LONDON, Nov. 10 — Prime Minister Tony Blair said today that the threat from home-grown Islamic terrorism would last “a generation,” reinforcing a highly unusual warning by the head of the MI5 domestic intelligence agency that some 1,600 suspects in 200 terrorist cells were under surveillance. http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/10/world/europe/11terrorcnd.html?ei=5094&en=f05d4de4520d8581&hp=&ex=1163221200&adxnnl=1&partner=homepage&adxnnlx=1163183121-eVTcmQ8+CprzbNrREAGp+Q
To those knee-jerk leftists who would respond to this query with political correctness: Tell me what your fear is about questions like this.
I mean, is it your naive belief that, so long as Americans have a simplistic and Disneyworld view of all religions or Islam in particular, everything will be fine and this Islamist terror threat will eventually go away like the malignant tumor you had an herblist treat with witches brew?
Like you, I wish the world were just like a John Denver song...sadly I know its not.
