Yes, and also something is rotten in Academia...
It seems that not only does Islam consider any examination of Islam blasphemy, but our more liberally orientated seem to consider it secular heresy to examine what drives Islamic violence in a world dominated by Peaceful Muslims...
They are quick to decry "Christian violence" which is current, ongoing, just an extension of the Crusades (which were only a big thing to the West, in the Arabic World, it was a minor skirmish on the periphery of their world, which was at peace, the peace of homogeny enforced by the sword and the new religion and language) and even quicker to defend and define Islam as purely peaceful and non-violent and any violence done in its name is not true Islam. Anyone who claims that history repeats itself for a reason, and then outline that reason is the real problem; their fear "recruits" violence.
It is a fertile as the imaginations of Joseph Heller.
