“The truth is that Western civilization is rotten through and through and only continues because of the absence of its rightful heirs, namely the Muslims, who have themselves forgotten their deen [religion] and failed to take their divinely appointed task of re-establishing Allah’s guidance for the whole of mankind.” — Muhammad al-Ghazali, Journey Through the Qur’an: The Content and Context of the Suras, Dar al-Taqwa, 1998, p. 47.”
Who was Muhammad al-Ghazali? Why, he was one of those scholars who was working “so hard to bring Islam into the contemporary world.” So says the celebrated Islamic reformist Khaleel Mohammed of San Diego State University:
“I find it difficult that Mr. Spencer should seek to devalue the work of those who work so hard to bring Islam into the contemporary world….But even so, the scholars who share the opinion that I have on the issues that I raised are many — amongst them Fazlur Rahman, Muhammad al-Ghazali, Taha al-Alwani. I guess they are not authorities and need to be vetted by Mr. Spencer and his ilk?” — Khaleel Mohammed, “Spencer’s Errors,” FrontPageMag.com, May 10, 2005.
Oh, no, Dr. Mohammed. Muhammad al-Ghazali doesn’t need to be vetted by me. You go right on citing him as a reformist, and I will go right on quoting him.” target=”_blank”
Once again a “moderate” Muslim is caught red handed defending Islamic purists who for the most part, believe in the very same kind of Islam that the “extemists” are spreading around the globe. Here’s a dilemma for those who refuse to link Islam with terrorism. ´
How can more Islam be the solution to the problem of terrorism that supposedly has nothing to do with Islam at all? KGS

Veeery good point.
Here’s a little tip for you, KGS59.
The DHS has issued a press release saying that Hezbollah could attack the USA. That’s the good news. The bad news is that DHS says this will come in repsonse to a “triggering event”. This is ridiculous
The Hezbollah attack on Argentina didn’t require a “triggering event”. While DHS has been chasing Al-Qeida, they have been giving HezUSA a free pass.
Just do a google search on the Google news page using “Hezbollah triggering event” to pick up the DHS press release comments.
Al Qeida is badly depleted. Plus, the US is well focused on Al Qeida. It’s Hezbollah that has been given a free pass and they are VERY dangerous.
Maybe you could write a column on this.
