If you havent' already seen it, this is a counterpoint to that post:

Message 16910295

"As Mr. Lewis remarks, Islamic regimes perpetuate themselves by encouraging their people to play the blame game and point to outsiders, not the government, for their troubles. Meanwhile, the regimes cloak themselves in religion, avoiding criticism by claiming to represent Allah's infallible word.

The inescapable conclusion is that the Muslim world is a prisoner of its history. Islam is a religion that commands obedience, not understanding; that preaches conversion through force, not persuasion. One symptom of the problem is that the author of this thoughtful book on Islam is an elderly British gentleman. Until Muslims themselves are ready to ask and answer the question "What Went Wrong?" there is little prospect of putting things right."
