  • If you ask me, the following message is not strong or informative enough:


    "Those who feel like they can intimidate our fellow citizens to take out their anger don't represent the best of America. They represent the worst of humankind. And they should be ashamed of that kind of behavior."


    Though but an excerpt from President Bush's comments at a Washington mosque Monday afternoon, this is so far the most forceful expression of Bush's derision against those who are now serving the terrorist's cause in dividing America through the perpetration of hate crimes directed against the Arab/Muslim and Arab/Muslim look-alike peoples in our country.  And if you ask me, it is well-intended, but weak.


    I feel that Bush must step forward and make a prime-time speech directed at all the American people condemning in the harshest terms possible the racial crimes and hatred correlated with the current terrorist attacks.


    He must make clear that such acts are the equivalent of terrorism and need to be addressed as directly and severely as the primary terrorist threat itself.  He should explain, as I did in a recent blog, that it is not farfetched to expect that some acts of "racial hatred" against Arabs may be staged by Arab terrorists themselves as an attempt to further destabilize and polarize America through the creation of a 'perception' of an atmosphere of hatred.  And that even if they aren’t, they still equally-well serve the terrorist cause of divisiveness.


    He should state that this deviant domestic variant of terror, in creating general alarm and fear in the Arab community, can lead those good citizens with some knowledge and intelligence about the foreign terrorists and their activities to become severely reluctant to divulge that knowledge, not out or fear of Arab terrorist repercussions, but from fear of violent backlash from unidentified non-Arab pseudo-patriotic domestic hate terrorists.  And that if that is so, it is likely that some key intelligence necessary to quickly defeat the foreign terrorists will be lost.  And that the foreign terrorists will thus be allowed to needlessly savage America further before they are tripped up.


    He should lead a crusade against this rabid, destructive outbreak of hate and urge passage of a law that anyone convicted of such hate crimes henceforth, besides incurring all current maximum penalties, also will be labeled a "hate predator" and be tracked for the rest of their lives by law enforcement agencies.


    If we are going to defeat terrorism in the world, we must also crush it--and all illegal activities that would bolster it directly or indirectly, (like Andre the Giant would a sniveling opponent), simultaneously at home. 



    For just imagine some day...if this phenomenon of domestic hatred is left effectively unabated, and grows, organizing itself, until it expresses itself internationally.  Under such a scenario, it would become fully justifiable for some "victim" Arab state to target America as a passive harbor of international terror itself!


    NO TOLERANCE NOW FOR TERROR—INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC.
