| #5 This Brotherhood approach is in keeping with my observation that the greater Islamist threat to the West is not violence – flattening buildings, bombing railroad stations and nightclubs, seizing theaters and schools – but the peaceful, legal growth of power through education, the law, the media, and the political system. I also see inroads through law and the political system as a threat, long-term. If sharia ever became law of the US, I would undergo an astounding transformation: from a fairly easy-going, live-and-let-live, frilly type of girl to a rampaging bee-yatch. God-pretending imams trying to impose the law of the insane on our good country would push me over the edge to action. Might think about sniping as a career. |

| #4 I agree with Pipes, there is as much a chance for it here as there is in the EU. "First you change the person, then the family, then the community, then the nation." But it is far more likely that ultimately they will be the ones converted to the Western lifestyle rather than the other way around. It's the ol' law of unintended consequences. Sick the Baptists on them. The poor boring, I can't dance, stick-in-the-mud, mooselimbs don't stand a chance next to all that pot-luck fun! |

| #3 The Islamic States of America? Not going to happen anytime soon, if ever. |

| #2 Ultimately, regardless of what anyone says, the battle is between islam and the forces of allan...and everyone else. Sooner or later the LLL will understand that, but probably not before a lot more blood is spilled. |

| #1 Conversely, it could also be said that the "strong" Christianized Africa is making serious inroads into Moslem Africa. While not as confrontational as Moslems, they have a powerful selling point: the absence of Sharia and an open, liberal society. In either case, it can be said that success leads to subversion. Successful "Christian" nations liberally tolerate diversity, inviting subversion, and successful "Moslem" nations push away those oppressed by it, inviting subversion. |
