Boston Marathon Bombers present problems to the liberal worldview on at least three policy fronts

The Boston Marathon bomber events present problems to the liberal worldview on three policy fronts:

1) Immigration

Skeptics of the Marco Rubio “Gang of Eight” immigration bill being put forth are not opposed to immigration.

America is a nation of immigrants.

The Boston Marathon bombers show the need to control immigration — to make sure new immigrants have assimilated into American life, to have actually become Americans. We want to make sure those who have green cards and who become U.S. citizens actually like America.

The older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, said that he did not have a single American friend, dids not understand Americans.

Who were his friends? Clearly, not Americans.

Not only do we need to secure our borders. We need an immigration policy that allows the rate of immigration to be at a level where we can be reasonably be sure new immigrants are truly ready to be Americans, understand what makes America special and different from the rest of the world.

We want people here who love America.

2) Gun control

The Boston Marathon bombers showed how much murder and mayhem can be caused without guns. The al Qaeda magazine Inspire published an article titled “How to Make a Bomb in Your Mom’s Kitchen” that details how to make a powerful bomb with a pressure cooker — apparently the inspiration for these two young men.

Tim McVeigh and company blew up a federal building, killing 168 people and injuring more than 800 with a bomb made out of fertilizer.

This week, we saw the incredible devastation caused by the blowing up of a fertilizer plant in Texas. An entire community leveled. We still don’t know the number of dead and injured from that event.

So there are many ways to kill a lot of people without guns.

Guns don’t kill people.  People kill people.

Guns aren’t evil.  But some people are evil . . . and will find a way to kill you if they want to.

3) Radical Islam

The liberal-left were praying the Marathon Bombers were tax protesters or Tea Party types. But no.  Predictably, the bombers were radical Islamists.

Salon magazine published a truly disgraceful article titled “Let’s hope the Boston Marathon bomber is a white American.”

Why?

Meanwhile, the Obama Administration wants to classify mainstream evangelical Christians as the real danger to America and civilization. The Obama Administration classifies “Islamaphobia” as bigotry.

But the truth is there is something about the Islam religion that fosters violence.

Islam is not like other world religions.  We don’t fear Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, or Christians.

We don’t fear Mormons, Scientologists, or even Astrologers.

But there’s something at the heart of the Islam religion that is very dark.

Islam is the world’s most belligerant religion, the most warlike religion.

Certainly, not all Muslims are violent. I have some Muslim friends who are wonderful people who love America.

But I would argue that these Muslim friends of mine fall into the category of nominal Muslims. Much like nominal Christians consider themselves to be Christians but don’t actually go to church regularly, these nominal Muslims are clearly not subscribing to the entire Muslim program.

In Muslim countries, we continue to see women stoned for adultery and lesser sins. We see Muslim converts to Christianity put to death.

Can Muslims who actually subscribe to Sharia Law ever actually assimilate to America?

Those who subscribe to Sharia Law (Islamic Law) believe those who do not convert to Islam must be put to death.

There is no such thing as religious freedom (or freedom of any kind) under Islam.

Sharia Law is incompatible with liberty — just as Nazism and Communism are incompatible with liberty and our Constitution.

Jesus Christ never told us to kill non-Christians — just try to convert them . . . through persuasion.

Islam believes in conversion through threat of the sword.

Hence Islam’s infatuation with beheading non-Muslims.

Jesus told us: “By their fruits we shall know them.”

The fruits of Islam have been poisonous.

Not much good has come from Islam.  What scientific discoveries has Islam produced? What great works of art or literature? Who in their right mind would ever want to live in an Islamic country?

Every Islamic nation is an economic and human rights disaster.

With the exception of a few oil billionaires and sheiks, most people who live in these oil-rich Islamic countries live in abject poverty — on a sub-human level that makes the South Bronx look prosperous by comparison.

There is clearly something deeply barbaric about the Islamic religion — at least the pure Islamic religion.

The savage and ultra-violent nature of Islam presents a big problem for those (like Marco Rubio) who want a more relaxed path to U.S. Citizenship.  We don’t need people here who hate America.  We want people here who love America.
