This isn't a popularity contest, tejek. Just because the world isn't behind us does not mean we are wrong. On the contrary, Europe is not behind us due in large part to their swelling Muslim populations. It's not politically viable for them to be with us, when this is a war against Islamic fundamentalism. They are scared witless. They know that overt participation will turn Europe into a warzone. The U.K. is the only one that is doing what is right despite their own Muslim population. To think that Europe and the U.S. would be allies forever is a pipe dream. The more Muslim Europe becomes, the further apart we will grow. The only hope I see is if Muslims fight against the radicalization of their religion. Only then will living side by side be possible with Muslims or Europe be possible. If you think I'm exagerating, read CNN. Zarqawi just declared war on Democracy. Finally, their true colors are showing. Again, I believe this movement is NOT fringe. Muslim extremism is moving mainstream and they stand against everything we hold dear. To quote CAIR's chairman (CAIR is one of the most prominant Muslim organizations in the U.S.), Omar M. Ahmad (as reported by the San Ramon Valley Herald in July 1998), "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran . . . should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth."
