Old_Airman_2000,
I completely agree with all of those thoughts. Every single one.
But right now I don’t think, overall, our civilization has a consensus to preserve itself, its heritage, and its values. Go on EVERY BLOG, including Robert Spencer’s jihadwatch.org, and you will inevitably find at least one (and often more) commenter who will put any and all of the excuses that are used to give Islam the benefit of the doubt and cast us into the role of the bad guys. We are really up against it, because maybe most of our own people are in a fog about this, and a solid minority of that group is on the side of the jihadists.
I am convinced beyond all doubt that we will never be able to effectively deal with this threat to our civilization by Islam until we have dealt decisively with our internal enemies. That Fifth Column, both Marxist and Islamic, has a k-bar knife right against our carotid artery.
