God knows us. He knows everything about us. He knows our most secret thoughts. He knows the sins we thought we got away with. God knows us so well that He knows not only what we have done but what we are going to do. He knows that we will not remain faithful, even with our gift of faith. He knows.

In my post on 10 May 2006, I discussed the threat of the establishment of a new Islamic caliphate by the forces of Islamic fundamentalism within Islam. That discussion centered on the argument that it does not take a large number of Islamic fundamentalists to achieve the goal of establishing the caliphate. That discussion assumed that everyone understands what the new Islamic caliphate would be and why it is a threat, an assumption that may have been incorrect. This post seeks to redress that assumption.
