Sat 18 Nov 2006
If a means is not found soon to contain islamic-extremism, a Third World War is inevitable. So says general John Abizaid, commander of the American armed forces in the Middle-East.
During a lecture at Harvard in the American Cambridge, Abizaid compared the growth in the number of radical groupings with the rise of fascism in the twenties and thirties in Europe.
<b>Fascism</b>
Just like the rise of fascism led to the Second World War, muslim-extremism will eventually cause a Third World War. Something must be done very fast, otherwise it will be too late according to this high-placed American commander.
According to Abizaid, the extremists are profiting from the laconic stance of the west. They can operate from a safe refuge and develop weapons of mass destruction.
<b>Islamicisation</b>
Earlier this week, Marco Pastors of 'One Netherland' (?, probably political party) compared the islamicisation of The Netherlands with the advancing nazism in Germany in the twenties and thirties. Extremists determine the tone (agenda?) and the established order does nothing.
Just like against the increasingly radical nazis, politics (today) does not dare to act against the extremism that appears to be increasingly gaining the upper-hand in muslim circles. 'There might not be any islamic country occupying us, but there is a community were extreme characters are not dealt with,' said Pastors.
