      A graduate of the University of Illinois College of Medicine, Sheldon Cohen has practiced internal medicine, served as a medical director of the Alexian Brother’s Medical Center in Northwest Suburban Chicago, and served as the medical director of two managed care organizations: Cigna Health plan of Illinois and Humanicare Plus of Illinois. The author taught internal medicine and physical diagnosis to medical students from Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine and the Chicago Medical School. Recognizing the fact that busy physicians are pressed for time and thus often fail to capture a thorough medical history, the author perfected one of the first computerized medical history systems for private practice and wrote a paper on his experience with 1500 patients who utilized the system. This was one of the first efforts in promoting electronic health records, a work in progress to this day. Serving as a consultant for Joint Commission Resources of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the author did quality consultations at hospitals in the United States, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Copenhagen, Denmark, and served as a consultant to the Ministry of Health in Ukraine, assisting them in the development of a hospital accrediting body. The author lectures to lay audiences on Risk Factor Analysis, Early Detection and Prevention, Symptoms Never to Ignore, The Prevention of Medical Errors, How to Take Charge of Your Own Healthcare, Hormones Nerves and stress, and other topics of a medical nature.

      Dr. Cohen is the author of eighteen books.

      BACKGROUND HISTORICAL CONTRAST

      I AIM TO SET UP A THOUSAND-YEAR REICH AND ANYONE WHO SUPPORTS ME IN THIS BATTLE IS A FELLOW FIGHTER FOR A UNIQUE SPIRITUAL—I WOULD ALMOST SAY DIVINE—CREATION

      Adolph Hitler

      A divided United States of America was predominantly isolationist all through the 1930’s when Europe headed for war. Germany, under the leadership of Adolph Hitler, after bloodlessly conquering Austria and Czechoslovakia, invaded Poland on September I, 1939 unleashing World War II. America’s isolationist mind-set continued until December 7, 1941 when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor Naval Base in Hawaii, destroyed the bulk of the American Pacific fleet and killed over twenty-four-hundred of our sailors, soldiers and civilians. We now had the impetus to unite. The next day, President Roosevelt gave his famous “day that will go down in infamy” speech and declared war on Japan. Hitler, already at war with Britain, France, and allied with Japan, declared war on the United States forcing us to do what we do best in dangerous times; come together as one, mobilize human and industrial resources, pursue the war with vigor and emerge victorious three years and nine months later.

      World War II had been a war between nations ending in the defeat of Germany and her allies in 1945. It morphed into a Cold War (some call it World War III), characterized as a state of tension between the Western Bloc consisting of the United States with the nations of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) formed after World War II, and the Eastern Bloc consisting of Russia and its Allies of the Warsaw pact also set up after World War II. These former allies were now antagonists suspicious of each other’s motives and engaged in a psychological war pitting nations against nations, both sides armed with nuclear weapons.

      The Cold War was not a shooting war, but the resulting tensions did provoke conflict between nations or groups of nations, such as the Korean War (1950-1953), the Viet Nam War (1959-1975), and the Soviet war in Afghanistan (1979-1989). The Cold War also did provoke incidents that could have led to war such as The Berlin Blockade crisis (1948-1949), the Berlin Crisis of 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis (1962).

      Now, 2013, we are engaged in a war—not nation against nation—but against a radical religious segment of a religion, which threatens to destroy our civilization.

      MILITANT ISLAM

      BE PATIENT

      Osama bin Laden

      All through this extremely hectic period of the early 1900’s to 1941, the Middle East was home for Arab Muslims and a minority population of Christians, and Jews many of whom fled Eastern European anti-Semitism. They were all victims of the geopolitical machinations of this hectic time.

      Make a quick leap ahead to 2013. We have been involved in a war now for about twenty years—some would say forty—but few accept it and fewer understand it. This war is not against sovereign countries, as it was in World War II enabling us to band together against a visible enemy, but rather is against the virulent religious ideology of radical or Militant Islam bent upon our destruction and manifesting itself by acts of terror against our countries, citizens and facilities. Yet most of us do not recognize it for the concerted effort that it clearly manifests to the entire world.

      Although Militant Islamic believers represents a small, but significant percentage of those who embrace the Muslim religion, it is powerful, well financed, and according to their own statements, hopeful of destroying the United States who they see as the Great Satan, the usurper of Muslim lands, the pilferer of Muslim resources and the one obstacle that stands in the way of their stated goal—an Islamic Caliphate controlling the entire world. They do not mean to hide this goal and their methods of achieving it.

      What happened that brought on this hatred post World War II and into the 21^st century? Here is some history.

      First, it is necessary to understand that the Muslim religion, like the other two great monotheistic faiths, Christianity and Judaism, is not a single entity, but rather consists of different factions. Modern Christianity and Judaism do not advocate violent overthrow of perceived enemies as a means of spreading their philosophy throughout the world. But there is a definite militant element of Islam that professes that philosophy and does not care who knows it; just listen to their Imams teach and preach. Some in the West have proposed that the name of this struggle should be called the War on Terror, or the War against Evil, but those names, in my opinion, do not focus on a single, organized threat that today has no qualms about professing its desire for taking over the world. It is for this reason that I prefer the War on Militant Islam because Militant Islam has told us that they are at war with us, and they have demonstrated it by their deeds. They need to know that two can play at that game, but the struggle may well spell doom for many. The problem is that death in the struggle guarantees paradise for the Militant Islamic devotees—according to their firm belief—so it is a glorious solution for them; but death for the secularists and infidels does not offer that guarantee. With this religious mindset of the Militant Islamists, would the struggle ever cease and are we doomed to a never-ending war of civilizations? We will analyze that thesis.

      Putting a more specific face on Militant Islam includes mentioning the two main current factions: al-Qaeda and the Taliban, evolved in more recent times both of whom profess a deep hatred for Western ideology. They see the United States as the principle impediment to their establishment of a world order based upon a strict interpretation of their Koran (holy book) and Islamic law (Sharia). Osama bin Laden, founder of al-Qaeda and organizer of the destruction of the Twin Towers in New York on September 11, 2001, has stated:

      “We love death. The U.S. loves life. That is the difference between us.”

      “America is a great
