Well I think the problem with Islam is what we make of it. Islamic culture is in many things vastly different from ours, and it belongs in another time and most of all in another place, and we see our inability to give it a place here in the west as some collective faillure of our own. We say we respect it, but we really think it's all bull and that they will all gladly welcome the great enlightment, but they don't, they actually believe all that, and a good nose needs only half a fart. Too much respect for what is different, just because it is different. Just keep a respectable distance, and we will all be just fine.
edit: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh another fine example of major overdhimmification, and the rigid self-enforced respect for those that don't have it, the tsunami of cultural undertanding to wash out just a tiny little wee fire; a school in Amsterdam no longer teaches about farms because the little rascalls go a little bit jihad because they grow pigs there. I say more commisions, bring in the socioloco's to map out this truly fascinating development.
