We should not be the only folks in South Jersey to hold an event to remember Richard Somers.

Above Image: Statue and Park Dedicated to Richard Somers. We invite you to join us as we tell his story at 10am on September 4, the day he died in Tripoli in 1804. The park is located next to the library at 801 Shore Road (at New Jersey Avenue), in Somers Point.

To the best of my knowledge, we are the only organization in South Jersey that will remember Richard Somers on September 4, the day he was killed in Tripoli in 1804.  We are holding an event by the Richard Somers Park in Somers Point at 10 am on Friday, September 4-- the Friday before Labor Day weekend. We invite you to join us.

Richard Somers died in a war against the same people we are now fighting in Iran. They are the same people who murdered 3,000 Americans in New York City and in Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001. The same enemy that captured and took more - than a million white Christians - as slaves from Europe and made them slaves - in Africa - for more than a thousand years. And the - same people who captured more than 5 million Black Africans as slaves throughout the Arab world.

Many organizations will remember September 11.  However, nobody else is holding an event to remember when Americans fought back and defeated those people. Not the Atlantic County Historical Society. Not the Somers Point Historical Society. Not the Ocean City or Cape May County historical societies. Not a single town, not a single library.

Book Promotion: By the way, the back story of the vicious attacks by Muslim Arabs and Turks against Christians in Europe and Blacks in Africa is described in my book, 1676 Project, how New Jersey shaped America.

Why don't we talk about "moderate" Muslims?

First, there is several fundamental differences between Islam and other world religions.  Judaism and Christianity are both based on the Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would want others to do to you." Buddhists and Hindus have similar values.  Islam does not.  Non-believers, no matter how good, and loving, and fair, have no place is Islam.

Because of this, if a Muslim jihadi attacks, murders, rapes or commits any other barbaric crime against a non-Muslim in the name of Islam, you will not find any Islamic religious or community leader openly denounce the attack and claim that that the attacker was a disgrace to Islam.  On the contrary, most leaders will insist on a proper Islamic burial for the perpetrator.

It is the total opposite for Jews and Christians. In 1994, one Jew went crazy and murdered 29 Arabs who were praying in Hebron.  Every Jewish religious and political openly denounced what he did. They would not let his body be buried in a Jewish cemetery.   In 2009, someone shot and killed an abortion doctor.  Every Christian and pro-life leader openly denounced that murderer.

Maybe we would look at so-called moderate Muslims differently if they openly and publicly denounced every Muslim who attacks and kills non-Muslims in the name of Islam. But they never, never do. They instead come up with some excuse to blame the victim.  You simply cannot live in a normal society where someone you think is a peaceful neighbor can attack you out of the blue like that. You also can't have a normal democracy where every member of one religion will automatically vote only for members of that religion and against anyone who is not a believer of that religion.
