< If all that a moderate Moslem sees around him as the public face of Islam are groups that call for jihad, either overtly or slyly, he may well feel that there must be something wrong with him not to feel that same rage and hate. He'll probably fall silent, afraid to object, both because of physical threat, and more important, fear of social shunning.>
That reminds me of Nazi Germany. When all around are shouting Sieg Heil, it is a good idea to join in, or at least be very quiet. Islamic Jihad is much the same as the idea of a 1000 Year Reich. Apostates, Jews, Infidels and others are for the chop and rule is to be absolute.
Nipping Nazis in the bud would have been an excellent idea. Supporting Osama and Islamic Jihad against Gorby was a really dumb idea. It was lucky that Russia did the bulk of the work in defeating Germany in WWII [contrary to popular wisdom in the USA, Britain was saved more by the USSR than by the USA, though of course the USA was a big help]. Russia now is a bulwark against Islamic Jihad and has suffered Beslan and other carnage from Islamic Jihad. A shame Gorby and Raygun didn't join forces in the 1980s to resolve Afghanistan's political problems with the USSR without giving Osama a free hand. Raygun stupidly continued Carter's ideas of supporting Islamic Jihad against Gorby.
There was an opportunity to improve Afghanistan, rather than the absurd Carter regime [Brezinski] idea of "giving the USSR their Vietnam". If that had been done, the Twin Towers would still be standing. globalresearch.ca
Note the stupid idea that giving the USSR their Vietnam resulted in the breakup of the USSR. No it didn't. Gorby was civilized and was reforming because he thought it a good idea, not because there was carnage in Afghanistan due to Carter's and Zbigniew Brzezinski's dopey ideas.
