Words shape our world. In war, they define the nature of the conflict. The Ummah, like the Third Reich, is seeking breathing room to leave behind its social and economic problems with a program of regional and eventually world conquest. Islam, like Nazism, makes a lot of utopian promises and pays the check for them through conquest. Like Communism, were up against a rigid ideology, brainwashed fanatics, utopian fantasies and ruthless tactics. And we can only win by being honest about that. We are not yet dealing with armies. This is still an ideological conflict. Terrorism is just the tip of a much more dangerous iceberg. Its the explosion of violence by the most impatient and least judicious of our enemies. -- Ideological and propaganda preparation, like the massive artillery barrage that preceded an attack in the last century, is designed to prepare the battlefield and weaken our resistance. -- Every devout Muslim is an Islamist. Islam is not a personal religion. It is a religion of the public space. A moderate Muslim would have to reject Islam as a religion of the public space, as theocracy, and that secularism would be a rejection of Islam. Islam does not integrate. It disintegrates. Its hazardous to any culture or political system that comes into contact with it. It colonizes public spaces and pushes out anything that is not it. Or as the arsonists of the Library of Alexandria said, If it is in the Koran, it is redundant and ought to be burned. If it disagrees with the Koran, then it especially ought to be burned. [though theres some question of the historical accuracy of this quote, it is consistent with the soul of Islam nonetheless]
