A worthwhile article by Victor Davis Hanson on the real nature of the Islamist threat -- not a single specific organization but a "universal pathology" spread through a whole culture.

Note especially the paragraphs in the middle about those Westerners who minimized or sympathized with the Fascist threat in the 1930s and those who do the same with the Islamist threat today -- not all of them leftists, then or now.
