I don't know who he is (or maybe I do but forgot), but I am most impressed by this comment left here yesterday by Ryan Gray. Thanks.

"If we want to defeat terrorist we need to “Westernize” Islam in the same way Christianity and Judaism were. The reason followers of Christianity and Judaism and not acting in the same way is that most ignore significant parts of the Bible that advocate and / or justify such violence (fine with me.) They pick the parts that are safe as bedtime stories for kids and tend to ignore what Moses did to the Midianites in the Book of Numbers. I think we need moderate Moslems (Moslems who ignore or downplay the significance of the parts of the Koran that justify violence against “Infidels.” We need them out there spreading their memes within Islamic society. Moslems thinking about killing innocents are far more likely to listen to a dose of reason from a fellow Moslem than from an Infidel. There will probably come a time when most Moslems are as casual about their religion as most Christians are about theirs. That time will not come however without people like Cat Stevens, Mohamed Ali and other moderate Moslems."
