zk – ‘least Islamic nation in the Middle East’? The one whose dictator thought it wise to add ‘allahu akbar’ to the flag? The one where Ayatollah Sistani has so much clout? Lebanon is 30% Christian, Turkey has a 70 year history of secular rule, and from many reports Iranians have grown disenchanted with their theocracy, so I think you’re overstating your argument there.

Most of the violent Islamic strife is one Muslim faction vs another. To the extent Muslim savagery turns inward, it turns away from us. Islamic aggression against the US has been growing for 30 years. How would you suggest stopping it?
