Pipes unmasking Phoney Petition rightly exposes Militant Islams 'covert hostility'

Submitted by David Smith (United States), Jul 14, 2004 at 15:08

The final paragraph delineates a common denominator applicable and specifically characteristic to who/what we are dealing with in Radical Islamic groups: *Covert Hostility.* Groups function as do individuals, and an individual in this emotional 'band' will do any and all things to put their victim at complete ease so that they might attack and surprise their victim who is totally unprepared to provide adequate defense. Their hostility is hidden and complete. This aspect makes dealing with them at face value dangerous in the extreme.
