I have been warning for some time of the real danger of militant Islam thoroughly infecting African-American majorities in American inner cities with the potential for widespread violence amounting to the worst features of Watts and the Paris suburbs. Equally dangerous, the voting power of African-Americans in these cities is enough to undermine our defenses in the war waged against us by militant Islam. Add a president with the dubious loyalties of Barack Obama and you have the bottom and the top working against and embattled middle and one would have to ask, can the center hold?
