Determined to Exclude Islam Commentating on the interview and Tlass’s qualities, Professor Joshua Landis (Director at the Centre for Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma) said whilst the odds were against his being accepted as the answer to where to find an alternative to Assad, ‘if anyone could do it’, it was ‘someone like him’: well-known in Syria, able to win people in the current regime and against Islamic politic groups. So the nice guys are looking for an alternative in Syria and they are sure about one thing.
Islam should be left out of the equation.
And who said that crusades were a thing of past?

There is couplet in Urdu:
Noor-e-khuda hai kufr ki harkat pe khandazan
Phookon se ye charagh bujhaya na jayega

Divine light is amused at the actions of disbelief
This lamp will not be extinguished by blowing on it

Sooner or later our friends in the west have to realize that Muslims are defined by Islam and they have neither abandoned Islam nor they are ready to compromise on it. Christian world at logger heads with Islam from day one. this is a long story. The only interesting chapter in that engagement between Christian Europe and Islamic world is that for last few centuries Europe has been dominating Muslim geography in one way or in another way. That domination was challenged about a hundred years ago and physical domination was diluted to a great extent by dismantling of colonialism. Neo-colonialism, including economic colonialism, stands completely challenged. Our western brothers are acknowledging it.
How long will the euphemisms like Radical Islam and Political Islam and the like serve the western purpose?
