From my perch I can tell you the best, most informed voices on this subject are still demonized, marginalized and disregarded – intellectuals like Bat’ Ye’or, Ibn Warraq, Wafa Sultan, Robert Spencer, Dr. Andrew Bostom et al. These thought leaders, historians ad political theorists should be informing policy and leading institutions whose mission is to thwart the jihad force i the West. We’re not even close. As for myself, the left/islamic axis disappeared me years ago.
