The Pentagon Breaks the Islam Taboo
Washington's policy-makers have been careful in the war on terror to distinguish between Islam and the terrorists. The distinction has rankled conservatives who see scarce difference.

A little-noticed speech by President Bush in October gave them some hope. In a major rhetorical shift, he described the enemy as "Islamic radicals" and not just "terrorists," although he still denies that radicalism has anything to do with their religion.

Now for the first time, a key Pentagon intelligence agency involved in homeland security is delving into Islam's holy texts to answer whether Islam is being radicalized by the terrorists or is already radical. Military brass want a better understanding of what's motivating the insurgents in Iraq and the terrorists around the globe, including those inside America who may be preparing to strike domestic military bases. The enemy appears indefatigable, even more active now than before 9/11.

This is probably the best article I've read on the why in the war on terror.
I recommend it to everyone.

Very good article. Good link BuffaloJack.
I think it's about time we woke up.
This is a religous war, no doubt about it.

I got the message 25 years ago and now the Pentagon finally wakes up from the Long Slumber and realizes we are in a war for our very existence.

To the Islamist we are the Infidel and should be exterminated right along with the Jews.

Cool

I was and am still horrified by the horror of 9/11. But, the more I think about it, the more I believe that it happened for a purpose. It revealed, at least for me and others who understand, the true dark power behind it. Since then, I have studied Islam rather intensively from many extensive sources including Quran and Hadists. And the picture is very chilling. I wonder whether our politicians have interest and a little time reading materials related to Islam--and of course not the ones written by Islam apologists such as Karen Amstrong and others.

And more troubling is, the secularists, including the mainstream media, seem to hate Christianity more than they concern for their own security. Their hatred of Christianity has blinded them from seeing the threat posed by Islam.
