Hoping it will all go away...

Professor Eidelberg,
I submit to you that the vast majority of people in the west are afraid of Islam. They know it is to be feared. Sadly, far to many respond to fear by denial, mistaking it for bravery or wisdom. Case in point are two murders that happened this week in the US. An abortion provider was murdered by a man waging holy war against abortion, and the details are all over the news. Contrast that with the two military recruiters who were shot - one killed - by a Muslim jihadist. The media put a lid on that incident.
Big trouble awaits us.
