Ultimately I think that there is only one force that can restrain militant Islam -- feminism. It's certainly a low probability, but our only chance is for rot from within to prevail. There can be no external pressure which is as strong as co-opting at least some material portion of the 500 million women living under the repression of Islam. The other side must know this too. Look at all the rage/effort to prevent female education in Afghanistan. |
