I haven't been following the conversation on cougarboard....
but I will say that there seem to be two camps:
1) we are fighting an illegitimate branch of extremists among Muslims
2) we are engaged in a clash of cultures and beliefs, that in the most extememe fashion, is manifest in terrorism and war.
THe PC answer is #1.
The more disconcerting answer is #2. I think it would be a mistake to disregard #2.
