I am reading this article some time after it was written. Most every item seems to have been "vindicated" by subsequent events...including the rise of ISIS.

Personally, the only solution to our problems with ISLAM that I can see forthcoming is the abandonment of ISLAM entirely by all Arabic and other adherents to this religion. Whatever Islam was in the beginning (the Prophet's(Pbuh) time) it changed drastically during the time of Umar the Conqueror....into a massive and very effective political brain-washing weapon very well suited to the ancient tribal ways in the Middle East.

Today, ISLAM seems to be a collusion of tribal leaders and unscrupulous "clerics" (scholars included) that has developed a very effective brain washing system with which to capture the minds of every new generation. It seems to be just as effective in the case of "newcomers" who continue to join ISLAM from around the world. Once captured by ISLAM these newcomers seem very capable of committing the very same acts of violent JIHAD. So..I am advising all Peoples on Our Planet Earth to abandon the ISLAMIC RELIGION forever. I see no other solution to this world wide problem. "Religious tolerance" seems nothing more than an invitation for dedicated ISLAM to continue its efforts to dominate our Planet Earth.

Always, Nelson Horton
