will the victory of anti Islamists have similar consequences for Muslims as Germans and Russians today

Daniel Pipes replies:

I say that anti-Nazi Germans and anti-Soviet Russians are the solution

I see your point and agree ,however re my previous comment channeling Goldman- a moderate Islam may well lead to the extinction of Islam. Much as the collapse of Nazi and Soviet power has sinister demographic implications for the host populations if the fertility rates of German and Russian women are any indication.

Indeed, ironically the self proclaimed Islamic theocracy may well be the most anti Islamic Muslim country.

Ahmadinejad had to resort to bribing Iranian women into having more children.

Iranian youth take as much ,if not more pride, in their pre Islamic past.

All these trends dont bode well for the future of Islam
