The idea that the West can somehow produce its own moderate brand of Islam or will be rescued by tiny groups of doctrinally moderate Muslims should be dropped.
I fully agree. Understanding Islam in its entirety, and building effective counter measures to marginalize the Islamic fundamentalists from gaining power, is the only coherent strategy to follow. Resting one’s entire foreign policy vis-a-vis the ME upon either ‘moderates’ coming to power, or fundamentalists who are seeking, and/or already in power, being moderated through Western appeasement, is a fools game.
