This woman talks a lot of sense.
Who are the ‘Easter worshippers’ that the leftwing liberals talk about?
Daniel Pipes is a hater.
She has nothing to say.. She is about 50 years out of date.

"I think what we're really dealing with are variant forms of malignant nationalism. Much of it may have been initially well-intentioned, as a vehicle for opposing Western colonialism and imperialism, although it seems as if a monster has been created in the process."
You are correct.. Even now the Muslim Brotherhood is opposed to reforms in KSA..
Brings us back to Khashoggi again and the Muslim brotherhood. They don’t want any of these reforms. They don’t want any Western influences in any Islamic country, much less Saudi Arabia where Mecca and Medina are.
They do not want Wahhabism watered down. They want the Arab spring.
They don’t want secularism anywhere and Mohammad bin Salman represents a bit of that.
Wise advice, thanks, but I believe that I'm past that point.
I carefully research the topics I talk about and try to see opposite points of view to evaluate the results.
It seems to me very obvious that Islam is a problem.
I don't care much about religion.
I'm not against any religion, don't get me wrong.
I even believe religious people (Christians mainly because I grew up among them) are good people. They seem to be genuinely loving people.
I cannot speak much about other religions on a personal level because I don't make many friends that are not Christians or Atheists. Not my choice, it just happens that way.
Like many people, I have spent many hours researching on Islam after 9/11 happened.
I live in New York City so that was very close to me.
My research findings tell me Islam is a very dangerous religion.
The closer Islam gets to you the more dangerous it gets.
That seems to be a fact.
I know that Muslims are going to ask me to prove it from the scriptures and that is a ridiculous request.
Yes.There are 52 or 53 Muslim countries in the world and I can assure you that any of them has some sort of religious tension, wars or religious related violence in them.
I can quickly come up with links to prove it.
Most of the world is still Christian majority and today you rarely will find religion related violence in them.
The question is why?
Is there any hope that this pattern is going to change?
Sure, but I do not expect Islaam to survive it as still recognizably Islaam.Is there some kind of Islamic reform possible?
Not really.Is war against Islam inevitable?

If you carefully researched the topics then you need to justify the conclusions that you are making here. I am more than happy to listen. Once we are satisfied as to the nature of the problem, we can go onto questions of reform.I don't care much about religion.

Has there been a change for the better in the last 50 years?
Sri Lanka bombing: reports from Open Doors teams
I disagree. A religion would fulfill requirements that Islaam does not.
Yes, it is indeed.
Yes.
Sure, but I do not expect Islaam to survive it as still recognizably Islaam.
Not really.
Neither WWI nor WWII were 'religious wars.'It wasn't too long ago when the world was immersed in WWI closely followed WWII. It was mostly the Christian countries that took up arms against each other fighting for God, King and country. WWII is probably the most destructive war on record. Six million Jews were put to death alongside other minorities as a result of a country whose population consisted of nearly 95% Christians.
I know very little of Islam, but how much does one need to know? I though the video in notanumber's link seemed realistic. link to that postYou don't know anything about Islam so you are easily duped.

I haven’t watched all of this yet, but I can’t argue with anything that I have seen so far.
Extremism among disaffected people is the problem, not Islam.I don't care much about religion.

The hate mongers may as well sign up for recruiting terrorists..
Obviously not.. You can't know anything if you learned about Islam on the internet.
There is always that constant threat of terror with Islam.
Extremism among disaffected people is the problem, not Islam.
That's absolute nonsense.
David Horowitz grew up a "red diaper baby" in a communist community in Sunnyside, Queens. He studied literature at Columbia, taking classes from Lionel Trilling, and became a "new leftist" during the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956.
And you can't learn anything of statistical meaning by talking to a handful of Muslims. So how do you recommend a person learn about Islam?
(By which I mean to say that your claim above seems clearly wrong to me.)
