		<description>I think the core of all these arguments is that Religion must be destroyed. For too long madmen have been given the shield of religion to murder and persecute the people.</description>

		<description>i disagree with your premise. we are NOT at war. while its true that the us should not ever allow itself to be bullied, it is prudent to examine our actions and have an understanding of those who wish us harm and why. this country is not always right and our opponents wrong. take iran for example, we proped up a ruthless dictator (the shah ) for our own selfish interests while he brutalized his people. this led to the uprising in 1979 along with the taking of us hostages. the students outrage was understandable. put yourself in their shoes and you would agree. our foreign policy has consequences and we need to tread carefully. the us must stand up for its interests but do so with the rest of the world in mind and try to coexist in a peaceful manor if possible. we will never please everyone everytime and fighting will sometimes be necessary but understand there are 2 sides to every story.</description>

		<description>Maybe, all the fundi&#039;s will do the war thing and kill each other off, we will have to bite some bullets but we can give back by pointing out the enemy or better yet, see them into that wonderland.

Fear is one reason, but it&#039;s their hatred of Western values that is their main motivator.</description>

		<description>A swing and a miss then a hit. 
 You are not taking into account the root causes of “denial,” and that is complete ignorance of the subject in the western hemisphere. Both the government and the mainstream media are to blame. The government’s unawareness of Islamist goals has been frighteningly short sighted. Neither the right nor the left have any moral ground when addressing this issue. The right is all to eager to sell out for short term goals and security, and the left all to fervent to through us under the bus in the name of multi culturalist polity. The main stream media are showing a disturbing lack judgment in whitewashing or just plain ignoring the “soft” jihad that is already well under way on this continent.
 Jihad comes in two flavors, covert and overt. The latter is the one we are all familiar  (the give away is the big pile of body parts). The former, owing to the dualistic nature of Islamism, is more insidious and extremely effective. Make no mistake, the Europeans have trained them in this art since the 1950’s, and they have mastered it.  
 You are dead on in concluding that appeasement is a mistake. Give an inch and they will take your head. The following I borrowed from Mr. Peter Hammond FrontPageMagazine.com &#124; 4/21/2008. This portends to the future path of appeasement and unchecked immigration: 

“As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their colorful uniqueness.
 At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. 
 From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves -- along with threats for failure to comply (localized areas in the US).
 At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the entire world. 
 When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions (Paris --car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (Amsterdam - Mohammed cartoons).
 After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, church, and synagogue burning.
 From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels.
 After 80% expect state run ethnic cleansing and genocide.
 100% will usher in the peace of &#039;Dar-es-Salaam&#039; -- the Islamic House of Peace -- there&#039;s supposed to be peace because everybody is a Muslim.”

 It’s not “Islamic extremists” it’s Islam.
 It’s not “Islamic fundamentalism” it’s Islam.
 Islam is not a religion; it is a totalitarian ideology by any definition. It must be treated no differently than communism, fascism, socialism, or nazism. 
 But what of the “moderate muslims?” Money, power, and small vocal minorities advance political ideologies. Islamist followers find themselves with no deficiencies in these areas. The moderates quickly “get with the program” or find themselves on the receiving end of their comrades wrath.  
 I commend you Ms. Chester, on spreading the word. I understand your stance on women’s rights vs. Islamism, but make no mistake this is a very real threat to all of humanity.</description>

		<description>i dont like this essay in the least sense.
part of the reason may be because i am a &quot;westerner&quot; and i am not in denial that we are at war..

i am just against it.
i dont blame the cia for the war. that doesnt even make sense

i feel that we should have done something about 9/11 in retaliation. not that we should go after a random terrorist that didnt attack us on 9/11 and then rebuild there country...

set and match</description>

		<description>It&#039;s a perfect storm of left wing navel-gazing, multiculturalist clap-trap, retrograde communist propaganda bearing fruit decades after the fact (universities, MSM, entertainment biz) and unreconstructed Western European Jew hatred thinly veiled as anti-Zionism.  Plus a healthy dose of &quot;maybe if we ignore them, they&#039;ll just go away...&quot;

Fasten your seat belts.  It&#039;s gonna be a bumpy night.</description>

		<description>Dear Dr Chesler - I see it.  I&#039;ve read Spencer, Bat Yeor and Bostom, among others.  I believe them. 

