Obama should read Jihad Watch !

Jihad watch Is Always great at summing up what is going on ! The Obama could "Possibly get" something out of it .

jihad watch
"There is essentially one battle going on, and it is a battle about Islam"

So says former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. And he makes it all very simple and Manichaean: there are "two elements in Islam: one wanted to work with the West; the other did not." We just have to work with the one that wants to work with the West.

Of course! Why didn't anyone think of that before?

Anything in his talk about why the "extremists" are so popular, or is that assumed to be a simple matter of policy and reaction to Western foreign policy? Did Blair even get close to mentioning the fact that there is a traditional, deeply rooted idea in Islamic texts and teachings, that Muslims must wage war against and subjugate unbelievers -- regardless of what those unbelievers have done or not done? I am sure that he didn't, despite its relevance to his point.

But until analysts grapple with that fact, nothing is more certain than that the global jihad will continue, no matter which smiling moderate is feted in Western capitals today.
