Today on Frank Gaffney’s Secure Freedom Radio, AEI Scholar Michael Rubin joins Frank for a geo-political tour of the Middle East. There is a continuity of ideas in Totalitarian Islamism that play out in the form of political forces as well as violence. Beginning with his own reflections on 9/11, Michael explains what we haven’t learned in terms of understanding Islamist Terrorism. Who are the people that share Bin Laden’s totalitarian ideology and try to impose it through political and cultural institutions across the map? What will be the consequences of Muslim Brotherhood puppets increasing political power in both Egypt and, most consequentially, in Turkey which is a NATO ally with great access to our defense secrets?
