to id our adversaries by name. what we used to call the war on terror we are clearly losing. the war on terror and the ideology behind it have only just begun. this law will go on until the whole of the world either emb e embraces islam or goes to war. supposedly serious political figures like newt gingrich have been banging this drum on the right that we in america are at war with islam not with terrorists. with islam. with an entire religion with anybody who is a muslim. and that s why we re all talking about the koran burning cook in florida. thanks to the newt gingriches of the world and those pushing that we re at war with muslims and
one lunatic in florida who is threatening to burn copies of the koran? this is why. many of our elites are afraid to identify our adversaries by name. what we used to call the war on terror we are clearly losing. the war on terror and the ideology behind it have only just begun. . this war will go on until either the whole of the world either embraces islam or goes to war. supposedly serious political figures like newt gingrich have been banging this drum on the right that we in america are at war with islam not with terrorists. with islam. with an entire religion with anybody who is a muslim. and that s why we re all talking about the koran burning kook in
