All Muslims are exponential. All Muslims wants the same thing that the Muslims wanted when they flew the airplanes into the buildings/field. All the rest of us had better realize that and get their heads out of the linear sand.

That was my thought as well on Chapter 17. However, I am revisiting and thinking through it a bit more. I think it may be a mistake to lump them all together. For example, as Chapter 17 discusses, there are a lot of young Muslims questioning the authorities having tasted Western liberty. In addition, while 25% of the Muslims in Britain think it is OK to kill innocent non-muslims to further the religion (according to a poll last year), that means 75% don't.

I think we also need to separate the people from the leadership. A good example is Iran. The Mullahs are very different from the freedom marchers on the street.

Still thinking through it. I do think that the identification of paths to or away from liberty is fascinating.
