Daniel thank you for your excellent work. I assure you many of us are praying for you. Am I correct in detecting a shift away from political correctness and towards more forthright, open discussion concerning the role of Islam in our current troubles? It seems to me that not only the US President , but other prominant figures are dropping the pretense and openly calling upon Islam to take responsibility for the grief and suffering they are imposing upon the whole world.Lord Stevens- the former Head of the London Metropolitan police dept. has come out with an article basically telling Muslims to quit whining-

"When will the Muslim community in this country accept an absolute, undeniable, total truth: that Islamic terrorism is their problem?" wrote John Stevens, former commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, in a Sunday newspaper.

In an inflammatory opinion column, he called on Muslims to "stop the denial, endless fudging and constant wailing that somehow it is everyone else's problem and, if Islamic terrorism exists at all, they are somehow the main victims"

Only the Truth and truth telling-can set us free. PC and Multi cultural self imposed blindness have for too long been used as an opening to those who would destroy us.Keep up the good work Daniel.
