Focusing our goal

Once again, Daniel Pipes has hit the nail on the head. It is Islamism that is the true threat. By not defining this for what it is, this leaves it open to debate----a dangerous area to step around, like a field full of land mines. When the world finally acknowledges that political correctness is the wrong path to take regarding fighting radical Islam, then we can really make progress.

There is also the need for the invisible moderate Muslims to take a brave step forward, declare their belief, and put an end to the wrong-thinking and violent proponents of this radical off-shoot. Whereas many would say that a moderate of any belief cannot be a true believer, the opposite is more often true; a moderate is a believer, but without the radical and destructive element within. Let's see where this "religion of peace" goes in the 21st Century.
