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).
I hope you are correct. But up until now, democracy has come at a great price...one that must be bravely and willingly paid by those who want it. Can democracy be forced on anyone? I guess we are about to find out.
