Is Islam the Enemy? #2

Topics: War on Terror

Because of the importance of my post on, "Is Islam the Enemy," Walter W. Cox has done a thorough job of editing it, for which I thank him, and I am reposting it. Nothing substantive has been changed, but it is worth reading again.

Building on the article by the Boroumand sisters, which I discussed in a previous blog, I would like to address a critical question, "In the context of our War on Terror, is Islam the enemy?"

First, I should reveal my own biases. I am not a Christian, a Buddhist, a Muslim or an adherent of any standard religion. I am not a Republican, a Democrat, a Libertarian, a liberal or a conservative. Fundamentally, I am a secular freedomist. My approach is like that of a hypothetical anthropologist from Mars who is trying to evaluate earthly matters without favoritism, a man from Mars who believes, based on empirical evidence, that the solution to many of humanity's problems is democratic freedom.

By "enemy," then, I mean anyone who is in violent opposition to such democratic freedom. So the question becomes, "Is Islam the enemy of democratic freedom?"
