What an excellent article! Thanks for posting!

Gritty, I agree with you entirely; America has got to wake up right now. But I'm not sure immigration is really the problem in this country. For example, we have a number of native born blacks who were recruited to Islam in prison, and now obviously feel themselves to be enemies of their own country.

Black Muslims used to be scorned by traditional Islam because they believed that Muhammed X (founder of the movement) was a prophet, and traditional Islam says that Muhammed (no X) was the last prophet. However, there seems to have been a reconciliation, and some former Black Muslims have even joined things like al Fuqra, an organization headed by the Pakistani Sheik al Gilani (known for his involvement in the death of Daniel Pearl, who was investigating al Fuqra when killed). So I'd say the problem isn't immigrants, it's Islam.

And yes, Aquinasfan, Muslims know God isn't dead. Granted, they have a wierd idea of Who He is. But since nobody else here, particularly in that left wing and too gay social services org that used to be concerned with preaching the Gospel - you know, the Catholic Church - is doing anything to offer them an alternative vision, I guess their's will prevail. Unless we get busy right now, that is.

So I'd say the problem isn't immigrants, it's Islam.

I'll have to agree with you here.

The problem with Communism wasn't just the Soviet Union, it was with our own native spies and fellow-travelers (add Liberals in there, too).

Chuck Colson (Prison Fellowship) has gotten some press lately about how the radical Muslims are recruiting heavily in our prisons. These ex-cons will make admirable foot-soldiers in many ways. One doesn't even need to subscribe fully to Islam to work in it's behalf, just as Aldrich Ames or Richard Hanssen didn't need to be Communists to work effectively in it's behalf.

The point is, we have a very serious problem brewing which goes well beyond "catching" Bin Laden. We can easily catch him and wrap up a few networks and still lose the War. And that's what this is - a War for America as well as the rest of the world. But first, we have to recognize the enemy for who it is. So far, we don't seem to have done that, much as France has not done it.
