#1 Sounds like the new version of "Welcome Back, Kotter" except with, you know, terrorists...

#2 There was probably a Hmong Muslim terrorist, but he tested poorly with focus groups.

Nah, he was too busy shooting deer hunters in Wisconsin

#5 Radical Islam teaches impressionable youths to take by force or resort to force to get everything they want in life, and NOT to compromise or work to build your own paradise here on earth. How is Radical Islam going to build/empower modernity in the Muslim world when it refuses to reform the top elites while sending young men to die in suicide attacks? Suicide attacks are mostly a political weapon, with old men ruling at the head while the few younger men -read, future competitors - violate the Quran by blowing themselves up: the crusty old guy Generals gloriously lead a so-called ARMY OF ISLAM that exists only on paper, or at the local police forensics-mortuary lab. Like the Socialists and Commies, the answer to Failed and Failing, non-modern, underdeveloped, and regressive Islam is more despotic Regulation, more Controls, more Bureaucracy, more Super- and Hyper-Government, .........................
..................more and new "justified" anti-democratic Local, National, Regional, International, and now Global Despotism and Totalitarianism, where 'free trade' is only that regulated limited commerce between weak Global sub-States as allowed by the ruling Global Central Govt/Bureaucracy = Mullahs! And like the former USSR and Red China, where women can have PH.D's but in reality at best only a few limited or controlled political or social positions, the Radical Islamists are fighting for a Global [Islamic]State/OWG where women can be punished, killed, or gang-raped - read, controlled - for the same reasons they are now. The Global Secular Socialist State = Global Islamic State = women are NOT allowed to de facto compete andor be independent regardless of merits or credentials. The Burqua Boyz, like the Socies and Commies, are only fooling themselves iff they believe harder Islam or harder Socialism will achieve Modernity.
