Will the Islamists kill Islam?

[abaris]

No, but violent Islamists can precipitate the same kind of reformation that muzzled the political power of Christianity, and hopefully will. I only wish I could be confident that the bloody part will be more brief than it was for Christianity.

The secret is always the same. Relative stability and chances at a desirable future for the youngsters. If whole generations grow up without any realistic chance for a life and a livelihood, the outcome is as expected. If you got nothing to lose, you're more likely to put your own life on the line.
