Re: "The Fall of Capitalism and the Rise of Islam" conference in Chicago
Islamists are those who use religious texts and words for political agendas.
Political Islam is the threat not Islam in itself.
Lets not forget Islam has been in the west for decades, Muslims can be traced back in the west for hundreds of years. It is only in the last decade or so Political Islam has formed. Remove the political reasons for their existence and why they are there to begin with, remove them. That would include Arab Israeli conflict, Iraq, Afghanistan.
Then ofc comes the discontent with the dictators, the lack of trust with the west and fear of imperialism etc.
Laila, I was one of the first posters here to recognize your Islamic beauty but your golden attitude and temperament would not be able to contain nor control the Islamist. The Islamist who believes in only Islam as the highest religion.
