Islam must either become a private faith, with freedom to practice OR NOT, or the areas of the world in which it is predominant will remain backwaters and a problem for the rest of the civilized world.
BTW, I have read previously about the problem of language with regard to Islam, i.e., that arabic simply does not have the vocabulary necessary for democratic ideas. Interesting.....
This essay also lays out the way in which Islam is an ideology of utopianism. An all or nothing view of living in the world. The utopianism of the 20th Century lead to massive human deaths; I'm afraid that this is where we're headed in the 21st Century as well.
