Hi,

OK, so you're really asking:

"Are people in several governments right in saying that the spread of radical Islam is a threat to all liberal democracies?"

Well, on the one hand is the point of view that, like anything else, democracy that is not defended will eventually be lost. On the other hand is the viewpoint that, as democracy is a freedom, by its very nature it can't be enforced, regardless of the tools or arms used to do so.

How these two can be conciliated, I don't know. I would note, however, that when I grew up, there was a dictatorial system said to aim for world conquest for a belief that was for the good of the people. Approximately one in every five people still lives under such dictatorships today, yet it's been a long time since I heard about an aim for world-communism. Would other dictatorial systems fare differently?

Bye
