It's just the ones who want to wipe out me Sarman. The true believers. The fig-leaf wearers [probably about 70% of them] who wear it like an ornament and go along with the social context aren't a worry.

It's like Christians. 70% are just in it for the social context and have little theological insight. They don't really think they should do the biblical stonings and stuff. Turning the other cheek isn't more than a glib phrase. They took over the Colosseum and the Roman Empire having once been fed to the lions in it.

Now the Catholic church has greater reach than the Roman Empire could ever dream of.

Islamic megalomania has got the numbers, but not the money.

Christian philosophical foundations aren't to wipe out unbelievers, heretics etc, though they have done that at times, with enthusiastic burnings at the stake. "Christians" just do it DESPITE their beliefs. Moslems are gung ho to do it and are SUPPOSED to do it.

It's ironic really. The Christians get stuck in despite their theological positions. The Moslems don't get stuck in, even though they are supposed to.

Sure, some Moslems are gung ho for the heak-hacking, and some Christians are pacifists. But most of them don't really adopt their claimed philosophical foundations.

Moslems for the most part go about their business in a fairly civilized way.

The best way to handle them is to sell them CDMA. Once they are suffused with those wonderful phragmented photons they will experience peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, longevity, fun and love.

When they have seen the light, they will abandon their age-old MADness [mutual assured destruction] ideology and come into the 21st century.

Saudi Arabia even has a Globalstar gateway, though it has been closed down [which is a bad sign for peace for them].
