You say...

""Which means we can fall prey to fighting it, or empowering the moderate and modernist elements of their societies to dominate with compatible rule of law and mutual respect and tolerance.""

I say...

what moderate and modernist elements are you talking about....this is the year 2004......helllllloooooooo...

if they had anyone with half a brain and a little compassion don't you think they might have surfaced by now....

they are hopelessly entrapped in their own archaic, demented ideology of radical Islamic belief.....

if they are so convinced that 70 virgins and Allah is their way out or their ultimate reward...never mind I am not going to finish that sentence.

if the last 10 or 11 years haven't told you something about their mentality and mindset......

lets see what they do with these Japanese and Korean hostages they have taken.....

regards

I think we have to fight it. The moderate modernists, where ever the hell they are, are not notably covering themselves in glory on any forum, pulpit, or stage.
