...terrorism in the trying periods of apartheid, slavery, colonialism and the civil-rights movement. It's time Western societies recognize an excuse when they see one; otherwise, the threatening boast of the mullahs-the forced Islamization of the West-will become a reality sooner than anyone can imagine.

If they do not, then self-destruction is inevitable. James Gogo Bonny, Nigeria Manji argued that the extremists' actions are fostered in part by Islamic teachings. Funny, I'm a Muslim, yet I haven't gone and blown myself up. In fact, neither have my relatives or my neighbors.
