Terrorism is only one tactic used in Islam’s international jihad—“holy war”—to dominate the world. For 1400 years terrorism has appeared wherever Islam goes because its founder ordered Muslims to “cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers.” There is no central front in such a conflict and it cannot be won in any single geographical location. That’s why this war must be waged on an international ideological level as well as on a military level.

 America is not alone in wanting to end terrorism. We must strengthen our alliances and develop a strategy of cultural defense for Western Europe, Great Britain, India, and all nations that have been victims of Islamic aggression, oppression, and terrorism.

 We must not substitute short-term solutions for long-term goals. Our objective must be to inform the world fully of the underlying philosophy that breeds and promotes terrorism, and we must do all in our power to free ourselves and our allies from dependence on Middle Eastern oil.

 Afghanistan is a client state of Pakistan; Pakistan is fueled by radical Islamist ideas with the intent of world domination and a return to the rule of a Khalifa—a Muslim monarch to subjugate and rule the entire world under Islam. Until there is a demilitarized, secular, and democratic Pakistan there will never be peace in Afghanistan or anywhere in south Asia. The goal of America and its allies should be to bring about a demilitarized, secular, and democratic Pakistan. Then there will be peace in Afghanitan.

 We will have peace in Iraq only when radical Wahabi Sunni Islamists are defeated. We should work there with liberal, secular, and progressive forces in Iraq that should include Kurds and secular and progressive Shiaas and Sunnies.

 Setting a timetable for withdrawal is setting a timetable for failure. The timetable for withdrawal is when we have achieved complete victory over forces determined to establish an Islamist front in the Middle East.
