The article below was written by one of our concerned members. Thought you would be interested in reading his viewpoint because he has done his research.

The biggest problem that many people have with Paul’s views is that he does not know how to defend a nation. His “blow-back theory,” i.e. Muslims attack us because of our presence in “Arab lands” is so ludicrous that it makes me want to climb the walls! He is blind to the fact that Muslim pirates presented this nation with its first crisis during George Washington’s presidency. It happened at a time when we had no choice but to have an isolationist policy because we had no navy or standing army. After the war for independence from Britain, the members of our volunteer army went back home, hung their muskets over the fireplace, and continued their domestic life of farming and raising of families. We needed to develop our economy and were attempting to establish foreign trade. Unarmed U.S. merchant ships enroute to ports around the world were being pirated, their crews captured, enslaved, tortured or killed. The first four U.S. Presidents (Washington, Adams, Jefferson and Madison) found themselves having to negotiate and very grudgingly made payments that ranged between 16% - 22% of America’s revenues as “tribute” to these international predators….until we had time to build a navy to protect ourselves. When President George Washington sent John Adams and Thomas Jefferson to Britain to negotiate with the Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, the Dey of Algiers, an Islamist warlord ruling Algeria, who was also the ambassador to Britain, they asked him to explain why Muslims held such hostility to America, a nation with which they had no previous contacts? His reply was that Islam “was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Quran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise.”
Ron Paul’s claim that U.S. presence in so-called “Arab lands” has caused their hostility toward us is totally bogus. He prescribes “isolationism” as the solution. It would be the height of folly to remove our military presence from strategically important foreign outposts. It is precisely because our military stands guard in foreign lands that the economic and political interests of our nation have been protected. While it is true that we should not be the world’s policemen, and that our political leaders have sent our military on missions not relevant to our nation’s best interests; nevertheless, the U.S. Military should have presence in or near where our citizens travel as tourists or to conduct business in any nation deemed by our state department as friendly to the United States. Furthermore, when foreign governments fail to protect our citizens, they should be held accountable by force of arms if necessary.
It seems that we have come full circle. Islam is again rearing its ugly head. Muslims are causing trouble everywhere they reside. Once again, Islam is proving to be a virulent, aggressive international Mafia/criminal organization with a religious front. Muslims continue the tradition of subverting the laws, customs and culture of the host nations where they immigrate. Mohammad began and his followers continue the practice of plundering the wealth of nations. All Muslims are incorrigible members of the most brutal totalitarian organization the world has ever seen. They are responsible for the deaths of over 270 million human beings over their 1,400 year history. Their march across North Africa and southern Europe and eastward to the border of China was an unprovoked assault. Muslims like to point their fingers at the Christian Crusades as being a brutal attack on Muslims, but they fail to disclose that the 1st Crusade didn’t occur until 300 years after Islam’s rape, pillage, enslavement, displacement and/or massacre of the innocent victims in the peaceful nations that it invaded. Mohammad was its Godfather who raised his army by assuaging the guilty consciences of his recruits by legitimizing the basest lust patterns of man’s corrupt nature. He convinced his followers that Allah (Mohammad’s invented god, the chief idol of the Arabs for hundreds of years prior to him) had sanctioned these practices. Furthermore, who could or would dare argue with Allah’s sole representative? He rewarded their victories with the spoils of war, but the sword was ever present to punish those who defied him or renounced the faith. Muslims have a 1,400 year history as international aggressors. They are all citizen-soldiers of a system that is parasitic in nature. Islam began and continues to plunder nations which have made themselves vulnerable because of their lack of military preparedness, and moral decay.
If we survive nationally, it will be because we are the best equipped, best trained military establishment in the world and our troops are lead by type-A personality military leaders who have wisdom, self-control and who are backed up by honorable statesmen in the halls of Congress, and a President who does not dissimulate, and who lets it be known that America will not tolerate abuse of its citizens or its representatives anywhere in the world. Great leaders possess both moral courage and battle courage. America does not want a leader who would have us cower in the corner. Isolationism can be legitimately used as a tactic to regroup forces for a counter attack, but Ron Paul would have us believe that it will appease our enemies. He is a phlegmatic (peace at any price type personality) who might be ok as Treasury Secretary, but certainly not as President. One Jimmy Carter was enough!
Mosques are command and control centers for subversion. Muslims planners are using the 1st amendment (religious freedom) to hijack article 6 (the Supremacy Clause) and replace our Constitution with Sharia law. Islam and ALL of its practitioners are the enemies of all nations. The non-violent ones are “snakes in the egg” waiting for the right climate to hatch out and start biting, injecting the poisonous venom of Islamic law into our Judeo-Christian culture. They are deft practitioners of mind control, portraying Islam as a religion of peace. They have deceived our leaders into placing their operatives in our most sensitive security agencies. Our national security is riddled with domestic and foreign enemies.
Jefferson's victory over the Muslims lives on today in the Marine Hymn, with the line, "From the halls of Montezuma, to the shores of Tripoli, We fight our country's battles in the air, on land and sea." It was to the shores of Tripoli (Libya) that our Marines had to go in order to protect our citizens and their possessions abroad. Seven U.S. warships saw action in the battle to stop Muslim aggression. It took an overwhelming military victory to cause the Muslims to abandon slavery and piracy of our ships. Let us not forget that it was the vigor of our industrial-military complex that enabled us to defend ourselves, a concept that Paul scorns. It is the vigilance and sacrifices of our brave soldiers who guard the gates, plus the grace of God that delivers us and keeps us free.
