My first experience of a day of rage came in 1987 during the first Intifada. We were in Gaza in a suburb named Sheikh Rajuan. A lot of whistling and stone throwing. Young kids egged on by adults, generally from behind closed doors while the older generation looked on disapprovingly. The point is, nothing new under the sun. On Thursdays we had a day of rage, Friday after prayers it was a day of protest. Next day it was a day of revenge for a fallen martyr (and believe me there were plenty of those around - enough to fill every calendar day of the year) and so on. You get the idea.
These days it has developed into what the arabs would call "more sophisticated violence." The adults who once watched from behind closed doors are well aware that western media view this as news (or entertainment depending on your views). So, feeling protected by the cameras and a new word for them, "democracy", they put on a show for the world calling it a day of rage. Of course we are supposed to be shaking in our boots at the use of the word "rage". What we have here is anger, hatred, violence and threats. Folks, this is not western democracy....This is Islam at its best. The manipulation of naive western media, some left wing ideology, western values of freedom and democracy, hunger, greed and lust for power, all mixed into the pot. All that is needed is to stir the pot and smile cynically as the infidels run around in dissaray not understanding what is happening. The problem with stupid people, is that they drag you down to their level and then beat you with it.
And what of Barak Obama and the part he is playing. At the beginning of his term, he made speeches to the muslim world, extending his hand in friendship (at the time somebody warned that it was like shaking hands with the devil). After all, it was his charisma and his oratory prowess accompanied by a big smile that won him the presidency. Why not conquer the world with that brilliant smile? To confirm his genius, he was awarded the Nobel peace prize. Thats when it all started to go wrong. The muslim world regarded his bowing and kowtowing as weakness. Just another infidel, easily manipulated.
Then came Tunisia, Egypt and the rest of the arab world. A shrinking US economy, a devastating loss at election time and a lack of backbone, accompanied by a show of disrespect for Mubarak served to convince the forces of Islam that the time was right to strike. One US ally after another is under attack. The Palestinian arabs sensed the weakness coming out of Washington and moved to replace the US partner with the UN. Out comes the veto and the Palestinian arabs call for a day of rage against the US. Abbas shows his true colours and jumps on the bandwagon. All in all, a sad state of affairs. Serious mismanagement with its roots in day one of this administration. In comparison even George Bush is starting to look good here.
"Day of rage" - something only Muslims could come up with. Problem is Islam gives them nothing but a whole life of rage and when they die they will find an eternity of rage. The rest of the world needs to be enraged with Islam and keep it out of the West so that we can live in peace and not deal with the constant and eternal outrage of Islam. Unfortunately that appears to be a pipe dream as 1.3 billion hungry muslims in a world of shrinking US influence, and an inability to compete economically, begin the process of self -destruction. The only question in my mind, is who they will take down with them.
