If Islamists get smart! That is my biggest fear and yet the brightest hope! They will over play their hand, they will NOT "get" smart. These are true believers. They always seem to.. True believers are wired differently. When dealing with these types the non-believer typically doesn't get the difference in the way the brain works. Being rational and within the laws of the west doesnt fly.

If the Islamists start becoming more like several NGO's and others and just lie through thier teeth we will have problems. But i am heartened since the BEST islamists liar still looks like wolf in sheeps clothing I sleep well. The best thing we can to is encourage the islamists to believe they are winning, they will become more emboldeedn and hang themselves on gluttony of power.
