This article in the Jordan Times is such a worthwhile read, I really wish THIS guy was speaking at 10:30, not our president. What a contrast, this guy has looked at the problem, admitted hard truths about Wahibism, and touched on a solution that will no doubt earn him death threats.
Our president OTOH seems to be doing his best to hold up the tatters of PC, so divorced from reality that even the NYT is questioning it.
The history of Islam has plenty of examples of tolerant (by the standards of the day) ruling groups alternating (by war) with fundamentalist ruling groups. We just have a President who encourages the crazies.
