Thank you for your service Mr. French. Some people you can lead to a slaughter house but you can't convince them anything evil occured. Head in the sand, "Can't happen here." mind set will get you killed. In my feeble little minds eye, I will always be able to see the pictures of the folks who chose to jump from the trade towers rather than burn alive.

I haven’t stopped talking about the nature of the jihadist enemy

Perhaps part of the problem in getting folks to recognize the potential harm is by failing to explain it correctly. There is a vast difference between a jihadist enemy and every Muslim's Jihad.

Every Muslim must contend with his own Jihad. A Muslim’s Jihad is his daily struggle to stay true to his obedience to God. This struggle includes resisting the temptations the modern western world presents and remain obedient to God. It is not easy in Christianity where one can be born again so I can imagine how difficult it can be in the religion of Islam.

A radical Muslim is a Muslim influenced to inflict harm to the source of his temptation. There are Muslims who feel a duty to remove the temptation on behalf of all Muslims. This is not a lot different that Liberals in America who feel qualified to know what is best for other Americans and then act on it.

Embellished or inaccurately presented facts cause some people to discount the entire point. Accuracy is most important at this time because Muslims in Egypt and Saudi Arabia are beginning to express their discontent of Hamas. There are attempts to silence them but other Muslims need to hear their voices.

Because it takes what Liberals lack: courage.

Not just to speak up or hashtag, but to actually DO something and put yourself at risk.
