1.  What is the main idea of Cliff May's commentary?

2. What does Mr. May say violent and non-violent Islamists are working toward?

3.  While acknowledging that "Most of the world's Muslims are not participating in [jihad], are not eager for bloodshed, and do not want to live under clerical dictatorships" what does Mr. May say is a huge problem for democracies with Muslims worldwide?

4.  There are varying opinions about how best to protect the U.S. and other democracies against violent Islamism.  What do you think is the best way to do so?  [Note: This is a serious and rather discouraging article.  But take heart!  Although many plot violence against Americans, many attacks have been thwarted by our vigilance.  The purpose of Mr. May's organization is to educate American leaders and citizens to the dangers we must be aware of and prevail against.]
