BEIRUT, Lebanon – Massive mosques erected across America, including on the site of a buildings struck by the 9/11 attacks; more Muslims in Washington's power structure than ever before; presidential celebrations of "Iftar;" and the formal recognition of Islam's power inside America's business world with footbaths and prayer times.

What is happening?

A new intelligence report, according to Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin, concludes that "the collapse of the West is not because Islam is at the gates, (but) Islam is at the gates because of the collapse of the West."

The verdict comes from Global Information Systems, an intelligence network whose unclassified analysis is used by the U.S. government. The GIS report, "The Gathering Storm around the Greater Eastern Mediterranean Region," was authored by GIS Director Gregory Copley. He also is president of the Washington-based International Strategic Studies Association.

Copley describes a "gathering storm" engulfing the eastern Mediterranean region, spawned by a relative strategic decline in America's ability to sustain its projection of global military dominance.

The report confirms much of the West is experiencing political paralysis due to economic disarray, the U.S. economy is in decline and the U.S. dollar as a global currency is in retreat. And Islam is expanding rapidly in regions where it had been a relatively minor factor.

Further, Russia's dominance over Eurasian energy networks is rising and a global economic transformation is developing in the use of currency and credit.
