The problem is with those who don't listen

This is a link to a story that speaks of itself.

Extreme Islamists are so insecure that their only reaction to a minimal challenge is violence. Violence is the most likely way to resolve problems in Islam.

However, in the West we do have a problem. Our problem is in those who do not listen. Militant Islam has gone on for years (since 1979), and our officials elected to do as little as possible to face it. And I mean those bureaucratic leftists who don't want to be labelled as racially insensitive or politically incorrect.

It's time to wake up and look around, and start listening to what's going on in the world. Islamists have taken over in Lebanon, Nigeria, Balkans, Chechnya, etc. Those regions used to be non-Muslim dominated, but not any longer. I see something big coming! Do you?!?! Their dream will be "The United Islamic States of America"?
