If we were to do a little editing on the article, this could be an interesting argument. Thus: " The article explains how many "Judaeo-Christians" in the West are becoming increasingly active politically, by supporting or engaging with political organisations seeking to overthrow despotic regimes in the .......world. The analysis goes on to make a staggering conclusion that "Judaeo-Christians" and "Judaeo-Christian" organisations have an obvious propensity for violent, terrorist activity. It concludes that the War on Terror is more correctly referred to as the War of Ideologies." As far as I know no Islamic country has invaded a Western country (except in the case of the Albanian Muslims who invaded Kosovo by stealth) in the past few hundred years. The West on the other hand has been involved in hundreds of wars, including two world wars. The West has spent the last few hundred years invading other countries, regardless of race creed or colour. In the course of those invasions and wars, the Western nations have committed many acts of 'terrorism'. So the comments and the conclusions in the article should more properly be directed at whatever it is in Western culture that gives us this propensity for violence.
