This article confirms many of my thoughts and concerns regarding Islam and militant Muslims. Too many Americans are more concerned with using "politically correct" language than in alerting the country's citizens to the danger within. Representative Peter King of Long Island is one of the few elected officials who speak the truth about the Muslims in America. He especially criticizes the "moderate" Muslims for not speaking out and denouncing the atrocities committed in the name of Allah. I also believe that we are in the midst of a "holy war" and President Bush, outspoken about his Christian beliefs, is a prime target. European countries and Canada have chosen to follow the secular philosophy while denouncing anything to do with religion or mention of God and they resent that so far the majority of Americans reject that philosophy. Those in our own country who agree with the trend to secularism, vigorously fight for same-sex marriage, legalized drugs, taking God out of the Pledge of Allegience, etc. I hope we don't have to experience another "9/11" before Americans wake up to the evil forces at war against us.
