You are pasting your Judeo-Christian ethics onto an Islamowacko. It doesn't stick.

I understand them reasonably well, but understanding does not imply agreement. If you can't (or won't) see them for what they really are, you have no hope to stop them.

It's a pragmatic and realistic document on these matters.
