Global War on Terror…haven’t heard that term in a few years. Sounds like Islamic extremism is the next phrase to be lopped alongside the aforementioned. Why? Because America still hasn’t figured out who, or what, it is fighting.
The Enemy
So let me break it down for you. America is fighting a very capable and adept foe. The most fundamental aspect of this foe is the fact that they are Islamic extremists, often referred to as terrorists. We have been fighting these terrorists for decades on every habitable continent except South America. Make no mistake, they haven’t simply declared war on the West, they have declared war on our way of life. From our good friend Osama:
We — with God’s help — call on every Muslim who believes in God and wishes to be rewarded to comply with God’s order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it. We also call on Muslim ulema, leaders, youths, and soldiers to launch the raid on Satan’s U.S. troops and the devil’s supporters allying with them, and to displace those who are behind them so that they may learn a lesson.
If the administration thinks that they can counter al Qaeda’s propaganda war by ignoring the fact that the terrorists are Muslims and the West is dominantly Christian, they are sorely mistaken. In fact, they are choosing to ignore that which they should be exploiting: the terrorists are extremists and have murdered thousands of other muslims in the name of Islam. This is how America can separate the terrorist from the populace in places like Afghanistan and Iraq; To drive a rift between the two that results in events similar to those in the second half of Rage Company.

We are at war. A little less PC is appropriate. Maybe we should follow this muslim President’s example: grab your AK47 or M4 and go meet the enemy for yourself.
