G*d By Any Other Name

I was reflecting on a recent news story about a Catholic priest who suggested using a more multi-cultural name for G*d. Theological debates aside, I began to ponder the true motivation behind this type of thinking and I kept coming to the same conclusion. Well intentioned yet ignorant people who are blinded by their idealism. People like this and others really do not understand the evil that faces Western Civilization. Sun Tzu said "So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will win a hundred times in a hundred battles. If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you win one and lose the next. If you do not know yourself or your enemy, you will always lose. " I am afraid that many people really do not understand the enemy and that ignorance will continue to prove more costly as time progresses and we continue to give up ground in this battle.

If the televised pictures of gleeful multitudes rejoicing at the falling of the twin towers, the gruesome beheadings of innocent people circulating the Internet, nor the cuddly Farfur instructing children to become suicide bombers are not enough to get people to realize the danger, I doubt that this article will either. However, it does provide one more piece of corroborative evidence for those of us who understand the threat.

If our media and leaders exhibited only a fraction of the courage of this woman, we would be much safer.
