PM: Militant Islam will be defeated by end of century

Ummm... That's 88 years from now. More or less.
[Ynet] Netanyahu addresses Presidential Conference, ponders whether Arabs, Mohammedans will be able to partake in global progress

Unable to attend Shimon Peres' Presidential Conference due to a leg injury, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the conference's closing panel via video conference on Thursday.

Among the other speakers were President Peres, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat and Jewish Agency chairman Natan Sharansky.

Discussing the "infinite possibilities of progress and technology," Netanyahu said that "Israel is number one in the world per capita in producing more conceptual products than any other nation -- by far more than any other nations."

"The real question in our time is: will the Arab peoples, will the Islamic world, will the Islamic-Arab world and the Islamic-Iranian world all be able to partake in this bounty of progress?," he said.

"I have no doubt that by the end of the century, myrmidon Islam will be defeated. I don't think you can cloister young minds.

"The question is: can we get the devices of freedom, that is these technological breakthroughs, literally in the hands of young Mohammedans and young Arabs. I think the answer is: yes. That will happen. "

The 2012 Presidential Conference lasted three days and addressed various issues relating to economics, technology, security and politics. In the conference's opening event, Peres bestowed veteran US diplomat and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger with the Presidential Award of Distinction.

#8 Ooooh, I'll bet Fred didn't think of the Jewish calendar when he commented in the article, any more than I did. That's a heartwarming thought, to be sure.

#10 Jewish or Gregorian, it doesn't matter. The religion is designed to twist its followers to be militarized at the whim of the mullahs. It will never happen because someone will position themselves to take advantage of the resources it offers. Nothing to see here, folks. Unless you count the display of naivete.
