Most Dangerous?

I do not think that the most dangerous Muslims are those engaged in terrorism. Rather it is the ideological insurgents, for they undermine our defenses by turning our liberties into a suicide pact. Under the guise of seeking religious freedom, and freedom of speech, they convert our universities and media into propaganda machines for Islamic agendas. Moreover, their weapon of immigration builds their population to the tipping point, where it becomes feasible to engage in physical attacks.

It is not what they do to us that is most destructive, but how they induce us to engage in self-destruction. The key problem is not their homicide, but our suicide.
