ASSESSING ISLAM

From the article "Islam's Growth Requires New Thinking." The concluding paragraph:

"We are at war with an alien power with no regard for Western principles; an enemy that seeks nothing less than our submission or destruction. More than larger defense budgets or better intelligence, we must recover a public insistence on rigorous thought. Diplomatic wrangling and debating the minutiae of policy must give way to a candid reassessment of what Islam is, what it has done, and what it stands to do. It is these questions that we must take up if we are to have any serious hope of saving a West currently unaware of the full magnitude of what is as stake."

The author of the above commentary is Gregory Davis, producer of the documentary Islam: What the West Needs to Know, available on DVD. He is also the author of Religion of Peace?: Islam's War against the World. I haven't read the book, but I have seen the film and can recommend it.
