When your faith is so weak, the only way to preserve it is to destroy anything that makes you realize just how weak your faith is. That's what this is about.

That is correct. The Islamics like to harken back to when they had great thinkers and scientists. But, they don't remember or fail to remember that when these great thinkers became somewhat enlightened and began to think out of the Islamic 'box', they killed them.

That is why there really is no progressive thinkers in that part of the world, today.

You have nailed it! Islamism is about weak faith being bolstered with blood and hate (typical for demonic influence upon the souls of men). The filthy rich Saudi's are the greatest study in paradox I have ever seen; the Moslem faithful seem to have split vision, and little if any grasp of reality.
