He admits they may liberalize in time, but he contends that their holy book and accompanying teachings (hadith) are even more bloody than the bible, outright commanding them to kill infidels and wage war on infidel nations. At any rate, he says Islam is at a point in its development comparable to that of Christianity during the Inquisition.

He believes it is of the utmost importance to keep WMDs out of the hands of Muslim extremists. This may, in fact, be true, which means the war on Iraq is even more unconcionable than I first believed. We wasted lives and resources on a nation that was not a threat and we are now in no position (morally or strategically) to stop the proliferation of WMDs in Muslim extremist nations. We cried, "Wolf!" and wasted countless lives on a boogie man that didn't exist. Am I now to believe the administration's posturing on Iran? What if they're telling the truth (for once) and Iran becomes a nuclear power?
