Your comments are spot on Peter. The amazing thing is that whereas many many people can see it, our various governments either cannot or will not. Islam as you say cannot be wrong, and is beyond reproach. It is perfect according to it's adherents and apologists. Criticism in any form is not allowed, and is usually followed by death threats. So peaceful is Islam.

A famous irish comic, (Dave Allan) years ago lampooned Christianity, and we laughed at the ridiculous side of it. Cartoons of Mohammed provoked marches, threats, and violence, even in those countries that did not show them. As you say, the various sects are so busy fighting each other. If Islam is so perfect, why does Allah not show them the error of their ways? In Arabic of course.
