The danger is real. In my view the best response (on short run) is a rethinking of the current (postmodernist) version of 'political correctness' which to prevent the abuse of the system by tolerated (at the moment) radical ideologies. We have to simply say the truth: not all systems of values (in this case religions) are on equal foot; unfortunately islam (as it stands today) is a danger for the entire humankind. '(True) islam is a religion of peace' is a myth (the islam of the last 1400 years is far from being moderate): politicians, western scholars and so on must say the truth openly instead of appeasing islam in the vain hope that some mysterious muslim 'moderates' (hard to find at the moment, the vast majority of those called 'moderate' by the islamic apologists being in fact not so moderate) will succeed to 'tame' islam in accordance with modern values. I'm not arguing that muslim immigration has to be stopped or islam interdicted (which is discriminatory in my view) but those who come must be exposed to a healthy dose of criticism of islam instead of being encouraged to make more and more demands (sharia law should not be allowed to parallel the country laws by the way); this (and not sugarcoating islam) is the only way to create a sizeable number of muslim moderates* (capable also to really integrate in the western society). *http://muslimsagainstsharia.blogspot.... http://www.islam-watch.org/NoSharia/P...
