Mike. Thank you for looking at my blog. By killing jihadis where we find them (for instance, in Iraq, where they are flocking to the latest jihad against the infidels) we won't have to face those same jihadis here in the U.S.

Anti-American sentiment has existed worldwide only since 9/11? They've been killing Americans and other infidels for a very long time. And they won't stop killing as long as fundamental muslims answer the call to jihad against the infidels by killing the unbelievers where they find them.

And, thank you for your visit. Though I sometimes employ such sweeping generalizations that seem to be the topic at hand, it is usually to provoke some response from Basit.

I fear, however, that the approach you support is erronous.

Firstly, Mulsim nations (I am referring to Ottoman conquests) have historically been religiously tolerant. The debate over Qu'ranic interpretations with respect to the treatement of infedels, is not something that I am qualified to comment on (not being Muslim and all).

Despite this, I do not believe that anti-American sentiments in eastern nations, precipited in violent action, has any relevance to the "us-them" mentality that you have cited.

Though, indeed, there is a war of values, it is seperate from concern with religious denomination.

Further, though not a current subject of research for me, I blame the vertical distribution of world power for cultivating the resort to violence by the seeming powerless.

That is -- more than quick and violent punishment of persons and nations who may be, or are supposed to be, or for whom it is quite convenient to label as, terrorists -- the world is in desperate need of fundamental structural reform.

Thanks for your post, Bast. I think you scared him away. Also, he has removed his offending posts from his site and has replaced them with excerpts from a wide range of media sources. Ok.

They certainly are cultivating fear in the US right now. That's one very distinct difference between us and them.

On a somewhat unrelated not, George Mason University was hacked earlier today. The hacker walked away (surfed away?) with all the student IDs, passwords, account information, social security #s, etc.
