I think Islam is more like a political system than a religion.  It walks, talks and quacks like one.  It's kinda like the Catholic church during the Inquisition.  It's a political system applied, controlled and enforced by the Church.

 

I do feel Islam is headed for a clash with Western civilization.  I would like to think we could all be better for it.  I do see positives.  Jacksonville has a fairly large Middle Eastern faction that has been here a long time.  Mr. Khan's influence here has been nothing but positive.  I do worry that too great an influx of one culture into another will lead to violence.  It usually does.
