A good book to read. Makes you think. Why the threat of jihadists taking over Europe in the near future is every bit as great a threat to the U.S. as was the threat of the Nazis taking over Europe in the 1940s What would really happen if Islamic terrorist acquired weapons of mass destruction? (It's worse than you think)

I think the threat is overstated. European countries, France especially, have little problem cracking down on extremism when they need to do so. The United States actually displays more tolerance for radical Muslim groups.

The threat of Jihadists taking over Europe is about as imminent as the threat of communists taking over the United States.

Seriously, why seem to many American conservatives (I assume this book has a conservative tone) disconnected from reality?
