"the question among Muslim scholars and activists is precisely how
much of the terror inspired by Islam is due to the faith itself - and
how much is due to the way it is being preached."

Very good question. What if the answer is the faith itself?

It isn't. End of debate.

So IYO, is the terror inspired by Islam due to the way it is being
preached?


Can western civilization accept a faith whose fundamental core calls
for the elimination of the freedom and equality of religion western
civilization is based upon? I don't think it can.

Good thing that isn't the case.

Thank-you for another unjustified opinion.
