SnyderTalk Editorial: ‘Democratic’ Arab Spring Becoming an Islamist Arab Winter

Jeremiah 12: 14-17

Thus says Yahweh concerning all My wicked neighbors who strike at the inheritance with which I have endowed My people Israel, “Behold I am about to uproot them from their land and will uproot the house of Judah from among them. And it will come about that after I have uprooted them, I will again have compassion on them; and I will bring them back, each one to his inheritance and each one to his land. Then if they will really learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, ‘As Yahweh lives,’ even as they taught My people to swear by Baal, they will be built up in the midst of My people. But if they will not listen, then I will uproot that nation, uproot and destroy it,” declares Yahweh.

Jeremiah 27: 8-11

“It will be, that the nation or the kingdom which will not serve him, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and which will not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, I will punish that nation with the sword, with famine and with pestilence,” declares Yahweh, “until I have destroyed it by his hand. But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your dreamers, your soothsayers or your sorcerers who speak to you, saying, ‘You will not serve the king of Babylon.’ For they prophesy a lie to you in order to remove you far from your land; and I will drive you out and you will perish. But the nation which will bring its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will let remain on its land,” declares Yahweh, “and they will till it and dwell in it.”

Falsely Accused

Falsely Accused is a true story about a young woman who was accused of committing a double homicide. It’s about a travesty of justice, and it reveals Yahweh intervening in the life of a believer to rescue her from danger in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Everyone will enjoy the book, but young people in particular need to read it because the mistakes made that led to the problem could have been avoided. They were the kinds of mistakes that young people are prone to make. As they say, forewarned is forearmed.

If you don’t have a Kindle device, you can download Falsely Accused into your computer. The title of the book has a hyperlink. Click on it, and it will take you to the Amazon webpage. In the upper right corner of the webpage, you’ll see a box containing the words “Buy now with 1-click.” Below that you’ll see Available on your PC. You’ll need this for downloading eBooks from Kindle, and the software is free. Next, directly under “Buy now with 1-click,” you see “Deliver to.” The drop down will enable you to select “Kindle for PC” and download it directly into your computer. You can also download it for use with iPads, Sony Reader, and a host of other tablet devices. You’ll need to have an account with Amazon. If you don’t have one already, I recommend it strongly.

‘Democratic’ Arab Spring Becoming an Islamist Arab Winter

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is a cruel dictator. He believes that killing his own citizens is collateral damage associated with governing, and he’s not alone. Arab countries have been ruled by people like Assad for millennia. Yet the Arab Spring is changing the status quo in the Middle East, and today’s shocked Westerners may, in due course, wind up longing for the days when the Assads of the Middle East were in charge.

A few days ago, President Assad said, “Syria is the hub now in this region. It is the fault line, and if you play with the ground you will cause an earthquake.” Some interpreted his remark as a threat, and it probably was—at least in part. According to Reza Kahlili:

“Two of the Middle East’s dictators, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, want to form a united front against NATO ally Turkey for what they see as dangerous meddling in regional affairs.

Believing that it has blunted Saudi Arabia’s influence in the Middle East, Iran is now turning its focus on Turkey in an effort to establish Iranian hegemony in the region.”

Politics makes for strange bedfellows. Iran is ruled by Islamists, and it’s a state sponsor of Islamist terrorism globally. Syria is a secular Muslim nation now threatened by the very forces Iran seeks to unleash. At this moment, Assad needs Iran’s support. Next week, things may be different, and his willingness to cooperate with Iranian leaders could evaporate in the blink of an eye. In that sense, Assad’s comment may have been sage advice from an experienced hand. He knows better than Western leaders what it takes to control the Islamists of the world, especially those in the Middle East. Simultaneously, Assad coddles and fights with Islamists. He’s been doing it since the day he took office. For example, he uses groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah to apply pressure on Israel and Lebanon, but he doesn’t hesitate to deploy Syrian troops to deal with Islamist elements in Syria who challenge his authority. The Muslim Brotherhood is a good case in point.

