The author's reasoning is superb. The questions asked have gone unanswered. Especially the final question. I have had a couple of responses, but none of them even trouble to answer/rebut the that question. The reason seems to be glaringly obvious. They do not answer the questions because they cannot. World Islam is the goal, and this it seems they can/will not deny.

All the talk of peace and harmony, does not alter the facts, that Muslims have/are/and will continue to strive for Global Islam. The method used to be through naked force. Now it is through terrorism. The message is simple enough. Become a Muslim or we will kill you. Even those who do not comit violent/terror acts themselves appear to be most reluctant to 'shop' the so called radical element. Indeed they find excuses. Bin liner did not mastermind 9/11. he is misunderstood etc etc. No doubt he is kind to children and dogs. It is forbidden to kill someone who is innocent, but then again, in his/their pantechnicon, no one is innocent. We are all fair targets; how exactly?

If the vast majority of Muslims are against such actions, then let them come forward. Infiltrate the terror cells, and destroy them. Sadly, they do not seem to grasp that solution. Their answer appears as the article says to be totally flexible, and the Koran can mean whatever they want it to mean. One, seemingly trivial example, but indicative of the thought processes. I once asked a corner shop Muslim how he could justify selling alcohol. His reply was that he could'nt. several years later, he is still selling alcohol.
