The Radical Islamic Scorpion

A scorpion saw a crocodile lying in the banks of the Nile river. The scorpion asked the crocodile,”Do you want to form an alliance to cross the Nile river?”

The crocodile expressed concern. “But you will sting me.”

The scorpion said,”If I sting you, I will die.”

While crossing the river, the scorpion got mad and stung the crocodile. “What did you do that for, asked the crocodile. He said, “Now we will both die.”

“I know. But this is the Middle East,” said the scorpion.

That is a good tale that describes how irrational the Middle East gets. You can certainly say that the Islamists are the scorpion. Like the scorpion, they don’t mind dying to get what they want. Though the difference is that the scorpion was mad. But the Islamic Fundamentalists are a global movement. Unlike the scorpion, Islamic Fundamentalists don’t believe that they’ll truely die. they believe that they and the “true” Muslims will go to heaven while the infidels go to hell. They believe that they’re fighting a holy war for Allah against infidels to impose the “true” religion, that is “true” Islam i.e. their medival fascist interpretation of Islam, on the world. Islamic Fundamentalists believe that if they die to achieve that purpose, they’ll go to heaven. That’s where the suicide bombers and 9/11 hijackers come from.

One of the major exporters of radical Islam is Iran. A nuclear armed Iran will result in a nuclear scorpion. Islamic Fundamentalists brag all the time that they value death like how their enemies, i.e. the west, loves life. They call for “martyrdom.” as long as they win, they don’t mind destroying their own countries regardless if they’re the regimes in those countries or not.

People sometimes mistake that they care about Muslim life, when the truth says otherwise. They kill Muslims who courageously speak up against them. They don’t mind having more Muslims die, they’ll just go to heaven.

When it comes to the question of whether the Iranian regime will use their nuclear weapons, some people use the concept of Mutually Assured Destruction [MAD]. They’re the crocodile in the story. They think that well, Iran won’t actually use their nuclear weapons because we can destroy them. The crocodile thought the same way, well the scorpion won’t sting me because he’ll die to. After all, the Iranian regime supposedly “loves their children.” Actually, they don’t. Iran has an oppressive system that kills, arrests and tortures political opponents. But other than that, radical Islam promotes death and destruction.

So the ideology of the Iranian regime, that is radical Islam, makes MAD a useless deterrent against the Iranian regime. Iran doesn’t mind nuclear destruction if the “Little Satan” [Israel] and the “Great Satan” [America] are destroyed and radical Islam is imposed on the world. After all, to radical Islam including the Iranian regime, Muslims go to heaven and infidels go to hell. So the Islamic Fundamentalist thinking including the thinking of the Iranian regime is that if they die, they’ll go to heaven while the infidels go to hell. Islamic Fundamentalists believe that they’re obligated by Allah to carry out this war on the infidels.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran’s current President, seeks to bring out the twelfth imam as fast as possible. To Ahmadinejad, the twelfth imam won’t come out until there is an apocalyptic war, where radical Islam wins, and he comes out. Considering those facts, Iran seeks to become the nuclear scorpion. All those who believes that MAD is a deterrent to Iran and that radical Islam cares about Muslim life and is unwilling to sacrifice their own followers are simply crocodiles. The crocodile fell for the scorpion’s lie that death is a deterrent and was stung on his way while crossing the Nile river. We must not be crocodiles. The west needs to wake up about the threat from radical Islam and to how dangerous a nuclear-armed Iran is for humanity.
