Perhaps I should have been clearer. The leaders of Iraq, Syria and Libya are socialist/fascist dictators who are also Islamic. They are also driven by hatred and envy of Israel, the United States and the West, but they are different from the mullahs of Iran, the Taliban, al'Quaeda and the Wahabbi fanatics of Saudi.

No big problem guys ...

ZS, I must say your original post conflated secular muslimdom with moderation. Thank you for clarifying.

LDD, I cc'd you assuming your clear denunciation of the Islamokrauts indicated someone likely unpersuaded by ZS's (now corrected) equation of Islamokrautery with moderation.

The sad and fundamental fact remains that there are no established democracies of open economy in all of Islam. Whether secular or credulous, they are almost all Nazified ala' Hitlerian Germany with its strange amalgam of ethnic-religious-pagan-radical violence.
