#1 Experts don't foresee jihadism becoming a mass movement.

Experts?!? Experts?!? Write the sentence as "Experts don't foresee." and leave it that and then you're telling the truth.

Where were all our so-called Middle East experts on 9/10/2001 or during the Iranian Revolution or in Nigeria or Pakistan?

This is one of those cases where I will take plain ol' common sense over any #*%!@ expert testimony.

There's an ill wind blowing out of the Muslim world, and I don't need a weatherman to tell me it's going to rain.

#3 Part of Islamist anger is that they gener believe it is illogical and unfair for JudeoChristians to dominate the world in almost every aspect but not the sons of Ismael - to paraphrase the actress Annette Benning, again, in THE SIEGE,"THEY HAVE NO POWER [like the Christian nations]"!? GLOBAL MONOTHEISM IN 2005 = the Jews and Christans, not Muslims, with the two former getting bigger and bigger, like US hyperpower and Western Democapitalism-Materialism-Consumerism. ISLAM IN 2005 > akin to JudeoChristianity's poor or mostly homeless, problem-plaqued, SOCIALLY UNKNOWN/
IGNORED cousin, with ETHNIC/STATE-SPECIFIC MANIFEST DESTINY > occur via OWG Legislation, andor Global Corporate Takeovers!
