"It makes no sense to differentiate between Islam and Islamism. One, sympathetically, probably tries to say that Islam is a normal religion, but the point is that Islam by its nature is a political movement, and that the religious dimension is cosmetic."

“It was my father who wanted me and my sister to attend school, and my mother who warned him: If they attend school and start to learn, they will change – they will leave our traditions, she said. And she was right. In order to keep Shariah in place in Muslim families, one must not send the girls to school... But we are increasingly seeing a development, in the Islamic world as well as in the West, where more and more girls are getting educated – and thus it becomes increasingly difficult for the men to keep them ignorant.”

Buzz of the Orient

In response to her question as to why more people in the west have not come to assist those who wish to leave the life of ignorant adhesion to the doctrine, I see the problem as political correctness. The west fails to comprehend that polictical correctness is not just a double edged sword, it is a double pointed one, a tool that is destined to destroy its user.
