Glad to see you're not buying this load. This same character wrote an op/ed in the NYT about two months ago wherein he asked if his folks were muslims in America or muslim-Americans.

The thrust of the article was that muslims in America needed to rethink their strategies in post 911 America. Prior to that event, he writes, muslim intelectuals and leaders in America were actively discussing the best ways for turning the USA into a muslim society. It was as astonishing a verification of what many of us suspected as the DEM Memo was about their real agenda.

This article is but another bit of strategy.

How many muslim clerics/leaders in America have been indicted for channeling millions of dollars collected from their brothers here to the terror organizations? One guy in Brooklyn deposited $28 million of "community" money to hamas.

Anyone here give at the mosque?

"This article is but another bit of strategy."

It may be, but I don't think it's the kind you imply.

I think there are sincere "moderate" Muslims, for lack of a better word, who want to modernize Islam, and slowly turn them away from the verbatim teachings in the Qu'ran and the fundamentalist uncompromising attitude. BUT they can't quite come out and say THAT to the Muslims, so they have to use a bit of "strategy", in convincing the Muslims that their religion IS the religion of peace.

This is President Bush's strategy as well.

Keep telling them that, while unmercifully getting rid of the terrorist types, and hope that the rest will slowly come to their senses, but you have to give them a way of saving face, so to speak. That's what this author is doing.
