Are the bulk of American Moslems in line with educated Saudi's opinions?

I would say yes.

Is this dangerous?

It could be.

Is it a fifth column?

That is the general consensus.

Is it worse than the Bund of pre World War II?

Well, I would say it more fanatical, less reasonable and fundamentally more dangerous. Why? Because it is a moral religious opposition of a brainwashed cult, it is not diverse secular political opinion. You cannot win a war with a fanatical mind. You cannot argue or compare opinions with the Borg. You are a louse to be exterminated in their dangerous insect-programmed brains.

There will always be dissent in America. It may violently oppose our foreign policy. It may appear reasonable to do so. But what is the fundamental raison d'etre of allowable dissent? We dealt with this in the bad old days of communist persecution. We dealt with it wrongly but I aver that communism is far less dangerous than Muslimism.

If a philosophy or religion's overriding ethic or effective practice, by its general implementation, is to stifle freedom of speech, terrorise all other religions and philosophies, banish and punish individuality of thought or behaviour, then that creed is to be deprecated and shunned. Is this the character of Muslimism? People say no, but I would say, Iran, Saudi Arabi, the Madrasas of Pakistan and many other areas of the Middle East, say resoundingly yes.

One million study in the stagnantly intellectually foul Madrassas of Pakistan, which purport to be religious schools, but are nothing better than medieval torture chambers that espouse Jihad. If you do not believe me, then speak to people who have attended these schools, who rejected the cult and escaped.

I don't give the Muslim's much credit do I? Well I have met many moderate Muslims who seem eminently reasonable. But If 100% of Saudis or thereabouts think Ussama is a nice guy and he can be trusted then I give up on even the reasonable ones. Ussama may hate Israel. Most Arabs do. They may think that the Palestinian treatment is shameful. So do I. But I think that blowing up the WTC was not the way to get the point across. How to do it a good question but I think that that kind of warlike action is verboten.
