This is reality, this is the enemy, from Jill Carroll's write up:
A cassette blared a recitation of the Koran and every few minutes the nervous men would mutter "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar," as we drove through the darkness.
Then one of them said in Arabic, "What are you? What are you?"
A tiny voice next to me replied, "I'm a Mujahid," a holy warrior.
It was a boy -- I'd learn that his name was Ismael, and he was 5 years old. Just a child, already indoctrinated.
Spence, you go one an on about politcial motivation for terrorism. OUR enemies are motivated by religious zeal, not politics, not past mistakes by the west, not borders, not constitutions. no one yells long live socialism, long live Syria, long live Arab freedome, estc, when they blow up a bus, plane, buidling. It all about religion. As i sad last week, we could nto "compromise" with Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan. That same fanaticism is what is driving these people.
