Lessons from History

Great article. If our political leaders and the media do not learn from history of Islamists, then we are bound to repeat it. Islamic threat to most human kind is not decreased, but is increasing rapidly judging from their activities throughout the world. It is unbelievable that some of our political leaders and the general media either do not understand or don't want to understand the real dangers posed by Islamists to our country. One wonders what will it take for these people to open their eyes and see the light. Civil liberties are of no value when you are dead. Therefore, if some civil liberties are sacrificed in order to stay alive, then so be it.
