I have decided to pursue my teaching credentials, I like history, and will soon be telling some of my fellow students what I learned in Iraq. That is too say what I learned from living and working with Iraqi people, I am by no means a student of Islam, this is just my observation. There are two things I want them to know and think about. The first is that we as Americans should not fear or resent the average Muslim or Muslims in general, Islam, like Cristianity, actually wants its followers or believers to care for one another and respect or differences.

And they do respect and believe in Jesus Christ, he is one of the true prophets. The problem is with the " TAKFIRI". I will let them know what these people are to most Muslims and explain why our focus should always be on the "TAKFIRI" and there is a very real threat to every American from them, as well as a threat to all true Muslims. Muslims hate the "TAKFIRI" more than we ever will.

The second thing I want them to understand is that our own liberal press and just about every politician out there is doing nothing to expose and explain the difference. Why that is I don't know I just know it seems so easy to group all Muslims together.

As I take my walks along the sunny ( sunni ) Santa Barbara beach and hear so many tourists denouce our President and complain about our being in Iraq I wonder how many of them even think about the harm that would come to so many families and children unless we stop the " TAKFIRI " before they spread like a cancer to our shores. They all seem so self rightous and and completly ignorant. All they ever say is " We need to get out of there now!! " go back to their bannana smoothie pat each other on the back for having taken the moral high road. Freedom is something none of them have ever been willing to die for, let alone the people of Iraq who are putting all on the line every day just for a taste of what we are born into.

For those that have fought for it, FREEDOM has a flavor the sheltered will never know.
