[Excerpt: "Islamic apologists in academia and the media keep trying to dismiss the radicalization trend, but they're whistling past the graveyard. A new Duke University study claims that "only" 139 Muslim Americans have been involved in terrorism since 9/11 (including 41, or 30%, in 2009 alone).
But the report, which got a big splash in the media, is laughably incomplete. It omits some of the feds' most celebrated terrorist convictions. It also excludes any U.S. Muslims convicted of financing terror. And these are just the homegrown terrorists who got caught. How many others are out there?
New Mexico-born Awlaki has 4,800 Facebook friends. He has thousands of followers in America. At mosques and Islamic bookstores across the country, they buy his sermons extolling jihad and "martyrdom." They're even sold as CD box sets."]

We are not operating on a level playing field and not only are our opponents not seeking to level the field; they are feverishly working to slant it ever more sharply in their favor."]

The extraordinary double standard at work between the West and the Muslim world is one of the most troubling elements in the ongoing clash of cultures.
Because the West is reluctant to admit it is even engaged in such a war, it is unable or unwilling to effectively prosecute many of the battles that arise.
Taken singly, skirmishes like the one reported recently in the Associated Press – about the disparity of the sides’ reaction to religious proselytizing – don’t amount to much. But taken together, they seem to me to paint an alarming portrait.

According to her Twitter feed, US State Department Representative to Muslim Communities Farah Pandith has received a tour of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies in the UK where she had lunch with whom she described as “Fellows at Oxford Centre.” The Oxford Centre describes itself on its website as:
