WM, thank you for this very informative information. With the above in mind, it seems unlikely that we in the West can peacefully co-exist with Islamic nations, especially if they have the resources at hand to agressively export their ideology or theology and use our open society and laws against us. Not expanding our use of nuclear engergy and refusing to accelerate the exploration of oil and gas in our own backyard appears to be providing the necessary resources to fund the demise of our own culture and way of life. Again it begs the question originally posted by NDD, "Are we at war with Islam?" How can we not be?
