim

            I suppose you would also use that logic to say that Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt and all the other leaders of the free world at that time were guilty of the millions of deaths that ocurred during the second World War? Methinks that Freedom is NOT FREE and to keep it you must be prepared to defend it at all costs….
            Employing pansy politics and appeasement tactics to a barbaric and backward enemy is a waste of time and serves to cause many more casualties than prevent them…As far as Islam is concerned, the whole of the freedom loving world should kick these Left-wing Liberals into touch and then get together and go after Islam and its murderers with a vengeance…War should be total or it should be left alone.

          • tagalog

            President Bush's decision to send troops overseas to Afghanistan and Iraq had two virtues that declaring an end to hostilities without a victory doesn't: (1) President Bush and his staff came up with a credible response to the attack by Muslims on our airplanes, cities, and military facilities, and (2) they intended to put those troops where they were to WIN the battle.

            Bush's biggest mistake was not in failing to win those battles; indeed he won the battles. The insurgencies proved to be the difficulty. Back in the time, the U.N. and "pacifists" all over the world were clamoring for the United Nations to be in charge. President Bush should have turned Iraq and Afghanistan over to the U.N. as soon as our troops successfully toppled the Taliban and Saddam Hussein. He didn't and that was too bad.

  • Andy

    The ultimate irony would be for a Muslim to get Obama and since he took credit for killing Osama Bin Laden there must be a dozen fatwas out on him. His efforts on their behalf won't help him. He helped Mursi get in, he helped the radicals take over most of North Africa but they look at him as a useful idiot but in the interim, he is destroying America.

    • trickyblain

      I'm missing how that would be irony…

      • Jim

        Tricky…….Having a president who pretends to be your friend while doing everything he can to help the enemy?? If he was got at by a muslim it would be like you getting a guard dog to protect your property then that same dog turning round and attacking YOU….It's called "irony"…..Doh….

    Islam is the enemy of human beings. Period! Unless we recognize this we will never be able to fight the followers of this cult!!

    • US Muslim

      Very wise blanket statement. You sound like James Carville when he declared that "the American people are TIRED of the attacks on Pres. Bill Clinton". The truth was, only he was tired of the attacks.

      Islam is neither your enemy nor mine. But you have declared yourself to be an enemy of Islam. Now how do you intend to defeat it???

      • aspacia

        Many Muslims do use Islam to attack and murder unarmed civilians. Since 9/11 there has been 19,000 Muslim terror attacks committed in the name of Allah.

        Join Jasser's group and decry Islamism if you want to gain some credibility.

      • JoJoJams

        If you converted (reverted – lmao!) – you are a fool – plain and simple. Since the "extremists", encompassing millions, and sponsored by nations, use your "holy book" and the examples and edicts of your prophet to do the terrorism they do, you really are the fool to think that islam is just another "peaceful" religion. And you know nothing of history either. If you converted, leave. If you were born a muslim – I feel very sorry for your brainwashing. Islam is a death cult – and it proves it by its actions around the world. yes, there are millions of decent humans who call themselves muslims and are still decent humans DESPITE the edicts and tenets of islam, and despite the example of your "perfect man", but that doesn't mean islam is anything other than an evil cult. Of course, if you leave it, you will be an apostate and should be killed, per mad mo's own words! And how do you feel about slavery and sex slaves? All part of islam and the example of your perverse "prophet". Please seriously think about it – and leave that gutter religion.

      • Drakken

        How you defeat islam is very simple, complete and total war with no quarter. Islam has been an enemy of the west for 1400 years, it is finally coming to a head, it will be us against you.

    On a previous anniversary of 9/11 I wrote an article about how that days events might have been reported by the BBC, CNN or the Guardian if they used the same approach as they used to reporting terrorist attacks against Israel. Considering how the main stream media in the USA has presented stories about Islamic terrorism against the USA since 9/11 by trying to cover up the Islamic angle, I think it is now the case that this is not much different to how the 9/11 story would actually be presented by the main stream media in the USA today:

    • Stern

      That's a great article. Thanks for the link.

  • Schlomotion

    9/11 may be a intellectual caesura for Jewish nationalists and a big gaping hole in history that will never be closed until it is filled with Muslim skulls like the Khmer Rouge, but the rest of us normal people have moved on. We passed the 9 year mark. Now we passed the 11 year mark. I am still looking forward to the 49th sabbatical year jubilee commemorative and the Franklin Mint dishware with the planes crashing into a crying Eagle and American flag, but until that fine crockery comes out, Mr. Greenfield's elaborate portrait of Israeli drones crashing into unseen enemies will have to suffice.

    • Kufar Dawg

          Just curious, does people who openly side with jew hating muslims tire you out? Does it ever get boring not seeing what is happening and just opologize and grovel at the feet of savages in the hope they will spare you?

