COLUMN: Religious beliefs may threaten U.S. liberties

The Daily Lobo recently pub-lished

letters outlining the connec-tion

between Marxist movements

and the anti-war movement.

Their letters only scratched the

surface of the threat to our rights

and liberties these pseudo-Marxist

anti-freedom groups represent. I

don’t know if our protesting broth-ers

and sisters realize how danger-ous

their ideologies are and how

destructive to our way of life their

actions are becoming.

But Marx isn’t the only threat

looming in the background of the

anti-war movement — he exists

only on the fringe. There are a cou-ple

of other thinkers in the main-stream

whose messages are far

more destructive to the security of

our American freedoms.

One of these subversives is a

man who his followers call Jesus

Christ.

Christ advocates many anti-American

thoughts such as a policy

of “turning the other cheek” in the

face of violence, and advocates

such communist notions such as

“the meek shall inherit the Earth.”

What kind of pro-labor anti-American

crap is this? In his so-called

“Holy Bible,” Matthew

7:12, Jesus says: “All things what-soever

ye would that men should

do to you, do ye even so to them:

for this is the law of the prophets.”

This Jesus character doesn’t even

speak American right. The chilling

thing here is that a majority of

Americans and one-third of the

entire world population, about 2

billion people, follow the ridicu-lous

ideas of this raving left-wing

fanatic.

And there are still more leaders

whose ideas are destructive to

American liberties. One is a man

named Mohammed. His dangerous

anti-American notions, while not

popular here in the United States,

are very popular abroad. In fact, 1.3

billion people worldwide listen to

this man’s madness like: “No one

of you is a believer until he desires

for his brother that which he desires

for himself.” Sounds pretty social-ist

to me.

But the list doesn’t stop there. A

group of 900 million people who

call themselves the Hindus carry

around anti-American propaganda

in their holy books, too. Their

Mahabharata states: “Do naught to

others which if done to thee would

cause you pain.” Well I ask their

Krishna this: How are we supposed

to get our oil for cheap without vio-lence?

Even Jews have anti-American

propaganda in some of

their holy writings. The Talmud

states, “What is hateful to you, do

not to your fellow men. That is the

entire Law, all the rest is commen-tary.”

Well, where were the Jews on

Sept. 11? Obviously, this is a group

of people who have no idea what a

tragedy or a crime against humani-ty

is.

Finally, a group of 360 million

people following some lefty named

Buddha espouses such ridiculous-ness

as “Hurt not others with that

which pains yourself,” from the

Udana-Varga. Obviously this

Buddha character hasn’t thought

through the economic benefits of

taking over Iraq to further our oil

supply.

Fellow Americans, I hope you

find the above as disturbing as you

ought to. These so-called religious

leaders threaten American interests

on every front and their numbers

are overwhelming. Only with our

trademarked American persever-ance

and weapons of mass destruc-tion

can we possibly intimidate all

these subversives into seeing things

our way. Let’s roll!
