A person has to ask: WTF were muslims doing in a Christian organization?
Was this due to ignorance of the political nature of islam or just stupidity?
Clearly they had no handle nor concept of the ramifications.
For a thousand years Europeans fought desperately to keep the Turks at bay. Now they can’t wait to give everything away to them. The times they are a’changing.
Islamism is the deeper and longer-lasting threat because it's based not on a single leader's personality but on a highly potent ideology, one that effectively succeeded fascism and communism as the great radical utopian challenge to the West. Some major figures in NATO appreciated this shift soon after the Soviet collapse. Already in 1995, Secretary-General Willy Claes noted with prescience that, "fundamentalism is at least as dangerous as communism was." With the Cold War over, he said, "Islamic militancy has emerged as perhaps the single gravest threat to the NATO alliance and to Western security."Oh rly????
