True. The real issue here is fear. That issue will not go away. From now on, Europeans will have to worry about offending Muslims for fear of potential violent reprisal. Desperate attempts to placate radical Islam will be the pattern of the future. Will they succeed? The attempt to downplay the role of violence in Islam is foolish and absurd; the only other option is facing reality - and that is too painful.
Many posts on this thread make comprisons between Islam and other religions or other ideologies in a desperate attempt to reassure themselves. Those comparisons are false, but they are expressions of fear: the reality is too frightening to contemplate.
