Different Tide

In trying to develop this documentary dealing with Islamicism, I've noticed a trend lately...first the BBC doc with the thesis that the West is way overreacting to the "Islamicist threat" and now the revelation that the liberal Egyptian Coptic was probably killed by a neighbor with the motive of robbery.

Coupled with the Dutch intelligence report on the Van Gogh murder, the liberal Islamicist speaker on USC campus last week and most importantly the events in Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and Iraq....well, dare I say, things don't seem all that bad - maybe this whole "Islamicist" problem might be working itself out.
