percentage of nutcase islamists

I completely agree that it must be up to 50 percent or so that share extremist views. The cynicist in me believes it to be more than this, but I do not have the data to support these beliefs.

It is appalling that so many fail to recognize this blatant threat to our way of life. I think the Left is so stuck on hating the administration, that they fail to see or even recognize this threat. In doing so, they believe that they will be supporting an administration they abhor.

Those that deny the Islamists are a real threat are actually patronizing this menace. They refuse to believe we have an enemy who desires our death and destruction. They refuse to believe this enemy has the means or capablity to do what they say they are going to do. They refuse to take them at their word.

I absolutely hate sounding like a politician, but I think that maybe this "spin" can be presented to get our country mobilized and to help our country acknowledge that there is an enemy ready and willing to destroy us.
