Pamela Geller ~ Atlas Shrugs
Like I've been saying .....
Brett Stephens has a good piece in the Wall Street Journal on the growing threat of Islamic supremacism across the more "moderate" Muslim countries. My only issue with Stephens is his use of the word "radical." It is not radical. It is authentic Islam. It is pure Islam. And "islamists." These are devout Muslims, "islamist" and "islamism" is an artificial distinction.
An 18 year old Muslim student, from Western University and born in Mississauga had this to say about the distinction between Islam and Islamism: "case and point on why you dont understand Islam. No one makes this distinction [between Islam and Islamism] other then the Western world, for the sake of having a tidy little system to classify everything. Our religion and political ideology are one. Furthermore, I really wouldnt use the term islamist or Islamism. Many muslims, including myself, find the term deeply offensive."
Other than that, I am glad someone of note is addressing this grave threat in the pages of the Wall Street Journal.