          • trickyblain

            I'm not siding with Jew hating muslims and never have. I've always defended Israel's right to exist and right to defend herself. I've always recognized the wonder and splendor the Jews have offered the world. What I don't do is incessantly and impotently threaten people online. Just asking why you do that — over and over and over…?

    • Pontotoc Bill

      Again, you attempt to smear Jews. You are a pathetic excuse for an American, if you are.

      Islam is responsible for more deaths and massacres than any other religion or movement.

    • poppakap

      Once again the anti-semitic troll-in-chief opens his ugly piehole. There is no end, rational or otherwise, to his ugliness when it concerns Jews or Israel. Tattooed the swastika to your forehead yet slow one?

      The rest of us normal people still remember 9/11 because innocent American citizens of all religions, races, and sex were murdered in cold blood by your dhimmi-loving friends from the religion of peace. That we insist on continuing policies to avoid this event from reoccurring in any context is worthy of the exercise until long after you are worm food.

      • Schlomotion

        I bet you spend a lot more time thinking about Islam than I do.

    • Ghostwriter

      Unbelievable,Schlomotion! Your repeated idiocy proves that you're a heartless monster as well as a complete idiot.

    • advocatus

      You're a smug, pathetic nonentity, Flippo, but your ignorant posturing of intellectual vigor and superiority continues to grate on my fine sensibilities so I can't help but address your rant yet again. Ah the horror! Ah the pain!

      So here goes:
      1) Learn your history, as I've pointed out to you on numerous occasions. To wit: there are no mounds of Khmer Rouge skulls in Cambodia, as you would have it. It was the communist Khmer Rouge that did all the killing. So the skulls on display at a memorial in Phnom Penh belong to those of their erstwhile victims.

      2) Learn English. Stop trotting out 5-cent words at random after looking them up in a thesaurus. To wit: define "intellectual caesura." More prosaically, also define "Jewish nationalists" in the context you're using the term.

      Carry on.

      • Schlomotion

        Per usual you are splitting a hair based on something I didn't say. I know the Khmer Rouge did all the killing. Secondly, buy a dictionary if you are lexically challenged.

        Incidentally (that means "by the way"), the money is not in the five cent word but rather in the quantity of words used. I think you meant 25 cent words.

        • advocatus

          If you meant the Khmer Rouge, you should brush up on your syntax and grammar, Flippo. Maybe English is not your first language, though, in which case my apologies.

          Don't try to dodge the point I raised by hissing like a peevish schoolgirl. Try to do better if you can. Again: define "intellectual caesura" in the context of your rant. And no, "caesura" is hardly a 25-cent word; it hardly qualifies as a 5-cent one, but I wanted to sound generous with you.

    • Omar

      Enough with your anti-Semitism, Schomotion. Atrocities committed by "Jewish nationalists" have always been condemned by the Israeli population and the worldwide Jewish community. Meanwhile, Islamists terrorists get cheered on by Hamas, Hezbollah and the Islamist regimes in the Middle East. That's the difference. While Israel condemns atrocities by whoever committed the crime, its enemies glorify the perpetrators if the perpetrator is an Islamist.

    • Beretta

      Shlomotion is a Muslim. The linguistic analysis of his sad, pathetic essays leaves no doubt that this is a small man with an equally small mind who found a cover behind a distinctly Jewish name to conceal his real identity. All the bs about being a home-grown US libertarian is just that – bs. Unreal.

  • Questions

    The Muslims stick their asses in the air five times a day to an invisible man in the sky called Allah, who in turn will give them the strength to kill as many people as possible whose only "crime" is not sticking their asses in the air giving praise to Allah. This religion gives me the creeps.

  • flowerknife_us

    The next one will be by professionals. Trained by Nation States for the job but kept under wraps. Their track record over time has been to escalate the impact. Most "Terror attacks" are small, localized events compared to 9/11.

    The next one will be a bit more technical and problematic. Multiple in scope to insure success. With all participants willing to martyr themselves.

    The first World Trade Center bombing shut down NYC for a day.

    9/11 shut down America for several days.

    Who is to say they would not go for long term shutdowns of North America/Europe/Japan.

  • KKKK

    i think we shall soon experience soemthing FAR WORSE at the hands of islam then 9/11. i jsut know it. tension with iran. continued conflcit with iran (lets face it). increasing anti-American sentimant in Muslim countries. all indications SOMETHING big will happen soon. the twin towers woke up about a thrid of the nation…what wil it take to walk up the remainder? our leaders refuse to recongize the fact that Al Qaeda is simply one among mnay jihadist groups with the same goal….sharia law and unviersal islamic government.

  • Ghostwriter

    It's a shame that far too many Muslims continue to blame the Jews for 9/11 instead of blaming themselves. But,I guess that's what happens when you see Americans as little more than insects.

