I think you need to re-read my posts.

We face a serious religio-cultural threat in the form of radical Islam. No serious person has disputed that, even before the attack on September 11. I wish it were not so.

I have certainly not, however, called for us to initiate a "religious war." I have merely said that if it is forced upon us, we must respond with full vigor. I have also suggested that there may not be much we can do to avoid it.

In contrast to the supremely ironic arrogance of the peaceniks, I have no illusions about our ability to control world events. At best, we can influence them. In terms of the Muslim world, our influence appears to be a nadir.

So, if you spend your time waiting on me to call for a US-initiated "religious war," I'm afraid you'll have a lot of down-time.

While you're waiting, I'd be curious to hear which of my posts, specifically, you disagree with. Would also like to know where you feel I have been proposing "relgious war for no other reason than to insult Islam."
