Muslims, the Soviet Union and the United States

The mujahideen hated the Soviet people because they had attacked the three things Muslims love most – their faith, their brethren and their land. These Muslims fought to keep the Soviet Union from usurping Islam in Afghanistan, from killing fellow Muslims and from physically destroying a Muslim country.

What, if anything, can be done about this horrendous situation? Scheuer suggests two alternatives: America can change its failed and counterproductive foreign policies or it must wage total war on Osama bin Laden and his Muslim followers in Islamic countries occupied by over a billion people. Since there is never any shortage of Americans ready and willing to instigate and support the second alternative, some of the rest of us might consider working to actualize Scheuer’s first choice.
