Recently, and for the first time, I'm truly spooked by Islamic terrorism [View All]

[accipiter]

I've always seen it as a problem, but one that would eventually go away. Bush might not do it, but eventually it would burn out like a fire running out of fuel. But last night I saw an episode of Frontline on PBS, about Al Queda in Europe. I realized that these people are serious, and they want to restore the Caliphate, the old Islamic empire. The following is the thread I posted about it.
