"Muslim imperialism is therefore a religious duty". I really believe that this article should be read. Edward Luttwack says what many hesitate to say: that Islam, the religion, and all Muslims, are the problem. For Luttwack, and many others in the West I have no doubt, they consider Bin Laden a logical outgrowth of the faith. Imagine of somebody were to claim that a murderous Jewish or Christian kook is representative of Judaism or Christianity? When I read this article, I felt a sense of worry. Real worry about the future. These ideas have deadly consequences, and it has been revealed in the course of the Arab-Israeli conflict that early Zionist myths about Arabs (that they are stupid and don't read) were quite fallacious.
