#1 Ahhh the religion of peace. Civilization as it was meant to be - before the invention of the wheel. In the long run, breding Islam into a majority is a recipe for a loser - if the people aren't educated, and the last thing Islamic clergy wants is an intelligent educated (and willful) population. This century will see the collapse of major islamic societies, bloodshed, uprisings and civil war among the faithful. As long as there's alternative sources of energy that we can obtain, we should grab a chair, make some popcorn and watch the action from afar

#2 Whoa - you opened the BIG Can O' Worms!

Stupid is as stupid does, springs to mind thinking about Izzoid "nations." They are certainly dependent upon at least 2.5 things:

1) Indoctrination from birth with no outside interference - can you say "maddassah"?

2) Keeping them in the dark and fed nothing but 'Slamic BS. Picture a Revival Tent show every Friday at noon prayers...

.5) Maintaining a crop of asshat Imams and Mullahs to reinforce the dogma (this one's too easy - instant power and status - so I didn't count it as much of a challenge)

Break the chain anywhere in there, and there are problems. I posted a thing once about Islam as a disease - long bitch, too - which gave a LOT of detail. Bottom line is that the Internet, bluejeans, TV, Wayfarers, movies, Lakers t-shirts - all vestiges of the Western "culture" can weaken the grip to a degree. Islam is totalitarian because it has to be. We can whup it's ass, if we really wanna. Just break the chain, baby, break the chain - oh, and profile the escapees wery wery cawfully!

Gitmo!

#4 I don't think the chain is so easy to break. To simplify the situation: Islamic leads to economic suffering which leads to resentment of others which leads to more Islam. It is a pretty strong chain.

#5 Any stable society has to have a large middle class--the kleptocrats in Islamic countries preclude that from happening. As long as there is an underclass with no hopes and aspirations, and the only form of dissent is Radical Islam--which the dictators have to leave alone--nothing will change in the Islamic countries
