"The enemy is the subset of Islamists who are totalitarian, anti-pluralistic, and anti-democratic. There is subtanstial minority of Islamists that are pluralistic democrats (including some in the Iranian opposition), who believe strongly that the Sharia should be interpreted in such a way as to allow for freedom of ideas, freedom of religion, democracy, and pluralism. And these people should be supported, and not lumped together with the totalitarian Islamists."

SHARIA WILL BE ABOLISHED.

It's like saying, we reform RAPE in a way not to touch personal freedoms. We reform SLAVERY not to touch personal freedoms.

Are you mad? those things are abominable and must be erased from the face of the planet. That and their supporters.

"The hundreds of millions of Islamists in the world can surely be turned to democratic ideals and pluralistic values, if they are exposed to the modes of interpreting the Koran that find democracy and pluralism in the Koran."

the koran states jews and christians are apes and pigs (something totally UNKNOWN to other religions) and the zombie robots have been trained on that for 1400 years.

How can you turn that?

"This, in the end, is a battle of ideas because as you noted you are dealing with over 1 Billion people and their sacred culture and identity - not simply an ideology."

just by the fact that you call a racist ideology "sacred culture" says it all about how distorted you see.

A racist, arab-supremacist "sacred culture" must be treated as cancer.
