Islam is the problem,

no Islam is the answer. These Muhammedians were just doing what comes naturally to Muhammedians. Why do we continue to search and seek for so called "Moderates"? The ideology of Islam will always attract those with notions of being exceptional and entitled. The Islamic ideal lives in the heart of all Muslims. At times only a glimmer, but given the right "Set and setting" will become a white hot motivator. Islam gives these people what they need to justify violence in the name of some higher cause. The dielectic of the Islamic problem is not moderate vs violent , it is Islam vs no Islam.

What is the argument for the toleration and acceptance Islam. What does it bring to our society. I say nothing. What message, custom, behavior can we expect from these Muhammedians that enhances or improves our society, none. We have no law that says we must make room for Islam. As a anti American dogma, we should, by all means , reject it unless or until violence is clearly rejected, reformes are made, and proven. Ideological Islam should be rejected by academics,cultural elites and politicians.
