A Sane Society

Erick Stakelbeck is one of the premier experts on terrorism.  I highly recommend his book, The Terrorist Next Door, as well as his newest book, The Brotherhood.

The quote below is far from the essence of his work. In a chapter about the alarming number of mosques that are being built without question across our nation, Stakelbeck gives way to some frustration. It is by no means the most important message of his book. I am simply feeling frustrated, today, too; so I decided to share what I believe to be a dangerous truth.

I will say, there are very few people that I admire more than Erick Stakelbeck. We would be wise to pay attention.

From Erick Stakelbeck's new book, The Brotherhood, page 225:

"In a sane society, an ongoing, existential struggle against Islamists - of both the violent and stealth variety - would mean fewer mosques, not more.  But the West, including the United States, isn't too concerned with self or cultural preservation these days.  Besides, the new iPhone is out and Honey Boo Boo is on the tube - so who has time to worry about depressing stuff like jihad and sharia? Better to bury our heads in the latest gadgets, watch the Kardashians, and have another brew.  It'll all work out in the end: after all, in Barack we trust, and he shall protect and provide."
