Dear Friends:
Violent hate crimes, principally against Muslims, will be on the increase in the US as the economy continues to fail, and as resentments and tensions grow between the US non-Islamic population and all people (categorically) of the Islamic faith, both within the US and outside of the US. Mosques will become the targets of fury in a wholesale backlash against Islam.
The population of the US, as well as the populations of some of the European superpowers (collectively, the "West") and a fearful component of the constituency of United Nations, is beginning to equate Islam with terrorism.
This is being exacerbated by: the current and contentious issues of the building of a mosque and cultural center (The Cordoba Project, or the Cordoba Community and Cultural Center) at close proximity to the scene of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center; Iran’s building of a nuclear reactor and consequent potential to create nuclear weapons; failed international efforts to “democratize” Iraq, the futile and costly (in money and Human lives) War On Terror in Afghanistan; and the increased power and widening influence of al-Qaeda, Taliban and other radically violent Islamic fundamentalist groups in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran and Iraq.
In addition, there is the time-honored perception (which is largely mistaken) in many fossil-fuel dependent nations (the United States being a classic case-in-point of indolence, false security, and addiction) that OPEC and a small group of wealthy sheiks is directly responsible for every increase in the price of oil and gasoline.
No matter how much offshore drilling there may be in the US (ever!), and no matter how much oil there may be up in the some of the Nordic countries, if a sheikh wrinkles his brow, oil prices immediately fly skyward in the West. It is a deeply-embedded reflexive behavioral pattern that is not likely to change as long as Humans continue to be Humans.
Faithfully,
Douglas Castle
