Submerged Questions of the Week

Background

"Like a weakened virus, muslim thugs worldwide are helping inoculate the world, country by country, against the more potent threat of Islamic terror cells. Public reaction to the thugs has in reality been similar to production of antibodies (appropriate attitudes by freedom-loving societies) aligned against a deadly plague." -Vigilis, M.E., Dec 14, 2005. 

At the time few knew of the actual identity and virulence of the most potent vector purposefully spreading the radical Islam virus around the globe. While no longer secret, related facts have been largely submerged in the U.S. media.
