Islam's anger with the West didn't just start in the last century...and it certainly didn't have anything to do with oil, or even Israel, for that matter.

Brilliant analysis, CWB. Thanks for posting it on this thread. Your statement I quoted above is critical. For far too long, we have lulled ourselves into complacency by thinking it's a war only between Israel and the "Palestinians." Even a few early responses on this thread fell into that trap.

However, as you so correctly point out, this is a much older, much more insidious war waged by those who adhere to an expansionist ideology.

Thanks for letting me piggy-back on your excellent post. It seemed like the perfect place to expand on Islam's history...and expose the fraud that is liberalism.
