Hmm. Seems odd to say something like this since Islam has already been through several manifestations and is different in interpretation and practice from place to place right now. Eventually it will be available in 1000s of flavors just like every other religion. Save the reflex slogans. This is the last gasp of the Baghdad madrassas.
-------------------------------
How do you support this statement when there are over twenty countries around the globe experiencing islamist violence?
Please explain to me how I can be sure that is the *last* gasp.
Please explain why, in view of the history of islam, I should now believe that it has permanently become something other than what it has been since its inception.
Please provide evidence for why if islam achieves dominance, it will not simply oppress and exterminate everyone who chooses not to convert to islam, and will instead behave tolerantly toward the non-islamics in its midst. Please explain why it will completely change its behavior in that regard, from this point forward.
I need all those explanations in order to make an informed decision with regard to how I can trust islam.
Otherwise I'm likely to conclude that it needs to be wiped off the face of the earth so we can all live in peace. Right now, that's the conclusion toward which I'm tending (and it looks like even the CIA has woken up and smelled the nerve gas).
Perhaps your explanations can stop the holocaust... We're all waiting...
