Then you have missed all of my many posts criticising Islam. IMO Douglas Murray, Maajid Nawaz, Sam Harris and Ayan Hirsi Ali are the voices of reason among a flood of wilfully blind regressive liberal commentators.
My OP is an observation that there are some rational muslims who have adopted western values about freedom and democracy and that they should be respected and encouraged.
Ok sorry I have not read all your posts. Yup you phrased it right "willfully ignorant." But a few, very small number have been westernized. I do know a Muslim who I didn't know was Muslim until recently and she is very secular. I think she is more about the family traditions than the doctrine. There is hope some will wake up but there are so many of them and growing everyday. I see nothing but more radicalization and terror as they increase their presence in western nations. Even if a few step up and be brave against their cult, the majority will not.
