HUMAN EVENTS: It is necessary once in a while to clear the decks on a given issue, to discard the accumulated rhetoric and concepts and start afresh. As we enter the sixth year of the War on Terror, such a fresh start is desperately needed.Mark Alexander
Today’s statesmen and commentators —left, right, and center—have so far demonstrated themselves incapable of bringing clarity to the world situation. To them, the world today appears hopelessly complicated: wars in Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan and Somalia; Iran in pursuit of atomic weapons; unrest in the streets of Europe; terrorism worldwide. The problem is that the modern political view of the world is now being confronted with something that does not fit into its theoretical framework, something that is fundamentally not modern: the return of Islam to the world stage.

Excellent article reminding people that they had better check their assumptions. The modern mind hasn’t seen anything like this is ages.
I noticed that while most people are still in denial, they aren’t surprised when I suggest that Islam is a barbaric imperialist warrior ideology. The evidence is piling up. Word is getting around. But it’s so slow.
A Marine I know that recently returned from Iraq says he was stunned. He’s never seen so much deep hatred in every manner possible: religious, tribal, regional, ethnic, etc. It was a culture shock for him.
Hello Jason:

Too royal! This sort of thing is a unique; and it will bring trauma on the West.
Word is getting around. But it’s so slow.
It is getting around; but, as you say, it's so slow. So slow, in fact, one must wonder whether everyone will wake up in time to avert disaster.

Yes, Jason, and we are importing these enmities to the West with all this immigration from Islamic countries.
I found this at the very end of that link:
Mr. Davis is the managing director of Quixotic Media and producer of the forthcoming feature documentary "Islam: What the West Needs to Know."
That documentary is excellent! No dhimmitude there! I highly recommend the film, which is even better than Obsession.
Jason mentioned the following:

And why was this Marine surprised? Because he hadn't been properly informed beforehand!
Mark,
The truth is getting out. As the saying goes, "The truth will out." But is the truth getting out fast enough?

Who would have informed him, Always? Everybody is so busy these days making excuses for Muslims. For any information, one has to do one's own digging.
Mark,

Yes it is getting out there, but VERY, VERY slowly. Bloggers are pretty well-informed. But not everybody blogs. Those who depend on the MSM remain largely in the dark about what's going on. And for as long as the MSM are relied on for their info, then people will remain in the dark too.
Mark,
I referenced this HERE and HERE.
