Russia? China? No, no, no. They pose no big threat. ... The greatest challenge for Israel and the West today and in the immediate future is neither Russia nor China but the continued dangers posed by Islamic militants. Who are these militants and when does an ordinary Moslem surface as one is anyone's guess. .... The West should first be prepared for the trojan horse and the fifth column looming from within. Whilst Islamic countries remain exclusively Islamic, the rate at which the migrant Moslem population grows in the West is something that really scares one. Lebanon case is a good example. From a Christian majority to a Moslem majority country in a short span of time. Christians in Sudan and Nigeria for example are currently facing the seemingly insurmountable tide of the Islamic sword. The modus operadi for infiltration and growth is simple. Migrate, bring in the friends and relatives, procreate as many and as fast as possible , ... converting and marrying locals especially the female gender, etc. Since polygamy is outlawed in the West, continued procreation through divorce and remarry is a norm. No worry because the state welfarism in the west is a blessing .... Madrasahs (Islamic schools) will mushroom. Usually, fervent Islamic clerics are imported from outside to do the brainwashing and indoctrination as they (parents) count themselves unsuitable. This is a time bomb ticking away. The immigrant French population now stands at 10%. When will France become an Islamic country is anybody's guess? Little wonder why France couldn't take a pro-US stance at the recent Iraq war.