    Question to Mr. Greenfield (I already know the answer from most of the keyboard warriors that post here). I doubt I'll get a reply.

    FPM authors are, in general, very slippery when it comes to the question of "all" Muslims. and even as you slam the administration for not naming the enemy, you don't specifically do so, either. You lead and suggest and you whisper. But you don't come out and say it

    So, in one word, who is the enemy, Mr. Greenfield?

    • Drakken

      Here, I'll help you. Islam is the enemy period, end of discussion. If you cannot see it, your deaf and blind to reality.

      • trickyblain

        Yeah, that's kinda obvious from my question, genius. Why do you think Greenfield and FPM won't come out and say it?

        • Drakken

          Well sunshine that is easy to answer, never give the left ammo for them to use against us, but with current events spiraling out of control there will be war soon and it will spill over to our western countries. Then you will see calls from all corners for open season on all of islam and its followers.

      There is nothing tricky. You just don't grasp it. When someone is busy deriving all the possible ways to insult his/her opponents, little time and thought is given to reading and comprehending the articles. These are journalists, unlike you. The "witty" Left constantly sharpen their sarcastic skills, and you are no different. So when you call a contributing author a "keyboard warrior", you are at the same time insulting yourself. Go to Huffington Post's website and spill your sarcasm there, tough guy.

    In order for America, Britain, Israel and the rest of the free world to emerge victorious in the global conflict against the unholy alliance of the far-left and the Islamists, they must identify properly who are our friends and who are our enemies, both at home and abroad. I will identify who are our friends and who are our enemies domestically in the United States, the United Kingdom and Israel (for each country, since these three countries have the best democratic systems in the world), while I will identify the three countries' friends and enemies internationally. In the United States, our friends (organizations) are AIPAC, Stand With Us, the Tea Party, the GOP, YAF, the Heritage Foundation, the Media Research Center (which operates NewsBusters), Citizens United, Fox News and other patriotic organizations. Our other friends (individuals) are Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Herman Cain, Richard Pipes, Humberto Fontova, Allen West, Marco Rubio, Susana Martinez, Larry Schweikart, Michael Allen, Ann Coulter, Michael Medved, Dennis Prager and other patriotic politicians and pundits. Our enemies (organizations) are MSNBC, Media Matters, Communist Party USA, ACORN (or whatever remains of it, since it is technically defunct), the National Action Network, the Nation of Islam, the Black Panther Party (both original and New), Pastors for Peace, the Workers World Party/International Action Center, the Revolutionary Communist Party, the Democratic Socialists of America, the former Weather Underground Center for Constitutional Rights, Occupy Wall Street, October 2011 (O-2011) organization, Adbusters, CAIR, the Muslim Students Association, the Islamic Society of North America, the (now defunct) Holy Land Foundation and other radical leftist and Islamist organizations in this country. Our other enemies (individuals) are Bill Ayers, Al Sharpton, Jeremiah Wright, Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, Tom Hayden, Ramsey Clark, Leslie Cagan, Medea Benjamin, David Brock, H.Rap Brown, Bob Beckel, Bonnie Raitt, Brian Becker, Luis Gutierrez, Leonard Weinglass, Kalle Lasn and other radicals. In the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (yes, Puerto Rico is a domestic topic since the island is a U.S. territory), our friends are pro-statehood organizations like the New Progressive Party, the Island's Republican Party, the Puerto Rico Statehood Students Association, the U.S. Council for Puerto Rico Statehood and any other pro-statehood organization. Our other friends (individuals) are Luis Fortuno, Thomas Rivera Schatz, Jennifer Gonzalez, Jorge Santini and other pro-statehood politicians on the island. Our enemies in the island are all the separatist groups (since all of them are Marxist and hate the United States) and all the separatist politicians like Juan Dalmou. In addition, the Popular Democratic Party (which favors the current "Commonwealth" status) and its politicians like Alejandro Garcia Padilla can also be regarded as enemies as well, though the PDP isn't anti-American and pro-totalitarian the way the separatists are. In the United Kingdom, our friends are pro-Unionist individuals (like David Cameron) and organizations (like the Conservatives) as well as the British Royal Family. Our enemies are separatist organizations (like the Scottish National Party), leftist individuals like George Galloway and Neil Clark and organizations like the British Communist Party and the Scottish Socialist Party (which is also a separatist organization) and influential Islamist organizations. In Israel, our friends are Caroline Glick and other pro-government individuals as well as organizations like Stand With Us Israel. Our enemies are those individuals and organizations who falsely blame Israel for atrocities that its enemies have committed. The U.S., the UK, Israel and the free world allies are friends in the struggle for freedom,democracy, peace and stability in the world. Despotic regimes like China, Cuba, Syria, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Sudan, North Korea, Iran and other repressive regimes are our enemies and they must be confronted and defeated in the free world's struggle against tyranny and terror. Hopefully, the free world be victorious in the struggle.

