The Vast Majority Of Muslims Living Here

We Can No Longer Apply The Classic Criteria To Clearly Determine Whether And When We Should Use Military Force. We Are Waging War In Afghanistan, For Example, But It's An Asymmetrical War Where The Enemies Are Criminals Instead Of Soldiers.

It's A Mistake To Assume That Islamists Always Come From The Slums. Indeed, Many Come From Affluent Families But For Some Reason Just Couldn't Manage To Integrate Into Western Society, Even Though They Had Good Opportunities For Advancement.

And Now When We Hear That Iran And Iraq Plan To Cooperate More Closely And That A Fundamentalist Is Coming To Power In Tehran - A Man About Whom We Cannot Be Sure That He Is Absolutely Averse To Terrorism - It Is Very Worrisome.

The Terrorists Who Committed The 2003 Istanbul Attacks Were Locals, That Is, Turks. And When Filmmaker Theo Van Gogh Was Murdered In The Netherlands Last Year, The Murderer And His Supporters Were Also Part Of The Muslim Community.

On The Other Hand, All Kinds Of Adventurous Schemes To Add Security Checkpoints To Subway And Bus Systems Have Been Circulating Since The London Attacks. This Is Nonsense. No One Can Guaranty 100 Percent Security.
