Dr. Keith Ablow Provides IS With The Perfect Recuritng Tool

Dr. Keith Ablow is an American psychiatrist and contributor to Fox News over the last several years the good Doctor has made a number of controversial statements but his latest pronouncement is a step to far and will be used by Islamic State (IS) to recruit fighters.   His commentary published at FoxNews.com will allow IS to show clear evidence that Western governments are at war with Islam.
The commentary is entitled

 

It’s time for an “American jihad”

    
An American jihad would embrace the correct belief that if every nation on earth were governed by freely elected leaders and by our Constitution, the world would be a far better place. And an American jihad would not only hope for this outcome, but work toward it.
[...]
We would urge our leaders, after their service in the U.S. Senate and Congress, to seek dual citizenship in other nations, like France and Italy and Sweden and Argentina and Brazil and Germany, and work to influence those nations to adopt laws very much like our own. We might even fund our leaders' campaigns for office in these other nations.
We would accept the fact that an American jihad could mean boots on the ground in many places in the world where human rights are being denigrated and horrors are unfolding. Because wherever leaders and movements appear that seek to trample upon the human spirit, we have a God-given right to intervene -- because we have been to the mountaintop of freedom, and we have seen the Promised Land spanning the globe.
[...]
An American jihad would make every tax dollar a tithing and the squandering of those dollars a sin. An American jihad would make every hour spent working in an American company -- or founding one -- an offering. An American jihad would make every teacher of American history not only a public servant, but a servant of the Truth.
We the People of the United States are good and we are right. And we need the spirit of an American jihad to properly invite, intensify and focus our intentions to preserve, protect and defend our Constitution here at home, and to seek to spread its principles abroad.
American imperialism began with the Black Fleet sailing into Tokyo bay and forcing the Japanese government to "open up" to the world outside.  Throughout the last half of the 19 century and into the first half of the 20th America set about assuring its place in the world through imperialism, American exceptional-ism and manifest destiny.  

Along comes Dr. Keith Ablow who pens an opinion piece longing for the return of these failed policies.
