We have reached a point in our nation’s descent into psychotic tribalist fear where
people of stature and apparent sobriety unabashedly use the expression
“final solution” when discussing the existence of Muslims.
For ISIS “and those similarly motivated,” insists retired Marine Lt. Col. James G. Zumwalt in an essay published by Family Security Matters, “a rational world should recognize but one `final solution’ exists – their extinction.”
For Zumwalt. “those similarly motivated” is an expansive category,
which includes not only “al-Qaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Taliban, the
mullahs of Iran, Somalia’s Shababb, [and the] Khorasan group,” but also
their Muslim victims. On the basis of murkily sourced atrocity accounts
and propaganda videos of dubious provenance, Zumwalt concludes that the
victims of ISIS exhibit a “Muslim death wish” by supposedly allowing
themselves to be killed without seeking “to overpower their captors.”
“The message to take from Muslim victims unwilling to save themselves
to pursue their promised afterlife should be clear: their murderers
will never be convinced to stop killing,” asserts Zumwalt. An unspoken
but undeniable corollary of his view is that wholesale annihilation of
Muslim populations is strategically necessary and morally justifiable,
because Muslim victims of terrorism are infected with the same
“ideology” as their captors.
Zumwalt is a prominent a mouthpiece for the Military-Industrial
Complex, and it’s not surprising that his views are echoed by other
members of the Pentagon-aligned Commentariat. For example, Retired Army
Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer claims that Syrians under siege by ISIS have pleaded, “Please bomb us! We’d rather be bombed and dead, than raped by ISIS.” MORE
