> Do you really think it is useful for the US to conduct foreign policy under the assumption that Islam is "satanic"? U.S is in war with a bunch of psychopaths who can not be deterred and can not be reasoned with. Understanding Islam "As IS" without being politically correct and without trying to put a positive spin on its teachings to make it look more acceptable by the mainstream western world, in my view is wrong. One has to understand the mind set and the psychic of the very same people it is at war with - otherwise one will simply be ignorant of the realities of the world. And the mind and the psychic of the people U.S (and the rest of the civilized world) is at war with does not understand Islam (using the interpretation provided by scholars in the Western world). It does understand Islam and interprets Islam as is and as promoted by Koran to the last letter based on the very cultural framework where Islam was origniated from - and not the Islam that is interpreted by some Proffessor sitting at Harvard University, enjoying a free-thinking society such as the U.S. Regards,
