Conversion is the only way to restrict the growth

Dear Dr Pipes:

A person born in a certain land has no place to go other than that country. Muslims born in a country become inhabitants of that country. And there is no way out of that situation. The only solution out of the problems created by Islamists is to convert their minds and hearts. And that goal can be achieved only by first acknpwledging the problem at every occasion where it can be acknowledged. A time will come when Isamists will realize that defending every principle of Islam at all costs is more expensive than letting that principle be tested in the world for its virtues. And that will be the conversion that I am talking about.
