It’s good to see this sort of thing...the vast majority of Muslims are obviously not extremists - a point lost on many Americans, I fear. Assymetric conflicts, such as GWOT, require an incredible amount of cultural understanding to win and this sort of video helps in that understanding.
really?

I see the opposite problem here in New York. Too many people don't want to see the problem. They imagine that it is only a few thousand fundamentalist lunatics and many more nationalists. They don't understand the base of support.

The sad fact is that if 1% are dangerous, 10% are militant Islamists, and 14% are sympathetic for a total of 25%, then we are dealing with a larger population almost the size of the United States and 10,000,000 potential terrorists.

In the military I get a different perspective of what people think I guess...one of “bombing them back to the stone age because they’re all terrorists.”
