There is Nothing BUT Radical Islam
Reader comment on item: Interview with Daniel Pipes

At the end of the first paragraph, Cyrill Vatomsky states "Do you see a possibility for some sort of realignment between the West and the Islam? I'm not talking radical Islam. Islam in general?

There IS nothing but radical Islam. There are the outspoken and openly hostile Muslims, and there are Muslims who are silent but are still covertly hostile (to all that is non-Islamic). To Muslims, there are only three "realignment" possibilities. Those are: that all non-Muslims either convert to Islam, or live under Dhimmi status and be subject to Sharia law, or die. And that is IT, in a nutshell (an appropriate container).
