I guess living in the 9th century qualifies as slow.

You are so right on that. Then they wonder why people distrust Islam. It's pretty clear to me why they are held in such contempt.

End trade, diplomatic ties with blasphemous states”,

Sounds good to me. We'll just buy our cheap shirts and such from Mexico, Ecuador, the Philipines, etc. We don't need their stinking shirts. They however do need our business.

But you will.

When one of them drives his rented SUV through your front window, or shoots up the local mall with a few (dozen) of his buddies.
