This is a great point! I keep hearing that the islamo-fascists are only a tiny minority of islam and that they are corrupting and co-opting a great religion and that the vast majority of muslims reject this. Yet, nobody complains...if you say something derogatory about islam thousands pour into the streets the world over, fatwahs are issued, innocents murdered and bulidings get bombed, cars are torched and Westerners wring their hands and whine. But if somebody actually does something that's supposed to be an absolute affront to islam and a crime that screams out to heaven for justice...like oh, I don't know, flying jets into occupied buildings and killing thousands of innocent people...those same people are oddly silent. Well, except for the ones in the street celebrating mass murder and passing out candies.
As far as I'm concerned the reasonable, moderate muslim majority is a myth. Muslims don't want dialog with the West, they want conquest and conversion. Period. And as long as we deny this truth that is before our faces the closer they get to their goal.
From what I read, I suspect that the majority of imams are not educated in any meaningful sense of the word, and I think the foaming-at-the-mouth "Arab street" is picking up their marching orders there. The imams' usual reaction seems to start with fingers-in-the-ears "la-la-la-la, I can't hear you." Makes it difficult indeed.
I think, though, that even if Benedict thinks that Islam is unreformable (a report of that is posted on FR), he does not think that of individual Muslims -- in fact, he couldn't without heresy.
