Corporations are easily intimidated by fear. Just as the cartoons were not published because of the fear of reprisals. The risk assessment of harm to property and people by Islamic enablers justifies capitulation. The Islamic enablers are the benficiaries of 9/11. Terrorism works. It worked for Hitler, Stalin, and their enablers and supporters, and it works for the Islamic enablers. Whether it is CAIR, or the Mullahs, or the suicide bombers, or the local imam, all are enablers of Islamic enthusiasts.
Philosophical, benign, contemplative, or speculative Islam seems not to exist, or if it does it has been rendered irrelevent by those who embrace violence. Western culture in the form of Freemasonry, vis-a-vis the Shriners, the Catholic Church, and Protestant christian churches, have reached out to integrate or at least include Muslims, but to no avail. In fact, all outreach has hardened the Muslims and only alienated them and increased hostility toward the non Muslims.
This is the dogma and canon of the faith of Muhammed. Some so called Christian theologians even advance the notion of calling the Christian God "Allah" as an act of contrition to placate the Moslems. This will destroy the composite of Christianity while serving only to further enable the Islamic enthusiasts. So long as Islam exists, there will be no peace. All of our elites know this to be true, yet will deny it to place the Moslems while trying to find some solution that does not involve killing millions of people.
