Worth Defending

By Tammy Derouin

There are several examples of what is coming our way.  The Middle East is an inferno.  Saudi Arabia, known for being the “home of Islam,” is building a fence to protect their country from radical Islamic extremists.  But in all fairness, calling it a fence is deceiving.  It’s a high tech security system with several layers of protection which includes fencing but also ditches, sensors, rapid response vehicles, helicopters and watch towers. 

Now let’s think about this for a moment.  Wouldn’t that be like Vatican City building a fence to keep Christian out?  I suppose many on the left would argue that there are extreme Christians.  But, what is their definition of an extreme Christian?   Christians are not handing out death sentences to non-believers.  They are not stoning homosexuals.  They are not oppressing women, honor killing, beheading or burning people alive.  I think even the left would have a difficult time concluding that all extremism is equal. 

Another interesting fact is that the Saudis’ feel their country is worth defending.  They understand the threat of ISIS/ISIL.  They understand, so they naturally want to protect themselves.
