>Rajiv . How many times we need to repeat this fact? When will the islamists understand that symmetry >is a useful concept?

That is precisely the point. Symmetry is not a useful concept for islamists. Islamists are waging an asummetrical warfare. Islamists know they no match for even for minor powers in the world militarily or culturally or finacially. So, as far as possible, Islamists use and abuse the priciples on which modern societies are based , like tolerance, legal methods, respect for law, freedom of expression, tolerance of religions. Equality before Law and so on.

All these things , Islamists use only in non-Muslim counytries to promote and forwad sharia. Within Muslim countries themselves such concepts are unknown. Islamists exist only as parasites on modern world
