I've read his book...

"What's so Great about America"; the first chapter is absolutely marvelous and full of truth, but his ultimate solution to the Islamic threat is to "liberalize" Muslims. This will work for a time on those who have some respect for life but it is only a short term solution as it is only a few leaders at the top of the theocracy who will not be liberalized.

As far as his comment stating that "bulldozing homes, etc." is state funded terrorism, I'm looking forward to reading the whole book and taking it in context. It might be that he is merely pointing out that it is only percieved as terrorism by those who like to project their own behavior onto others.
