THE CONSERVATIVE REVIEW - May 14, 2010
Is the War Coming Home?
by Pat Buchanan
Faisal Shahzad sought to massacre scores of fellow
Americans in Times Square with a bomb made of M-88 fire-
crackers, non-explosive fertilizer, gasoline and alarm
clocks.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab tried to blow up a U.S. airliner
over Detroit with a firebomb concealed in his underpants.
Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan shot dead 13 fellow soldiers at
Fort Hood and wounded 29.
Why did these men attempt the mass murder of Americans who
did no harm to them? What impelled them to seek martyrdom
amid a pile of American corpses?
Though all were Muslims, none seems to have been a long-
time America-hater or natural-born killer. Hasan was proud
to wear Army fatigues to mosque. Shahzad had become a U.S.
citizen. Abdulmutallab was the privileged son of a
prominent Nigerian banker.
The New York Times ties all three to the Internet sermons
of Anwar al-Awlaki, a Yemen-based imam born and educated
in the United States who inspires Muslims worldwide to
jihad against America. But, following Sept. 11, al-Awlaki
had been seen as a bridge between Islam and the West.
Now President Obama has authorized his assassination.
What do the four have in common?
All were converted in manhood into haters of America will-
ing to kill and die in a jihad against America. And the
probability is high that there are many more like them
living amongst us who wish to bring the war in the Af-Pak
here to America.
But what radicalized them? And why do they hate us?

Taking a cue from George W. Bush, Mayor Michael Bloomberg
said of the Times Square bomber, "We will not be intimidat-
ed by those who hate the freedoms that make... this country
so great."
This was the mantra after Sept. 11. We are hated not
because of what we do in the Middle East, but because of
who we are: people who love freedom and stand for women's
rights.
And that is why they hate us -- and why they come to kill
us.
In a way this is a comforting thought, because it absolves
us of the need to think. For no patriotic American is going
to demand we surrender our freedom to prevent fanatics
from attacking us.
The Wall Street Journal's Bret Stephens advances a parallel
view. We are hated, he says, because of our popular culture.
We are loathed in the Islamic world, Stephens writes,
because of "Lady Gaga -- or, if you prefer, Madonna,
Farrah Fawcett, Marilyn Monroe, Josephine Baker or any
other American woman who has... personified what the
Egyptian Islamist writer Sayyid Qutb once called 'the
American Temptress.'"
This hatred is at least 60 years old, says Stephens, for
Qutb wrote even before "Elvis, Playboy, the pill, women's
lib, acid tabs, gay rights, Studio 54, Jersey shore and...
Lady Gaga."
Qutb's revulsion at American degeneracy is why his legion
of Islamic followers hate us.
Again, a comforting thought. For, if Lady Gaga is the
problem, there is nothing we Americans can do about it.
Yet, this is as self-delusional as saying the FLN set off
bombs in movie theaters and cafes in Algiers to kill the
French because of what Brigitte Bardot was doing on screen
in "And God Created Woman."

American's toxic culture may be a reason devout Muslims
detest us. It is not why they come here to kill us.
Mohammed Atta's friends did not target Hollywood, but
centers and symbols of U.S. military and political power.
U.S. Marines were not attacked by Hezbollah until we
inserted those Marines into Lebanon's civil war. No Iraqi
committed an act of terror against us before we invaded
Iraq. And if the Sept. 11 killers were motivated by hatred
of the immorality of our society, what were they doing
getting lap dances in Delray Beach?
Osama bin Laden declared war on us, first and foremost, to
end the massive U.S. presence on sacred Saudi soil that is
home to Mecca and Medina.
Some may insist this was not his real motive. But, apparent-
ly, the Saudis believed him, for they quickly kicked us out
of Prince Sultan Air Base.
As for the Taliban, they would surely make short work of
Lady Gaga. But their stated grievance is the same as Gen.
Washington's in our war with the British: If you want
this war to end, get out of our country.
By Occam's razor, the simplest explanation is usually the
right one. Looking at America's wars in Iraq, Afghanistan
and Pakistan, Maj. Hasan, Abdulmutallab and Shahzad decided
that what we call the war on terror was in reality a war
on Islam.
All decided to use their access to exact retribution for
our killing of their fellow Muslims.
We are being attacked over here because we are over there.
Nor is it a good sign that U.S. intelligence is reporting
that rising numbers of U.S. Muslims are making Internet
inquiries about how and where to get training to bring the
war home to America.
