Pipes overplays it a little here. Sure there are a few more than Johnny Walker, but I hardly think Militant Islam is now "the ideology of choice for Westerners who loathe their own societies."

However, green is the right color for that ideology of choice. It's militant environmentalism that has and may be becoming more the "ideology of choice...."

His point is that fanatical Islam may become the NEXT religion of choice for malcontents. The last one was Marxism, but Marxism has pretty well lost its allure for anyone but deluded academics.

We have plenty of malcontents in America. The whole teenage phenomenon could play into this. It hasn't yet, but it could in the future. Teens who used to play around with Zen or with Heavy Metal might start playing around with Islam instead. Then there are all those Black Muslims. Such groups can suddenly mutate and become dangerous. There's plenty of resentment among blacks, which is constantly being fanned into violence by the media and by Democrat politicians.

Last, there are the naturalized Arabs, who number in the millions, and many of whom have large families. It would be better to head off these problems early, before they get out of control.
