I really wish the administration would stop casting this in some type of religious context . ISLAM is less a religion than a system of government. Islamic governments base their entire structure on the Koran. Not just it's laws but every policy it makes. There is NO daylight between the Koran and the day-to-day activities of the "government". ISLAM is as much a political/economic philosophy as capitalism, socialism, communism or any other "ism" in the realm of political governing models. I have not explained it very well but. I have up close and personal experience living under it. I wish some of the president's advisors on the Middle East had had the same experience. Muslims are religious but Islamists are political and are in direct competition for world dominance.

While I can't agree with your statement that ISLAM is less a religion than a system of government. (simply because Muslims' knowing nothing of the separation of mosque and state does not make Islam any less a religion), I nonetheless could not agree more with the rest of your post here.

Muslims are religious but Islamists are political and are in direct competition for world dominance.

Your last statement bears repeating. (... and repeating.) We ignore it at our peril.

Kudos! Islam in a nutshell.
