Straight talk from Lewis

Bernard Lewis: We Must Mobilize Muslims -Amanda Gordon

Princeton University professor Bernard Lewis [said], "It's misleading to say we are engaged in a war against terrorism. If Churchill had told us that we were engaged in a war against submarines and war craft, we'd be in a different world today. Terrorism is a tactic, it is not the enemy."

The enemy, he said, is Islamism, which he placed as the third in a sequence of ideological deformations that have taken place in his lifetime, the first two being Nazism and Bolshevism.
