One thing to pray for is that Islam get as tame and watered down as much of Christianity has become. I am sure this is the fervent hope of the "tolerant" secularists. This has happened in places to some extent. There are many Moslems who do not know their own faith, who are simply trying to just "get along" and are just as secularist as the rest. This is the "approved" Islam, but it really isn't "Islam". What I think people don't quite realize, is that the militants actually have gotten it "right". They do, actually, represent the real, true, unadulterated, pure Islam as formulated by Muhammed, not the watered-down, totally allegorical, compartmentalized "belief system" that the modern world wants them to become (and us too, for that matter).
