There is no use arguing with the islamists. The "war", if thre was one, is lost. The west has capitulated by condemning the cartoons rather than the riots.

Let us now just work to separate the world into muslim and non-muslim parts - minimal economic contacts only - on immigration or tourism - limited close family contacts only (perhaps in 3rd countries.) west does not like islamists and islamists don't like the west. At times the only answer is a divorce. It is never easy between two married people - perhaps it will be easier between civilizations that simply can not stand each other. Both sides would be best served to admit that even at their best behavior they are detested by the other side. There is no such things as moderate islam folks, wake up.
