It addresses some of the core ideological obstacles the West is facing in the delusion of a "tamed" Islam living in peace within a "multi-cultural" society - as least in the manner contemporary liberals understand multi-culturalism. Islam is simply schizophrenic.
This article also details the growing dissent that scholars like Daniel Pipes is facing within his following. If 75% of Islam is about Jihad and the rest religion, then logically a growing demographic of people in the West who are becoming proficient in all things Islam will start to see the schizophrenia and grow to oppose it.
Thus, we see that Mr. Pipes' argument there is a "moderate" Islam is true, but only a different side of the same coin.
I don't agree with Warner's assertion people are naive about Islam, enough to not make a difference. Our government and institutes of "higher" learning are simply so crippled by political correctness and global business interests as to be incapable to oppose global political Islam. At least right now.

The Clash of Ideologies - A Review
"...It's time we recognized the nature of the conflict. It's total war and we are all involved. Nobody on our side is exempted because of age, gender, or handicap. The Islamofacists have stolen childhood from the world." [FReeper Retief]
"...That the totalitarian force pitted against freedom wears a religious makes this civil war among mankind all the more difficult to engage. Loving freedom as we do, it seems reprehensible to deliberate against a religion. But this is no ordinary religion as it demands absolute obedience of all to their religion at the cost of freedom itself." [FReeper Backtothestreets]
