Douglas Murray on Islam: "...to say Islam is a religion of peace ...is nonsense; it is to ignore the reality.... it is to ignore very difficult but necessary facts...to say that Islam is a religion of peace is to say something based entirely on hope.  It is to elevate a hope into truth, and I hope as you know history tells us it is a very bad thing to do!
