Yes she's brave to point out some of Islam's many faults, and I hope I don't read her obituary tomorrow. I disagree with her premise, that the West and the Mohammedan world are not engaged in a clash of civilizations. We are, and I don't see the Moslems "modernizing" to get in step with the 21st century.
I challenge your use of the word "civilization." The west is, the terrorist world is not. Therefore, there is no clash of civilizations. There is only civilization under attack.
