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.

Well said. We all cannot "just get along."

It may be that one civilization is superior, but that doesn't efface the existence one that is inferior.

Reasoning morphs into propaganda when it turns a blind eye to realities.

Exactly. That was the point Dr. Sultan was making. There cannot be a "clash" of civilizations when one side is not civilized (a civilization).
