I don't believe that it's the extremists that are the problem. It's the core of islam that is. They all need to reject it and become athiests, xtians, hindus.. whatever.

Read what he's saying:

Since 1980, the Muslim world has experienced an enormous growth of religious fanaticism and extremism the likes of which Islam has not experienced in its 1,400 years. This movement continues to grow because of the spread of Wahhabi Islam, a sect that used to number no more than one percent of all Muslims, but because of money and technology, has spread to more areas around the world.

Basically, he's saying extremism is becoming the core of Islam.

I hope he had body guards and CCW permit because that is one voice that will probably be silenced by his his less tolerant brothers.

"Since 1980, the Muslim world has experienced an enormous growth of religious fanaticism and extremism the likes of which Islam has not experienced in its 1,400 years."

My "Islam for Dummies" home teaching course tells me that fanaticism and extremism were the original design factors of Islam - plastered around a pastiche taken from other's doctrine and arab expansionism.

As far as I know the only lapse in that description was due to their utter inability to reach beyond the next sand dune in order to enforce it....today even the barbarians can drive a taxi or disarm a stewardess.

Ah, progress.
