Also note that the term “useful idiot” was never used by Lenin (see google-link), nor did he ever comment on islam, I may think. So quoting Lenin on this is not very useful.

Anyway, what’s disturbing in your article is the mixture of uncertain quotes, uncertain facts leading to an uncertain theory : in short “demagogy”.
You cannot imply that G. Bush, The Wall street Journal, and the New York Times Magazine are in favour of fundamentalist islam. That would be ridicolous, yet you do so.

There is a lot to say about islam, islam fundamentalism etc.. it is necessary that we will get a clear picture of what’s going on and where we want to go to. (so that terrorism can be banned and destroyed.) But your article does not help in this : it merely prevents any discussion for fear of being categorised as a “useful idiot”.
We need a broad discussion and a scientific approach on these matters.
