To make "Islamism" (or Islam) the enemy guarantees a permanent war that can be fought all over the world and never be brought to a conclusion unless everyone gets so sick and tired of it that they just can't be bothered tuning into the idea any longer. Sounds like an absolute dream for arms dealers to me. After all, we had to do something after the Fall of Communism! You can't let war just end, for God's sake! It would hurt business.

By the way, a great war against Islam has been tried before. Several times, in fact. It was called "The Crusades", among other things. They finally gave it up and found other pressing reasons to fight wars, but that doesn't mean we can't revive the old concept in the 21st century, does it? ;-)

It's a little known fact that one of the more obscure verses in the Koran even mentions "Keith A of Hertford" (translated from the Arabic words "Ke'itah al Her'tfir") as a future "mortal enemy of Allah", an arch heretic, and a "Satanic deceiver", kind of comparable to the AntiChrist in the Christian tradition. ;-) So, Keith, I think your paranoia and your deep sense of concern on this matter is quite appropriate, and I would advise that you convert your digs into a heavily armed fortress to prepare for the inevitable Islamic assault that is surely coming to your own neighborhood to wipe YOU right off the map! Watch out for swarthy men with beards, robes, typical Islamic headgear, and old well-thumbed copies of "Terrorism for Dummies" tucked in their backpacks. They are out to get YOU personally. And YOUR family. And YOUR way of life. And all you hold dear. They intend to eliminate scones, ban the eating of pork sausages, replace the Queen with the Khalif, and enforce Sharia law in places like Bath and Whining-on-Trent. They MUST be stopped!

Happy now? ;-D
