Marsha,

One point of clarification, who are "these people"? Are you talking about the Governments of so-called Islamic republics, are you talking about the populations, or are we talking the sum total of 1 Billion Muslims throughout the world? This is not a rhetorical question, I truly am interested in understanding your perspective.
