The 202–102 vote, tallied by The Literary Digest in 1921, breaks down this way: “In round numbers, 55 college student-editors believe that conditions are unusually bad as against 38 who believe that they are not. Of the college presidents and deans, the proportion stands 52 against 43. The religious press, as might be expected, shows a larger ratio of condemnation. Fifty-three religious editors believe we are having something like an immorality wave, as against six who believe we are not.”

44. Since 9/11, Daniel Pipes has been tracking stories about seemingly law-abiding, reasonable, Western-integrated Muslims who come to notoriety after engaging in violence against non-Muslims. In 2006, there was Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill graduate who stands accused of driving an SUV through a crowd of pedestrians reportedly to “avenge the deaths of Muslims around the world”; in 2005, there were the British-born, seemingly well-adjusted London Underground bombers; in 2004, there was Mohammed Ali Alayed, a son of a Saudi millionaire living in Houston who pled guilty to murdering his one-time Jewish friend; in 2003, there was Maher Hawash, a prosperous and respected engineer who was arrested in Oregon and later pled guilty to a federal charge of conspiracy to supply services to the Taliban. Pipes calls the phenomenon “Sudden Jihad Syndrome.”

32. Ellul offers as an example the purely religious war that broke out between Hindus and Muslims in 1947, killing one million people and leading to the creation of the Islamic state of Pakistan—“Land of the Pure”—more than thirty years before the advent of Ayatollah Khomeini. Ellul continued: “Hardly a year has since passed without its marking some new stage in the religious revival of Islam (e.g., the resumption of the conversion of Black Africa to Islam, the return of alienated populations to religious practice, the obligation for Arab socialist regimes to proclaim that their states were ‘Muslim’ republics, etc.).” He added an important, often overlooked point: “The extremism of the Ayatollah Khomeini can be understood only in the light of this general tendency. It is not something exceptional and extraordinary, but its logical continuation.”
