noway had this in his journal, but I thought I'd pass it along too ... http://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/02/opinion/02RUSH.html ... it's a very interesting analysis by Salman Rushdie on the whole under-pinnings of the Islamist threat.By the way, you have to register with the New York Times to read it (which is, frankly, a freakin' pain in the ass ... I tried a good two dozen user names until I had one without numbers following ... as a side-bar: there were already 27 people using "NYTsucks" as a user ID, since they suggested "NYTsucks28" to me!).
