> "which did not exist in the 18th century in its current form"

It was founded in the 8th century and both Madison and R.H. Lee was aware of their prior exploits.

Yes, Islam was founded in the 8th century, but it was modified considerably during the course of the 20th century under the influence of Nazi Middle Eastern policies during WWII, Soviet support of the pan-Arab movement, and the Iranian revolution--that's what I was alluding to by my statement.

Daniel Pipes estimates that at most 10% of Muslims are Islamists and sympathizers.

Mistreating the 90% is stupid. For that matter, mistreating anybody is stupid. If they commit a crime, arrest them. If they violate the immigration laws, deport them.

Mistreating an 11 year old girl because you don't like the politics of 10% of adult Muslims is monumentally stupid.

No it was not modified considerably. It's the same old tales of the prophet and his string of like followers.
