Tidligere medlem af den amerikanske kongres, Newt Gingrich, talte i går til American Enterprise Institute. Emnet var jihad og sharia og den snigende ikke-erkendte trussel som disse udgør for det frie amerikanske samfund. Der findes ikke mange politikere som Gingrich. De kommer forhåbentlig snart. Det kan næsten kun gå for langsomt.
"Drawing on the lessons of Camus and Orwell, Gingrich will describe the dangers of a wartime government that uses language and misleading labels to obscure reality. He will explain why we need a debate about this larger war against the irreconcilable wing of Islam—which mortally threatens America's way of life, freedom, and rule of law—and how it relates to the nuclear threat from Iran and the various other risks posed to America's very existence. Most importantly, Gingrich will argue that America will remain at risk until it confronts this willful blindness about the nature of its enemies and the nature of the war in which it is engaged.""
