I found the readings interesting, while the efficacy of polls and statistics can be questioned, discounting for bias, studying Muslims is probably the best way to learn about Muslims? Perhaps plumbers have some profound insights on Islam's views on the west, but while possibly neutral how credible is their experience. It doesn't seem all of these writers are Muslim.

Lysenkoism can cut both ways. At the end of the day all these debates on Islam and the West boil down to three choices.

1) We kill every Muslim
2) Muslims kill every non Muslim
3) Evolution, education, and co-existence

While there are certainly Islamic terrorists who simply need to be killed, on the whole choice three seems most logical to me...
