Oh I'm not going to fight you on what the enemy is. I am very well aware of the enemy. I helped put together a PowerPoint for the Marine Corps a few years back to assist in understanding the enemy (I happen to have certain duties outside of my MOS).....
* The official Saudi newspaper, Ain Al-Yaqeen, described royal expenditures on "education" as "astronomical" (Mar 2002). They celebrated the funding to build 1500 mosques, 202 colleges, and 2000 Muslim schools.
The joke of this is that these were established throughout non-Islamic countries in Europe, North and South America, Australia, and Asia. None were in the Middle East, which was not presented in Middle Eastern mainstream news. And the fact of the matter is that most since 2002 have been outside of the MENA region as well. It's not so much about Shar'ia as it is about Sunni tribe and Sau allegiance. With this being said......
In the end, it is our culture that delivers us from harm. Our immigration rules, our programs, and our religious tolerance is what sets us apart from the rest of the world, especially the ME. People who have opportunity and the opportunity to produce actual productive lives to be proud of do not throw their lives away. They generally do not throw the prospect of prosperity and opportunity for their children away for some damned religious ideal that surrenders them to oppression and brutality. Unbeknownst to most people, an Iranian Muslim named Vali Nasr helped us turn Iraq around in 2006. Our beliefs in democracy and expressive freedom make the vast majority of all Muslims our natural allies. Iraq will work in the end, because the individual want for freedom and opportunity will trump tribal allegiance. History is a hell of a teacher. Shari'a (KKK, Nazi, etc.) is a radical's goal, not the dream of the vast majority. Our Muslims are absolutely a part of the vast majority.
It pretty much comes down to this.....have faith in America. Most Muslims do.
