I'm don't think I've ever read such a clear description of Islamic thought. Certainly, this article only touches on the aspects covered in Berman's article, but I still found it extraordinarily insightful. For those of us living in the West, it is eye-opening to learn about the internal struggles between different Muslim ideologies, especially when we are so often exposed only to the ones that want us dead.

"There is a moderate Islam,...ignored by all the Western media purveyors of stereotypes. But it constitutes the majority of Muslim believers, and I am confident it will prevail...." I hope you are right, Mr. Schwartz.
