Islamic extremists have plan to dominate world, Air Force general says By WES FERGUSON Tuesday, November 06, 2007 BIG SANDY - Islamic extremists have a 100-year plan for world domination, and Americans must be prepared for the long fight, a U.S. Air Force general told East Texans on Monday. Speaking during a Veterans Day banquet in Big Sandy, Mike McClendon said extremists want to create an economic superpower with the biggest army and strongest currency, and they want half the world's population to reside in an Islamic state. They plan to gain control of oil reserves and bankrupt Western countries, and they plan to create safe havens throughout the world, including some in Latin America, he said. "They're willing to go as long as it takes, and they are making progress," said McClendon, who commands the Air Force's Global Cyberspace Integration Center in Virginia. McClendon's office culled the information from extremist Web sites, he said. The general, a former teacher at the International ALERT Academy in Big Sandy, delivered the findings to about 450 people who attended ALERT's sixth annual Veterans Day event Monday night. He noted that extremist attacks had gained frequency in the years between the Iran hostage crisis of 1979 and the 9/11 attacks. "Since 2001, United States interests have not been attacked on U.S. soil ...," he said. "The reason for that is because we're taking the war to them." McClendon also reported good news from the war in Iraq. Civilian deaths fell 45 percent in the last year, 62 percent of the population wants a unified Iraq, and 78 percent oppose an Islamic-controlled state, he said. "The war in Iraq is one of many battles for the hearts and minds of the rest of the world," he said. The ALERT Academy is home to the Air Land Emergency Resource Team, which trains young Christian men to respond to natural disasters and other crises throughout the world. David Herring, who coordinates outside events, camps and conferences for ALERT, said the banquet recognizes veterans and active military members, as well as law officers, firefighters, emergency personnel and other people who ALERT students should emulate. "It's important for every citizen to honor those people who have given for our freedom," he said. "It's a way to say thanks, a minor effort on our part to express our gratefulness." Dwayne Harris, an Air Force veteran from Longview, said he was attending the banquet for the second time. "It's an honor," he said. "It's fantastic." <http://www.news-journal.com/news/content/news/stories/2007/11/06/11062007_v eterans_ceremony.html?imw=Y> [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
