afchic - I'm with you on this; Islam needs a reformation. Maybe after Iran nukes Tel Aviv and the remaining Israelis wipe out every ME Islamic population center they will have some motivation to achieve it. I don't see any other venue that might cause it. Even then it might not be enough; I don't think the IAF has the legs to do anything about Pakistan. Their madrasas alone are sufficient to re-infect the hard-line. (I wish the preceding comments were so wildly improbable that they could be quickly dismissed as paranoid fantasy; unfortunately the possibility must be acknowleged.)

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
