The sole means of social organization is Islam itself, not a rule of law, democratic process, free market etc. Islam does not practice inclusiveness, a new buzz word in America. Islam is the sole means of organizing and running a society and you have rules and positions such as a Mufti (religious based judge), Madras (religious based school), Imam (cleric - but also the primary window to the outside world)... Islam commands strict adherence with prayers, diet, dress, etc. The difference between Western self proclaimed Christians and Muslims is the most Christians simply culturally identify themselves as such, while Muslims really live their religion. Most secular Western Christians really can't even understand nor accept that they are in the midst of a religious war, may that be in Bosnia, Sudan, Israel, the terrorist attacks in the US (WTC I, II, Ft Hood, attacks on recruiting stations..., Abu Saaef in the Philippines, Syria, Egypt, Libya, USS Cole, Kohbar Towers, Lebanon... To the average Westerner, the idea of this being a conflict between two paradigms is near incomprehensible although the real antagonists such as Iran, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, Hezbollah, AQ in the past and a plethora of other groups make no secret of this. It is comical to see how in the West we try to redefine things to make them appear as something other than what they are, acts of workplace violence, misunderstandings, etc.
