The Gathering Storm!                                                                                                                               

Questions and Answers are cited below as "Q" and "A"

1. Q: To what storm do I refer?

A: To the combination of forces threatening mankind with destruction if insufficiently attended now.

2. Q: Can you illustrate?

A: Yes. See Wednesday, February 8, 2006 New York Times National Report: "86 Evangelical Leaders Join To Fight Global Warming: Legislation is Urged to Reduce Emissions," by Laurie Goodstein.

The opening paragraph of the article summarizes the problem:

"Despite opposition from some of their colleagues, 86 evangelical Christian leaders have decided to back a major initiative to fight global warming saying that 'millions of people could die in this century because of climate change, most of them our poorest global neighbors.' "

3. Q: Are there other top important problems endangering mankind?

A: Yes. All of Europe, not to mention Central Asia and the Far East, are threatened with murder and destruction by claimed Muslims protecting the claimed holiness of the claimed image of Mohammed from claimed horror of newspaper cartoons of Mohammed wearing a typical Muslim headgear.

In short, even the freedom of speech of much of mankind is threatened with disastrous counteraction by Muslims demanding obliteration of any caricature of Mohammed.

4. Q: Is there a clear instance of what you are talking about?

A: Yes. See annexed New York Times, February 8, 2006 Front Page: "Cleric Convicted of Stirring Hate: Britain Imposes 7 Years for Soliciting Murder."

The accompanying article by Don Van Natta Jr. (London): "A jury on Tuesday convicted Britain's most prominent radical Muslim cleric of 11 charges of soliciting murder and racial hatred for using his sermons to encourage his followers to kill non-Muslims."

5. Q: Is there a major unresolved human problem in confronting terror from Bin Laden and his allies?

A: Yes.

6. Q: In what sense?

A: In what sense is well explained in Los Angeles Times , January 20, 2006 A-11:

Referring to the latest audio tape attributed to Osama Bin Laden and the Arab by Al Jazeera:
