The World Their Stage
The West is so fond of its embrace of freedom of thought, of expression, of association and of the right to state in public whatever it is one embraces, that it appears not at all troubled that it provides a very public forum for those who despise the democratic ideal, enabling fervent jihadists to scoop the global media with their repugnantly malicious agenda. There's a compelling story to be had, and disseminated - after all, isn't that what news is all about?Contorting and using the values that freedom-loving democracies hold dear, their enemies have become amazingly skilled at manipulating the guilt-syndrome that appears to be so prevalent in society and their administrations, compelling an agreement that equality of opportunity to vent be available to even those whose determination it is to increase the numbers of dedicated jihadists through spreading the good word of triumphalist jihad.
When Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. made his announcement that the five 'alleged' (the incessant use of that word to describe those incarcerated for crimes and awaiting trials, even while they may have offered agreement of guilt, expresses in and of itself the delicacy of feeling that society now offers the accused - aside from fear of litigation for pre-trial presumption of guilt) 9/11 plotters would be tried by a federal court located in New York City, the accused must have felt they'd found that proverbial pot of gold at the end of their jihadist rainbow.
They now plan to rescind their proud expressions of guilty-as-charged, to one of 'not guilty'. Although inordinately pleased with their honourable and Islam-defensive goal of bringing mayhem, misery and terror to the Great Satan, and eager to embrace the blessed state of martyrdom they worked so diligently to achieve, that can wait upon their trial and the inevitable finding of guilt. In the meanwhile the opportunity to gift the world with the oratory of divine justice on behalf of Islam renascent is theirs.
They have generously been given the stage to damn the American occupation of Muslim countries. To condemn the Americans for their errant stupidity in continuing to support the Little-Satan-Zionist-entity. Standing now in the country that represents "oppression, torture and terror" through their "dark ages" incarceration in Guantanamo, they can point their accusatory fingers at the true world oppressor, the United States.
Skilfully and knowingly using the language of civil freedoms, covering themselves in an aura of righteous response to the indignity of a people and a religion scorned, degraded and denied their rightful place in the world of respect and power, they usurp the language and the values of those they hate and seek to destroy. With a great degree of success, enabling them to reach a wider audience of those ripe for radicalization.
Offering, in an aside, greetings to their commander-in-chief, Osama bin Laden, his highly respected deputy in al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and the Afghan Taliban's Mullah Mohammed Omar. Standing together as one, in strength of conviction, of purpose, representing the Ummah triumphant in Islamofascism.
