And with regard to my use of the word "fear"...it is just a word used interchangeably with the word "doubt."

I am not afraid because I already know who is going to win the war between good and evil.

" Evil is far to great to be threaten by any government structure no matter how divine in origin. "

I understand your point that the evil in Islam is more fundamental than the nature of a government, but it’s important to understand that such an evil can not thrive in a Democracy. The two are fundamentally incompatible. Either the democracy will fade into a façade of democracy like in Saudi Arabia or Islam will mix and/or reform like in Turkey and Indonesia. Since declaring war on an idea (Islamism) rather than a practice is incompatible with a good in democracy, we’ve instead chosen a strategy of aggressively promoting democracies at Islam’s geographical and ideological core rather than attacking Islam directly.

So that’s why I took issue with your “concern” that democracy is no match for Islam. We’re going to force it to reform for it’s survival (and for ours).
