... "and it dawned on me sometime in late 2001 that Islam would become the blight of the 21st Century."
I had a similar epiphany about a year before the 9/11 attack.
I didn't realize until after the attack how prescient I had earlier been.
I lied---I had the premonition TWO years before 9-11, no three years, no...... I get your point. But seriously,
five years later, and they ARE the blight so far, with no end in sight, and it really does look like it could go on nearly indefinitely, or unless someone cracks on one side or the other.
