38. [6x-Islam-Mohammed-PP-Slides- LB.PPT]38 SELECTED QUOTES (b) “The stark and simple fact is, the fundamentalists hate Americans (and other Westerners) for who we are and, therefore, there is nothing we can do, no cognizable demands we could ever satisfy, short of stepping into a cultural gas chamber that would ever satisfy the essential demands of the Muslim fundamentalists.” [AD, p. 33]

41. [6x-Islam-Mohammed-PP-Slides- LB.PPT]41 SELECTED QUOTES (e.1) Sayid Qutb, a radical 20th-century Islamic thinker and writer wrote: ‘ This Christian idolatry of the Trinity and its notions of sin and redemption which make no sense at all; this Capitalism, predicated as it is on monopoly and interest-taking, money- grubbing, and exploitation;

42. [6x-Islam-Mohammed-PP-Slides- LB.PPT]42 SELECTED QUOTES (e.2) this individualism which lacks any sense of solidarity and social responsibility other than that laid down by law; that crass and vacuous materialistic perception of life, that animal freedom which is called permissiveness, that slave market dubbed “women’s liberation.”’ [Qutb, in Selengut, p. 51]

44. [6x-Islam-Mohammed-PP-Slides- LB.PPT]44 AN OBSERVATION It’s been said that most Muslims are peaceful and moderate; that only a few are radical.
