Holder, you're late! (again)

.
Recently Attorney General Eric Holder, an Obama appointee, commented about his views about Muslim activities in America. His remarks were startling to me.

According to Holder, "The threat is real, the threat is different, the threat is constant. The threat has changed … to worrying about people in the United States, American citizens—raised here, born here, and who for whatever reason, have decided that they are going to become radicalized and take up arms against the nation in which they were born. It is one of the things that keeps me up at night. You didn't worry about this even two years ago—about individuals, about Americans, to the extent that we now do."

And he went on to say, "In the last two years, 50 of the 126 people charged with terrorism through out the world were U.S. citizens."

His comments were odd to say the least. Was he so naive to think that radical Islam was never a threat to America until two years ago. What about 9/11? Most of you (including the Obama appointee) should know that Islamic ideology has that it allows for absolutely no national allegiance.

To think that Holder only just now is coming to believe that Islam, as a whole, has become so radicalized should have been a concern since 9/11—nearly a decade ago, not two years ago.

It should have been a concern when it became obvious when so many American Muslims were turning to violent jihad. The fact that Americans are being radicalized not only is a concern in America, but it also suggests that American efforts in the Muslim world are doomed to fail.

After all, if American Muslims, who enjoy Western benefits, including democracy, liberty, prosperity, and freedom of expression, are still being radicalized, why then do we insist that importing these same benefits to the Muslim world will eliminate it?

How was it that we believed that all the sacrifices America makes in the Muslim world will pay off once Muslims discover how wonderful our Western ways are, and give it up? We need to rethink our strategy for the war on terrorism. In America, it means cracking down on anything that smells like Islamic activity, without fear of being "politically incorrect." Overseas, it means that the solution to war; spreading Western values and ways of governance, is no solution at all.

Our solution is to secure our borders and care for our own. Islam will destroy itself.
