Obviously the mottos of west are in serious test nowadays.
It seems that most people have so fragile faith in what they keep repeating day-night and preaching for in the rest of world as freedom of speech,tolerance and democracy ....and the rest of the very boring theme.

People in west should accept the fact that Islam became undeniable reality that is using the man-made theory so called democracy. In case you betrayed your principle that you've accepted for your community then show the world how fake is your faith in what you are trying to preach for in the rest of the world by having a double standards when it comes to ISLAM in your countries.

You are required to either accept the fact that Schools are part of your so called civil community then accept the fact that Spreading Islam in schools is no difference than spreading any other kind of different thoughts out there ..like homosexuality for example ..OR you will find yourselfves forced to disbelieve in the pretended democracy just like french who established rules to forbid Muslims from wearing a piece of scarf !

Worse than that you might find yourselves forced to increase censorship in your jails just because Islam is spreading so fast out there ......who knows maybe Mr.Pipes would comes with a thought to move all U.S jails to Gitmo as very conservative step in war on "SPREAD OF ISLAM IN THE HEART OF AMERICANS"

The matter of fact is this gives a great sign that your problem isn't with so called terrorism or violence ...but in real your main problem is with your weak Principle that you all feel it's threatened by merely a peaceful Islamic activity like this.

Finally i'd say you should not fool your selves when you imagine you can do just the same thing you've done with communisim which was another Man-made fragile principle as yours with Islam because Islam is a doctrine much older than your democracy that will fade sooner or later.so Never Re-try the cold war and you better spend your Billions on poors in your community .

Peace for all .
