The muslims that attacked us then and are attacking us now are NOT “extremists.” They’re ORTHODOX muslims.
Their behavior is fully consistent with the tenets of their “faith.” I placed faith in quotation marks because I concur with St. Thomas Aquinas, who concluded that islam was NOT a religion, but rather that is a political creed. And Aquinas is one of about 20 men and women termed “Doctors of the Church.” And you don’t get that title by being an idiot.
As the President’s war efforts in Iraq are stultified because of his failure to take account of Tehran, so will our our wider war effort be stultified if we fail to take account of islam. And continual repetitions that “islam is peace” is NOT taking account of islam.
