The modern Islamist logic is different

Dear Dr Pipes:

Any rhetorical call to Muslims to go back to Islamic states (even when they are immigrants of/by choice) is futile. Islamists' logic has now become more bold than ever before. Now the logic is that every non-Islamic nation is misguided and Islamists should work to bring them to the right path. So, if India, UK, USA, Israel or any country is secular, democratic, and pluralistic, Islamists instead of being thankful are righteous. They have God given right to bring Sharia to these nations. Have you ever seen a Muslim say that the religion is a private affair of man and must be followed in the privacy of a person's home and mind? Never. Under their doctrine, religion must be practiced on the street until 98% of the humanity follows it.
