Unfortunately, I believe most of it is true. There is no upside to scare mongoring, since time would prove it wrong and bring consequence for those making things up. But there seems to be a concerted effort by the left to downplay the danger of islamo-fascist terrorists. Just four short years after 9-11 that's staggering.
The reality is that to the terrorist muslims, and in the minds of many muslims who are not terrorists, this is a war between islam and the rest of the world. The reality is also that islam has been fighting this war for 1,400 years. And the west has refused to engage for hundreds of years. A couple political science friends of mine talk about that frequently. When you look on a map at how far islam has spread, and how depraved and impoverished those nations on Earth are, it's a scary thing. That's the reality that too many Americans still don't understand. This is a war against freedom and democratic western society, and a scary number of about 150 million Americans still oppose it to this day. Sad and scary.
