Four murdered Americans among the thirty-five victims in Brussels and seventy-one murdered Christians in Lahore, mostly women and children, blown apart over the Easter weekend are representative of the true face of Islam and the severe existential security threat Islam and Muslims pose to America.  Americans delude themselves by thinking otherwise.  This is a threat that will only be made worse through the delay of commonsense action and the immediate halt of Muslim immigration into our country.

Americans cannot place any hopes on the elusive "peaceful" and "moderate" Muslims.  While 70% of the followers of traditional Islam have been deemed "moderate" by leftist politicians and intelligentsia, far too often, the reality has shown us otherwise, and once described "moderates" are found in the ranks of "radicals," usually after another bloody terrorist attack and too late to do anything but collect the wounded, maimed, and dead.

If, as stated by a few U.S. senators, it is an insult to Muslims to advocate tracking Muslim refugees already here and to halt Muslim immigration for any period of time, then I suggest that Muslims stop murdering Americans.  And for those who tell us to view the Muslim graves at Arlington, for each headstone, there are a hundred more Muslims who would happily betray America and see her destroyed.

Ali Mohammed, top aide to Osama bin Laden, immigrated to the U.S. in the 1980s from Egypt.  He became a U.S. Army sergeant and an instructor at the JFK Special Operations Warfare School at Ft. Bragg.  Then Mohammed went on to smuggle suspected terrorists into the U.S. through Vancouver, Canada.  And in his greatest betrayal of this generous America that offered him so much, Mohammed trained El Sayyid Nosair and Mahmud Abuhalima, who took part in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Brussels bombers Ibrahim and Khalid Bakraoui's plot to force a nuclear scientist to make a dirty nuclear bomb brings to mind the New Jersey al-Qaeda member Sharif Mobley, currently serving time on terrorism charges.  Mobley worked in several nuclear plants in Salem County, N.J., and he had passed multiple federal background checks through 2008.

Muslims are the only people committing global wholesale murder in the name of Islam.  They are the only people who openly proclaim their desire to kill Jews and Westerners.  Muslims are the only people vowing to conquer the world.  These facts are not irrelevant to America's immigration policy.

If every single Muslim grievance against the West and America were addressed and assuaged today, tomorrow a hundred more would be posited by the leaders of Islam, simply because we exist and are not Muslim.  Anyone saying "we cannot afford to alienate" Muslims act as though it's America's fault that Muslim's attack us.  Offend the Muslim world or not, Islam will always manufacture one more reason to attack America.

Noted by Kyle Shideler, over the last four decades, Shamim Siddiqqi, leader of the Islamic Circle of North America, has advocated subverting our republic by linking Islamist front groups to racial politics.  During the 2015 joint conference of the Muslim American Society, an overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the ICNA, Khalilah Sabra, MAS leader, openly called for "revolution" as she discussed Muslim support for Black Lives Matter.  Drawing parallels between the U.S. and the Middle East and events leading to the Muslim Brotherhood-led Arab Spring revolutions, Sabra suggested, "We are the community that staged a revolution across the world.  If we can do that, why can't we have that revolution in America?"

Any Muslim calling for the reform of Islam, in the Western sense of the meaning of the word "reform," is considered a heretic.  However, an infinitesimal number of liberal-thinking secular Muslims, such as Irshad Manji, Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, and Asra Nomani, are attempting to counter the integral violent doctrines and reform Islam.  But any successes will be next to impossible to achieve, due to Islamic texts and the competing theological hierarchies of Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.  And compounding the difficulty of their task, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are still exporting the virulent Wahhabi brand of Islam to 2,000 mosques across America.  No one can reasonably expect Islam to achieve reformation in this lifetime or the next.

Perhaps millions of Muslims are already living peacefully with the rest of the world, the non-Muslims, the Christians, the infidels, as the Progressives and Muslim apologists would have us believe.  But on the whole, I have yet to see it anywhere – not even in Jordan, where King Abdullah has called for "reform" and yet still allows the persecution of Jordan's Christian minority.  And in the meantime, their "religion of peace" is awash in the blood of Americans, Europeans, Yazidis, and Christians and their fellow Muslims.

Where is the historical evidence of a mainstream "moderate" Islam or even Islam "the religion of peace" after Islam's first ten years?

Isn't it reasonable for Americans to decide who is allowed into our country?  Isn't it logical to determine that banning the immigration of Muslim "refugees" will prevent many terrorists from entering America, too?

Americans have had enough of placing memorial flowers on the graves of their loved ones, who were murdered by Muslims seeking to impose Islam in the name of Allah.  As Progressives and Obama lecture the rest of America on retaining our "American values," it becomes obvious that their "values" are a perversion of everything "American."  Our American values are based on Western and Judeo-Christian principles, not Middle Eastern values or oppressive teachings of the Koran, whether Muslims like it or not.

Resisting a government utopian policy of open borders and coexistence that allows hundreds of thousands of Muslims to enter America and commit mass murder is not a "hate crime."  It is our duty to prevent the murder of innocent civilians in America and to defend America and not let her perish.  Here and abroad, we must fight or die.
