The West need not fear the resurgence of Islam

The Irish Republican Army did not have Vatican endorsement when it terrorized the Protestant population of Northern Ireland. Nor did the Unionists have the backing of the Anglican Church when they did the same to Northern Irish Catholics. Militant Jewish settlers do not represent Judaism, nor does the saffron-clad Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh represent mainstream Hinduism.
recent entrant into the field of Muslim-bashers is Herman Cain, the former Godfather's Pizza chief executive officer and current GOP presidential candidate. Appearing on Fox News Sunday recently, he defended the right of American communities to ban Islamic mosques. He contends that Muslims are trying to inject Islamic sharia law into the United States.

1. religion-based irrational political movements are to be feared everywhere.
They are currently one of the most serious threat to enlightened progressive society and are everywhere obstructing equal rights for all people and actively seeking to destroy democratic institutions, desiring to replace them with theocratic systems of government. The fact that these people hate each other as much as they hate secular society is their major weakness.
