A very interesting piece on Islam in the 21st century...
"People have been murdered over cartoons! End of moral analysis!"
"We use words like extremist and extremism. What do these words mean? Extremism generally suggests that an expression of a certain set ideas has become an exaggeration or distortion of those ideas. But when we're talking about Muslim extremists, have they really exaggerated or distorted the core teaching of Islam? No, Muslim extremists are motivated by the most literal and straight forward and comprehensive resort to the ideas expressed in the Quran and Hadith. What is ISIS doing that Mohammed didn't do, or didn't abdocate somewhere in scripture?"
