But, what I am seeing is that West, like me and many others, is coming across as simply not sure that there is, at the bottom line, a conservative part to Islam. At least, that is what I am getting from his interviews. I personally believe that "jihad" goes part and parcel. And just because they are not in the majority here and appear to be complacent, that could very well change if the numbers grow.

Do you have a particular site you go to retrieve quotes from LTC. West?
I'm interested in reading everything I can get my hands on concerning him.
Thanks.
