Fighting?
I'll bet you've seen a news item like this more than once:
Brenda Evans, 38, who is fighting cancer, received an unpleasant surprise in the mail yesterday....
And I'll bet you've thought something like this:
Fighting? If that's a war, Brenda's fighting for Cancer, not against it.
When I hear experts talking about a "civil war within Islam", I see this picture. So far, the alleged "moderate side" of Mohammed's world has been fighting on the same side as the cancer. I'll believe it's a Civil War when I see spontaneous resistance, preferably suicide attacks, by the "moderate side". ¶ 3:33 PM
