When will the world wake up?

I am involved in a group that works against antisemitism and terror, and am amazed at how complacent the majority of people are when it comes to the discussion of militant Islam. Most people, when I discuss the global threat, think I am either....
1. Hysterical
2. Politically incorrect
3.Anti muslim, or
4.Radical right winged nut who hates religons that don't speak in English.

I, on the other hand, dismiss their insults, as sheer stupidity and ignorance about something that I feel is very dangerous, and that cannot be dismissed, politically incorrect or not.

Until, as Daniel Pipes, so eloquently states, the President, and other western world leaders, call the threat what it is---Militant Islam-- preached, and taught daily in schools, not only in Saudi Arabia, but on our own land, the USA, we have no ohter choice. We cannot remain silent, but we must speak out against the very terror we have witnessed, and will witness again.
