That quote reminds me of some of the articles that I have read in the last 3 and a half years about the Islamofascists. Their concept of time is so different from our microwave society.
They are determined to take the US down from within as well as through the terrorism used so far----they instruct their people, especially the boys in school to get involved in the businesses and the politics locally and then statewide and then nationally until there is enough support from within to make this an Islamofascist country.
Sort of like what Kerry did in the '60s and '70s?
