Atwar Bahjat and the return of the Dark Ages

When will the civilized world finally have enough of the kind of butchery that befell Atwar Bahjat? Remember, by the time they actually come for you, it's already too late.

The last time there was this kind of rampant savagery and brutality on a global scale was the Dark Ages, when the Islamic Empire was in its heyday and dhimmi (non-Muslims) were routinely beaten, tortured, raped, etc., everywhere they ruled. (And that was the just the livestock. . .) Read all about it in Paul Fregosi's uber-important book, Jihad in the West. Beheadings were as common as camel droppings in those days.

Sound familiar? Think Daniel Pearl and Nicholas Berg. And now Atwar Bahjat, intrepid Iraqi woman television journalist, to whom many other unspeakable things were done. There's a video floating around the Web of her brutal murder, but we recommend the written account. That's bad enough.

This must be stopped.

The Dark Ages came to an end with the Crusades, the Age of Exploration and the forcible expulsion of the Muslim cutthroats from France, Spain and elsewhere in Europe, ending their bloody rule. And now today the Crusades are almost criminally misrepresented to our own children in the public schools by NEA-indoctrinated teachers and textbooks. Just the truth that they were a natural response to decades, and even centuries, of unspeakable evil was the first casualty.

Yes, we are in a similar situation today. The Dark Ages are returning—if we let it. Make no mistake. We are in a fight for our civilization, whether we like it or not. It's time we join the battle. Groups like Hezbollah and al Qaeda, for starters, need to be eliminated, down to the last man. Period. They are unmitigated evil incarnate.

If this sounds radical, read the account of the slaying of Atwar Bahjat, who is just one recent example, and then decide. We may be faced with a familiar choice all over again—the Dark Ages or the Crusades.

And remember: They are coming. Let's not wait for that to happen.
