[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] I think the key here is Muslim politics vs. Muslim ideology. Despite the claims of the Islamic establishment, they are not one and the same. I took a class that spent an entire semester studying Islam about two years ago, and so I know a bit more than the average American about this religion. (Or so I'd like to think, anyway. I don't claim to be an expert.) I believe that the majority of "common" Muslims are not of the sort that are widely publicized these days; however, I'm starting to think that the majority of the Muslim leadership IS of the violent stereotype that pervades these days. It's sad, really, that such extremists ended up taking over that Malaysia conference. I hadn't heard of anything like that happening before today. It's all the more evidence that most of the Islamic leadership is corrupt and willing to support violence. The idea that the Muslim world is collapsing is an interesting one. Although the upheaval and violence that would undoubtedly ensue would certainly be a bad thing, I don't think that it would be worse than the upheaval and violence that is present today -- in the long run. The world can either allow the status quo to continue, or hope for change. [/QB][/QUOTE]
