Dear Dr Pipes,

Reader Abhay from India points out that any time Muslims achieve 30% markin a country's population, they start demanding a separate country. He also points out that in Islamic majority country's non-muslim cultures and people eventually become extinct. This is quite true. Another corollary to this observation is that Muslims thrive only in non-Islamic countries.

In Islamic nation violence and war take precedence over serious pursuits. Abhay asks what could be done to stop this. Perhaps the answer is that Islam could not be contained with a sword but it can be controlled with a pen. In this age of mass media every single form of Islamic hypocrisy should be highlighted and confronted. That is the only way the battle is going to be won.
