Very interesting. I will watch for more about Daveed Gartenstein-Ross. Thank you for posting the interview.

...rolling my pants legs up above my ankles,...

That's a new bit of muzzie inanity to me.

Anyone have any info on what that is all about?

I felt myself attracted to the faith, and it seemed to answer the "liar, lunatic, or Lord?" argument by posing a fourth alternative: Jesus was a prophet with a close relationship with God, but he had never claimed divinity. Rather, his words were distorted over time.

So close...

The fact that important counterterrorism officials don't even know which groups are Sunni and Shia is indicative of the fact that many people charged with defending our national security are in fact committing professional malpractice.

A Jew has to be nuts or temporarily insane to go Muslim. I make a bit of an exception for Sufism because the way Sufism is practiced in the USA is hippy dippy New Age. They are harmless goofballs and many are Jewish. I still don't like to see it

Interesting.

I've been coming around to a position that's backed up a little bit by this guy. I think the time is coming upon us when we'll have to expand the fight to an ideological level-- the theological level. It's risky, but I think ultimately its the only way to actually defeat terrorism as it grows out of the Islamic world.

We (the "West") have to take on Islam itself, directly and head-on. We will have to show that Islam itself, in particular Wahhabism, is a false religion. Radicalism will not be defeated until it no longer attracts the faithful.

This is not a mission for governments, either. Especially not the U.S. government. For the American government to take such a position would only confirm Wahhabism's Jihad within their own rhetoric. The American governments job is just to ruthlessly hunt down and kill the radicals just as effectively as they've been doing.

I see it as the job of the Church writ large, with calm assurance and forceful apologetics, face the enemy and agressively take them on at the spiritual level.

Just a thought. Still developing.

Profound, and true.

Hannity just announced they will be interviewing the author of this article during "Hannity & Colmes" tonight; the show just started.

Extremely interesting. A pity this interview is not longer. I'm not a big fan of FrontPage Mag, but when it comes to criticism of Islam's inherently warlike, rigid, and intolerant nature, it is very good. Regardless of how Iraq turns out (which won't be good), the battle to expose Islam must go on - and that's the only way the war on terrorism can be won.
