I could not agree more with Steve Emerson. I teach terrorism to state, local and federal stakeholders ( and on the college level). I have been studying terrorism for many years and have over 30 years of law enforcement experience. All of the Muslim extremist groups can be classified as having almost identical platforms or "end game". Most were outlined by Steve but I also opine that they all believe in the following: Destruction of Israel Isolation from the West and non-believers Cleansing of the Islam (taking it back to the 8th Centuyr) Defeating the West and moderate Muslim regimes Creation of a regional and later a worldwide Caliphate I have sent letters to our representative Harry Reid (last letter still not answered) and I have outlined my concerns about our seemingly inept foreign policy and how we perceive or communicate about these groups. We appear to be doing little to place these groups in check. We do not appear to have any sort of strategic plan on how to deal with Muslim extremism. They (extremists) have a very clear plan that is communicated daily but we cannot seem to come up with a viable plan that will keep us safe in the years to come.
