The Islamic Jihadists are using terrorism as a tactic against the West. I think they have a strategy of infiltrating the West with immigrants who use the West's unfortunate doctrines of "moral relativity," "diversity," and "political correctness" to obtain legitimacy for Moslem doctrines. This can be seen in a recent decision by a German judge to deny a divorce for a Muslim woman who claimed her husband beat her because beating of wives is permitted by the Koran. In Minnesota Muslims are working in grocery stores are refusing to sell pork and cab drivers are refusing service to people with seeing eye dogs or are carrying alcohol. In Quebec Muslim women wearing burkas are to be allowed to vote without a comparison of their face to a photo ID. We need to understand that even the so-called Muslims who don't engage in acts of terrorism want to destroy us and our way of life.

It is unfortunate that President Bush named our engagement with Islam as a "war on terror." He did that because he wants to avoid total war between civilizations. Bush has a strategy that we have to hope succceeds, even as Democrats try to make it fail. If it fails then the global conflict Bush has tried to avoid becomes likely.
