Yes, but....

Thank you for the article. Your analysis of ISIS is compelling. It may well disappear.

But unfortunately, the belief system, Islam, is going strong, often with help from the multicultural Left in the West. And Islam demands of its followers that they murder or enslave anyone who disagrees with them.

That some followers of Islam, who perhaps retain a shred of human decency, do not follow this command means nothing. They are enablers of those who do.

As long as Islam is a force in the world, it will continue to breed terrorists and attack the West.The goal of Islam is destruction of any country in which there is respect for freedom and individual rights and replacement of the political system with Islam imposed Sharia.

Islamic organizations may come and go. The names, the acronyms, may change. But as long as Islam exists, it will be a mortal threat to America and our way of life.
