Charles Krauthammer says the question of whether Islam is a violent religion is meaningless.
The real issue is not the essence of an abstraction—who can say what is the real Christianity or the real Judaism?—but the actions of actual Muslims in the world today. And there is no denying the fact, stated most boldly by Samuel Huntington, author of “The Clash of Civilizations?” that “Islam has bloody borders.”
From Nigeria to Sudan to Pakistan to Indonesia to the Philippines, some of the worst, most hate-driven violence in the world today is perpetrated by Muslims and in the name of Islam.
