Like in Harry Potter where Voldemort is called “he who must not be named”...

'r i g h t'. . .lol; but. . .for sure. In this case, not identifying the enemy; empowers the enemy, of course; just as not 'naming' a 'power'. . .gives the unmentionable, more power.

Meantime, we have Alan Colmes and the Left et al; decrying David Horowitz's efforts to 'wake up' an American constituency - University students in particular - - to the realities of radical fundalmentalism i.e. Islamic Facism; and has been marked as a racist jokester of sorts for doing so. . .'what a horrible thing to say'. . .

The Left diminishes the efforts here by damaging those who attempt 'the truth'. . .Not unlike, Hillary, calling VP Dick Cheney, 'Darth Vader' because of his efforts to actually deal with our enemies. This IS a joke to them; and they want it to be for the rest of us.

As for. . .'he who must not be named'; I suspect that will be Hillary. . .a name not articulated casually again should she ascend to power. She was only 'the wife' in truth, albeit, a powerful one, when in the WH. . .and she took pains to remind her staff; just 'who' they were dealing with. If you remember; no one was allowed to walk in the halls when her heinous 'walked the halls'; at least not without purposeful protocol; and you were never to look her in the eye, should you encounter her.

For sure; Hillary will be the'nameless' as per the unspoken in Harry Potter. Inauthentic power, requires at least that much. . .

And if Hillary is elected, then radical Islam will be HER PROBLEM which she will have to contend with.

Likely she will do much the same as Bush has been doing, though the media will spin her approach as something totally new and different.

You asked about the women in the photo wearing scarves.
From an article on danielpipes.org (probably appeared in NY Sun July 3, 07 ) the photo was captioned as follows :

Sitting in the audience at the Islamic Center on June 27, 2007, three senior Bush administration staffers wore makeshift hijabs: Fran Townsend (far left), Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, NSC Senior Director for European Affairs Judy Ansley (left), and Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Karen Hughes (right).

She’ll solve the problem by pardoning al Qaeda.

The irony here is that the 'Left' imagines an empathy; a resonance with this enemy; which in truth exists. But the Left is only using them so as to advance their own agenda. As they facilitate this enemy; and empower them; they will find themselves. . .'too late smart' and they will become this enemy's target as well; and in a most personal way. (The yearning promises of Jihadists, to behead Madonna and Paris. . .offering less than a veiled hint; but one still not reconizeable to our Lib Left. . .)

During WW11. . .those Imams who collaberated with Hitler. . .recognized a similar resonance. Had Hitler won, of course, those Imams and their spiritual 'body collective' would have been Hitler's next genocide. . .

Great speech, wasn't it? Too bad that shortly thereafter President Bush was replaced by this guy:

My kids told me that when you stop laughing at fart jokes you’re too old.

Well go on farting.
