I don't buy into the whole idea of a 'clash of civilizations'. Most wars, social conflict, etc. are inter-civilizational. Christians fight other Christians over doctrine, political power, economic interests. Muslims fight other Muslims for similar reasons. The two primary Communist countries, the USSR and China, loathed and feared each other for years (each calling the other 'fascist'). Look at the 'troubles' in N. Ireland for fuck's sake.

The disastrous Iraq war and the ongoing Afghanistan fiasco are exceptions, but both are WARS OF CHOICE embarked upon by phony 'Labour' goverments in Europe and coporate-controlled 'democratic' (or 'republican') governments in North America.

My solution to the Muslim problem is to leave the Muslims alone.
