There are some world views that are so violently opposed to each other they simply can’t co-exist.

Yet, historical facts contradict this dictum. Jews and Christians have existed and thrived in Islamic lands for a millenium. How do you square that reality with the one you are propagating?

It is deport, or be deported—or beheaded. That may be troubling to you, but I suspect cowardice is at work. That’s okay. We’re all a little afraid, but I don’t want my daughters to have to undergo female circumcision and head to toe veiling. Do you?

A little afraid? Your fear is so consuming that you allow it to transform your the virtues you wish to protect into the very vices that you condemn. Cowardice can be defined as the unwillingness to face facts. Your argument has too many holes in it to resemble anything like courage. The hyperbole about circumcision issues from a terrified mind.

Non Muslims "thriving" in Muslim countries is a term only Al J. Television would use. The westerners who live in Saudi Arabia and who can't openly worship Christ--out of curiosity, would you call that "thriving?" The Sudanese Christian girls who have been raped by Muslim rape squads--would you call that "thriving?" The American soldiers who have been killed by radical MUSLIM IEDS--would you call that "thriving?"
