I’d say it goes to the way in which these poles are taken, or the way in which the questions are asked. Ideologically – absolutely. Here the Christian right is all up over abortion, but few are blowing up abortion clinics. There you’ll find among the economically desperate more that will take action and at the other end many very wealthy Saudi’s are lending support. Still there is not a majority willing to take up arms. What OBL is all about is at the very core of Islamic belief, but his methods can only be condoned by a Hanbali interpretation, and that is a minority? It’s changing for sure, and if we ever become economically unimportant to them it’ll get uglier than we can even imagine. Best sign I can give you is when it’s dangerous to go to Dearborn MI - it’s on – but with understanding I hope we can avoid this.
