I agree witha LOT that the second piece discusses, except where the author gets a touch mental and rants about US children being taught the Koran and the "call to prayer" being poured out of loudspeakers at City Halls...

He also seems to get on a roll about fundamentalism and is trying to paint Islam with a broad brush, which is no better than Muslims painting all Westerners as Infidels and zionists to the extent that it cripples any intellectual understanding they could reach with our culture.
