It is the conflict between fanatical and intolerant and ignorant hordes bent on converting the world to their vision of the one and only true faith: Islam.

This much is exactly true. But Islam is not fully defined by Saudi Wahhabinism. Christianity is not fully defined by Protestant Fundamentalism.

There is a war on, a conflict between the currently-powerful fundamentalist Islam against Jews and Judaism. But it would be a mistake to tar all Moslems with that brush, just as it would have been a mistake, 60 years ago, to tar all Germans with the "rabid Nazi" brush. (But yes, they get to pay the price along with the rest for failing to be self-policing. Such is the way of the world.)

Unfortunately, our 'leadership' lacks the stones to make them pay the terrible price that is their due. As a result, between the corrosive nature of he Gramscian Left and the evil midevalism of the Islamic worldview, Western Civilization may not survive the 21st century.

If by the word "all", you mean every single Muslim in the world, then I have no argument. However, if by "all" you mean an overwhelming majority, then I disagree. I don't see Muslims protesting homicide bombings or any other violent actions against the Jewish State OR actions against Jews in other countries. That doesn't mean they don't exist, but they're not making enough of a stink to get into the newspapers. And, based on the Muslims that I have seen, I suspect the reason I haven't seen these "peace-loving" Muslims is because they don't exist in meaningful numbers.
