Moderate Muslim, real or myth? Test: Accept Israel & Jews posted by Salim Mansur in Toronto Sun
I am in full agreement with Salim.
In my article America's Limited Options I wrote
"Nevertheless, I submit that such an effort as laid out by Rand Institute must be encouraged and supported with billions of dollars. But nothing short of a reformation of Islam will do. Islam must excise the odious (to the western mind at least) elements.
Secondly, it stands to reason that if the US is going to work actively to support the reformation of Islam, it must at the same time work to undermine contrary forces and influences. Laws must be passed which outlaws Islamists and the preaching of political Islam as subversive. Anyone or group advocating for political Islam must be imprisoned or deported . Political correctness shouldn't prevent honest criticism of the objectionable aspects of Islam. The exercise of free speech shouldn't be restricted if it is offensive.
