"Modern" (eg. fundamentalist) Islam is the invention of the
judaeo-chistian West.

What the West has actually and regularly fought is every vaguely
secular, vaguely socialist, vaguely revolutionary movement or
government in the muslim world, be it composed by things so diverse as
Nasserism, the Lybian Jamahirya, Al Fatah, the Baath parties, the
Pahlavi party, the Somali Supreme Revolutionary Council, the Afghan
People Democratic Party, the Algerian FLN, the Kemalian revolution,
the Yugoslavian federation, etc.

What is the product of such policy? Democratically-sanctioned rule of
Hamas in the Gaza stripes, Muslim Brothers everywhere, Talibans,
Hezbollah, Somali Islamic Courts, the UCK mafia in Kosovo, and yes,
pro-West puppet governments which in anything "religious" (say, women
status, criminal law) are at least equal, and usually much worse, than
their predecessors.

And, sure, some of such apt pupils bite from time to time the hand
having fed them sofar, and still feeding them in so many
circumstances.

But it is clearly a quarrel amongst monotheistic cousins, where all
parties are just trying to be holier and more radical than thou and
have the utmost respect for the respective faiths...
