Has Horowitz become an Islam realist?

In a fundraising e-mail for Robert Spencer’s Jihad Watch, which he has teamed up with and is supporting financially, David Horowitz writes:

Liberals are so afraid of offending Muslims that they are denying these facts which are staring us in the face:

• Muslims the world over are engaged in an openly declared Holy War or Jihad against the West.

• This Jihad is a grave danger to our nation and to all of Western civilization.

• The Jihad challenges every facet of American life. Its agenda includes the purposeful and systematic dismantling of all aspects of our culture. It hopes ultimately to impose Sharia law on the U.S., replacing our law with provisions such as the stoning of adulterous women and cutting off thieves’ hands.

• The extent of the threat is not being effectively and truthfully communicated to the American public.

Perhaps the text comes mainly from Spencer, but still, that’s David Horowitz, saying that ISLAM (not radical Islam) is the problem. This is another bracing sign of an awakening of the West to a 1,400 year old reality we had forgotten.
