Congratulations on your appointment at Pepperdine University. What lucky students.

Yes, you are correct: The West could lose the war against Islamists for the reasons you have given. In addition if we don't start teaching the public the doctrines in Islam that fuel the Islamist, we will lose. Also, the public must be better informed concerning the fourteen-plus hotspots where Islamist are warring in order to establish a worldwide Islamic state.

We can't afford political correctness concerning this issue. Most people just don't understand the magnitude of the threat.
