The thing about Mr. Carle’s analysis that struck me was how it was devoid of context. It seemed un-moored from ideology and culture, which we know is a fatal mistake when the topic is Islam. It seems that all of these people from the more liberal-Left academic settings (in Mr. Carle’s case, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and the Institut d’études politiques de Paris, France)do not add the religious template to the Muslim world. They underestimate the passion that comes out of the Qur’an. They seem unaware of the fourteen centuries of jihad conquest across almost every continent.

What will it take for these institutions to finally see the handwriting on the wall? The Muslim Brotherhood has not given up its long range goals. What is even more frightening is that our old adversaries, the Russians, have not given up employing the Iranians as proxies in their war with us. I predict that in the future our past neglect will result in a horrific butcher’s bill.
