Whatever it's called, this ideology is very different from the religion of Islam!

Some call this evil Islamic radicalism; others, militant Jihadism; still others, Islamo-fascism. Whatever it's called, this ideology is very different from the religion of Islam. This form of radicalism exploits Islam to serve a violent, political vision: the establishment, by terrorism and subversion and insurgency, of a totalitarian empire that denies all political and religious freedom. These extremists distort the idea of jihad into a call for terrorist murder against Christians and Jews and Hindus -- and also against Muslims from other traditions, who [sic!] they regard as heretics.

Really, Mr. President? I don't think so!

No, Mr. President. No! It's not very different from the religion of Islam. This IS the religion of Islam! This is precisely what Islam is all about: the jihad! Bringing terrror to the infidel! Muslims will continue to do this for as long as they're empowered with petro-dollars, and for as long as the West shows any propensity to tolerate it!

Don't try any longer to gloss over what's happening, Mr. President! Please! For it is plain to see; as plain as the nose on your face, in fact!

There is only ONE way to counter this: Accept it, thwart it, and do what is necessary to rid the West of this evil! Did you hear what I said, Mr. President? Do what is necessary to rid the West of this evil!
