Cell will be the tool that will change Islam

Dear Dr. Pipes,

What 1400 years of resistance could not do will be done by a fifty dollar cellphone. It is just a matter of time before a Muslim teenager (or even a Muslim wife) starts a revolt against Burqa using a short message. Time will decide which country gets the honor. But one will.

And then someone will tweet in Pushto that destroying the Bamiyan Buddhas was uncivilized and then someone will say in Persian, Urdu or Arabic that democracy is the worst form of government baring all others and that is true even in the Islamic jamhooriats and emirates. Then a never ending fire will start and the light will spread.
