The Libertarian Defense Caucus

In my last post I referred to Islamic terrorists as “Islamofascist Tangos”. Well just what is a “Tango”?

A Tango is a term primarily used by SOFs in the field or slang to refer to terrorists or more generally “targets”. If you recall, Charlie was the American moniker for the Vietcong terrorists during the Vietnam War. It came about due to the Vietcong’s abbreviation “VC” or when talking phonetically on a radio “Victor Charlie” or “Charlie” for short. Tango came about the same way with terrorists or targets being referred to simply as “T”.

From Urban Dictionary:

Tango Down
A word used to describe a terorist that has been eleminated. It is mainly used by the Special Forces to describe an eleminated enemy during a firefight.
Nice job taking that Tango down.

Tango 6 O’clock. Roger that Tango down.

I hope this cleared some things up.

LDC has seen the U.S. military start to heavily rely on this bird for air support of special operations forces (SOFs) in Afghanistan as recent as last year when SecDef Robert Gates pushed for the Air Force to speed up the UAV program. The Reaper, essentially the Predator on steroids has seen a lot of success in America’s fight against Islamofascism.

LDC hopes to see more utilization and use of this remarkable aircraft in the future due to it’s stellar capbility to hunt down and kill specific Islamofascist Tangos and support our men and women on the ground against possible threats. Please watch this video for more:

Islamofascist organization, the Taliban has now apparently engaged in bioterrorism with a WMD.

Various international media are reporting on a serious incident from yesterday in northern Afghanistan. There are conflicting reports and numbers of injuries, but as many as 50 teenage girls have been admitted to a nearby hospital with various illnesses and ailments resulting from an apparent gassing.

“I am pretty sure whoever has done this is against education for girls, but I strongly ask the parents not to be discouraged by such brutal action and send their children to school,” said Noor Jahan, a ninth grader at Ura Jalili Girls’ High School.

In another room a mother sat beside her unconscious daughter’s bed, crying and rubbing the girl’s forehead. Around her lay several dazed and pale schoolmates.

“I was in a lesson when suddenly two classmates lost consciousness and collapsed,” said Nabila, a 21-year-old in one of the beds. Years of war and unrest mean children often finish school late in Afghanistan.

Ok, I just wanted to clear something up from my last post, I do not advocate a war on Islam like some have claimed to or a war just on Islamofascism (I want a war on it, but not JUST them as the target). I believed George Bush when he dubbed it a War on Terrorism, it was a war or conflict against terrorist ideologies. All of these ideological groups have links with each other, it’s a network or a “ring” (I’ll explain that later) we are fighting against.

Here is a list of threats ordered from most important to least (from top to bottom):

Islamofascists
Narco-Terrorists
Pirates
Marxists/Leninists/Socialists/Maoists/Communists
Neo-Nazis/Neofascists/Christofascists
Violent Anarchists
Irish Republicans
Ulster Loyalists
Eco-Terrorists

Are we clear now? These groups are what I mean by “terrorism” when I say “War on Terrorism”.

Note:

This list can and most likely will be changed or modified from time to time as I or another administrator sees fit.

Islamofascism is four ideologies rolled into one:

Islamism- A government should be a totalitarian theocracy (Islamic in this case) essentially and that making laws, judgments, rules, and governmental standards all entirely based off solely the Qur’an is the best form of government.
Pan-Islamism- A government should as stated above, but it shouldn’t just be one or a few nation’s government, the whole world should be under one caliphate or world government ruled by a caliph (who would also be head of the Islamic church).
Islamic fundamentalism- The belief that Muslims have lost their way in the religion, and that people who are not Muslims are either destroying the world, evil, the devil in disguise, or some other religious claim and that they should be stopped. Also, they believe that Muslims are the only good people on the planet, and that all non-Muslims should either convert or die.
Jihadism/Qutbism/Khomeinism- The belief that all these stated goals should be acquired through jihad, mujahideen, or holy war. That you must actively take up arms against “infidels”, support the holy war in any way you can; financially, arm the terrorist groups, create political support in communities, governments, and establishments. This was the view of Sayyid Qutb, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. You could also draw links to Khomeini’s teachings, you see he believed in total Muslim unity and social solidarity (total white unity and social solidarity was a main ‘virtue’ of Hitler), as well as the export of Islamic revolution throughout the world: “Establishing the Islamic state world-wide belong to the great goals of the revolution.” Another name for these all these Qutb/Khomeini views would be Jihadism, this is essentially the Islamofascist form of bellism (fascist/Nazi philosophy of “war for the sake of war”, taken from the greek word for war “bellica”).

Islamofascism, is, essentially, a religious version of neofascism (any fascist thought after WWII). I do not want to insult Muslims when I use this term, I am trying to help them when I use this term. I want the real Muslims, the sane Muslim people that I know exist to start identifying these fascists in their communities so they can shun them, excommunicate them, and stop this political movement’s strangle hold on the religion so all may have peace again. Please, this is a message to all Muslims, only you can stop these monsters in the most important battlefield; the battlefield of your hearts and minds.

UPDATE:

I would also like to inform our Muslim libertarian friends that I honestly do not seek at all to define your religion as fascist in any way. I am merely stating that fascists have twisted your belief in the Qur’an in their rhetoric for their own gain of power. This can happen to any religion, you are not the only ones; if you don’t believe me please read this article on Christofascism.
