Interesting comments by this Egyptian-American evangelical Anglican minister in Atlanta.

Yes, good article, although he echos Steyn's latest book so closely, I wonder if he isn't unconsciously borrowing from it. For instance:

As they say in the Middle East, "The cow is down and what is needed are more butchers with sharp knives."

Only in Steyn it's not a cow, it's a camel.

[Dark Skies]

There is one dim hope, however.

Baloney!

As John Dryden said..."Beware the fury of a patient man."

IMO, the West is just waking up. When it is fully aroused, it will be really p!ssed off...and islam will regret ever opening it toothless mouth.

So, when do you think the outcry for reparations for the Crusades will begin?

[Liberty Valance]

Death cults come and go, but the Light of the Lord Shines Forever.

[Gunny Gene]

Just kill 'em.

Youssef, being Egyptian, knows Arabic...and likely has a firsthand knowlege of the expression. Steyn's is probably quoting a classic rendition of it. If anything, Steyn may be borrowing from Youssef--though likely they are saying the same things merely because they share the same worldview and opinion.

I think you have a point. I am hearing more and more, better hard-hitting interviews over talk-radio and now Glen Beck in his TV program, with folks who are well versed and are able to speak with authority and conviction. It's a breath of fresh air after all the wuss talk for several years.

They will have their way for a while in ME, North Africa and Europe, but it will not last long. They will burn themselves out trying to defend our counter-attack to reclaim those regions lost.

[Cicero]

Yes. I just finished Steyn's book, and noticed a lot of parallels, not just that one. But an intelligent person could come up with many of them independently, or maybe they've both read some of the same sources.

"They will burn themselves out trying to defend our counter-attack to reclaim those regions lost."
What counter attack? US has lost its spine. The voters breathed a sigh of surrender on Nov 7th. Game over. Usama was right. We don't have the stomach for a long painful war.

[TruthFactor]

Islam is not really the primary problem. The problem is the rapid moral decay of the West.

Al of these doomsdayers forget that the West has the nuclear option.

No matter how quickly these primitives develop a nuclear weapon of their own, the minute they deliver one to a Western city and turn it into a radioactive crater, they will be annihilated, probably starting at places like Damascus, Tehran, Mecca, and Medina.

They are counting on their "12th Imam" to protect them from the fury that is bound to follow such an attack, but, alas, the "12th Imam" is only a myth perpetrated by the Devil.

To most of these people, the Crusades were not just events in history that took place nearly eight or nine hundred years ago; instead, the Crusades signify a perpetual desire on the part of the Christian West to dominate them and prove their religion inferior.

Odd perception it is. The last thing I or any other Christian wants is to dominate Islam. And I, or anyone else I know go around trying to prove Islam is inferior. Islam just is. Whatever floats your boat.

Hopefully everyone figures this out, and we can peacefully coexist. Otherwise, we may have to utterly destroy their society on a global scale. Carthage like in the results.
