Nato has not developed security philosophy against Islamic threat

NATO was mainly formed as a bulwark against Red threat from the USSR to western Europe and the A.merican continent. Its whole apparatus appears to have been geared to contain Communism. Even though NATO had exposure to Islamic threat during its involvement in Coratia, Serbia etc, it is unprepared for facing Islamic threat. Unlike the threat of communism, which was identifiable with specific countries, Islamic threat is not identifiable to any particular country. Within Europe itself, it is a wide spread phenomenon, not limited to countries with dominant muslim population such as Turkey. The problem of NATO is not merely turkey, but the trojan horses within its boundaries
