Without a doubt...

There is rampant theological ignorance in a country that prides itself on being enlightened. The reason for this ignorance is that a most inane kind of political correctness says that we are not to criticize religions. Islam has thrived because of third world primitive thinking. Islam cannot stand the scrutiny that would come from the educated and logical philosophers of the western world. Islamic peoples are devoid of the ability to scrutinize the self. They are so ignorant that they do not realize that their leaders are terrified of losing power over these most vulnerable of all the world's peoples. Islamists are non-thinkers, because it is not allowed. It therefore has not dawned upon them that Muhammad's word, as it comes through the Koran, the Hadith, and the Sunna, is wretchedly violent. It sanctions the killing of anyone who would leave the gigantic cult. It wants to destroy Judaism and Christianity by violent means, because it know that, in a war of words, its stupidity and inanity would be exposed.
