But NOTE here as well that at the same time Islamic extremism will spread too like a wild fire. It will mostly affect the Islamic states and this is warned to us by Prophet. He said that you should beware of extremism as extremism has disrupted past Islamic nations.Meh, I'm not interested in your prophets opinions or warnings. I put more stock in you, personally. What do you think is the best way to deal with that extremism? Should anything be done at all, or can we expect it to peter out and die like christian extremism has in the west? Similarly, should we expect to see Islam homogenize with secular ideals as we've seen with Christianity?
Quote:The war against terrorism today is also a war to free Islamic civilization from the baleful actions of extremists and to give that area of the world a chance to experience liberty, for liberty is the only medium by which religion can truly flourish.I think that might be a tad naive. I was part of the war on terrorism, the cruel boot part. I assure you we freed no one, nor did we (those with functioning brain cells) expect to. Do you see Islam building a more robust respect for liberty -itself-, as it benefits from the liberty you assume a successful "War on Terror" will bring? Supposing, for a moment, that it does not - might an argument be made for letting the entire region implode under it's own steam while limiting our interference to assiduously protecting our interests and furthering our own goals (or, as I like to call it...business as usual)?
