A View to Islam

A blogger named, 'oceanguy', attended a lecture by Bernard Lewis and summarizes some of Lewis' thoughts about Islam, Islamdom and the War on Terror. On Wahabism (the main sect of Islam in Saudi Arabia):

[Benard] asked how these western diplomats would react if the KKK were given control over the state of Texas with all of it's Oil wealth, and then used that wealth and influence to open up schools all around the world preaching its peculiar version of Christianity. Somehow we have done something very similar in Arabia and have allowed this extremist sect to gain immensely disproportionate influence.

The blog entry is a decent summary of one view of the current state of affairs.
