A Greatly Needed Account

Outstandingly presented.....a much needed analysis of the meaning of jihad that has been misconstrued and watered down by those with their heads in the sand or in the clouds; should be sent far and wide for one paramount reason.....quoting from the article:

"The result is to becloud reality, obstructing the possibility of achieving a clear, honest understanding of what and whom we are fighting, and why."

Thank you for the courageous and honest accounting....it should be required reading for every Congressional member, every governor and state legislature members--not to mention every academic in the country.
