    Depends on your interpretation of Islam I guess. If you think it's suicide bombing infidels and other retarded shit, then I'd agree. If you think it's quietly going about your business, following the laws, and praying to your own God I'd say it's perfectly compatible with a society that values freedom above all else.

    Keep in mind that the Irish used to be negro. Below negro actually. That was back when the Irish lived with and like American blacks. Then the Irish changed and adopted mainstream culture. Then they became known as white. The white/negro distinction was thought of in terms of culture, not skin. The emphasis on skin color is new and it began to dominate when communism collapsed and then postmodernism had to adopt a new form of the communist ethos. It went from being about the bourgeoisie (oppressor) vs. the proletariat (oppressed) to being about the white working Christian (oppressor) vs. the minority (oppressed).

    Sufi Islam has transformed the religion enough that that sect is compatible, I'd say. The trick Sufis use is not taking any of the text literally at all. Everything is just spiritual and symbolic.

    As for other sects, I am more sanguine about this now than I used to be. I have kinda bought into the narrative Thomas Wictor discusses. That is that the Saudis are rapidly transforming their religion and country to become socially modern. We should keep in mind, however, that the primary reason for the Salafi and terrorism aspect of Islam is the literal interpretation of its holy texts, and that needs to be dealt with.
