"And islam will be defeated in the market place of ideas"

DNM: Thank you for the above sentence. Whether it is the defeat (or victory) of communism, or of Islamism, or of any other thought, it will be a true defeat (or victory) only if it happens in the market place of ideas. If a defeat/victory happens in a war fields of bombs or among chopped heads or among burned churches and temples, it is not a true defeat/victory. That is what the non-Islamic Jihad is all about!
