I have tremedous respect for Ralph Peters, insofar as military affairs go. Still, I cringe every time he tries to speak about Muslim affairs. It's painful to watch someone embarrass themselves so thoroughly.
Ralph, do yourself a favor. Stick to what you know.

I agree.
And Europeans won't even need to re-write "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" with an Islamist theme - real Muslims zealots provide Europe's bigots with all the propaganda they need.
Well, Ralph, yes, but 100 millions of armed and fanatical muslims mad on the worldwide quest for caliphate are not exactly a few millions of Jews. They are more like the Nazi hordes.

I agree. It was an embarrassing performance filled with historical cliches. His knowledge of Islam and Europe seems to be largely confined to the sort of thing one finds in works by Gramscian academics.

Do you ever get the feeling he is paid very well by somebody for these opinions which fly in face of common sense and events we see happening before our eyes? I wonder.
