World Crisis Alert: Guantanamo Bay detainees don't want
to eat. Muslim rapper Yasiin "Mos Def" Bey is so worked up about
their appetite plight that he videotaped himself being force-fed to build
support for closing Gitmo. Cry me a river.
This latest round of hunger strikes isn't an
international human rights tragedy. It's another manipulative act of Jihad
Theater.
Have you forgotten? Calculated Gitmo fabulism goes back
to 2005, when Newsweek fell for false rumors that U.S. soldiers
"flushed" the Koran down a toilet at the military detention facility
in Cuba. Gullible media reports of "desecration" provided a handy
pretext for anti-American riots across the Muslim world that resulted in nearly
a dozen deaths. Detainees later 'fessed up that the conflagration stemmed from
one of their own dropping the Koran in prison and blaming a guard.
Meanwhile, it was Gitmo residents themselves who were
purposefully tearing up Korans. One guard reported in May 2003: "Detainee
residing in cell (redacted) block tore his Quran into small pieces."
Another prisoner "did intentionally destroy his Quran and throw (it) out
of his cell," according to a separate government report.
Al-Qaida explicitly instructs its operatives to lie. A
central jihad tenet, taqiyya, encourages Islamists to use deceit and victim
politics to wage war. And while soft-on-terror sympathizers cast our military
personnel as ruthless war criminals, Gitmo detainees have violently attacked
them with everything from makeshift weapons and radios to disgusting cocktails
of blood, vomit, feces, urine and sperm.
To date, there are no reports of detainees attacking our
guards with the dozens of Sony PlayStations, Nintendo DS consoles, art supplies
and DVDs that detainees have been given over the years. The toys and crafts are
off limits!
Have you forgotten? The Gitmo stuntmen coordinated
suicide threats to drum up global outrage over America's decision to hold and
try them in our military system, instead of in our civilian court system. These
sabotage strikes were clear acts of asymmetric warfare by cold-blooded terror
operatives versed in exploitation of Western sensibilities and civil liberties.
Detainees considered suicides at the facility acts of martyrdom and "a
continuance of their jihad against the U.S.," according to leaked
documents. Military commanders discovered that detainees were abusing
confidential attorney-client privileges by hiding notes and plots in special
envelopes protected from the guards' reach.
Sound familiar? The same kind of subversive techniques
were used by convicted jihad legal helper Lynne Stewart, who smuggled coded
messages of Islamic violence on behalf of her client -- jailed terrorist Sheik
Omar Abdel-Rahman, mastermind of the 1993 WTC bombing and spiritual instigator
of the 1997 massacre of Western tourists in Luxor, Egypt, and the 9/11 attacks.
Also forgotten in all the knee-jerk hoopla over the Gitmo
food fight: just how much American officials have bent over backward to
accommodate militant detainees' demands. In his 2005 tell-all book condemning
Gitmo, turncoat army sergeant Erik Saar inadvertently exposed our suicidal
restraint and indulgence.
Each detainee's cell has a sink installed low to the
ground for feet-washing before prayer, Saar reported. Detainees get "two
hot halal, or religiously correct, meals" a day in addition to an MRE
(meal ready to eat). Loudspeakers broadcast the Muslims' call to prayer
throughout the day. Every detainee gets a prayer mat, cap and Koran. Every cell
has a stenciled arrow pointing toward Mecca. And Gitmo's library -- yes,
library -- is stocked with jihadi books. "I was surprised that we'd be
making that concession to the religious zealotry of the terrorists," Saar
admitted.
It's no surprise that President Overseas Contingency
Operation is bowing to the cunning grievance-mongers. As former federal
prosecutor Andrew McCarthy explains: "The hunger strike is on because the
jihadists figure Obama is ripe for the taking." Faraway drones are A-OK,
"but he is petrified by the prospect of performance-art jihad: the
languishing martyrdom of self-starving death cultists, whose rapt audience of
Obama favorites -- Brotherhood front groups and the Lawyer Left -- remind the
administration every long day that he promised to shut this theater down almost
five years ago."
Don't be distracted by Cirque du Jihad. Remember: The
Close Gitmo mob, led by the left-wing Center for Constitutional Rights, lobbied
for the release of Libyan Gitmo detainee Abu Sufian bin Qumu -- now a fugitive
terrorist suspected of plotting the bloody Benghazi attack.
Remember: Obama's terror-coddling lawyers have dragged
their feet on prosecuting suspected U.S.S. Cole bombing suspect and former
Persian Gulf Operations Chief for al-Qaida Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, a Gitmo
detainee since 2006.
Remember: As Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder
spearhead renewed efforts to close Gitmo, intelligence officials report that
27.9 percent of the 599 former detainees released from Guantanamo were either
confirmed or suspected of later engaging in jihadist attacks. That's a 2.9 percent
rise over the 25 percent aggregate recidivism rate reported in 2010.
Remember, as Fort Hood jihadist Nidal Hasan warned his
military superiors: The soldiers of Allah "love death more (than) you love
life."
The enemy combatants at Gitmo are playing bleeding-heart
Westerners for fools. Their eternal goal is the destruction and subjugation of
infidels. Why do we continue to enable them? Let them starve.
