Huntington somehow gets away with the truth bomb: Islam and the West have been enemies for fourteen hundred years, and will continue to be for as long as both civilization exist.

The hard-on that Victorians had for Islam is hard to overstate now. Kipling considered Hindus to be blathering idiots and Islam to be a 'comprehensible civilization'

Turns out Kipling was either deluded or a sophist. Not terribly surprising. It is evidence that sophists like Islam inherently, not merely for convenience. Perhaps not unrelated to al-Ghazali's victory.

"Enemies" isn't the right word anymore, since Islam only exists because the West is merciful and/or lazy. If the Romans had nuclear bombs it would have been gone already.

you arguably don't need nukes either - just some good ol fashioned entry restrictions, and sanctions especially on leaders - or just install a dozen Mustafa Kemals and Shah Pehlavi with tanks.

That's the recipe for peaceful coexistence. I'm thinking more of the "Create a wasteland and call it peace," form of Roman peace.

Ah I see, the 'Carthage solution' so to speak.

It's the only kind of peace Muslims respect.
