The Study of Political Islam by Jamie Glazov

Thanks to Suzanne of HR for this one.( The Study of Political Islam by Jamie Glazov)

This article is a bit dense, but it provides a very clear reminder of Islamist theology and where it naturally leads. Perhaps Liberals breast-beaters should be more worried about Islamic theology and not the Christian Right.

The most tangible thing they can do right now to protect us from this Islamic threat to our civilization, other foreign relations' ills from oil producers (Russia, Venezuela, Nigeria, etc... -- a virtually moral cesspool), and global warming is to drive a Manahattan Project/Space Program-type drive to energy independence. I had lunch with a very bright, new congressman in Washington yesterday who assured me with real conviction that the new Congress "gets it" on that score, but it remains to be seen whether they will be bold enough -- and willing to exact the short term pain necessary -- to achieve these energy independence goals. See also Thomas Friedman's op-ed in the Times today, "Yes, We Can Find an Exit" on Iraq and energy policy, and the need to tax our way to a base price for gas (he posits $3.50 a gallon) to assure the possibility of success of alternative energy ventures. Does a Democratic Congress have the guts to take leadership -- and ignore protestations of the Right that the Democrats are all about "tax and spend" -- and increase end-user gas taxes or exact a temporary war tax for the Iraq War? No pain, no gain?
