Captain B

Recently I was at a luncheon whose speaker was Captain B, an IDF soldier injured on October 7th, 2023. It was eye opening.  As an advance man into the kibbutz on the Gaza border that was at the heart of this Islamic onslaught by Hamas on innocent Israeli’s, knowing he might die, he was prepared.  Having a 1 year old girl at the time, he recounted writing letters to her for every year until she was eighteen. Wishing her a Happy Birthday, and another for her wedding day, just in case. What he encountered was beyond comprehension as the brutality of the killings was difficult even to describe, let alone experience.  He noted the Press has not been totally truthful with the extent of the horrors. He was in and out of a couple houses looking for survivors, seeing only tragic outcomes. A child beheaded. An elderly man shot in the head at close range.  In the third home, a trained dog entered first and was immediately shot and died. Pinned down in a doorway bullets began flying randomly everywhere. He responded but aiming a weapon was difficult.  During the melee that seemed never ending he was severely wounded. He kept his composure as well as he could, but his injuries prevented him from handling his side arm.  He was semi-conscious. Additional IDF soldiers joined the battle and were able to pull him away from the carnage. 

Captain B described the fire fight and grenades used to achieve an element of victory leaving many dead, including a military dog, in as much detail as he could recall before, his legs injured, his hand inoperative, his blood loss excessive, he lost consciousness.

The medics that attended him actually placed him on the side of those expected to die as they had to choose those they felt had a better chance at survival given the limited medical resources they had at hand.  When he awoke in the hospital 7 days later he was combative, pulling at the many attachments connected to his body, thinking he was still on mission. Sedated he came to again 3 days later, tied to his hospital bed.  His recovery took months and many surgeries and he now, at 27 years of age, walks with a cane and cannot stand for extended periods.  He also suffers PTSD.

Questions Asked

Many questions were asked of him.  He was candid in his response. Will Gazans, that is Hamas, be eliminated?  He said that will never happen as they are fundamentalists tied closely to ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood. About Palestinians protesting in Gaza against Hamas, he noted that was for show.  They support Islam and their mission of a one world order, a Caliphate. The Palestinians approve of what Hamas did and might do again. And the people of Gaza do not support a two-State solution.  

The most important statement this Israeli reservist made was that he felt the October 7th massacre and kidnapping was a wake-up call, an awakening to the goals of Islam, not just against Israeli, but against the free world.  

“This is a war on Western Values.” 

Happening in The Free World

Consider what is happening in the United Kingdom, where hate laws tend to go easy on the Muslims, but come down hard on Christians, Jews and other non-Muslims.  Political leaders have become cowards, afraid of Islam, and important office holders, as the mayor of London, are Muslims.  There are ‘no go’ zones where only Muslims are allowed and within the confines Sharia Law is implemented.  British police cannot enter. 

There are similar problems in Scandinavia, Europe and the Netherlands. Italy is resisting.  So too Hungary and Poland.

For Europe and the United Kingdom a need for workers prompted countries to allow immigrants from third world areas. Due to historical factors certain countries welcomed migrants from different areas.  For Germany it was persons from Turkey.  England attracted Pakistani’s and Bangledeshi’s.  France, Lybians.  In every instance however those that arrived were Muslims.  Small in numbers at first they abided by local laws and customs, but as their numbers grew and became more united they began to express themselves in ways that sought exceptions to common practices.  

Fundamentalists in wealthy oil rich Muslim majority nations saw an opportunity. They enabled their so-called religious leaders and educators to emigrate, equipped with suitcases full of millions of dollars to be used within Muslim areas, to encourage Muslims living in these foreign localities to come together, rewards made available to do so, and remain united in their ideology. Mosques and madrassas (schools) were started, in homes at first, and then constructed.   Gifts were made to colleges and universities, large sums, with strings attached.  Curriculums were to be established to teach Islam as a ‘religion of peace,’ but more propaganda than truth. Local government officials and politicians were supported too, and to continue to receive financial benefits, their attitudes and views towards Islam were to change,  along with favorable and protective legislation.   

Their ideology remained and was replanted on new soil.  The Islamic leadership demanded protections for Muslims from anti-Islamic sentiment. Organizations such as C.A.I.R. Islamic Relief Organizations (Gaza Aid, Yemen Aid, Sudan Aid, USA aid, etc.), Muslim American Society, Ummah Welfare Trust, and many more, support mainly Muslims, as well as their ideology They support the construction of more and more Mosques and Madrassas where they can pray and learn.  Many immigrants became citizens of the countries where they now lived, but they did not adopt the customs or embrace the civil discourse that was historically prevalent. And now as Muslims they have organizations that encourage and support them not to assimilate.    

