I have no doubt that the Byzantine Empire had a cadre of appeasing intellectuals like Glenn Carle who reassured their people that the Islamist threat was not of great concern. If you want an intelligent presentation of what we really face, i.e.: World War IV, listen to Norman Podhoretz – the common sense realist and anti-Carle.

Yuri Bezmenov has warned us about Glenn Carle and the Marxist-Socialist Left, i.e.: the modern Democratic Party leadership. They have something in common with our Islamist enemies: Hatred of the Judeo-Christian values which underpin American law and civilization. This theophobic hatred of American values is what brings these two ideologies into common cause, and this emerging alliance gives realistic hope to the Islamists that they can pull off another Byzantine takedown; and with a some assistance it can be done.
