"... the civilization of the Islamic era furnished the foundation for the present civilization. It was a civilization in which Muslims, Jews, Christians, and others lived in safety and justice under a system of tolerance and cooperation."

Notice that the word 'was' is past tense. Of the 30 skirmishes around the world today, 28 involve Islamic countries ... so we know whom it is which no longer has tolerance nor cooperation.

Believe me ... I'm not out to defend the likes of Hashim Thaci or any totalitarian Islamic despot or his militant followers.

I think, though, that oil, drugs and (thanks to its heretical errors and historical failure to abide by the more truthful precepts of Islam where human dignity is concerned) the almost effortless co-opting of Islam into a world revolution chaos-making machine is the true reason for the turmoil.

For all the talk of Islam's historical incursions and the horrific display of demonic brutality on the 11th, most of the brunt in carnage, destruction and suffering is too concentrated on the perps themselves to consider them waging any sort of successful action.

Hopeless, ignorant and angry inner-city blacks wreak a lot of havoc when they riot, loot and burn down their own neighborhoods. We don't exactly consider them a tenable threat to destroying gated communities the burbs in likewise fashion as a result.
