So my point is let us not run down any form of Islam, Wahabbism or not.

Oh that's just BS Chinu.. That's like telling blacks not to run down the Aryan Nations because they have every right to be a religion.. (and they are).

Well, I'll tell you what Chinu.. If the Aryan Nations were in charge of Rome (or Washington DC) and they started espousing Whites to kill jews, or Arabs, you can BET YOUR @SS that the world wouldn't have any problem opposing them or their theology..

If I recall right, we two had exchanged our thoughts on why the non-radical Muslims not come out and speak up.

Damn straight.. 1.) they, being moderates, are not especially activist about being moderates..

The term "activist moderate" is an oxymoron.

2.) They are frightened and intimidated by the muslim militants who operate as a form of organized criminal organization.

Bottom line Chinu, Wahhabism is where this militancy is spawning from.. They Saudis have been funding it and spreading its doctrine throughout the world.

You might want to just ignore the racism and hatred that they are spreading around, but I will not...

To IGNORE, OR TOLERATE such systemic racism does not "help the process" either.

The last thing I'm trying to do is run down Arab societies. I want to empower them with economic success and political accountability. I want to see them freed from the repressive regimes that stifle their socio-economic progress and the acceptance of globalization.

You, on the other hand, seem hell bent on protecting these aberrant extremists and the regimes that harbor and support them.

Chinu you said...." We just have to give them some time. Running down Arab societies does not help the process."...

I disagree. Running down the radical muslim arab societies DOES help. IMO change in human evolution needs a reason to happen. And if you would start to pay the slightest bit of attention you would have noticed that arab societies are already reacting to this pressure from civilized societies.
