The Challenge

In essence, we are asking many peoples across a broad spectrum of ideologies to sacrifice emotionally and physically for a cause that remains nebulous and insubstantial.

The violence of terrorism gets our foot in the door and facilitates our urgings--and it is indeed starting to turn heads--but there are many people who do not read blogs and do not immerse themselves in data and have no idea how serious the problem is. For these people we need something simple, something primal that even the most cynical or uninitiated will accept.

We can never convince everybody, but we can strive to do so. Today is different from all others, for we have the ability to organize spontaneously around a valid theme and trumpet it to the world via the internet. The answer may be esoteric--built around a deep study of culture, history, and anthropology--or it may be simple, commonplace, and hiding before our eyes. Whatever it is, it will divulge itself. All we must do is remain focused and continue the search.
