The problem, Gryphon, is according to the Koran, the foundation of their religion and their very culture itself, the 'Church' and State are inseparable. It's the nature of the beast. The only solution I see is to eradicate Islam or isolate it. Eradicating it cannot be accomplished without global bloodletting. Such cultures die slowly if at all. Look how long the Dark Ages lasted in Europe and the Mediterranean. People, like the neocons, who believe engagement will engender change are only fooling themselves and putting the rest of us at risk, imho. |
