Syria Was Never a Just War

{frontpagemag.com} ~ “Moral factors cannot be ignored in war . . . Moral elements are among the most important in war,” wrote Prussian military strategist Carl von Clausewitz... “Without just cause nothing that follows can be justified, even if it can be more and less virtuous,” writes ethicist Nigel Biggar in his book In Defence of War. Almost unique among modern ethicists, the Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology at Oxford University presents a forceful case against the pacifist “virus of wishful thinking.” He even contends, rather provocatively, that the 2003 Iraq invasion was justified. Biggar rejects “Hobbesian realism” and declares himself an adherent of “Augustinian realism,” drawing deeply on the Augustinian tradition of Just War. There are times when war can be and indeed should be the moral response to grave wrongdoing. The most serious flaw in the West’s intervention in Syria’s civil and religious war for that is what it is is our lack of justification for the morality of going to war with Assad and sending American troops to Syria in the first place. Pragmatic arguments about regional politics and supporting the Kurds are valid but not sufficient to go to war or to expend American lives in theatre. At the end of the day, “there are no good guys in an Islamic civil war,” writes Daniel Greenfield. Moreover, “there are no innocent victims in an Islamic civil war because neither side believes in anything except demonstrating the Allahu Akbaring supremacy of their religious doctrine by subjugating the other,” he adds. Hence exploring the moral question becomes an even greater imperative. So far, no religious or political leader has argued persuasively the morality of even one of the six criteria of the Just War model to justify the morality of our intervention in Syria...  https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/272367/syria-was-never-just-war-jules-gomes

{clarionproject.org} ~ Clarion Project’s National Security Analyst and Director of the Clarion Intelligence Network Ryan Mauro personally worked on a case... that would have been the largest terror-funding case in the U.S. The case involved Islamic Relief, one of the world’s largest Islamic “charities.” After his briefing, three government agencies were prepared to go ahead with prosecution, but the scumbag/liar-nObama administration declined. Find out why in this interview with Mauro below and see if the Trump administration has picked up the ball.

Europe's New "Munich": Iran

{gatestoneinstitute.org} ~ In the choice between greed and values, Europe is approaching an existential crossroads with Iran. Europe is both undermining its credibility and surrendering its principles... For Western governments to defend the interests of businesses is normal. But to betray the Iranian people, who are repressed  by their own regime; to undermine Israel's concerns about Iran's all too real threats of annihilation; to beg for an accord that fast-tracks Iran's nuclear weapons capability, and to  boycott efforts by the US administration to hold the Iranian regime accountable for its actions -- these are not normal. They are lethal. The Iranian leadership has long called for the destruction of Israel -- the country, along with Saudi Arabia, most at risk from a nuclearized and aggressive Islamic Republic. In November, Iran's President Hassan Rouhani, who has been hailed by the media as a "moderate", called Israel a "cancerous tumor in the region." A few months earlier, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, tweeted similar remarks: "#Israel is a malignant cancerous tumor in the West Asian region that has to be removed and eradicated: it is possible and it will happen." In early November, Hamas, one of Iran's terror proxies, fired hundreds of rockets from Gaza into southern Israel. Brian Hook, the US Senior Policy Advisor to the Secretary of State and Special Representative for Iran explained...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/13380/europe-iran-appeasement

No Sharia in America

{americanthinker.com} ~ Every liberal media outlet is celebrating the election of two Muslim women to Congress -- Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. Since they both wear the traditional hijab... Nancy Pulosi will move to repeal a 180-year rule prohibiting head coverings on the floor of Congress. Some suggested that all the women in Congress wear the hijab in solidarity with their new Muslim colleagues. A CNN anchor suggested two years ago that all American women wear the hijab in solidarity with Muslim women against a Trump presidency. I commented on my radio show that if the women wear the hijab on the floor of Congress, it will look like an Islamic republic. The mainstream media went wild, depicting me as a raving lunatic, while portraying the newly elected Muslims as courageous representatives of American diversity. Both women will be sworn in on the Koran, and Tlaib will wear a Palestinian robe to show she is firmly in the anti-Israel camp. What a surprise. By the way, it is interesting to note that Jews have served in Congress since the early 1800s and there has been no Jewish push to allow wearing the yarmulke. Learning of my comments, Ms. Omar responded, “The floor of Congress will look like America. Just deal.” First, most American women do not wear Islamic headdress. I have no idea what “Just deal” means. I do know that wrapping leftist ideology in a hijab doesn’t make it right or good for America. It is clear that Ilhan Omar is an America-hating leftist who is using her religion to win sympathy as a victim. Muslims have not been victims of Americans. It is the other way around. Islamists killed 3000 of our people on 9/11 and have killed many more in other terrorist attacks. Yet, by her own admission, after 9/11, Omar did not start an anti-terrorist movement within Islam. She did not express mourning over the deaths of fellow citizens. Instead she played the Muslim victim and decided to start wearing her hijab to express pride in her Islamic identity...
ISIS Terror Threats 2019: ‘We’re Coming to America’

