This piece by Patrick J. Buchanan at CNS News, asks “Who Are We Fighting For?“. We also need to ask “what are we fighting for?” So a bunch of barbarians can continue slaughtering innocent people in response to a lone-wacko stunt on on the other side of the planet? So a twisted ideology that seeks to convert, subjugate or kill anyone who opposes it can continue its murderous rampage?

In the last two years, Christians have been burned alive by Muslims in Gorja, Pakistan, and by Hindu extremists in Orissa, India. Christian churches have been torched and scores of the faithful massacred on holy days in Iraq and Egypt. Few of these atrocities have received the media attention of the Rev. Jones’ stupid stunt or the Danish cartoonist’s irreverent scribbles.

Before America sends more of her sons to die for the freedom of Arabs and Muslims, perhaps we ought to have a better idea of what these folks intend to do with that freedom. For across that Muslim world, the faith that created our world, Christianity, is being persecuted and in some sectors annihilated.

Hey Pat, I think they just want the freedom to keep killing. The Religion of Peace website keeps a running body count(here.)

Might be time to start fighting for the survival of Western civilization.
