A good piece Franc.
You might have got a bit more specific about divisions in Islam for example between Sunni and Shia. These are deep and while people like Yasser al-Habib talk a good show about tolerance and reasonableness, nonetheless each year he presides and promotes a celebration that is bound to inflame the most tolerant and liberal Sunni and provoke them to anger.
You also alluded to the Salafis vs Christians but people do not seem to know that they are not a monolith and are generally subdivided roughly like this:
1) Neo-Salafi/Madkhali/Jami/Murji'ia Salafis: their shaikhs are Rabee MAdkhali, Shaikh Al-Jami, Shaikh Ali Halabi Al-Athari
2) Salafiyya Mashyakhiyya: Ibn Baz, Ibn Uthaymeen, Albani, Muqbil Wad'iee
3) Salafiyya Ilmiya: Abdul RAhman Abdul Khaliq, the Ansarul Sunnah movement
4) Ikhwani Salafis: Abdul Majeed Zandani, Omar Al-Ashqar
5) Suroori/ Sahwa Salafis: Safar Hawali, Salman Oadah
6) Salafi Jihadi: Osama bin Laden & Al-Qaeda
It is the radical Salafis generally that pose the biggest problems because they are radical "traditionalists" that have invented and adhere to traditions that never existed, have no respect for any of the other branches of Islam and are fueled by hate.
Generally you are correct though, that it is the radical areas of Islam that the Liberal West seeks out and promotes. I have a idea that this is deliberate and they see a way to either/and/or profit from it or promote it as part of their agenda.
Something like immigration, replace the prole population that will not adopt the agenda of the progressives with one that they think it will, and another group goes along with it because they see cheap labour, and in the case of Feminism they can double their workforce for roughly the same cost.
I would say more but I g2g. Have to catch a ferry.
P.S. I do not usually bait anyone. If anything more often than not I avoid saying what I think, because what little I do say, quite often inflames.
