Hi CobaltBlue; I took "conjoining" to mean the collection of disparate islamist influences and states to combine into a single force. In other words, the US against Islam. I don't think that that's a threat because of the inherent inability of the various Islamic states and sects to get along with each other. That religious and political institutions combine in a single country is not a threat to the US, per se. Hitler was a threat to the US and he required no religion to do it, but Germany was an industrial powerhouse, and his regime had allies among other highly industrialized countries. That's a threat. Libya or Egypt, by contrast, is not a threat. -- Carl
