I'm not inferring anyone here wants to reason with or defend Radical Islam. Not the intent of my post. I just feel that this is an ever growing serious threat, and this is what this country and the international community needs to be primarily focused on -today.  Period.  The warning signs are obvious. In this country, we are so tangled up in right/left political BS - every effort is made to take the opposing Party down at every turn - it is truly frustrating because we are not unified, which makes it nearly impossible to effectively address the issues this country faces. If we could ever get on the same page (as unrealistic as that may be) we could really make some headway. I'm simply just pointing out the obvious warning signs which smack me in the face everytime I read the news.
