#1 Muslims support Islamization, and back one time democratic elections to that end. The only secular powers in the Muslim countries are the military and quasi-military regimes. And they are declining.

Muslims define "liberty" only as that which is not prohibited under sharia. Freedom of conscience, expression and association are anathema to a Muslim.

#2 It's not that we in the west "disrespect" Islam, it's that we are judging Muslims by their behavior.

The same situation occurs when Blacks are judged by behavior such as Rev. Wright's rants.

#4 I'll bet the problem is that wherever Muslims go, they bring their baggage with them, including their 5% (or whatever) radicals. These are the problem, and they will always be there unopposed because it's built into the Holy Krayon's DNA to at least tacitly support if not accept their radicalism.

#5 If the muzzies can't make democracy work in Iraq, they're going to have to face a very stark choice.

#6 The overwhelming majority of Muslims strongly feels that the West disrespects both Islam and Muslims

I do not disrespect both Islam and Muslims. I think Islam and Muslims are morally and philosophically retarded. So, contempt is probably a better word than disrespect.

#7 When the same question was put to Americans, they could find nothing about Islam that they admired.

#10 I've got a feeling our view of democracy and their view of democracy are two totally different things.

#11 The primitive view of democracy: I finally get to be top dog after suffering at your hands for so long... with a Sharia gloss to give Allah's sanction to the whole thing. Oh, and we'll all instantly be as rich as Americans (completely missing the need to work both hard and smart -- and the fact that I, myself, am not rich only proves the point).
