I added "slow" to your "hit and miss." Seems to me that the lack of timeliness in this case is at least as big a problem as spottiness. (Re decentralized, I noted the decentralized nature of Islam in my original post on the subject. You responded by pointing out that Islam didn't have a pope, so it occurred to me that perhaps you had missed my earlier observation.)

Note from UK "Surely the faces of the people who were killed [in the July 7 London bombings] told their own story -- if this is such an unwelcoming, racist place to live, why do all races continue to flock here, as they do to evil, imperialist America? ... "This sort of Islamofascist hates multiculturalism. Just you try building a church in Saudi Arabia! ... And as for any idea of the races being equal ... it is the Muslim world that keeps slavery alive, and Muslim governments, as in Sudan, that see nothing whatsoever wrong with ethnic cleansing. Recently a Muslim columnist wrote sorrowfully of how in her culture a Muslim girl marrying a black man was the greatest shame that could fall upon a family. So much for equality under Islam. ... "To my eyes at least, 'live and let live' seems to be a concept they have a problem with; until they can grasp it ... the jury is still out on whether hardline Muslims can truly live happily in non-Muslim countries. ... "Or will they not be happy until every last country in the world is composed of veiled women, bearded men and dead infidels, of all creeds and colours?" --Julie Burchill, writing on "Why should we tolerate these Islamofascists who hate us all?"