{clarionproject.org} ~ ISIS reacted with glee to the news of President Donald Trump’s planned withdrawal of American troops from Syria, promising that in 2019... ISIS terror threats will “come to America,” PJ Media reported. In a new video, ISIS vowed its power would resurge in 2019 just like it did when former president scumbag/liar-nObama pulled U.S. troops out of Iraq. The video, It’s Still Burning a reference to the group’s previous two “Flames of War” videos mocked Trump for saying, “We have won against ISIS.” “They have anticipated they can’t fight against us forever,” the video intones, showing scumbag/liar-nObama calling U.S. troops home from Iraq. “They keep repeating the same self-defeating behaviors.” “We tell the Americans, the protectors of the Jews and the Crusader protector, whether you withdrew or not our victory is in our continuation. “Even if you withdraw, you will return soon. If you cannot turn back, we will invade you from everywhere and you will hear our footsteps on the ground. The fighting has just begun and we are confident of victory from Allah.”...  https://clarionproject.org/isis-terror-threats-2019/

The Left's Strange Alliance With Islam
7W0eXFpsRNgfmkt5_tkXM-MM16Z-yCAnd0VF2OkmcSxG5OSG9-ZkbgcEagXhWR7ctim-J5BRG8wZbmFrtBkNNgEBblGyaRgWHmacYM-m5mAMcZhnRQlupExIQSTAjAylTIYs2jUkq1jq24hbTw32wBESrIeIxdufC9mrzL4=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=400
by Culture Beat:  Following the West’s near-universal acceptance of postmodernism, in which Enlightenment values that championed the rights of the individual have been eroded into near obscurity in the face of leftists’ incessant demands for “social justice” for various “oppressed” identity groups, an unusual and unlikely alliance has been created. Leftists have clasped hands with Islamists in their effort to overthrow the “patriarchy” of the Enlightened West.

             The Federalist’s Mahir Ahmed notes the irony, writing, “Of all the ideologies the left has aligned itself with through minority representation, I find the strangest of all to be Islam. The left’s alliance with Islam is unique, not only because Islam is at odds with Enlightenment values, as most collectivist systems are, but mainly because Islam is at odds with rights the left pride themselves in protecting.
               Ahmed continues, “Ex-Muslims, LGBT Muslims, and independent, dissenting Muslim women have always had to fear for their lives, and they continue to do so today in Muslim-majority countries. It is extremely strange that the same left that used to defend human rights worldwide somehow decided to align itself with Islam, only to help further endanger the lives of dissenting individuals within the Muslim community, not only in Muslim-majority countries, but even here in the West.”
               The obvious question arises: What is the endgame for leftists who so willingly embrace Islam, which itself promotes a value systems that runs counter to almost everything the Left claims to value? The modern Left has become so obsessed in its commitment to destroy capitalism and the Western “patriarchy” that it has willingly and eagerly aligned itself with a medieval-era monster that will turn and eat it at the first opportunity.
               The Left warns of the danger posed by a nonexistent Judeo-Christian “theocracy” while at the same time blindly embracing an alliance with a worldview that fundamentally rejects the concept of the separation of church mosque and state. As Ahmed concludes, “The message I am trying to convey here is not about waging war against Islam. It is rather about going back to the basics of Enlightenment values, and to set the individual above all else. It is about pushing back against granting Islam immunity from criticism.”
               In reality, it’s no surprise to see leftists fighting against the very values system that gave them a right to free thought in the first place.  ~The Patriot Post
