There’s always a ‘META’ meaning behind things, an unfortunate by-product of over analyzing something or just trying to be too intellectual. The author of the article seems to have fallen in that trap.
Islam is the Italian Mafia x 10. Islam is a patriarchal theocratic form of political rule through violent and punishing fascism. It appeals to the aggressive nature of men. In Islam, women, children and house workers are chattel.
All that is the antithesis of the Christian based and diminishing western cultural standards of life, liberty and happiness.
“....Middle Eastern lands despise America because of what has been called an “interventionist” foreign policy.”

On the one hand, we often do interfere in countries where we have no business being and, on the other hand, we invite their citizens who hate us, to come live with us.
Perfect recipe for our national demise.
Outlaw Islam
Expel all Muslims
Stop all aid to Muslim lands
This all goes back to the time of the Crusades, and the reason that a Crusade was even started.
It was started as a dispute over territory, which quickly escalated into a difference of doctrine, and rationalizations by each side why the other side should totally exterminated.
Centuries of nearly unspeakable brutality visited upon the other side proceeded from that really bad quarrel between what had been neighbors, if somewhat uneasy with each others’ presence.
Without going into a detailed history of the various Crusades, let it be said that the push back and forth between Islam and Christianity has undergone a sea change, initiated from within the Christian side, that there should be negotiated peace. While the Christian leaders may have entered into these negotiations with some expectation of a mutually acceptable outcome, the Islamic leaders have been adamant in that their demands were not negotiable, or negotiated on such terms as to be wholly favorable to their cause.
Again and again, the West, representing the Christian point of view, has been suckered and sandbagged, when it became apparent the Islamic leaders were not negotiating from “good faith”, but only as warfare by another means. They lie, feeling no remorse that the lies only masked later treachery or hid future preparations for open and active warfare. To them, it is OK to lie, to gain their objectives, in the expectation it is easier to gain forgiveness (or surrender) than to ask permission.
