Carnage was once again unleashed against innocent men, women,
and children by the Daesh Death Cult (AKA ISIS) in Istanbul this week. Three men
seduced by the Death Cult’s false promise of paradise blew themselves up at
Istanbul’s main airport, the third busiest airport in Europe.
The death toll from this attack kept adding up. First reports
indicated 10 dead. Shortly thereafter the number increased to 28. Then, as investigators
flooded the scene and the wounded succumbed to their wounds it rose to 36. This
morning in the news the number of dead from this cowardly attack against
innocents had risen to 41. (Reuters,

The location and nature of this attack by the Daesh Death Cult
is another link in the chain of evidence against any claim the DDC has on the
religion of Islam. Most of the dead and wounded are Muslims, including most of
the non-Turkish people killed in the blast. This vicious, mindless attack
proves once again that the self-proclaimed Islamic State is neither Islamic nor
is it a State. It is a hatemongering death cult led by a psychopath, manned by
the world’s losers, disillusioned, and outcasts, whose purpose in existing is
to spread death and fear among all the people of the world.
How do we begin to subtract from the numbers of mostly young men
who flock to join the DDC’s ranks? How do we combat the mindset sending these
young people willingly to their deaths believing the false promises of the Cult’s
leaders that paradise awaits them just the other side of the blast?
In the short term, we can block the routes these young people,
who have been seduced by the sick and twisted ideology of the Cult, use to
travel to join. We can destroy the DDC on the ground in Syria and Iraq and
anywhere else they gather. We can shut off their sources of outside funding,
destroy their caches of hard currency, take back territory from their fighters,
and bomb the facilities they use to generate revenue. All these things are
being done.
Yet these measures were not enough to stop the Istanbul bombers. They didn't prevent a lone gunman from attacking a
night club in Orlando and killing 49 innocent people. These measures did not
stop the attacks in Paris or Brussels. None of the bombs dropped on DDC
fighters in Syria or Iraq kept the San Bernardino killers from attacking.
Defeating the Daesh Death Cult on the battlefields of Syria and
Iraq and elsewhere must be done, but it is not enough. In order to win this war
against this particular opponent we must discredit and defeat the ideology it
espouses. The world – all the world, not just the US and Europe – must begin a
constant bombardment of propaganda designed to expose the truth about what the
DDC is, how it operates, and the true nature of its leadership.
Make no mistake, Daesh is a Death Cult. It thrives on killing.
Its leadership and its membership are addicted to torturing and killing and
spreading fear and terror. And the message of hate will continue to multiply
unless the world works together to divide and conquer its ideology. For the
sake of our children, it is a fight we cannot afford to lose.
As always, I remain,
