No Substitute for Victory: The Defeat of Islamic Totalitarianism

RESCHEDULED IN THE NAME OF
ACADEMIC FREEDOM

What: A live lecture by historian Dr. John Lewis, Ph.D.

When: Tuesday, April 24, 7:30 pm

Where: GMU Fairfax Campus, Johnson Center Cinema [Campus Map]

In the wake of 9/11, and in the face of rising threats to their freedoms and rights, Americans are uncertain about what a proper foreign policy should be. Crippled by this uncertainty, America has failed to address the cause of the threats against her.

This talk consults the historical precedent of American policy towards Shintoism in post-1945 Japan to show that a proper policy today would first identify Islamic Totalitarianism as the cause of the threat facing the West, and then direct American resources toward eliminating the political imposition of Islamic Law.

If Americans want to end the danger to their lives and liberty, they must first identify the advocates of political Islam (those who seek to impose Islamic Law by force) as the true enemy, and then destroy that enemy—beginning with the Islamic State of Iran.

This is very sad that GMU would accomodate a man who advocates hate speech, nothing short of advocating a holocaust against muslims:

"Americans mount a vigorous offense against the center of the enemy’s power. Waves of bombers obliterate dozens of enemy cities. His food is choked off, his military is decimated, his industry is bombarded, his ships are sunk, his harbors are mined—his people are psychologically shattered. In a single night, a hundred thousand civilians die in a firestorm in his capital. Americans drop leaflets telling the enemy population which cities could be next. Civilians are immersed in propaganda from their government, telling them that they are winning the war—yet they cower defenselessly while American bombers level their homes.

One of our generals announces his personal goal: to “kill the bastards.” We name our final drive against the enemy, “Operation Downfall.” A force of overpowering magnitude amasses on the enemy’s borders, as thousands of American bombers pulverize his cities. The President and two foreign allies issue an ultimatum.

When the enemy balks at the ultimatum, atomic bombs are dropped on his cities . He surrenders, thus acknowledging the reality of his defeat and making a political decision to cease fighting. He orders his reluctant soldiers to lay down their arms. The American military occupies the defeated nation. We censor the media, impose reforms on schools, dismantle economic cartels, efface militaristic language from discourse at all levels, and write a political constitution which they are forced to accept. We tell them, pointedly and publicly, that they are defeated, and that we have no obligations to them. When they face starvation, we remind them that their miseries are their own fault. We charge them for many of the costs of the occupation. Not one dime of aid arrives until they demonstrate their complete surrender, in word and in action, including their repudiation of the militaristic ideology that motivated their attacks."

There is no such thing as totalitarian islam, there is only ISLAM.

if you have a problem with it, then don't follow it!

You are right, there is only Islam. I will never submit to Allah or his followers.

Good for you, then that's your problem. Try to speak about something you KNOW about, not islam.

Second of all, you cannot stop the revival of Islam as a political element of the islamic world encompassing the majority of the 1.5 billion muslims.

Muslims have experienced secularism and hate it. It has no place in the muslim world.

In conclusion, if you want to live in a secular society, then LIVE ELSEWHERE!
