Good ONLY to the last drop/line

Daniel,

As a consistent Jewish reader of your marvelously formed and in-formed writing
I never finish translating this terribly mixed world of Muslims and the rest of us
without feeling just a bit more knowledgeable..

It was your last line in the Dec. 27th piece on Propaganda that got me thinking.

Having run a public relations firm for 22 years I believe that closing with the thought that the Muslims do, indeed "want" a Western life" could not be further from the truth...as you well know when you direct your brilliant mind to the topic.

Their announced goals and hopes are the destruction of all non-believers PERIOD. They propose no alternative life style except a hint that when the Western world is demolished the survivors will pray to the gods in the hearts of the Muslims, again, PERIOD. Cars. trips,,material goods are not on their proposed agenda.

To suggest that if they would only open their ears and their hearts to reality news they would know, etc. etc. Their training suggests they will follow those who have inspired their lives for years. Witness Afghanistan as one sample of a ruling class that has a set of ground rules with which the leaders have lived for centuries..at least for "the people" they rule other than themselves.

I wish I could look forward with a scintilla of hope to a time that "if they would only....." But it isn't going to happen in the few life times that we may experience.

Those Muslims who have left the fold in our country and some other Western-valued countries not withstanding, destruction is what the terrorist side wants.

Now, if YOU have a package that will change the way they are infiltrating our schools and civil life with charges and pleas of "fairness" in their attempt to destroy beliefs from within then you will become the next anti-terror chief in this increasingly isolated land in which we live..

But that's another topic.

Keep up the good work, Daniel. Your following continues to grow.

Don
