The Key To Reduce Muslim Support For A Caliphate

It is often very rare that with Lorreta Sanchez my views would coincide

But she is right on her views of support for a Caliphate  as we witness a rising jihadist tide

Radical Islam is not a 1300 year old locust that in the guise of Al Qaeda, Hamas, the Taliban or ISIS suddenly hatched

From apostate Muslims, Christians and the West peace and tranquility, freedom from violence suddenly snatched

Go back to the First Barbary Coast War where the Islamists off the Barbary Coast were seizing American ships

Selling their crews into slavery’s deadly grip

Their justification is chilling because it is so faith based and paradise’s entry key

Why the rise of ISIS we did not or under the mantra of we’ve killed bin Laden would not foresee

In 1786 Jefferson and Adams sailed to London to Tripoli’s Ambassador meet

To negotiate a treaty with Tripoli to end attacks on our ships by the Barbary Coast fleet

When ask why the Barbary Coast Pirates needed to  the rules of civilized nations defy

Supposedly this was his chilling and unremorseful reply

“It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners,

Whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave as holy winners;

And that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise.”

With a view of how to get to paradise the suicide bombings, young girls sold as save should not be a surprise

Much like Obama’s reliance solely on attacking from the air

Frigates shelling Barbary Coast forts would be a good compare

When we assembled a force of 8 Marines bolstered by a force of mercenaries 500 strong

Took and held Derna; the stampede of the Barbary Coast Pirates to sign and release their slaves did not take long

Sanchez is right about a significant number of Muslims supporting an Islamic Caliphate

Where within its multination boundaries Christians and Muslim apostates will suffer a dreadful fate

Could be five or twenty percent but until the key to paradise becomes not dying for a jihadist cause

But rather respect for all faiths we are in for a veery long war with very little pause!
