Editor, Times-Union: There is a question no one seems to have the guts to ask President Obama: Is Isis and other terrorist goups doing the will of God or the will of Satan? The Bible says that by their fruits we will know them. If Satan wants his followers to kill others, the answer appears to be obvious. I question whether our president thinks so. I call those who choose to kill others God players. They decide who should live or die. The God players of 9/11 wanted a bigger body count. Knowing that they are being punished in Hell doesn’t make up for the loss of over 3,000 lives. I’ve never heard the president say this. Does he even believe the statement? We are fighting evil people who wrongfully believe God wants them to kill those that don’t believe like they do. God wants people to trust in him. But he never said his people have the right to force others to trust in him or kill the unbelievers. Am I an infidel because I want to peacefully serve the one true God who created the universe and told us to love our neighbors, or is the one who honors the desires of Satan an infidel? President Clinton wanted to manage terrorism. We know how successful that strategy has been. Evil must be destroyed and not tolerated because toleration brought down the towers on 9/11. If terrorism is like a cancer, shouldn’t it be destroyed instead of lived with and hope it doesn’t kill you? The war against terrorism should be fought like a war and not a police action. The Korean Conflict was called a police action and our enemies still exist and are stronger that they were 60 years ago. Obama may have less than two years left in office. But what he does or doesn’t do in that time might determine if America survives terrorism. Speeches against ISIS without the ability to destroy the God players would make as much sense as sending a lion tamer into a cage of hungry lions wearing a suit made of raw meat. Rick Badman Warsaw
