Will The Real Great Satan Please Stand Up?
I’m getting a little tired of the mindless anti-Americanism that seems to exist all around the globe. The Europeans blame us for global warming and inciting Islamic terrorists. Liberals in Canada blame us for gun violence, global warming and inciting Islamic terrorists. And, liberals right here at home blame us for global warming and… did you guess, “inciting Islamic terrorists?” Wait a minute! Do you see a pattern here?
Islamic fundamentalists love to refer to America as the “Great Satan.” If you do a bit of thinking upon the meaning and history of Satan however, you’ll find that this is far from the truth. The history of Satan (under various names) predates both Christianity and Islam by thousands of years. Regardless of which version of Satan one subscribes to, there is one defining characteristic of Satanism common to all of them: Putting one’s self above all else. Strip away the often-comical hocus pocus of Satanism and you’ll find a pseudo-religion that teaches complete self-indulgence and self-promotion with a total lack of personal accountability to any but one’s self.
Don’t confuse Satanism with individualism. We owe it to ourselves and those who depend upon us to be strong, resourceful and self-reliant. Our individualism is the wellspring from which comes our prosperity. God teaches us to help others, to share our wealth regardless of how humble it may be and to deal with others fairly and honestly. And while there are certainly those within our borders who do not adhere to these principles, as a nation we do a pretty darn good job. America has spent countless trillions of dollars and millions of our own precious lives in the service of Planet Earth. Does this sound Satanic to you?
Compare this to the actions of those who refer to us as the “Great Satan.” For centuries, bands of Muslims ranging from small groups to well-equipped armies have roamed the civilized world, bringing death and destruction to all who would not embrace their false religion. I’m certainly no fan of Slobodan Milosevic but let’s not forget that it was a Muslim army that first conquered the Serbs in the 1400’s and drove them out of their homeland. Remember too, that for the most part the Crusades were an act of self-defense against the Muslim raiders of that time period.
This foul history of plunder and death dates back to the rise of the so-called “Prophet” Mohammed and his original band of savages. Mohammed formed the first Muslim raiding party in 623 AD and began raiding merchant caravans traveling the roads near the ancient city of Medina. Claiming to be the sole prophet of Allah, Mohammed took one fifth of the spoils from the raids and made himself a wealthy man.
In current times, radical Muslim groups support their perverse holy war by dealing in illegal drugs and weapons and various front operations that purport themselves as charities while funneling millions of dollars into terrorist organizations.
Mohammed was also a rank sexual deviant, and his abuse of women is the stuff of legend. Being the role model for his followers, this behavior was of course mimicked by other aspiring Muslims. Nowadays one only needs to consider the carnage resulting from all those honor killings of innocent young Muslim women to realize that Mohammed’s legacy is alive and well. A Muslim man who rapes a woman is seen as a victim, since according to the Muslim mindset the woman MUST have done something to seduce him.
Modern Muslim extremists are little different from their ancestors. Violence and poverty follow them wherever they go. Muslims streaming into Europe want no part of European society, demanding instead that they be allowed to live by Shari’a (Islamic) law. While they claim to adhere to the law of Allah, in reality they are doing nothing but indulging their own depravity. The only practical difference between Islam and “mainstream” Satanism is the fact that Islam is far more violent.
Mohammed was Satan’s most faithful servant, and the radical Islamic thugs of today are nothing more than Satan’s most useful idiots.
