Diversity – Today’s Trojan Horse

The more I see the apathy when it comes to recognizing the threat of radical Islam against our nation, rights and freedoms, the more I understand the power of the Trojan Horse being accepted through our gates willingly, and embraced through sheer ignorance by uniformed masses and gullible politicians. Overt acts of terrorism are not labeled as such by leaders living in denial.

If you remember the ancient story, the people of Troy accepted the "gift" of a large wooden horse left for them by the Greeks. As the Greeks sailed away the people of Troy brought it into their city thinking it a trophy of their victory. Then, during the night, while the people slept soundly in their beds, the wooden body of the horse opened and Greek soldiers emerged and opened the city gates from within to allow the rest of the returning Greek army to enter. About 40 of them hid in the body, while two spies hid in the mouth of the horse.

While they slept, the citizens of Troy were defeated because of their own unwillingness to assess the dangers posed by this "gift" and their quickness to blindly accept it. While some historians differ on the true meaning of the Trojan Horse and as to whether it was actually a wooden horse that soldiers hid inside of to gain entrance into the city, the end result was the same and the analogy is worth contemplating in today’s world.

We are told every day that diversity is a gift, that it is what has made America what it is, that we should embrace with open arms and trusting hearts everyone in good faith. Security is slackened and made less effective through blindly following political correctness guidelines. Our Southern border is as porous as a screen door. Our security as a nation is no longer seen as a top priority of politicians who give lip service to the idea while undermining the actual implementation of strong measures to assure our safety.

We celebrate diversity as if that is of and by itself a blessing that outweighs the risks it brings. We welcome with open arms threat after threat and then refuse to watch and see what that means for us and what the enemy is doing here in our own backyard.

We have blindly accepted the "gift" and during the hours we least expect it, while we sleep a deceptive sleep, this “gift” will be our undoing and lead to the destruction of the country we were responsible for defending. We smile as we lay our heads down at night believing we are safe when all the while, standing within our walls, is a Trojan Horse of massive proportion.

The Trojan War ended with that siege that night and the invading army became the victors, the masters of the people of Troy. They lost their sovereignty. They lost their freedom. They lost their way of life literally overnight. When they thought they had won, they had welcomed their own destruction.

Unless we wake up today, this battle we wage against devout terrorists and those who openly seek our destruction will be lost. The gift we so readily accepted will become the weapon that is used to defeat us. We have organization operating within our borders that seek to throw out our Constitution and replace it with Sharia Law, the barbaric Islamic form of government which justifies public stoning for adultery, imprisonment, beheadings, and mutilation for punishment for crimes.

So-called “Honor Killings” of family members are done without remorse and the throwing of acid in the faces of women and teenage girls have scarred hundreds for life. Yet here in America, in the name of diversity and tolerance, we embrace every culture irresponsibly in good faith and refuse to see what is right before our eyes.

It should be noted that there were those in that ancient city of Troy that did not trust the gift and spoke against it. Some that knew the truth were killed to stop their warning the people. Some were simply dismissed and ignored and considered misguided. Even the King’s own daughter Cassandra voiced a warning and was ignored. The people were gullible and wanted the gift considering it a trophy of victory when in fact it was the tool of their demise.

Just as in America today, the voice of reason and caution is being ignored, discredited and even railed against. Those that dare to speak up are labeled racist, bigots and hate-mongers nullifying their voice while the dangers continue to go unrecognized.

Our refusal to heed these voices will end in the same "Game Over" scenario as it did for the people of Troy. Refusing to acknowledge the wiles of the enemy spelled their defeat in the war. Will we fall prey to the consequences of refusing to listen? With our leaders among those who have been fooled by the "gift", it is up to us, you and I, to voice the call of danger and to ring the alarm. It always was up to us.

This Republic of America was created to be “of, by and for the people”, not merely the politicians with shameful motives and irresponsible self-interests guiding their actions. Everyday they exhibit their tone-deafness to the concerns of the people and they do whatever they want to do anyway with no regard to the wishes of those who put them in power. Corrupt politicians feel they have a better feel of what we need and we are shut out of the processes that shape our lives.

There are still voices to be heard in America and we ignore them to our peril. Not all gifts are given with pure motives and accepting everything on face value is neither prudent nor wise. Those that we foolishly allow entrance into our country, those who have come for vengeance and to bring the war to our streets must be marked as what they are.

A survey taken of practicing Muslims living in America a couple of years ago found that 25% of them believe that under some circumstances, suicide bombing of innocent people is acceptable. This poll was conducted not on some foreign rocky hillside in Afghanistan but on our streets, behind our gates, as it were. And we still refuse to listen and welcome the “gift” of diversity with open arms.

The FBI has estimated that 10% of the 2000 mosques (200) in America preach anti-American hatred and yet we would rather turn our heads and hope for the best because we don’t want to confront an enemy in our midst. We are more concerned about Muslim community anger and outrage and hurting their feelings than the safety of our own populace. We are running out of time. The Trojan Horse is already within our gates.

Diversity, this insidious Trojan Horse of today, is one “gift horse” we must “look in the mouth”.
