Thanks, for posting your article. Lots of similar thinking about the Islamic mindset. What is really a problem for those of the Islamic faith that would like to re-examine their teachings and culture - "Today Ahmad Bishara, a prominent Kuwaiti, says that Arabs and Muslims "should engage in deep soul-searching" about their institutions and culture." - is that the Koran is believed to be the word of God by text and to question its authority is death. One of the main reasons you don't see a lot of literature published trying to interpret the Koran . . . just ask S. Rushidie
It will take a major idealogical reversal to get Muslims to engage in any kind of questioning of their culture. And, the extremeists will surely try to kill them if they do.
Another scary issue bothering me quite a bit . . . they are more than willing to committ suicide for their beliefs. They took great pains to live among us, inconspicuously, using our "open society" freedoms against us. We had a difficult time in 'Nam killing the suicide sappers, and, look what hell the Kamikazi pilots besieged upon us in WWII. In fact, they were largely responsible for the decision to use the nukes against mainland Japan. Will we be backed up into that corner again? ? ?
