This is a seminal time in World History ... but let's embrace it. I see this Islamist movement as the last gasp of the Communist left. Here ... in our universities, institutions, media and advocate groups ... and abroad in European unions, intelligentsia and Middle East academia - it's the same old crew with the same old goals and their grubby fingers in the same old pockets. This time, unlike the fall of the Evil Empire, let's dispose of them one way or another.
Radical Islamism grew on the hip of radical Communism outside the Soviet sphere post 1945. It's anti-freedom. It's anti-human, so it is destined to fail. After too much death and waste.
So it will be with this latest movement of anti-human, anti-God and anti-American assault. It won't endure. Muslim people don't want to die as martyrs in a murder. Note how many homicide bombers are over the age of 25: not many. bin Laden and his Martyr brigade ran for their lives and spent days huddling in caves in their quest to sacrifice their lives for Allah. See, if as a man you've been blessed to lay down with a woman, you understand the challenge of satisfying ONE woman sexually, much less 72!!!
Muslims just want to praise their God, raise their kids and live their lives as human beings, just like us. The entire jihad is about destroying the West so that the despots ruling the Muslim world provide their enslaved people no alternatives.
We're gonna tear the innerds out of the Communists going forward. America is righteous, we're doing fine, even if too many Americans are unworthy. The framers were elitist lawyers and scholars, but they built this country for the folks who were watching two toads race and eyeing their cute cousin.