    Islam is an aggressive totalitarian ideology disguised as a religion. Refusal to identify Islam as an enemy of of the United States is as unbelievable as it is suicidal. Today's news from Egypt and Libya highlights the love Islam has for us and proves the Arab Spring idiocy is turning the Islamic Mid-East into a base for the Muslim Brotherhood. I'm sure the Obama Administration will take all this hate and violence in stride by shoveling more billions into the cauldron to help it succeed.

    "For Muslims, an attack on one Muslim by one infidel is an attack on all Muslims by all infidels."

    Exactly. It's a form of anarchy where almost anyone can incite believers to attack. We are being blackmailed in the end out of the fear of incitement. That empowers the anarchist attackers and fomenters.

    "I'm Barack Obama, and I empower our enemies through decisive leadership in their favor."

      >>"For Muslims, an attack on one Muslim by one infidel is an attack on all Muslims by all infidels."

      In a different cultural framework, this is the mindset of both the Hells Angels and the Italian Mob. In the Mob, if you kill a 'made man', they will kill you in return regardless of what your motive was. In the Angels, all Angels are expected to take the side of any Angel.

      This kind of thinking produces a body of people that you can not deal with on equal terms. Avoidance, submission, or war are your only choices.

    Islam is a totalitarian, militant, oppressive, misogynistic, bigoted, supremecist doctrine.

    Islam is the enemy.

    All Muslims revere the sociopathic genocidist warlord Muhammed.

    All Muslims are complicit with the enemy – the friendly Muslim down the street supports, aids and abets the same Islamic doctrine and dogma as the al-Qaeda or al-Shabab terrorist.

    We are not in a ‘War on Terror’.

    We are in THE ISLAMIC WORLD WAR.

    The war is not with Iraq or Afghanistan.

    The war is with Mecca.

      I admire Jasser. However, the Qu'ran does call for the murder of infidels. The Torah and New Testament do not. Islam needs reform, just as Judaism and Christianity reformed.

    • The Infidel Alliance

      Dear 'US Muslim',

      The problem is that when it comes to the important things, all Muslims DO think alike.

      All Muslims profess the shahada, consider the Koran the direct, immutable, unalterable word of Allah, and uphold Muhammed as an excellent model of conduct and al-insan al-kamil, the perfect man. This is true of the friendly Muslim down the street, a murderous traitor like Maj. Nidal Hassan MD, or the terrorist jihadist Osama bin Laden.

      So essentially, all Muslims believe the same thing, and when the terrorist Muslim pressures the friendly Muslim down the street to submit to Islam, we get the same result – beheadings, bombings, airliner attacks, murder and terror.

      You see, there is no reliable way to discern a peaceful Muslim from a jihadist, because they believe the same things. And, the 'peaceful' Muslim, just by being a Muslim, aids, abets and facilitates the expansion of Islamic ideology, which leads inevitably to death, oppression and subjugation.

    "to the shores of tripoli"——i wonder where they got that phrase. is it possible that americans of an earlier age recognized that we were at war with islam? only in our soft age when "going to war" means winning the hearts and minds of our most determined enemies, blaming ourselves for everything the enemy does, and turning treason into a national pastime is it possible to think, against all the evidence, that we are not at war with islam.we did not chose to be at war with islam, but we are.

    there are two ways to end the war with islam. one–destroy islam. eradicate it from the earth. ridicule the criminal prophet, his crime manual, and his evil invention, allah. the other way to be at peace is to accept islam. embrace it. become as evil as the prophet. rape, murder, rob, enslave, and torture, but always venerate the prophet (pbuh), and worship the god of pure evil. dont ask when we are going to choose which way to end the war with islam. we have already decided. we have already chosen option number 2–submission. our grandchildren will despise us for our cowardice, but what's a little cowardice when we can have peace in our time?

    The author tells us that Muslims will attack us again to "show us that they still can." Well, they're certainly taking their time about it. Meanwhile, the actual terrorist threat is so miniscule that the FBI has to manufacture terrorist plots just to keep itself busy. Every few months I hear of another motley crew of schizophrenics and intellectually challenged individuals that the FBI has persuaded to attempt a terrorist attack, just so it can say that it prevented one.

      the threat from islam is not terrorism. we will defeat the terrorists. the threat is muslim immigration and breeding, and they are winning that battle on all fronts,with unlimited aid and comfort from treasonous western governments. it would not help civilization at all if we could eliminate all the violent jihadis, if their nonviolent brothers in arms breed themselves into a majority, declare sharia, and genocide everyone who doesnt conform to their evil religion.

  • Mr. Polly

    That's government logic.
