What happened in Brussels and continues to happen in vast areas of the world was and is
disgusting and cowardly, but was it or is it really a surprise? If one say's yes, I beg to differ with them. It was and is no surprise. Terrorists commit acts of
terror; their existence, although disturbing, is not a surprise. What is a
surprise and, perhaps most disturbing, is how the free world is reacting to the
massacres? After decades of radical Islamic terrorism and the wholesale
slaughter of the innocent, world leaders barely pay lip service to it anymore.
After the latest
bombings, world leaders pledged to “stand against” those who perpetrated this
latest atrocity. With all due respect, that’s like cursing the rain or pummeling the wind – words, when followed by nothing, that might as well be nothing. And
nothing is what western civilization offers in the face of splattered bodies of
people committing the sin of going about their daily lives.
As long as Western leaders, particularly America's Chief Executive, continues to treat the threat radical
Islam poses to life like a flea on a dog, more ground will be soaked with
the blood of innocent people.