Even in America there are locales that are concentrations of followers of Islam, neither assimilating, nor embracing American culture.  They try imposing Sharia law and isolate themselves.  Cities like Hamtramck, Michigan (50% Muslim, an all Muslim city council and mayor), Dearborn, Michigan (over 50% Muslim, the “Arab Capital of North America”), Paterson, NJ (“Little Istanbul”), large concentrations in Brooklyn and Queens, NY (est. over 1 million), a large Somali concentration in Minnesota (represented in Congress by a Muslim, Ilhan Omar), and a new city arising, currently without government approvals, but proceeding regardless, EPIC City, Texas (a 402-acre master-planned community, about 40 miles from Dallas.  Most large cities, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia have growing numbers of Islamists.  Mosque are under construction in many places.  And in Minneapolis the City allows the Islamic call to prayer (the Adhan) to be blasted on speakers 5 times each day.

Mosques Being Built

In 1970 there were 100 mosques in the United States.  It is estimated there are over 3000 today with on average 100 being constructed each year.  The same is occurring in other free world, western civilizations, where policies exist with a door open to diversity as immigration is needed to satisfy standards for growth and productivity. 

Church populations remained relatively steady until around the year 2000 and has since shown a decline. There has been a loss of churches, by numbers, of about 1500 since 1970.

In the middle east, in Muslim majority nations, there have been no churches built in the time period noted. Christians and Jews are not welcomed.  

Islamophobia/Intolerance

Where there is opposition to growing Muslim concentrations calls of “racial-profiling” and “fear-mongering” are heard from Islamic leadership.  They refer to it too as “Islamophobia.”  But with over 1.5 billion Muslims globally and 20%, plus or minus, considered fundamentalist, even militant, that is over 300 million terrorists, then being Islamophobic is justified (this my view).  And the history of Islam shows a pattern of Muslims in small concentrations as peaceful but as their numbers grow and they can exert more influence they are prompted to speak out more to the dictates of the tenets of the Quran, Muhammad and Allah.  Their teachers (in madrassas) and preachers (in mosques) speak more boldly of the infidel to be hated and other religions (true religions) to be eliminated. 

In many Islamic nations you see the deep-rooted intolerance toward anyone of another faith, Christians in Nigeria, Syria, Pakistan; Hindus in Kashmir; Jews in virtually every Muslim-majority country, under constant attack, churches burned and individuals randomly or as groups murdered. 

In non-Muslim-majority countries, you don’t see the same level of violence, not because the hatred isn’t there, but because they simply don’t have the power yet.  Thus the concern, even in the free world countries mentioned, is there will be trouble brought by resident Muslims against established practices as the percentage of Muslims of the total population as a whole increases. Remain vigilant, educating yourself and follow the news.  The current trend leans towards the Muslims and hate-laws have been passed, politicians financially supported to cater to the ideology of Islam, protections offered as a religion, and more.  Anti-Christian and anti-Jew sentiment is apparent. This growing trend of Muslims taking hold as their numbers increase has been referred to as  “The Islamic Dooms Day Clock.”  It is ticking.  

Allowing Islam

In America we have allowed Islam, immigration policies of a few past presidents, among them Obama, have transformed areas into concentrations of Somalians, or Lebanese, even Palestinians, and permitted Islamic leaders to form communities exclusively for Muslims.  These areas have made an effort not to be Americanized, or westernized, and continue to attract other Muslims, aiding them with financial support and other benefits (often paid by the US government, such as medicaid and child support for multiple Muslim women/wives of a Muslim man).  They have learned to use our government’s safety nets and welfare system, treating it as a privilege. They produce children at a rate far in excess of averages.  The desire of any growing nation is for families to replace themselves with children, and to have increased population to maintain demand for products and services.  Free world countries birthrates are down, below the 2 per family number, which is not the case for Islamic families.  Islam sees women as baby machines, allows for multiple wives (with or without a marriage license), and thus produces more Muslims daily, far more than non-muslim monogamous families. 

The free world, western civilization as we know it, is allowing and enabling Islam.  The Islamic world is not open to Christian or Jews (others too). Do you sense a pattern here?

We cannot stop the fundamentalists from continuing their battle against non-believers.  It is what their Scripture dictates.  The only way to prevent growth and invasion of Islam in your country, in your State, in your City, in your neighborhood, changing cultures and reducing our freedoms, is to simply not allow Islam to be present. Do not allow Muslim communities like EPIC to be built, and stop the expansion of the network of mosques and madrassas. Islam should have never be let out of the confines in which it grew originally, the Muddle East.  The Ottoman Empire fell, but Islamic States are on the rise anew.  The battle lines at Tours and Vienna have been breached, not by battalions of Islamics, but by invitation by liberal politicians  and uneducated do-gooders thinking every individual regardless of race, creed, religion or ideology (Islam is an ideology like communism) can be civilized.  Islamists are not civilized. 

Islam and its believers are the barbarians at the gates of western civilization. 

Become educated in the truth of Islam.

As Captain B travels America and other free world nations relating his story, the truth of October 7 and the perils of Islam, may he be as Paul Revere riding his horse, carrying a torch, to declare the red coats are coming.  Indeed the evils of Islam are present and growing.
