The Biggest Threat to Western Civilization
Terrorism and religious fanaticism to establish a dominant caliphate are exemplified by the Islamic Republic of Iran, but secondarily by Jihadist terrorists such as the Taliban, ISIS, and Al Qaeda. These dangerous extremists pose a threat of domination, repression, barbarous violence, and even the potential use of weapons of mass destruction.
Radical jihadists are not only using everything from terrorism to the pursuit of nuclear weapons to achieve their goals of domination and a caliphate, but they are also employing a dangerous strategy of subterfuge and subversion of our democratic institutions and society. As long as we continue to focus almost exclusively on threats from China and Russia and attempt to downplay the significant danger of a radical terrorist caliphate, we ignore the “revolution,” the ideology of martyrdom, and the pursuit of Jihad that is a threat to freedom and human rights not only to the people in their own countries but to those around the world.
