Let me preface this by saying that there are a great many things that are inimical to the Human Race, and at the same time all too common to us if we persist in our inborn ignorance.

One of them is stupidity (or if you like the KJV, brutishness) according to God’s word (Jeremiah 51:17) :

All mankind is stupid, devoid of knowledge; Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols, For his molten images are deceitful, And there is no breath in them (NASB)

What this means in practical terms is that idolatry and stupidity are closely tied together; one is the result of the other.

In similar fashion, neither Persians or Arabs are limited suffering according to the confounding stupidity that is the worship of Allah (who, by the way, was originally the moon god idol of a particular Arab tribe thousands of years ago).

I say again: Islam is not just an Arab or Persian disease. It is a disease of humanity, which has been largely contained in the West by the light of God’s word revealed first to the Jews, and then to all who would believe in the Gentiles’ world (at the time, Asia Minor and Mediterranean Europe, from which it spread around the known world in several generations).

That being said, I came across a post over at the Gateway Pundit which was dicussing the arrest and capture of over a dozen Islamist radicals who were plotting to conduct terror operations in Iraq. Among these individuals were nine Frenchmen, two Belgians, and an American. Yup, more John Walker Lindh in the making.

According to Gateway Pundit and the sources he cited, these young men were there to study Islamic law at Al-Azhar University, but were indeed learning the ways of Jihad, and they sought to recruit others to thier wicked cause.

Indeed, the insanity of Islam knows neither race nor nationality - its all-consuming maw is ready to consume anyone who stumbles into it.
