Hopefully people like Drima will be able to restore some sense of sanity to the Islamic world, but until that day comes, we in the west should meet intolerance with intolerance.
I cannot and will not deny the evidence. I look at Lebanon and the Balkans today and see enough to realize Islam should receive no benefit of any doubt in the West. When Mecca’s doors open as wide as the Vatican’s and a person is not thrown into a Saudi jail for carrying a Bible, we might be able to talk, But until then there is no point in engaging with Islamic hypocrisy, double standards, and taqiya. The ball is entirely in the Islamic ‘moderates’ court id such ‘moderates’ do exist. Until they make tangible reforms, the door is shut in my mind. It is not our burden in the West to understand them on our turf.
As Thomas Mann once said, “Tolerance Becomes a Crime When Applied to Evil ”
