We do have an enemy ... they hate us ... they believe with all their life that we are the enemy of Allah. They will do anything, anywhere to destroy us. Yet we want to disengage, and appease.
My friend Bill Bennett likes to quote Hannah Arendt’s aphorism, “Nothing so inoculates a person against reality than the hold of ideology.” If we want to understand why we are at risk from cells in places like Cherry Hill which have no ties to known foreign terror groups, and if we want to learn what authentic, moderate Muslim reformers are up against, we need to open our eyes to what
motivates jihadists. It is powerful, enduring and frightening because it is a doctrine, not an organization.—
