#2 To ask Islam to become moderate, to reform, to become a peaceful religion of personal conscience is the precise equivalent of asking Catholics to abolish Mass.

I'd phrase it a little differently. It would be the same thingas asking Christians to abolish the Atonement of Christ, or asking Jews to give up Yom Kippur.

#3 I was amused at Spengler's postscript:

Regarding Benedict XVI's statement that the characterization of the Prophet Mohammed did not reflect his "personal opinion": In 1938, at the peak of Stalin's terror, a Muscovite called the KGB to report that his [talking] parrot had escaped. The KGB officer said, "Why are you calling us?" The Muscovite averred, "I want to state for the record that I do not share the parrot's political opinions."
