This notion that Islam can't live alongside or within the rest of the world is hooey, and it's not supported by history.
The problems with Islam we have today, and we do have some very serious problems with a small percentage of Muslims, is geopolitical in nature rather than religious. There is a relationship for sure, but the root cause is not religion.
Perhaps the single worst mistake you and I could make is to blame Islam for these issues as it only pushes more moderates to the violent fringe.
The only idiological war we should be waging against rogue Muslim nations is economic...for that is the real religion that binds all nations for the coming future.
