Analyst's note:  Just in case you wonder why genuine "Islamic Reformers" are so few and far between anywhere in the world.  One of the reasons is identified here.  To put this discussion into perspective, it helps to understand that according to Dr. Walid Phares, 90% of American Middle Eastern studies programs - from which the United States has been receiving much of our information on the jihadist enemy - is run by Wahabist radicals out of their home country of Saudi Arabia.  Islamist infiltration is now well documented in the highest levels of U.S. Gov't.

Renowned islamologist Roman Silantyev cited statistics according to which about fifty Islamic spiritual leaders were killed in the North Caucuses [sic] for fighting against Wahhabism.

"Almost 50 people were killed. These people could have formed a big muftiat," he said in the The Faith and the World program on the Voice of Russia radio.

According to the islamologist, there are few such people left in Russia: "they are killed almost every month, losses is some muslim boards are irreplaceable, the greater number of people who were able to actively fight against Wahhabism have been killed."

"Others are demoralized and stopped opposing or just deserted to the enemy. The situation is critical," Silantyev believes.

He is satisfied that Russian authorities ordered to give security guards to Muslim spiritual leaders in the North Caucasus, "or we can just stay without allies."

Its time for someone to stand up and address some of the real national security issues and Newt does just that in these remarks.  He discusses three fronts in this war and their importance to our survival.  The fronts are the United States, second is Europe, and the third is the Middle East.  It is interesting that he also notes the requirement to know the truth -- especially concerning the Stealth Jihad now on our American soil.  Further, Newt is recognizing and talking in clear, understandable terms about a global war that has been forced upon us.
