And the one thing the West has learned in dealing with Islam for hundreds of years is that you must deal with them using your own sharpened sword; it is, at root, all they really understand.
Unfortunately our modern leaders do know know and understand the West’s history with Islam.
From your article which I’ve saved in my favorite bar:
“To believe in Islam is to believe in the Islamist politician. The outcome is not a government of laws, but a system of faith, not faith in any divinity, but in the power of Mohammed and his political descendants.”
I now see for real why the Salafists interfered with the protesters in Cairo today. The non-Islamists were questioning their Islamist politician.
Jefferson, Churchill, GK Chesterton... knew them because they read their literature. The translated Koran we get here is cleaned up but there are some around which are translated word for word.
