I have lived in the Muslim world and have written about our experiences (The Gathering Storm, Dailey) from a Christian point of view. There is a balance to be struck between xenophobia and legitimate security concerns. I found many Muslims to be commendable, but they were unable to stand against the violent impulse at the heart of their religion.

Well said. Same here. They will follow the koran when ordered to do so in times of turmoil. The teachings of the koran are the root problem.

That reminds me of the assessment given by Winston Churchill.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die: but the influence of the religion paralyzes the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. …
He also noted that slavery would never end until Islam ceased to be a world power, due to the requirement in Sharia law that all women have to belong to a man in some way.
