In his essay, Jonathan actually concedes points central to my argument including:

an ideology bent on global domination is at work at the moment; the Muslim Brotherhood is a driving force behind that agenda; Islamists have made inroads in Europe; and a top Muslim Brotherhood operative, Mohamed Akhram, described in a strategic mission statement for his group in North America that it must engage in “a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within…by their hands [i.e., ours] and the hands of the believers so that God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.

You should listen to his show, securefreedomradio.com, which regularly has Gordon Chang on to discuss exactly what you’ve so eloquently stated.

The threats are no doubt multiple.

Ex-Snook,
We can have more than one threat at a time. Gaffney has never downplayed China. Whence your myopia?
