She completely glosses over how we established freedom in Japan

No she doesn't. Perhaps you skipped over this part of her article:

In Japan, those two pieces of chocolate were somehow a gift, a refund for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But Japan had already started its march towards progress and did not belong to the world that in my book I call “the mountain”. A mountain that for 1,400 years has not moved or changed, has not emerged from the abyss of its blindness. In other words, Islam

She points out is that Japan was not part of that unmoveable "mountain" that is Islam. So they had the possiblity to change, and they did.

It is naive to think that 1400 years of an oppressive, intolerant religious tradition called Islam will be changed over night.

That's exactly what I'm talking about, this is a really intellectually empty argument. The Japanese were every bit as fanatic and bend on destruction as the Islamicist today, because the true cause of such fantaticism is a flaw in human nature. Our nature hasn't change, it's same enemy, not some new enemy. It can be defeated in the same way we defeated the other enemies.

I"t is naive to think that 1400 years of an oppressive, intolerant religious tradition called Islam will be changed over night."

I think I distinctively said it will not happen over night. But 1,400 years is meaningless. Since nobody actually lives 1,400 years. All it takes is one generation to change a culture.
