Friedman uses the strongest possible language to castigate the radical Islamic terrorists and those Sunni Muslim leaders who refuse to condemn the outrages in Iraq and elsewhere.
A few years back, I read much of what Daniel Pipes had to say and heard him speak once. I agreed with him then and continue to believe that most Muslim leaders, particularly Sunnis, condone radical Islamic terrorists. It seems Friedman is now closed to Pipes' viewpoint thn previously.
Today's radical Islamic terrorists must be eradicated and the breeding grounds for future generations must be destroyed.
"Western leaders keep saying after every terrorist attack, 'This is not about Islam.' Sorry, but this is all about Islam. It is about a war within Islam between a jihadist-fascist minority engaged in crimes against humanity in the name of Islam, and a passive Sunni silent majority. Many of those Sunnis, I'm sure, are appalled by the violence against Iraqi civilians, but are too afraid, too morally leaderless or too quietly anti-Shiite to act.
As I said, a civilization that tolerates suicide-genocide will eventually be devoured by its extremists from within - and quarantined by its friends from abroad"
