The Islamic Advantage

Submitted by Howard E. Cook (United States), Apr 25, 2006 at 12:08

As stated in my soon-to-be-released book BE DONE ON EARTH, homo sapiens are polarizing around two tribal centers, militant Islam and decadent Christendom, competing for territorial dominion on a global scale. Militant Islam has the advantage in the visionary leadership of Osama and his dedicated followers. They know very well that "Each surrender means the Shari'a will move inexorably forward." And they play that advantage to the maximum. By calling itself a religion Islamism is in a position to take advantage of the 1st Amendment, and is showing skill in doing so. Lip service to a little understood social contract is not a defense but a fomula for defeat. Slow-witted liberals in the West, deluded by their sentimental ideilogies of multicultural egalitarianism, are marked for extinction if they don't wake up.
