As stated by others earlier, if it were status quo, the man would be dead already and you would not have even heard a word about it. This is a beginning. Until it has fully played out, we should not be so self critical of what we have achieved to date. We should also continue to guard against becoming what we fight against, and advocating 'utter destruction' of whole societies that happen to include small radical elements comes pretty close to that.
WADR, I believe you are being extremely naive about the realities of this world. The 'small radical elements' are not small and they had the society they wanted before we took them down, and like a pig with lipstick, they've headed back out to the mud puddle the instant the door was left open. And runs through every strand of Mohammedan societies.
I agree. No matter how this turns out, this ONE case is exposing, to many that are blind, the true evil of islam. The persecution of Christians will only help it to spread...IMHO.
