Dear Mr. Strawn,
Informative piece, but you are assuming that Mr. McFarlane does not have the same 20/20 hindsight that you do. The only way to make no mistakes is to do nothing. Hopefully Bud’s hindsight is as good as yours.
Bill,
I am with you. The source of the problem is a newly powerful ideology, radical Islam, in the form of Saudi Arabia funded Wahabi Islam, which has spent over $100 Billion proselytizing in the Muslim world since the early ’80′s. In that part of the world $100 Billion buys lots of maddrasas and mosques and pays lots of teachers and preachers.
How do we fight this successfully? $100 Billion to the Mormons? $100 Billion for Satellite dishes so they can have access to endless Bay Watch, Three is Company, Sex in the City, Boston Legal? Time for creative solutions.