All I can say is: we who do see the danger approaching, have to keep on sounding the alarm.  Here&#039;s a marvellous passage from J R R Tolkien&#039;s epic fantasy Lord of the Rings - I was strongly reminded of it, when I read Oriana Fallaci&#039;s The Rage and the Pride and The Force of Reason, and even more so, when Geert Wilders released &#039;Fitna&#039; and it flashed all over the internet (I understand that teenagers were texting sites for seeing Fitna, to one another).  

&quot;In the dark without moon or stars a drawn blade gleamed...There was a blow, soft but heavy, and the door shuddered. &#039;Open, in the name of Mordor!&#039; said a voice thin and menacing.

&quot;At a second blow the door yielded and fell back...The dark figures passed swiftly in.

&quot;At that moment, among the trees nearby, a horn rang out.  I rent the night like fire on a hilltop.

&#039;AWAKE! FEAR! FIRE! FOES! AWAKE!&#039;

&#039;Fatty Bolger had not been idle.  As soon as he saw the dark shapes creep from the garden, he knew that he must run for it, or perish.  And run he did, out of the back door, through the garden, and over the fields.  When he reached the nearest house...he collapsed on the doorstep...It was some time before anyone could make out what he was babbling about.  At last they got the idea that enemies were in Buckland...And then they lost no more time.

&#039;FEAR! FIRE! FOES! &#039;  

&#039;the Brandybucks were blowing the Horn Call of Buckland, that had not been sounded for more than a hundred years...&#039;AWAKE! AWAKE!&quot; [from Fellowship of the Ring, Bk I, chapter 10].

To use Tolkien&#039;s language - you, and Oriana, and Wilders, and many others, are sounding the Horn Call.

AWAKE! FEAR! FIRE! FOES! AWAKE!

Tolkien was a medievalist.  I think the entire sweep of his fantasy epic was shaped, more than anything else, by his knowledge of the West&#039;s long effort of self-defence against the Jihad, from Charles Martel in 732 to Jan Sobieski and the charge of the Winged Hussars to lift the Muslim siege of Vienna in 1683.

Our other strangely prescient popular storyteller (also a medievalist) is J K Rowlings. In her &#039;Order of the Phoenix&#039; most characters have their heads in the sand, obstinately refusing to believe that an enemy they had assumed defeated, in abeyance, has arisen again, armed and dangerous; Harry and Dumbledore&#039;s warnings are ignored and ridiculed, and they themselves are persecuted and vilified.  The fictional scenario - especially the business about He Who Must Not Be Named - is eerily similar to that faced by those who, today, are warning about the Jihad.

Millions of people fell in love with these stories, in print or in film; little knowing that if our civilisation is to survive, they themselves might be called upon to stand up and  *be* like Tolkien&#039;s heroes, or Rowlings&#039;.  One hopes that *because* they have read those stories, they will find it in themselves to do so: to name evil, and defy it.</description>

<p>To use Tolkien&#8217;s language &#8211; you, and Oriana, and Wilders, and many others, are sounding the Horn Call.</p>
<p>AWAKE! FEAR! FIRE! FOES! AWAKE!</p>
<p>Tolkien was a medievalist.  I think the entire sweep of his fantasy epic was shaped, more than anything else, by his knowledge of the West&#8217;s long effort of self-defence against the Jihad, from Charles Martel in 732 to Jan Sobieski and the charge of the Winged Hussars to lift the Muslim siege of Vienna in 1683.</p>
<p>Our other strangely prescient popular storyteller (also a medievalist) is J K Rowlings. In her &#8216;Order of the Phoenix&#8217; most characters have their heads in the sand, obstinately refusing to believe that an enemy they had assumed defeated, in abeyance, has arisen again, armed and dangerous; Harry and Dumbledore&#8217;s warnings are ignored and ridiculed, and they themselves are persecuted and vilified.  The fictional scenario &#8211; especially the business about He Who Must Not Be Named &#8211; is eerily similar to that faced by those who, today, are warning about the Jihad.</p>
<p>Millions of people fell in love with these stories, in print or in film; little knowing that if our civilisation is to survive, they themselves might be called upon to stand up and  *be* like Tolkien&#8217;s heroes, or Rowlings&#8217;.  One hopes that *because* they have read those stories, they will find it in themselves to do so: to name evil, and defy it.</p>
