Whoah there! Violent Christian Organisations have not gone away. How do you think some folks (Taliban) view NATO and the EU. - only one Muslim nation in NATO. Just because you define yourself as secular, it does not mean that you are in the eyes of the other side.

I think radical fundamentalist Islam is an aberration as well, but it's been with us for 1,000 years or more so I'm not that hopeful.

That all said, I wish President Obama well, but I culturally predisposed to mistrust skilled orators!