Reports of the number of deaths in Syria associated with Assad’s ongoing crackdown vary widely, but roughly 3,000 Syrians have been killed thus far. As staggering as that number is, it pales against comparable incidents in the past. For instance, in 1970, in an operation that has come to be known as Black September, mild-mannered King Hussein of Jordan, King Abdullah’s father, put down a rebellion in his country by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) by killing between 10,000 and 25,000 Palestinians in one month and evicting the PLO from Jordan. Under the guidance of Yasser Arafat, the PLO fled from Jordan to Lebanon, where they set up shop and helped to foment the Lebanese Civil War, which eventually cost the lives of more than 100,000 Lebanese. Similarly, in 1982, Syrian President Hafez al-Assad, Bashar’s father, crushed a Sunni rebellion in the town of Hama by slaughtering more than 20,000 of its citizens. By those standards, Bashar al-Assad has shown remarkable restraint during the unrest in Syria associated with the Arab Spring.

Given his current predicament, former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak probably wishes he had ignored President Obama and other Western leaders when they urged him to step aside and let “democracy” prevail. As high-minded as that advice sounded at the time to ideologues in the West, in the Middle East it opened the door for Islamists to crawl out of the woodwork and begin the process of taking control. Having been emboldened by the Arab Spring, they are busily preparing for the Arab Winter, and what they have in mind extends far beyond the borders of the Middle East. With help from Iran, they hope to wipe Israel off the map and spread their violent version of Islam across the planet. Their first victims will be women, Muslim women specifically, followed closely by Jews, Christians, Hindus, other religious groups, and atheists. Interestingly, Islamists reserve their most intense hatred for their fellow Muslims who don’t buy into their philosophy. That includes people like Bashar al-Assad under normal circumstances, and that’s why a “moderate voice for Islam” is hard to find. Most Muslims who aren’t radical are afraid to speak out because they understand the consequences.

The late King Hussein of Jordan, the late President Hafez al-Assad of Syria, and his son Bashar have at least one thing in common. They know their enemies, and they know how to deal with them. The militants involved in the Arab Spring aren’t ordinary citizens. They’re Islamists who want to rule the world and impose Sharia law, and they are on the verge of taking control in Libya, Egypt, and Tunisia. They seek to overthrow the existing political order in the Middle East and use it as a springboard to conquests around the world. It’s obvious that Iranian leaders are spearheading the global initiative. They see Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan as a threat to their regional hegemony. At this juncture, Bashar al-Assad is their ally, but again, things change.

In October, Dr. Jack Wheeler was called upon to advise a GOP candidate for the Republican nomination for the presidency, and this is what he said about Islam:

“The next president should make a clear and public distinction between Islam the religion and Islamism the political ideology masquerading as a religion. That Islamism will no longer be accorded the respect due an actual religion but treated with the contempt due any fascist ideology such as Communism or Nazism.

The next president should draw a distinct line between all variants of Islamism, such as Wahhabis, Deobandis, Khomeini Shias, and other forms of Jihadi and Sharia Islam, with peaceful and tolerant forms of Islam such as practiced by Sufis and Ismailis. It is with the latter that the future of Islam lies.

And for any Moslem in the US who agitates for Sharia law, he is welcome to do so—in a country that practices it, not in America. As for Islamic terrorism, its practitioners should receive a drone strike—a policy of the current president that should be continued.

The current president has, however, utterly failed to champion the rights and religious freedom of Christians in the Moslem world. A truly American foreign policy would do so.”

Wheeler is right. The time for pampering Islamists in the United States is over. They threaten everything we hold dear. Like tentacles from a rapidly spreading cancer, Islamists have established footholds in every country of the world, and they are fomenting unrest in hopes of bringing down every leader who doesn’t pay homage to them and their cause. In the end, their goal is to eradicate the existing world order and replace it with one over which they have control. Western leaders ignore these facts at their own peril.

Joel 3: 17-21

Then you will know that I am Yahweh your God, dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain. So Jerusalem will be holy, and strangers will pass through it no more. And in that day the mountains will drip with sweet wine, and the hills will flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah will flow with water; and a spring will go out from the house of Yahweh to water the valley of Shittim. Egypt will become a waste, and Edom will become a desolate wilderness, because of the violence done to the sons of Judah, in whose land they have shed innocent blood. But Judah will be inhabited forever and Jerusalem for all generations. And I will avenge their blood which I have not avenged, for Yahweh dwells in Zion.
